Saints foreva Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Not been a great performance in all honesty. We are too predictable when going forward.
Plastic Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Which is why I am saying it's bespoke and you wouldn't be able to buy Saints system off the shelf. The data is provided by our scouting network. Data (input of output) is not software. Check it out. Software Layer: DB Input - data Output - report / query result So the unique bit is the data and reporting as you say. Not the software. I'm pretty bored btw
Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Surely the Cocktail might be a better option than Targett? I would go back to the 4-3-3 and give get Tadic on to combine with Cedric.
ally_uk Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 No Midfield, our passing is toilet! and caulker looks dog**** aswell....
Mallagroth Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Reactions to loose balls or in decision making is slow from nearly every player. Are we over training? Is it the extra game, all our players can't become lazy and clueless in just 6 weeks surely?
Baird of the land Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 I can see why we've changed formation. It does seem have helped Targett & Cedric who have had more protection behind them. Not sure caulker is at all at home in a back three though and its really affecting our ability to try and play any football. Right now we're a threat with Long on the break. I'd be tempted to try and bring on JWP quite soon. With Caulker in the side we seem dangerous from set pieces & we could do with his quality of delivery.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Looking very poor this season. And don't say it's only three games. It's not. It three league games and three Europa games. We looked ****ed already. My money is on Koeman leaving at the end of the season. Really?.....What odds did you get for your money...
saintsmike25 Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 This was always going to be a battle, so far we have coped well with Watford's pace compared to the Everton game. The only worrying factor is we are relying on Targett and Cedric to provide the outlet on the wings when we go forward and sadly, they haven't provided many crosses, well Targett hasn't. Wanyama/Davis/Romeu are all doing well but we need one of them to break more often. As for Caulker he has had a mixed game at least he's made some decent challenges and an important intervention to stop Watford going 1-0 up. Majorly disappointed with Pelle who is having one of those I can't be arsed games.
VectisSaint Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Unsurprisingly Davis proving as ineffective in his preferred position as he has been in defensive midfield. Can we pleased have Juanmi or Tadic on at half time before our forwards lose the will to live? LOL, usual suspect, no attention to the game, just showing your usual personal issues. Why am I not surprised?
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Why is Caulcer the one to complain about - what has Pelle done so far??? Not much he can do with such poor service
Bewildered Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Uninspiring football. Need some creativity on the pitch. Either Tadic or Juanmi on as we just have workhorses on the pitch now.
St Marco Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Parking the bus at Watford. No attack at all. Long ball after long ball. Impressed with Watford though. Some nice passing. Reminds me of how we were last year. Calkuer...... how ****.
Mystic Force Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 As a game it has been a pretty boring to watch.
Mr X Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Am watching this on TSN 4 we look absolutely lethargic no real idea what to do with the ball
Plastic Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 LOL, usual suspect, no attention to the game, just showing your usual personal issues. Why am I not surprised? Davis does look ineffectual today though. We don't have any creators on the field.
S-Clarke Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Stunned by some of the ractions on this thread, it's no where near as bad as some are suggesting. We're doing our job, it's clear that our plan is to nullify the game and see where we are come 60mins or so.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Incredible how some on here claim to be Saints fans
Viking Warrior Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 On a lighter note , I have just seen this on the BBC Everton match report #bbcfootball Dear Everton, would you like to swap Stones for Lovren, Sakho, Enrique and Borini? Come on. Won't be the first Blue to turn Red Also on a sad note . Just seen that a couple of Worthing footballers died yesterday in the air crash . That alone puts life in perspective . Saints will be getting a right shafting from RK and the lads hopefully will wake up and win this game
Stepgar Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Really?.....What odds did you get for your money... Turn of phrase. Dude. Just can't see him hanging around if every year we lose our best two three players. Would you? If you had any ambition that is
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Did the kits get switched before the game? We look slow and not interested. Watford are playing like they are the Saints from last season Not true the saints of last season would be 4-0 by now against us!
richard Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 We don't look as good as we did last season. That was our best season for 30 years or more so it's not that surprising. RK is going to get us playing better soon, perhaps when Bertrand and possibly VVD are in the team.
Chez Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Deeply depressing first half. The quality has been drained from us and all,we have left is the like of Shane Long. Sigh.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Turn of phrase. Dude. Just can't see him hanging around if every year we lose our best two three players. Would you? If you had any ambition that is Happens in Holland every season! One of the reasons we took him on!
Convict Colony Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 I really want to see what Juanmi can do for an extended period, bring him on for Davis for 2nd half.
Leo_ARG Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Not surprised to see the lack of passing. This formation was created for the long ball for the Pelle flickfor Mane, or the long ball for Mane behind the defense, and now he is hurt, so... now what, RK? As I said before the game Davis is not the player needed. He had two counter-attacks and totally rushed the play with passes straight to the opposition both times. Tadic or JWP are better suited for the attacking midfielder who can create something. I mean... anything, someone, please! I wouldn't be a bad idea to bring someone else who can create and set-up an attack, the type of player Fabregas, Mata, Ozil and Cazorla are. Not saying of that caliber, I mean the type. Someone who has a clue of how football is supossed to be played. Horrible... by both sides.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 been at work all day which is normally a bummer on a Sunday but then i came home had a look at this thread and wanted to go back to work!
iansums Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Am watching this on TSN 4 we look absolutely lethargic no real idea what to do with the ball Try TSN3, we look a lot better.
jasonb Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Let's keep it tight this half and try and nick it. Confidence will be most welcome.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Early 2nd half no pressure pass straight to a yellow shirt! I can see why we are going long!
DrunkenSaint Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 I love the 352 formation but you just simply cant have 3 defensive type midfielders in midfield, you need a more attacking one and 2 box-box types. The whole point of 352 is you can comfortably attack knowing you have 3 defenders behind you, attacking with numbers! Yes Caulker is crap we need to get rid, he only had a England cap cause he played a few games for Spurs, he would of never had that chance if he was not at a "top club".
Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 We have signed a load of players for one style, technical neat football. Then seem to be playing hoofball. Would rather we made mistakes at least trying to keep the ball and create.
Batman Posted 23 August, 2015 Author Posted 23 August, 2015 hurrah....we forced a save good build up play
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Data (input of output) is not software. Check it out. Software Layer: DB Input - data Output - report / query result So the unique bit is the data and reporting as you say. Not the software. I'm pretty bored btw Data, reporting and front end. Everything apart from the database. So let's try this again shall we. As far as you are concerned, every Oracle, Sap, AS400 system in the world is non-bespoke, that's what you're saying? It's all the same.
tobes8 Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Absolutely no pace in the team now, we can't counter and just pumping balls into the box from pretty poor areas.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Both teams kicking the ball forward aimlessly so far! like good old league 1
Mr X Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 how can we look this bad from just losing clyne & spiderman? plus bertrand
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Wow we put six passes together and got a good cross in!
St Chalet Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 Good move there. Lots of crisp and quick passing. Final ball over hit though.
del boy Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 3 goals now and we could go above Chelsea into 8th!
BotleySaint Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 how can we look this bad from just losing clyne & spiderman? plus bertrand Two of those were quality defenders and coming forward. That would account for a lot of the change.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 how can we look this bad from just losing clyne & spiderman? plus bertrand No natural width from the full backs, so we have no support from the wide areas.
richard Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 We're passing it around ok. They're just a bit short of confidence after getting beat 3 - 0.
sfc4prem Posted 23 August, 2015 Posted 23 August, 2015 how can we look this bad from just losing clyne & spiderman? plus bertrand Us playing like this isn't down to losing those two necessarily. We're just in a **** vein of form!
