Koolman Posted 7 February, 2015 Share Posted 7 February, 2015 Close but a win is a win and 3pts obviously crucial. Strange to think that I'll be supporting West Ham tomorrow but willing them to lose a couple of days later Man City must be looking very nervously over their shoulder at the moment. Top 4 for Saints? I want the runners up spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 7 February, 2015 Share Posted 7 February, 2015 It's all about the 3 points today. By all accounts we should have won last week, so to grab this win today is sweet. I still hope a few of the players hit form soon - Pelle with his goals, Tadic with his creativity, and of course getting Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Alderweireld and now Targett fit, if we want to achieve top 4, or at least fight for it until the end of the season. Glad to have Mane though. Already seen the goal and it was a great finish. I work with a lot of QPR fans, so work will be fun tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 7 February, 2015 Share Posted 7 February, 2015 Fun seeing so many people jump up in the QPR section behind the goal when it went in. SNSUN - I know it's not the same, but Tadic had a big hand in the build up to the goal. He's still affecting games in a positive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Not a great performance but managed to grind it out. Well done Mane, never stopped trying and is starting to have much fewer mad moments. A genuine threat for us and developing into a top PL player. Would love to have JRod to drop into that side at the moment. Pelle looks a bit lost playing the old Big Number 9 role. Needs a foil badly. Big shout out for Yoshida who ran the length of the field in the 93rd minute to make himself available for Tadic and then found Mane with a peach of a pass. Great touch from the Centre Half. 3rd place in the Premier League. 14 games to go. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torsaint Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 In Pelle's defence, he was limping in the second half and was held round the waist at every corner we took. No idea why the Ref did nothing about it. Smalling only held his shirt a few weeks ago and also got away with it. Outstanding win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 according to stats. Fonte shot against the bar was ...the 14th time we've hit the woodwork this season ! great persistance by Mane - who had a rough ride from QPR defenders (and little protection from the ref.) during the game. think both he (and Elia ) are the obvious Plan B in attack, especially as Pelle is getting so much stick from defenders and is clearly out of luck recently. Gardos looked a lot " harder " this time around than in his last game, and Yoshida had another excellent game. a good overall performance from a team learning to play 95 minutes every match.

martel Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Watching MOTD right now. Unbelievable save from Forster Just had a look at the gallery on the saints site, it shows a photograph of Elia getting a boot in the attachments, the next is him on the deck clutching the said area, however, it is the third that made me laugh with him looking down the front of his shorts,( to check if everything is where it should be I guess)that has to be a candidate for a caption competition, shouldn't laugh really of course just could not help it, poor guy.

Charlie Wayman Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Is there a problem when we are winning? We are finding it more and more difficult to score goals compared with the start of the season which must be a problem because we won't always be this lucky with last minute winners. We need more c creativity going forward, balls into channels is unimaginative and easy to deal with. We don't seem to be able to thread the ball though the middle of packed defences any more, tap and move, tap and move the way Chelsea and Arsenal can on their better days even 'though we have players who can move fast and keep good close control. Time to find a new attacking coach? The defence is absolutely rock solid even when half the subs are used but you don't win matches with clean sheets and on current form if we go one down we seem to struggle.

Watching the highlights, Mane got himself in a one on one situation a couple of times. Personally I think we're creating enough chances, we just need to start being more clinical. Pelle's goalscoring form is a bit of a concern, but we're still up there fighting. Nice of SSN to mention at the end of the clip of the game that we are now in third just 4 points behind Man City!

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Well done Saints on a well deserved, and hard fought for, 4th consecutive away win. Of course, all the players didn't put in worldies, but there were some great moments from many: Mane, Forster, Fonte, Wanyama, to name but a few. I am so happy that we have Koeman as manager and most certainly none of the phuktards who purport to be Saints 'fans' on here who NEED someone to slag off. Mane is rubbish, they said; Forster is rubbish they say (what an amazing save today, pure fluke obviously); Tadic is rubbish (had an awful game today, according to some, despite the fact he only played for about 15 minutes of it); Pelle is rubbish (look at his standing in FF leagues.... FFS); etc. etc. It is completely amazing how we are 3rd in the league seeing as we have so many poor players - (according to the phuktards that is!!!!)

Time to find a new attacking coach? The defence is absolutely rock solid even when half the subs are used but you don't win matches with clean sheets and on current form if we go one down we seem to struggle. I would say our league position is primarily due to our defensive strength, rather than our attacking prowess. Also, this is a common problem for leading teams to overcome: opposition 'park the bus' basically saying "think you're good? Get through this!" We have good attacking options, but not the quality yet which will tear defensive teams apart, like Chelsea, Man City & Arsenal have. However, a Mane + Elia strike combo with Tadic supporting with his passing quality would be a fearsome attack (if a little 'short'). Pelle on the bench to change things later if necessary. Then JR to reappear when fit. Looking good for the last few games of the season, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 On MotD highlights they showed Pelle's being pulled back by his shirt as he waited for the ball to come in from a corner kick. The ref saw it and warned the QPR defender to stop. Said defender stopped briefly and then started doing it again as the ball came in. The ref did nothing. What's the point of the ref telling the defender to stop it and then do nothing when it happens again. I'm sure Pelle would ha e more goals if the refs actually did their job and punished these fouls in the box. Anywhere else on the pitch and it would be a free kick.

Saints foreva Posted 8 February, 2015 Share Posted 8 February, 2015 Delighted we've got 3 points. Massive scare at the end and we got lucky there. I didn't think it was a foul on Forster, he's 6ft 7 - He should be taking that ball out of the sky with ease but he panicked. Pelle was atrocious today and has been for some time in the league. Hopefully it's just a knock restricting him and not because he's been found out at this level. I take this back. I didn't notice Austin pushed Fonte into Forster. I don't think the referee was going to give the foul either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
