BotleySaint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Our passing is on the whole abysmal.I guess we are bound to lack a bit of coherency with new faces and formation.
mulletsaint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Why don't PL teams use the long throw more? Delap always unsettled the opposition, and this bloke is also a bit of a nuisance. You'd think more teams would have someone who could throw well, as an another occasional attacking option. It must be mostly just a matter of practice surely? I imagine Pulis has scouts at this game.
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 The biggest problem is we're barely getting the ball to Mane/Jay Rod and constantly going back and forth between Targett//Cedric and the midfield who are too nervous to play sharp passes into the strikers feet. Yeah, constantly passing to a player sitting on the bench is not going to get us anywhere is it ;-)
Batman Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Jesus. We really have regressed a hell of a great deal. Koeman looks fuk'd off
Suhari Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 They really are getting bodies back deep. Very little space.
CWD Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Caulker doesn't inspire s lot of confidence when dealing with balls into the box. Jwp playing well
Saint Charlie Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Jesus. We really have regressed a hell of a great deal. Koeman looks fuk'd off With 5 players in the starting XI who wouldn't have got a look in last season in the first choice team then it is hardly suprising.
Saint Benali Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 They should be at least 2 up. We are so bad. JWP is offering nothing at all.
hypochondriac Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Starting to get a bit concerned now. We have looked unconvincing in every match so far. Our midfield in particular has become pants all of a sudden. We look so slow...
5string Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Why are we shooting from 40 yards out?! Mind, is it better than last season's attempts to walk the ball in from 6 inches? This is nervous viewing.
Batman Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 They should be at least 2 up. We are so bad. JWP is offering nothing at all. He is doing alright IMO
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Targett should've followed in Andersson there, if he hadn't slipped he'd have had a free shot at goal. Need to make sure we're concentrating properly. Romeu looking good, added some solidity to our midfield and allowed JWP to get forward and try to spread the play. Got to push a bit higher up second half, try and play on the edge of their box and exploit any gaps in their defence as they're sitting very deep in 2 banks of 4.
richard Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Lovely run by Targett, first time he has tried to go past the guy. Hope it gives him some more confidence to try it again.
adrian lord Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Koeman won't stay another season if he has to rebuild with cheap replacements yet again. He will want to progress his career and take a club forward not try to tread water at Saints with smaller flippers every season.
Saint Benali Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 He is doing alright IMO He is basically our main creative midfielder on the pitch. Isn't making any passes that are getting us up the pitch. Always backwards or to the sides. Plus he doesn't track back well.
richard Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Midgetland are really well organised, we are having to go backwards a bit too much.
mulletsaint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 JRod still doesn't look up to speed but understandable I suppose. Still, I'd get him off and stick Juanmi on second half.
Batman Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Oh dear. Literally, no player within 20 yards from him on the edge of our area
alpine_saint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Koeman won't stay another season if he has to rebuild with cheap replacements yet again. He will want to progress his career and take a club forward not try to tread water at Saints with smaller flippers every season. This. The board got lucky last season, this season they have been exposed as Rupert Lowe wannabees
Saints foreva Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 We've been ****e again. Schneiderlin sized gap. Massive.
saint lard Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Lol well the European tour went well. Best off out of it by the way we are performing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saint-Armstrong Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Midtjylland playing the averages and the odds. And they lead...
SO16_Saint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 We looked better then last 15 mins of the half and then just let Sparv free. Caulker reminds me of Dean Richards. Looked calm and composed that half.
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 FFS - that's really irritating. We had been well on top for the last 15 minutes, then that happens right on HT. Poor clearance from Fonte dropped it straight to Sparv, and despite having a very good view of it all, Stekkers got nowhere near it.
alpine_saint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Fun while it lasted. Season long struggle beckons. LVG and Levy picking their phones up as we watch. Another exodus beckons.
Batman Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Let's be honest. Last season side would demolish this one. We need to improve a great deal or a relegation scrap is most definitely on. No I await you all to have a right pop at me.
mulletsaint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 This. The board got lucky last season, this season they have been exposed as Rupert Lowe wannabees You tedious ****.
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Fonte looks a shadow of his former self so far this season
SuperSAINT Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 I've jinxed this by getting BT Sports for this match haven't I?
IronCitySaint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Just as we were getting on top, too. Terrible first 30 minutes but looked OK the last part of the half, until that goal. With all the defensive players out there I would have expected one of them to be in the general vicinity of Sparv.
Viking Saint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Had to be Sparv didn't it....we are looking pretty bloody ordinary.....
mulletsaint Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 I'm more disappointed with Wanyama than anything else. Now is the time for him to step up to the plate as the main man and he just looks like a headless chicken. Poor decision making, poor passing and poor shooting.
