Verbal Kint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 That is a myth ...You have been reading to much Batman No it's not. Long's finishing is poor (which is why we should never have spent 12 million on him) but his all round game is miles better than Pelle (who is also a crap finisher). Long has played very well again apart from his finishing. We know what we're going to get from him, and it's a damn sight more than Pelle How has it taken us this long to realise Bertrand's corners are brilliant?!
Sheaf Saint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Same old same old from Saints. Better possession, better passing in the attacking third and the clearer chances so far, but no goals to show for it. We can only hope that the boys can muster up a better second half performance than we have been used to this season or it will be more dropped points today.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 0 shots on target for Norwich, you just know the first will go in. Oh go on, be positive
Saint Benali Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Think Classie, Cuco and Tadic are doing well. VVD and Long not so good. And JWP is just total ****. Drag his ass off at HT and put Mane on. Or Reed. Or just take him off and play with 10 men.
badgerx16 Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 great ball by martina Well played Martina.... ...... Martina playing well. I think Cuco is having a good game Martina done well. Surely not, most of the week since the WHU game he's been sh!te according to many on here.
jasonb Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 I think we've been decent up until the penalty area. We've looked the more threatening with their only chances coming from our sloppy play at the back. A single piece of quality will win this most likely. I'd like to see us go for it and bring Mane on. Not sure who I would take off tho.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 I Think we need to get the ball out wide quickly and stretch the game. Mane on for JWP would help.
Batman Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Surely not, most of the week since the WHU game he's been sh!te according to many on here. because he was shyte in that game playing well today with little up against him so people say he is playing well what is wrong is saying how it is
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 No it's not. Long's finishing is poor (which is why we should never have spent 12 million on him) but his all round game is miles better than Pelle (who is also a crap finisher). Long has played very well again apart from his finishing. We know what we're going to get from him, and it's a damn sight more than Pelle Just dont agree, but there is nothing wrong with Long either... Such a crap finisher, he is our top scorer...
Leo_ARG Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Martina saved two goals. Cedric would have never in the world tracked their striker as he did. Also had some wonderfull key passes too. You have to wonder why he was ignored so much. And what would happen if players like Juanmi would have been given a start or two, to build their confidence. Fonte and Virgil owe Cuco a dinner. Also JWP really not needed for this game, we are lacking one wide midfielder. JWP, Davis, Wanyama, Clasie...all central midfielders, too many.
Bewildered Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Not looked much of a threat, but Long should have put us 1-0 up.
simo Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Surely not, most of the week since the WHU game he's been sh!te according to many on here. Last time I checked up on here he had the worst 1st 2nd and 3rd touch in football!

Roger Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Ward prowse again is offering absolutely nothing.
captainchris Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 That is a myth ...You have been reading to much Batman When was the last time Pelle made a run in behind a defence or out wide? Or won a header or even missed a chance? He's not good for our team and creates very little.
Verbal Kint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Just dont agree, but there is nothing wrong with Long either... Such a crap finisher, he is our top scorer... With 7.... Wow what a goal scorer. Converting chances is the biggest problem in the team and has been all season. We lack goal scorers all over the pitch, which is why when we do click we can hand out some hammerings (Arsenal could have been more than 4, 8 v s'land, 6 v Villa)
Batman Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 When was the last time Pelle made a run in behind a defence or out wide? Or won a header or even missed a chance? He's not good for our team and creates very little. he is good when the ball is inch perfect for him to finish 99% of the time with the very odd great game like chelsea away
Saints foreva Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 With 7.... Wow what a goal scorer. Converting chances is the biggest problem in the team and has been all season. We lack goal scorers all over the pitch, which is why when we do click we can hand out some hammerings (Arsenal could have been more than 4, 8 v s'land, 6 v Villa) Not just this season but the second half of last season as well.
badgerx16 Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 because he was shyte in that game playing well today with little up against him so people say he is playing well what is wrong is saying how it is Presumably, other than his goal, he was just a passenger in the team that kept a clean sheet against Arsenal. A lot of people wrote him off after West Ham as one of our worst signings, and at the head of the queue for offloading in the summer.

Chalkboy Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 With Cuco I don't think it helped that our purchase of him was seen as a bit of a joke by Dutch fans, so there is a negative perception of him from the start. So far today he's been alright. Yes he may have been sh*t against West Ham, but not many covered themselves in glory that second half. I'm not saying he's great, but he's having a go.
Batman Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 wanyama puts the ball out again under zero pressure horrendous ball by JWP
Shroppie Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Sky just summed it up as not very good Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
captainchris Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Perhaps you should watch more games... Will put it in BOLD LARGE FONT for you.....TOP SCORER Seriously take a look at how many games he has played compared to Long goals to games ratio if you want to put statistics in capitals.... The team are poor in most instances with Pelle playing. With him in the team we are going nowhere ...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Another 5mins and it's got to be Mane for Tadic or JWP.
Shroppie Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Boruc just saved penalty. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Ohio Saint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Saints starting to play like they do in the first half of games
BotleySaint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 A blow to fantasy league managers around the globe. Mahrez missed penalty.
Batman Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 we are well on top now, get mane on ffs terrible play from wanyama
Plastic Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Wanyama may as well go now, he's doing nothing for us.
Ohio Saint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 West Brom winning. Skates also winning. They are catching up with us ffs!!!
UpweySaint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Wanayama caught in possession again, honestly starting to think I wouldn't mind losing him if we can find a replacement.
jasonb Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Have to agree. Wanyama jogging about when giving the ball away again!!
washsaint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Wanyama is awful - he lifted his game against Arsenal but other than that he has been very poor this season
austsaint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Wanayama caught in possession again, honestly starting to think I wouldn't mind losing him if we can find a replacement. He is contributing much more than JWP, wouldn't you agree?
verlaine1979 Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Pass, pass, pass, cross, clearing header. Repeat.
Batman Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 stunned how mane has not made it on the pitch yet
Edmonton Saint Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Jesus Tadic. How long do you need ? Shoot ffs
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Tadic the latest to avoid shooting
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 January, 2016 Posted 2 January, 2016 Great chance for Tadic. He never really believed.
