Verbal Kint Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 Just watching a half time compilation of miss after miss after miss then Villa Goal Looks even worse when all put together Exactly. Very good chances and failed to even work the keeper. Pathetic finishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchris Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 LiHT said it a few weeks now we have to do something different in attack we have been shyte up front for a while yet we keep on with the same things Pelle does not defend from the front, is not quick. moves little and when he does it is slow Mane needs to be central with him or Long has to come on for him. There is not enough tenacity, fitness and closing down. Not enough competition for places or there might be but RK doesn't choose to use other players than his favourites... The players should be in training tomorrow, run to Portsmouth and walk back .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pangy Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 I know its been said a million times before,but JWP,what is the point of him. 2nd half will see Tadic disappear,Pelle moaning and Mane doing too much and try and take on the whole defence.

verlaine1979 Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 We've had chances, but most of them feel gifted rather than created. Finishing is characteristically awful, but more depressing is the fact that we're just so f-ing dull to watch. Watched the Stoke/City game earlier, and saw Stoke play attacking football more intricate and inventive than anything we've managed all season.

Sheaf Saint Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 JWP off for Long or Juanmi for me Get mane central and actually run at them we do that alarmingly so little Please not Long. He's only even slightly effective when you give him balls over the top to run on to. When he plays against a team that defends deep, which Villa are sure to do now they have a lead to protect, he's just an empty shirt that offers nothing.

saintsmike25 Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 It happens that we hit a mid-season blip and lack confidence, worryingly it's the lack of killer edge that has disappointed me. Mane/Pelle both not on form. Tadic/Bertrand have been bright sparks, JWP has had good corners but he's far too defensive. He should be higher up the pitch with Davis, especially as we have Wanyama on. Cedric has played well and got down the line. It's simply we've played well without scoring and lost concentration.. I'd change a couple of things, I'd swap Pelle for Mane upfront and stick Long//Juanmi on, I don't think we're getting any joy from crosses and we need a quick striker like Mane to get in behind. Right now we can't get him in the game. I'd also consider swapping JWP for Clasie and have him playing a more attacking direct game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 What worries me isn't the performance or the fact JWP keeps getting into the starting line up meaning we are basically playing with 10 men. It's Koeman just looks so disinterested now, no shouting or firing players up on the sidelines. Its a far cry from how he was 4-5 games ago. As someone else said on a different thread it looks like something has gone on behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 Something just doesn't feel/look right. Players seem to be having a pop at each other a bit quickly after missed placed passes, the most lethargic defending of a corner I have ever seen. Koeman and staff barely energetic/fired up. No speed in our defending, 50/50's or even tempo in possession. As for the game plan, Lescott and Okore are happy to play against the cross-long ball, we need to be playing in between the lines and having a 10 in the game. (Would love to see Gaston there!) What do you reckon Monk? Some sort of disagreement between the board and Ron, Ron and the players or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeShmoe Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 We have become very very slow right across the pitch - so slow with the ball, no-one wants to pass forward , Wanyama and JWP have been awful Pelle is an interesting one, the long ball game with him in there reminds me a bit of SRL in his last season where his mobility cost us. I'd have Mane right up against their CBs second half as they are going to park the bus and then some Team looks like it needs new faces in it, starting with a playmaker and a wide man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeShmoe Posted 5 December, 2015 Share Posted 5 December, 2015 Oh for a fit Forster and Rodriguez. Definitely need to change things up, not sure why we think the same old thing will turn it round. Not using youth players is killing our identity a little bit. Rather Hesketh and Seager on the bench than some of the players we choose. Creativity of Juanmi and Ramirez would be good, Romeu getting more game time too. All a bit of a mess really. Or Harry Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
