Saint_clark Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 £12m striker left to resort to "causing a bit of disruption". I didn't say that's all he was there for did I, I was simply pointing out why that particular facet of his game is a possible reason for us crossing from deep today. Miserable c*nts on this thread, I swear. No wonder I hardly come on here anymore.
NewYorkSaint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Exciting half. We're playing a lot of great football. Unfortunately Palace are too. I'd sub Clasie or JWP for Yoshida to strengthen our midfield. Need Tadic at some point. Mane and Long both looking dangerous, esp Mane. Great second half in prospect.
Saint Benali Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 i think we playing alright to be honest. Both keepers are having a great game. I wouldnt change anything right now.

sadoldgit Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Time to get the nuns warmed up I think Yep, no point in bringing them on with 10 minutes to go. Get them on at half time!!
badgerx16 Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 We also have a far, far worse manager than last season. Didn't he come with a reputation for dodgy second seasons ?

obelisk Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Now would be a good time for Saints to rediscover how to put the ball in that net thing. Too much wild finishing for my liking.
sadoldgit Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 7/10 This from my football app. "Its a wonderful experience for every football lover to behold this hugely entertaining encounter. The players are showing their best, making the game very attractive. The game is quite balanced."
Saint Charlie Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 [/b] Dont blame you mate...pathetic, only happy when something to slag off and moan about.. Only happy when we play to our potential, don't play weird systems and look something like the team that has earned so many plaudits the last 3 years. There are few positives at the moment - only a short time ago we had 5 England Intls and lots of players the fans had an affinity with.
Shance Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Are we going to close Bolasie down at all today? He's being given a free run!!
nta786 Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 not enough 'explosive' pace in the side, the ones who can win you games. best players in the world are all fast. we only have mane. but then i look stupid with this comment- we can never have players like aguero, sanchez therfore: key is the scouting, we need to unearth players like bolasie, vardy, mahrez etc meh.
Saint Charlie Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 What is our style these days? Very hard to determine now.
Batman Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 What is our style these days? Very hard to determine now. not far off a Pulis stoke side
BotleySaint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Back foot the entire half so far. Only one team in it.
Saint Charlie Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 not far off a Pulis stoke side Nothing like that. But not a high energy, pressing side, not a counter attack sode and not a possession based team. Usually a team that uses width well but not today.
Mr X Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 cedrics put a few good crosses in today which we've wasted
Ohio Saint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Long is embarrassing at times. Short and thick does the trick
captainchris Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Under Koeman a steady decline in the football. No closing down, players a long way apart, lack of keeping procession ( see previous point) .... Potch is streets ahead as a coach .... We rely on luck .... Little structured football ...
BotleySaint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 We do look weak today. Out of ideas. No leaders on the pitch.
nta786 Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Short and thick does the trick not about length, its about how you use it.
monosaint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 The old "Shots on Target" problem seems to be happening yet again.
Edmonton Saint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 And knowing Koeman the first change will be to bring wonderboy Ward-Prowse on.
Mr X Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Under Koeman a steady decline in the football. No closing down, players a long way apart, lack of keeping procession ( see previous point) .... Potch is streets ahead as a coach .... We rely on luck .... Little structured football ... Agreed he has lost his way this season, doesn't really seem to have a plan A let alone a plan B with tactics, but why so good last season? just cos we had better players, clyne, spiderman?
Ohio Saint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 This feels just like being a Saints fan in the 70's..........Nothing more to add than that, really
Saint Charlie Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Two years to replace Schneiderlin with someone with similar attributes (if not quality) and we did a poor job. Nobody in midfield to dictate the tempo.
JakkoUK Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Just look a team without confidence and any ideas. Just dull, very dull. Oh well can't always be like last year! Here's hoping for a point outta this!
IronCitySaint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Do you think these guys practice kicking a football during the week? By simple law of averages randomly kicking a ball should yield more on target than our team get in games recently.

Mostly good first half of last season when new signings were probably less well known to opponents. 2015 not a brilliant calendar year in some ways.
Ohio Saint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Credit to the fans at the match for still being there!
sadoldgit Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 not far off a Pulis stoke side But at least Pelle being on the bench should make you happy?
Mr X Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Does that sum up your feelings on the game or koeman?
Ohio Saint Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Jebus!! At least i was posting pics of real nuns!
sadoldgit Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 This feels just like being a Saints fan in the 70's..........Nothing more to add than that, really Better quality nuns though Ohio!
Saint_clark Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Been some fantastic football from us in this game.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 But at least Pelle being on the bench should make you happy?
Mr X Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Been some fantastic football from us in this game. are you watching a different game?
Saint_clark Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Two years to replace Schneiderlin with someone with similar attributes (if not quality) and we did a poor job. Nobody in midfield to dictate the tempo. How does anyone ever win a game of football without a player like Schneiderlin in their side!? are you watching a different game? I'd suggest you're not watching it at all, the build up there just before Romeus shot was excellent.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 12 December, 2015 Posted 12 December, 2015 Been some fantastic football from us in this game. Yep, but very few will agree, does`nt fit in
