Saint Charlie Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Great to see him back to being a threat again. Was really good today and combines very well with the full backs to release them. Certainly does that better than Mane or Elia IMO. He looked brighter when he came on versus Palace and was certainly involved in more dangerous areas today. Good sign. Now if we can get him to shoot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 I wonder if he's better when Pelle's not on the pitch. One or two incidents at St Mary's where body language between them has not seemed very positive, and it is perhaps not co-incidental that both their drop in form happened at similar times.

inoffthepost Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 I don't suppose the improved performance was due to being back on the left? I think he's so much better there as he can go either way and a lot more difficult for a defender. Such a shame he didn't go for goal in the second half when he beat 3 or 4 Chelsea defenders because they assumed he was going to pass; I don't think he could believe the opportunity had arisen and thought he ought to make the pass that they were all expecting.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Sorry he does not cut it for me - he had a wonderful opportunity in the second half but dallied and took three touches he didn't need to before looking for another player. I would get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintSteve Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Sorry he does not cut it for me - he had a wonderful opportunity in the second half but dallied and took three touches he didn't need to before looking for another player. I would get rid. A touch harsh, but there were times today when he was frustrating to say the least. The fact that he prefers assists to goals means his first instinct is to pass when he has a great shooting opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Still not quite his old self but today was the best performance from him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Wish he would effing shoot. There were 3 moments during that play in the box where he could have pulled the trigger. The last one was an easy pass into the corner of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Agree Charlie. Much better than Elia and djuricic on today's form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Agree Charlie. Much better than Elia and djuricic on today's form. Meh, I like what Elia brings, id buy him, good player. Djuricic hasnt done anything to make me want to keep hold of him though. Id like to see tadic pull the trigger more though, has a decent left foot that boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Better but nowhere near the OP's assessment. Would have probably subbed him earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintLiam Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 He was a bit too selfless today. Had a great chance to score after skillfully passing 3 defenders, but instead decided to pass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Red Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 But did hit one cracking shot that the keeper pulled off a great save to stop. Can't ignore the time he did shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Don't forget that this is still his first season after stepping up to the premier league. I think he deserves another year. At the very least he's a good squad player, no reason to get rid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dig Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 I remember when he was an upgrade on Lallana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Was excellent for the first 50 odd minutes. Didn't notice him after that apart from his good run into the box when he should have shot (although the pass to Long was good and Shane could have done better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb4life Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Tadić can go missing for long periods. But there's no denying he has been the catalyst for a lot of key moments in big games this season. Assists and goals against Liverpool (away), United (away), Arsenal (cup), Chelsea (home and away). Wouldn't be too quick to get rid of creative players who can perform against the better teams.
