austsaint Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Targett out of his depth this match. Not just for the cck up, but has given possession away too many times. Reallt have missed Bertrand. Up front we have been woefully bad. No chances created...nothing. Plus an extremely poor referee, cost us this game. Can't agree with you about Targett; apart from the slip which was unlucky, he has had a good match.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Yes the lack of cutting edge in the final is now costing us big TIME!!
Saints foreva Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 No fight and no effort. This has been a disgraceful performance.
NewYorkSaint Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 we have enough great attackers to try a system w/o Pelle for a few games. i love the guy... but he mgiht just need a break. having said that his ball in the opening 15 seconds could and should have won the game for us another day...
5string Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Quick reminder. WE ARE FIFTH Yep and that's a very good thing. Was hoping for 3rd, though...
saintoaks Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Alan Smith "Saints appear to have run out of ideas" feck me ! They ran out of ideas in the frigging 1st half.
BotleySaint Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Alan Smith "Saints appear to have run out of ideas" feck me ! They ran out of ideas in the frigging 1st half. Of the Swansea game
stpedro Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Think we have been worked out strategically. Liverpool playing in exactly the same way Swansea, West Ham etc played against us, playing deep and hitting us on the counterattack. We are really struggling to break teams down, neither midfield nor wide men are creating any chances unfortunately. It's not like we're playing badly, since in 2/3rds of the pitch we are controlling things well, but somehow we have got to get more out of Elia, Mané, Djuricic, Pelle, Tadic, Ward-Prowse et al. It's the lack of a killer final ball, a well measured cross or (most frustratingly) a decent long range shot that is holding us back. Liverpool have done exactly the same job as our last 4/5 opponents and taken the chances, one with a great goal, one with our one defensive slip in the game
ART Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Graziano and Koeman's Midgets. Why wasn't Long used?
captainchris Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 There is no way that Pelle should be picked for the next match. The coaches need to take a very harsh honest look at themselves, this system constantly having Pelle with back to goal like he inists on doing is NOT working so tell him to face the goal or DROP HIM or drop the coaches - one of the two !!!!
Yorkshire Saint Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Someone needs to learn to just bloody hit it
Norm Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Where does this rank on the 'Worst performances' list? Forget about blaming the ****e Ref.
saintoaks Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Has Pelle actually touched the ball in the second half ?
geoffnut Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 The result of this game is not the refs fault, blame the players and the manager who have run out of ideas.

We have missed Ryan yes, but Targett hasnt been that bad, apart from the slip
Edmonton Saint Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 Well seeming we couldn't find a breakthrough past a 9 man West Ham last game, this should be no surprise.
Donatello Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 There is no way that Pelle should be picked for the next match. The coaches need to take a very harsh honest look at themselves, this system constantly having Pelle with back to goal like he inists on doing is NOT working so tell him to face the goal or DROP HIM or drop the coaches - one of the two !!!! My issue with his current play is more to do with his apparent inability to get anywhere near any of our crosses. Given that we cross more than any either side, he needs to be making more of a nuisance of himself. Fatigue, perhaps.

We get to the box..... wait...... look for the perfect pass.... not there... wait.... pass it backwards.... look again.... zzz.... zzzzz Could do with a bit of zip-bang-wallop!
Ohio Saint Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 The result of this game is not the refs fault, blame the players and the manager who have run out of ideas. While I agree that Saints have not done the job, the ref set the mood of the game VERY early on.

nta786 Posted 22 February, 2015 Posted 22 February, 2015 guys, stop blaming forster. look. even if forster stopped the second goal, we still would HAVE LOST. we can't score even if our lives depend on it.
