It's not been stellar stuff, but tbf we did what we needed to do in scoring early. No point now getting out of third gear if we don't need to.

I'd been watching for 20 mins before I realised Tadic was playing :(

 

The game is dire. But I suppose that's ok considering the score.

 

Tadic struggles when he is shunted out wide in a flatter midfield. And despite what anyone says, it is a flatter midfield when we put Mane central right up near Pelle.

Our midfield has been poor I hope we do sign another

 

The balance is a bit off with the personnel, but I don't like how easy it is to go through the middle against us. Not good considering this lot are Championship standard at best.

Early goal effectively killed off the game and the tie and we've been playing well within ourselves since. Martina doing a good job at Right back which is good to see. Caulker a bit shaky having some good and not-so-good moments but Fonte looks like a rock next to him as usual. Tadic completely anonymous.

Tadic is our only midfield player who's shown any inkling of playing intelligent passes.

 

We badly need a fit partner for Big Vic. If Classie is injured I would start Reed with him on Sunday with Davis in front.

 

Caulker looks poor, although I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's a bit nervous around his new team mates at the moment.

 

We've been rubbish really but then it's been a dead rubber since the third minute.

 

Also, Stekelenberg could well be an upgrade on Forster.

You can say that again. Just don't get what JWP brings to the team. Poor first half all round mind

 

very little but if you say that you are accused of using him as a scape goat.

We aren't going to be seeded anyway, so West Ham going out will affect the English coefficient

 

It is still possible that we will be - based on all the research others have done

is that good for us if west ham go out?

 

Not really, it increases the chance England will lose its fourth champions League spot which would mean one less club qualifies for Europe in 2017-2018. It could only help us if West Ham and Southampton would have tied for the last seeded spot in tomorrow's draw and they would win whatever tiebreaker is to be used.

3 saints fan's have been arrested for troubles in the town centre. Sounds like they got stuck in a fight with feyenoord and vitesse fans (I might point out that the dutch fans make up the vast majority of the arrests.) I hoep everyone is okay and that no one has done anything to bring the club into disrepute.

Sturm Graz, Robotnicki and Minsk all failed. It would take a miracle

Rabotnicki is in extra time with Trabzonspor. Same for Minsk against Zurich. So, those two could still happen either in ET or penalties.

Fair point. I thought they'd finished, so maybe still in it.

 

Well played again Stek

Job done it's no wonder the performance drops off. Vitesse bound to come forward and have more attacks, not sure why people are slagging saints performance yet again. Been a solid yet unspectacular away performance.

 

This. They're doing just enough to stay in control. If they put everything into it and were totally spent on Sunday, losing to Newcastle there would be bigger complaints.

Mane looks tired. Surprised he's not been rested a bit.

 

I think you may need to say this several times during the season, esp if the nuns aren't working.

Posted
Really hope Caulker doesn't start on Sunday. He's been poor.

 

Yeah, agreed.

 

I would start with Targett at LB and move Yoshida back into the centre for Sunday. It's the only logical option unless we sign a new CB between now and then.

Yes, I'll bank it for future use. Worked a treat. He still looks tired though :)
