Wrensup Posted 15 August, 2015 Share Posted 15 August, 2015 But last season it was 10-12 million wannabees, guess there's a difference. Last season we kept the base of our system and spent some real money, this season doesn't seem to be quite the same. True that dawg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washsaint Posted 15 August, 2015 Share Posted 15 August, 2015 Wow, what a bunch of cry babies! Blame for this defeat needs to be firmly laid at the feet of Koeman today: truly awful team selection. Those slagging off Cedric and Targett: they got absolutely zero help and support from Long and tadic who were both utterly useless. Add in the terrible performance from Steve Davis and basically we only had Wanyama in midfield. The new guy looks like he will be an excellent addition and shored up our non-existent midfield in the second half. Both Mane and Pelle I thought were very good with such terrible service from our non-existent midfield and Yoshida did not have his best game. Plenty of work for Koeman to do though and a CB is an absolute must. Still very early days and still reckon we will be top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 15 August, 2015 Share Posted 15 August, 2015 We did enough to win last week but were second best in every department today ...why do we always seem to stumble on the first sunny day of the season ? .......now is a good test to see how Ronald puts it right, but worth remembering that after two matches at the start of last season we had just ..... one point.

Im all for having a target but he is a defender in one of the least competitive leagues in the world.. granted Wanyama was a good signing from Celtic but this guy better be bl*ody good to warrant all this faith we are putting in him.

Fontes mate from Portugal that played like Adam Sandler's "Waterboy" first half last match and exposed again today. Caulker.. A defender whos been part of the two leakiest defences 2 seasons running Jumanji... Excited at his pedigree to be honest but unlikely to play much part without injuries to starting 11 Clasie.. a decent "name" but looks very very lightweight physically for this league. Martina.. a utility bit part player Romeu... looked settled today but again a punt on a forgotten player. Definitely a tactic to try once or twice a season But come on, are these the sort of quality signings that take a team that were knocking on the Champs league door for half of last season to the next level?

Compared to some of the players, Koeman is being very gently treated on here tonight. I love the guy but he dropped a massive clanger today, and that was the cause of today's sh*t-show. He had a bit of an excuse last week (I'm sure he was fully consulted about the starting line up at Newcastle), but not today. He'd had a chance to learn the lesson from last week, and he had the role-player we needed in order to play the way we have to play. He should have started him. Now we've got the usual suspects, including the urine-soaked one from Austria, ignoring that fact, crying about want-away players, and opting to berate the Board and everyone bar those who picked the team. By the time we learn the lessons of the last two games, get our injured players back, and sign VvD (or whoever), we'll be fine. The other results this season are already all over the place.

derry Posted 15 August, 2015 Share Posted 15 August, 2015 . The team selection was poor. We were caught out last week with Newcastle playing around our midfield. This week the same midfield the same result, totally exposed back four. Romeu brought some balance to midfield but Davis as a forward when we were chasing goals didn't work. Romeu should have started with Wanyama in front of the back four. I can't help thinking that Martina is a safer bet than Targett. Everton were much more dynamic up front with their fastest players on the shoulders of the defenders and the midfielders breaking fast. We had the static Pelle up front seeming to be moaning the whole game maybe with some justification. Our quick players were too deep and neutered by our really slow build up which closes down the space available in the opponents defence. Our free kicks and corners floated in are dire. They need to be put in with pace. Chasing the game the substitutions didn't work for me. I thought Davis should have been swopped for Romeu although Tadic wasn't much of a threat. Then Rodriguez for Long, again I thought Davis. The really negative one was JWP for Davis, a case of no goals changed for no goals. We need to get the ball up to the forwards more quickly rather than the really slow build up and have our quick forwards getting at the opponents back four with space behind.

We looked much better when he came on I think he will be a good addition to the team having said that I didn't expect him to start because he has only been at the club a few days. Starting Reed next to Victor with Davis in the 10 role would have made more sense as a starting 11 IMO keep it tight. The last two games we've looked very open.

(i.e lack of Ryan, Jordy). I'm sure our prefered lineup is Wanyama and Clasie/Romeu with the likes of Mane, Tadic, Long, Jay in a 3 behind Pelle. The full backs need more protection, In a way I kind of feel sorry for Cedric, although he hasn't covered himself in glory. What we missed in the first half were 2 sitting midfielders who would clean up in the full back positions, that's why we were hit so many times down the flanks.

St_Tel49 Posted 15 August, 2015 Share Posted 15 August, 2015 If anyone is showing hatred then thats a shame and quite frankly ludicrous. But today and last week has has been a weak link and out of his depth. As we know with Fox, Hooiveld etc any weak links get ruthlessly exposed in the PL. Last week Merrington was repeatedly pointing out that Targett was getting little cover from JRod and he was getting equally little cover from Shane Long this week. He pulled off one brilliant piece of defending in our box in the first half which shows what he is capable of. He has yet to develop the consistency that will make him a top player - but it is far to early to condemn him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanyama played better when he came on because he was freed from the entire defensive burden. I Iike Steve Davis but he is no DM. I think this is where the problem with us lies atm - we've had such a strong spine for the last couple of seasons with Morgan and Vic sitting in front of the defence, but without Morgan we're found lacking. Unfortunate for us that Clasie has been unavailable recently and Romeu not quite ready to start, as our DMs are so important to how the team plays. If Clasie/Romeu gel with Vic we'll be fine, our squad is strong overall but we're missing something in the middle atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ART Posted 15 August, 2015 Share Posted 15 August, 2015 If Koeman manages to turn things around this seasonn( and I might add he's not succeeded in doing so since February) it will be an incredible achievement. One that will top everything he did last season. We don't have the players available ( injured or fit) and need to spend big in the coming weeks to stand any chance of holding our own. The Europa hoodoo has hit fast and without a squad big enough to cope with the incredible arrival of games that await us it's looking bad.. We struggled last season when the additional cup games and injuries arrived. We need hard and real men who can play at this level, not midgets and dwarfs who are knocked over and poleaxed with the wave of a feather. Koeman has to let Les Reed and the Board know it straight what awaits us unless we get the players we need. (Joey Barton anyone?!!!) I blame Koeman for letting Les Reed have too bigger say and being too shy to spend what's needed to maintain our position. The way things are we're on a slide. On afterthought, one sees clearer why Pochettino and players departed when left to deal with Les Reed. Targett was left unprotected and exposed in a way I've rarely seen during a Saints game. Why is he being made the scapegoat. I'm not his biggest fan but with the right players around him he will make it big sooner than later. More experienced players have to carry the rap for the abysmal performance in the first half. Koeman waited too long to make the changes when Tadic and Long should have been removed far soon. Surely Martina should have been brought on together with Romeu. No, Koeman is living up to his past form in management and it's going to take a lot to maintain the equilibrium, let alone move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
