5string Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 I said "much faster", as I know it is possible to improve a bit, but most players have pace from a young age - I can't think of many who developed it in their twenties (admittedly Lallana did improve, but he didn't play in a way that you saw his straight line speed a lot). I hope I'm wrong, but that through ball does seem to cause him problems at the moment. And as I was reading that, he cut out a through ball. Haha. Ooh, nearly a goal - JRod looking good.
mrfahaji Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 And as I was reading that, he cut out a through ball. Haha. Ooh, nearly a goal - JRod looking good. Ha, think I know the one you mean. Although cutting them out is not his problem, is catching them when they're played in behind! J Rod should score there. Tadic looking most likely to create, as usual.
5string Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Hmm Baggoys getting mixed up in our box, thank goodness.
kermitsaint Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Midfield just not working . Davis bombs forward but you can see him panic within 20 yards of their area . Has zero vision or creative ability . Prowse is completely hopeless again . What does Koeman see that we don't? Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk

Maybe they're better when training, then don't reproduce it on match days?
Edmonton Saint Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Tadic been our best player so far.
pangy Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Highlights of the half have been J-rods header and Van Dijk's hollywood ball.....thats it zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Pastor Patrón Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Looks like we might've done it again with VVD, he looks class.
mulletsaint Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Need Mane and Romeu on at half time. We won't make any changes at half time.
jamesfp1 Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Need Mane and Romeu on at half time. Need to release Davis from his contract on this performance.
Saint Benali Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Feel sorry for Davis as he is having to do a lot on his own in the midfield. Trying to get forward and set up some attacks. JWP offering no assistance at all.
5string Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 HT 0-0 And that's the score that game deserves. Roll on the 2nd half...
Diabolus Ex Machina Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Game has an air of 0-0 about it. Missing a cutting edge which Mane normally provides so hopefully see him some time in the second half. Think Wanyama is having a good game.
Batman Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 HT 0-0 think we have been good on the ball. Certainly no hoofing it. BUT, offered little in attack, Jrod should have scored mind we seems to have a style a little like a rugby side. move up by passing it sideways/back Then again, they are defending pretty deep can see Mane and berahino in this game soon
northam soul Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 JWP took a corner, soul contribution of the half.

Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk We!!....I think he's a good player, but hey ho, let's carry on slagging our young players off, let's not give them a chance to mature, all the rest of those out there were brilliant at the age of 19.....I think not!
Wade Garrett Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Ball from VD.. the man can pick a pass Absolute quality pass.
Leicestersaint Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Dire and tepid. No creativity - Pelle might as well have stayed at home and JWP, Davis and Tadic look very ordinary
Pastor Patrón Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Rodriguez has been awful. He's been appalling in every game so far tbh. I know it's justified, having been out for so long, but it doesn't change the fact that he's been legit turd.
SaintAndy14 Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Solid but certainly not spectacular! Agree that Mane and Romeu should improve things. Wouldn't mind seeing JWP and Davis being subbed off.
Batman Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Dire and tepid. No creativity - Pelle might as well have stayed at home and JWP, Davis and Tadic look very ordinary I think tadic has been the one person who has offered a bit of quality into the box
Katalinic Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Two poor teams although we look marginally more dangerous...without looking dangerous. We always seem to try to play awkward looking short balls forward when in good positions. Don't like Davis and JWP in the same team.
saintant Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 JWP only ok against 10 men when he is given time and space.
WealdSaint Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Pulis sides don't seem to make for entertaining football

CanadaSaint Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 I don't think the Davis/Ward-Prowse duo is very effective - for me it's either/or, definitely not both. I'd be inclined to pull one of them for Romeu, whose passing has been impressive. Mané could create some havoc against a fairly ponderous back four - him on the right,Tadic on the left. But that involves a lot of changes. I really like Koeman but some of his starting line-ups have been head-scratchers.
5string Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Agree. Put Tadic on left, JRod on right then subbed off for Mane after 60' if he hasn't scored. And in support, I'd bring Romeu on for Davis. And Long on for JWP.
austsaint Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Put Mane on asap - even if he's sleep deprived he will add more than the dross of the first half. New boy (VD) looks good.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Rodriguez has been awful. Give him a bit of time he has missed 18 months!
simo Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Twice Targett has got away with blatant penalties now I wish he'd stay on his feet in our own box (I know he slipped against Chelsea)
scotty Posted 12 September, 2015 Posted 12 September, 2015 Pulis sides don't seem to make for entertaining football Remember the Stoke fans? He kept them up there, but by the time he left loads of them hated him for the pulisball (as they termed it.)
