Saint86 Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 23 shots, 3 on target..... We need some serious work. No surprise that Pelle went off and we score by my book.

alpine_saint Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 A win as a win, but I dont see how anyone can take any comfort from that performance. There are major issues to be dealt with; the team has lost its way. I really hope they come back from Switzerland refreshed, revitalised and with new ideas.

Sheaf Saint Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 Interesting that no sooner do we take Pelle off, we manage to score. He would never have made that run into the box that Mane did to gamble on the keeper spilling the shot and getting on to the rebound. Hopefully now Koeman will realise just how damaging it is playing a statuesque lump as a lone striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattio Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 23 shots - 3 on target, tells a lot on its own. Still don't feel confident in Forster, needs to learn to catch! Pelle and Dujduric(sp) lacking confidence Long played well - start Vs Chelsea? Ward Prowse had a bit of a mini mare Defence played well especially Fonte and Yoshida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 Looked like we was at least trying to move the ball quickly in the final third. Hope this brings some confidence! Wouldn't be against giving Long a try in Pelle's spot for a few games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 Same problems remain but we squeezed out the win. Really important three points nonetheless. Hard to know what the best mix in the final third is really. A bit puzzling. Maybe it will come to Koeman while the team play Monopoly in Switzerland?

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 Long deserves a run based on that performance. Been saying that for ages. Any player you've forked out £12m for shouldn't be sat on the bench every week, particularly when you've got a very out of form striker in the team. Just need RK to stick Steven Davis back in the middle and we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 Looked much better with Mane Tadic and Long on the pitch. This. IMO, start with them vs Chelsea with Pelle coming off the bench (with a point to prove). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 Credit to JWP. Admittedly Speroni should have done better but that was the only time one of our CM's got the ball' date=' drove into space and hit a shot on target. Great follow up from Manè[/quote'] Just shows that even a scuff can get you a rebound, unlike the ones that sailed over the bar from the rest of the players. However we must keep JWP away from defensive duties as he was pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be against giving Long a try in Pelle's spot for a few games Agree with you B man, lets see what Long can offer for a few games with runners off him, his spring wins him headers he shouldn't get so won't lose that from our game but he has massive wheels compared to Pelle's speed.

Baird of the land Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 A scrappy rather lucky win but i'll take it after the run we've been on. Looked much better when Tadic came on. Surely has to be the regular starter. Once we scored we went into complete panic mode. JWP almost handed them an eqauliser but at least he was involved in a positive attacking sense in the goal(even if his shooting still needs work) Hopefully the win will boost confidence somewhat. Though not sure what to do about Pelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 Feel a bit strange after that one. Obviously delighted we won, but the performance was woeful. Not sure we've turned the corner yet. MOTM Yoshida.

richard Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 ****ing happy with a scrappy 1-0 after the run we've had. Team can relax in CH and there's no pressure on the next game. On we march! Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDog Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 phew!!!. I couldn't take watching it after Palace hit the post, so I went to work instead (yep, it was THAT bad...lol). Got to work a couple of minutes of Mane had scored and then proceeded to spend the next 7 or 8 minutes pressing F5. That had to be the poorest performance of the season. So many unforced errors, so bereft of ideas. How did the subs play? Was that a turning point? Up until then I couldn't think of one player who stood out in a good way for us. Thank god Palace were equally as bad and that we had a bit of luck on our side. I know they were encouraged to shoot on sight...but 3 out of 23 on target? Some of those efforts were plainly ridiculous. I'm tying tho think of something positive. Oh yes... 3 POINTS!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly Speroni should have done better but that was the only time one of our CM's got the ball' date=' drove into space and hit a shot on target. [/quote'] This. Both him and Tadic improved our attacking midfield greatly when they came on. JWP should stick to that rather than defending in his own box though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted 3 March, 2015 Share Posted 3 March, 2015 The win was more important than the performance. Who thinks that Pelle should be rested and Long start against Chelski ? Start them both - Pelle needs some help up top and Long is the nuisance player to take advantage of knock downs and will get under the skin of Terry and co.
