Baird of the land Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Frustrating game against difficult opposition. We conceded a soft goal. While at the other end if i'm being critical, while it was a nice save i want Pelle to get a firmer contact on Long's delicious cross and leave Howard no hope of saving it. JWP playing well but equally with the sun in the keeper's eyes making sure he got the free kick on target rather then being the perfectionist and going for the top corner might have been better. Elia's been quiet going forward, as has bertrand(lennon keeping him in check.) 2nd half surely has to be Tadic or Mane for Elia
austsaint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 It's a match that we can still win, but I'm prepared for the disappointment of defeat and 45 minutes of being slowly tortured by the poisonous kiss of hope. Yeah, it feels a bit like that doesn't it.
Ohio Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 zamora scored a peach... I scored with a water melon once. Any port in a storm.
Window Cleaner Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Merington on the radio reckons that Morgan is doing really well so far in sharp contrast to what some on here are saying !! Opinions, eh Looks OK to me as well, very nice creative passing, pity we can't do anything much with it.
St Marco Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 No goal or touch not being made at a corner doesn't by default make it a bad delievery. Extremely harsh to criticise him for that, he was very close to scoring. Lambert did similar, not every Lambert free kick was a goal. So hitting the ball into the penalty box constitutes a good corner then? Of course Lambert missed a lot of chances too. As do all players. But they score some too don't they?
Saints foreva Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Elia still on ffs. Needs to improve massively, wasn't even in the game in the first half.
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 So hitting the ball into the penalty box constitutes a good corner then? Of course Lambert missed a lot of chances too. As do all players. But they score some too don't they? He is a set piece specialist because he just is and practices them a lot, ok?
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Mane has scored 5 in his last 9 PL apps apparently. Madness not to get him on assuming he doesn't have a knock.
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Long one of few strikers who are better without the ball than with it.
Jonnyboy Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Fans at the game - please get a Mane chant going!!!
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 1 nil all over it. bye bye europe We're all but guaranteed Europe?
obelisk Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Saints crosses into the box invariably find a defender.
saint michael Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Can't remember our passing being this bad. Tadic coming on
SuperMikey Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Hopefully Tadic and Mane can provide a bit of movement ahead of the ball - get Elia and Pelle off and move Long into the middle.
BotleySaint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 If we can keep this pressure up I think we'll be okay. Frustrating so far.
DT Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 I called it dead on. 60 minutes sub Mane. Textbook subsititutioning
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Double switch apparently so hopefully mane on too Yep. Elia and JWP coming off. Thought Prowsey has had a decent game but the switch makes sense.
angelman Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Elia off for Mane and JWP off for Tadic imo. You're good
SuperMikey Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Tadic on for Elia, Mane on for JWP... interesting sub, thought Prowsey was playing well.
St Marco Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 You're good Haha pretty logical subs as neither helping us keep the ball. Should allow Long to go further forward.
Coxford_lou Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 You're good Technically speaking it was Elia off for Tadic, and JPW off for Mane, but we'll give him that one
Edmonton Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Frustrating thing is that apart from the goal, Davis has had nothing to do. Typical Saints performance as in plenty of the ball, possession but lacking the final ball.
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Looking far more dangerous now Still just trying to walk it into the net though.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Why oh why shout a chant for Tadic when he's been largely ineffective for so many games? Mane has been twice the player for us.
St Marco Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 This should be our starting 11 every game. Look far more balanced around the pitch.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Pelle completely out of the game again now. Looking very poor money for a top 6 side and don't deserve Europe on this showing.
BotleySaint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Starting to feel like recent games - dominate but unable to put it away. Then Everton get a break-away second and we wonder what happened.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Pelle completely out of the game again now. Looking very poor money for a top 6 side and don't deserve Europe on this showing. Luckily Europe isn't decided on one performance...
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 How the holy fook is that not a foul on Mane?!?
BotleySaint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Pen? I reckon he would have kept it in if he hadn't been taken out.
Saints foreva Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Annoyingly, they are there for the taking but we've been poor in attack this half.
Pass the Dutchie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 A draw would still be disappointing. Time for a goal!
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 Naismith should have got a yellow for diving there.
Saint Charlie Posted 4 April, 2015 Posted 4 April, 2015 A draw would still be disappointing. Time for a goal! Not sure about that. Draw would be a good result against a decent enough side. We haven't exactly been fluent in much of 2015 so won't go and streamroller anyone.
