Batman Posted 11 April, 2015 Author Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Dawson's always been good in the air though, and he's been all over Pelle. I agree he's not very mobile but nobody's giving him the ball to feet and when they do he has no support from Mane or Long. He's had to drop very deep into almost a centre forward role rather than leading the line just to get the ball to feet. As said before. I believe we are far more dangerous when long and mane are up the middle Cloggers like hull have must relish playing against Pelle right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Davis puts it out of play again - he must be carrying a knock or something because he's usually much more careful and accurate with his passing. Agree on Ward-Prowse at HT - more attacking player as well. Fark that, push Mane into the middle and bring on Elia or Tadic on the left. Its sunny again maybe Tadic will start to play better again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Generally very poor indeed. Where is the sweet passing football we used to see from Saints - it's now pretty awful Is it right we have only taken 11 points from the last 27? Something has gone badly wrong.

James Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Pelle really isn't playing too badly, he gets nothing out of the ref ever. It's just fashionable to say he's rubbish these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 To be honest Prowse for Davis I think should be the change at half time. And hopefully we can kick on and get an early goal, come out of the blocks all guns blazing. If we want to finish 5th or 6th which if we're serious about Europe we need to, we need to win this game. If we don't then I really fear we will peter out like last season and trudge in 7th with a gap between below and above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 We are lacking players who can beat the opposition one on one and in order to make more chances we have lost our fluidity midfield dominance and passing game by tinkering with the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieDog Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Davis has been our best player so far! (Kelvin, that is...). The other one has been completely off the pace. The whole team seems disjointed though. Long has worked hard but his touch has been poor. Would be happy to see both Steve Davis and Long replaced at half time. Tadic on the left and JWP replacing Davis. As expected, the Ref has given us nothing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had to drop very deep into almost a centre forward role rather than leading the line just to get the ball to feet.no creativity or playmaking out there. I have no idea what our offensive strategy is. Tadic and JWP in. Pelle and Davis out. Wanyama being played today was a bad choice, especially knowing that Friend was officiating. Hull has gotten the ball in our penalty box a little too much for my liking. All it takes is one weird deflection in a crowd and this game is over. That being said, I can't say the back 4 have played badly, but really no offensive threat on either wings in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Painful to watch that first half. Outplayed and beaten to almost everything by a very average Hull side. We have been woeful. Davis has had a mare and Long has shown exactly why he only scores 4 or 5 goals a season. He is so average it's not true. Collectively we need to improve big style, go behind and I just don't see us able to unlock a side right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo_ARG Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Koeman needs to start with Tadic. How long until he realizes this? It's just so obvious. We had no crossings at all from the left. Tadic can beat any defender off his dribble. Betrand and Mane didn't hook up once. Bertrand needs to make more runs forward, since Clyne isn't playing. The left side is the key on this match and both players there have been poor. Put Mane in the middle and bring Tadic on for Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Durman Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Poor, poor, poor!!! The worst performance this season and why?? Because Koeman has been tinkering. Alderweireld must play centre back. A fit Clyne must always play right back. Mane should never play left. He operates better in as a no. 10. The system is a mess. Sort it out!!!

ART Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Reed is just the player we need to up the tempo. He's been left on the bench far too long. I'll give up if it's Koeman's usual subs. All he needs to do is watch how we played before the injuries and when we stopped scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG Posted 11 April, 2015 Share Posted 11 April, 2015 Desperate times call for desperate measures, I've stuck a whole £1 on a Hull win. That should ensure a few Saints goals in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
