Saints foreva Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Got a touch on it, good shot from jovetic, it wouldnt have been Forsters fault Fair enough then, I retract my comment!
Mr X Posted 30 November, 2014 Author Posted 30 November, 2014 Tadic has been non existent this half, was against villa too. Toby, VW, Davis and the full backs have been very good I think tadic needs a rest tbh having played every game ( i know others have too)
Plastic Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Fairly even half, lucky we didn't concede a penalty.
Mr X Posted 30 November, 2014 Author Posted 30 November, 2014 pelle seems to be struggling to make much of an impact on the last few game too
Saxon Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Tough first 25 mins, but we rode our luck, excellent defending in parts (Toby) and now we've ended the second half, I would argue, posing the bigger threat. Shame we couldn't get a goal before half time, but I think 0-0 is very fair, especially considering Aguero's unfortunate card (for them that is). Good half time talk from Koeman and we're ready to go I think. We're starting to look good now. Someone just needs to give Pelle some caffeine so he's a bit more awake! The midfield three have slotted into place now and the engine's up and running. Now its nice and warmed up we need to take it to them!
Red Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 I think tadic needs a rest tbh having played every game ( i know others have too) Agreed. Our biggest problem at keeping in the top 4 - when our star players are off form (as every player in the world is at times) we have no one to step in! I think that is why Pelle is scoring less, not getting the same service and understanding from Tadic. Let's hope we get lucky? Shane on for Tadic at half time??
ART Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 We need to work on alternative cornering in a way to draw out the opposition and flip the ball back into the goal area or making a direct kick on goal.
Dr Who? Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Are you posts for real, or are you deliberately coming across as a spoilt little child? we are 2nd in the league and the game is still 0-0 ffs and one of the richest teams in the world. Not at all. We have lost to Liverpool and Spurs on a Sunday and drew with Villa on a Monday. If you think about the way we are trained and prepared for games, it might not be to far off the mark. Not complaining at all, just saying we have been better. Believe me, I am more than happy with this Saints team..... You will find me to be the most positive poster on here. (Apart from when we were getting rid of all our players in the summer).
Ampersound Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 I think if we score too early against City they could do to us what they did in the Champs league during the week. I'd prefer we keep it tight until the 89th min and then score. Happy to win this 1-0
andoru Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Hmm. Happy enough to make it to half-time at 0-0. Man City the stronger team by far, winning every ball in the middle and being more physical. Our players need to muscle up and stop letting themselves get pushed about. Need to up the pace a bit too, and stop waiting for the ball to reach them. One or two look like they think we're playing a bottom-table team who will give time and stand off. City are nicking the ball effortlessly. We've had our moments, but we're relying on errors from City, not forcing the errors ourselves. Koeman needs to give one of his now famous half-time arse rocket speeches.
Bearsy Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Never a pen. Referee spot on. I'd of booked Joe Hart as well, cos of his moustache.

Also, I have no doubt we can win this game. At 0-0 you will not find me turning on our team!
NewYorkSaint Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Wanyama has been immense today. Morgan too, apart from a couple of misplaced passes. Toby. wow. If we're to score, it will either be sub Long, or a goal from the midfield or defense. (cue Pelle hatrick). We've been lucky so far. But what an exciting match. How cool that we get to watch this. 2nd v 3rd... and we're v much in it.
ART Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 8m8 minutes ago For the record @jackcork1 is missing from the #saintsfc squad today because of illness

Look, I don't care what anyone says, we have just seen one of the worst moustaches of the season, and Joe Hart is lucky to be on the field. F*ck knows how the referee missed it. Even the commentators can't believe it.
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 pelle seems to be struggling to make much of an impact on the last few game too Villa did a great job on him tbh, Id say Monday was more their good defending then himself though today he has been v poor for me. Villa Id of liked to have seen him drag their CBs around though, I know he operates primarily through the middle but if you are being man marked that well then you want to give them a problem by drifting wide and deep to break their shape
Batman Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Morgan off, yoshida on Squad laid bare right there
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Fair enough then, I retract my comment! I always say if your a striker, and the keepers coming out hit it near their legs. Far harder to move your legs then get your hands down
Bucks Saint Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Morgan off, yoshida on Squad laid bare right there Tactical choice of sub surely (not decision)
Rich102 Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 We look nervous which is to be expected sadly. Wouldn't change anything at half-time - a draw would be a great result and if we can nick a Villa-esque goal through Mane or (later) Long that'd be great. Feel bad for Tadic and Pelle - both are sub-par today, but it's also not their kind of game. Both very good players, but probably showing why they aren't world-class players (yet).
Edmonton Saint Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Why not Gardos who could have gone in straight into replace Morgan, rather than change the back 4.
saint lard Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Morgan off,Yoshia on. Oh god. The wheels could be coming off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mr X Posted 30 November, 2014 Author Posted 30 November, 2014 Why not Gardos who could have gone in straight into replace Morgan, rather than change the back 4. this, why ???????????????????
Lighthouse Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Yoshida on. We've lost. That's the spirit.
Mr X Posted 30 November, 2014 Author Posted 30 November, 2014 Morgan must have an injury. he does but why not gardos over yoshida? why not a midfielder for a midfielder?
Bearsy Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Referee gonna try and even the decisions up this half
Mr X Posted 30 November, 2014 Author Posted 30 November, 2014 you stand off people thats what happens!!!!!!!!!!!!
