Dalek2003 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Do your "sleepwalking to relegation" material, it's hilarious. Bog off you bore !
Dalek2003 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Sad to say that Pelle is not looking the part. Not holding men off, not able to stand is ground. Not doing his job. Agreed, not just a scapegoat. Pelle really does look poor.
saintsmike25 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Pelle is having a shocker, Clasie is excellent today as is Yoshida and VVD.
verlaine1979 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Pelle is really not match fit This really isn't any different to how he's played since about September.
Dalek2003 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Right Saints, let's go into HT in the lead !
Batman Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 pelle should not start the 2nd half! He shouldn't but he is Ronald's boy
Mr X Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 He shouldn't but he is Ronald's boy he needs to get match fit again for his own good
Dalek2003 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Is Long's knee ok? Good point. We will see after HT.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Pelle is short of match practise and thats why he looks awful.....yes we look poor with him in the team right now and its a gamble playing a player lacking match fitness but Austin hasnt got 90 minutes in him.
IronCitySaint Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 We look a different (much worse) team with Pelle in the team, unfortunately. Seems like all the threat is gone. Thank goodness we are a goal up. Hope for Austin second half.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 We need to change it 2nd half the game like at upton park is slowly drifting towards West Sham
striker Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Defence looks good, Yoshida played very well. Forster was great as usual. Mids played fairly well too. The forwards did nothing, especially Pelle who did less than nothing.

jasonb Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Foot of the gas or Hammers taken control? Funny sort of half that. We didn't look in too much danger but also wasteful on occasion. Conditions probably not helping either. I wish Mane was that top 4 player he thinks he is... Drive into the box mush!!!!
Jarakka Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Apart from the goal it hasn't been anything spectacular really. Weird how West Ham seem to always turn it on against all the big teams and then be so sloppy against everyone else. Robin Hoods of the Premier League.
saintant Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Take off Pelle and bring on Romeu - push Long and Mane forward.
NewYorkSaint Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 US commentators gushing over Mane. He's looked superb, esp early in the half. Clasie terrific. Forster stunning save. V happy to see Maya score. Worried that Long got hurt there. I think his achilles/ankle rather than knee. I'd consider taking off both him and Pelle for Austin and Romeu or JWP. Koeman seems to have surprised them by going for 3-4-3...
stknowle Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 I've never been a big critic of Pelle, but his poor touch and lack of movement are starting to bore me. Rather he wasn't on Agree with this. I haven't missed him, and I haven't had this feeling that we are sitting back trying to contain rather than going for it since he last played.
JoeShmoe Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 We look a different (much worse) team with Pelle in the team, unfortunately. Seems like all the threat is gone. Thank goodness we are a goal up. Hope for Austin second half. This x 100 He is a centre backs dream, no mobility. Only a threat from set pieces , get Austin on and get him and long running at their back 4 We look back to where we were last year
jamesfp1 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Tadic for Pelle at HT, followed by Austin for Long at 60'
ericofarabia Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Atmosphere sounds as Flat as A Pancake, strange.
austsaint Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 We look a different (much worse) team with Pelle in the team, unfortunately. Seems like all the threat is gone. Thank goodness we are a goal up. Hope for Austin second half. +1. Good halves from Clasie, Vic, VVD and Fonte - Mane has had some good moments but it has to be Pelle off.
captainchris Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Pelle is short of match practise and thats why he looks awful.....yes we look poor with him in the team right now and its a gamble playing a player lacking match fitness but Austin hasnt got 90 minutes in him. Yes but what is your point ? We are putting Pelle in where he doesn't fit? Why play him when our game has been playing two quick guys making runs in behind.... Hope Long is ok but even if not Pelle off Austin on and one of Mane Long off too...
saintant Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 You know they'll bring on Carroll at half time whereas we won't change anything.
SNSUN Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Pellé has been poor so far. Seemingly keeps tripping over the ball. I'd bring him off but not for Austin, for Romeu or JWP. We need a bit more solidity in midfield as I can see West Ham getting back into this. Then if Long is still feeling the effects of that earlier knock, then bring Austin on. We definitely need a second goal as I think West Ham have much more to give. I've had a sneaky flutter on West Ham to score the next goal to numb the pain of conceding, and I'd happily lose my money otherwise. Clasie and Wanyama have been very good so far. Soares had a decent half too. Mané needs to keep it simple. Overall this would be a massive win for us, but we need to play better than we did in that first half.

Plastic Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Take off Pelle and bring on Romeu - push Long and Mane forward. Yep
Saints Fan Dan Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Oh balls, that clogger Carroll is able to play, he always scores agaimnst us.
norwaysaint Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 I'd go with Tadic for Pelle, he's got a good record as a sub this season and could put in some good passes for Mane and Long.

What on earth is the logic in leaving things as they are ! Koeman does this. Has some some sort of love in going on with Pelle...
Yorkshire Saint Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Pelle and mane have swopped so mane has a chance but I only see Austin coming on for mane if he does not react ....
captainchris Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Christ Koeman we are far too short in midfield... Do something about it before it's too late....
BARCELONASAINT Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 this is going to be a long second half....badly need to change things around a bit
Colinjb Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Oh that's just nuts. Yellow? Yes, Red!? F**k off.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 We always wait to late to make any changes!
Secret Site Agent Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 We need to stop SITTING BACK and looking to DEFEND for 45 mins and start retaining the ball and ATTACKING. And bring on Austin.
saintsmike25 Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Saw that coming he was later than South West Trains on a Monday morning. Stupid stupid stupid. Take off Pelle put on Romau and just contain and break.
igsey Posted 6 February, 2016 Posted 6 February, 2016 Won't be surprised if we don't see Vic in a Saints shirt again. Looked pretty awful since half time anyway.
