Saint Charlie Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Anything to give him stick.... You don't think it was a poor touch?
captainchris Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 DM says we are lacking movement up front!!! Long is making runs Pelle non existent with odd fancy flick to no one.... No change there.... DM we are better with Mane and Long ! Come on Koeman, what is it with you and Pelle???
Saint Charlie Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Cedric needs to come on at HT Koeman said he wanted a more attacking player there but IMO Cedric makes more attacking runs than Davis has. I would shift Davis to where JWP has been and put Cedric on for JWP. Probably also Mane shortly after HT. There is a win available with a little more attacking quality.
Ohio Saint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Boxy and strong, our lad Clasie. A terrier. A bit like WGS as a player
Foxy Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Boxy and strong, our lad Clasie. Like an old Volvo?
Ajv2809 Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 I had no choice but to sit with the home fans, I'm about 25 metres from our fans. I've barely heard us make a noise. Not impressed.
adrian lord Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Like an old Volvo? but faster and not driven by dozy pensioners

SuperSAINT Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Good news is we have some serious attacking options on the bench.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Pelle is now just wandering around Took your time, jump up on the band wagon
Ohio Saint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Like an old Volvo? Are we allowed to mention lady parts here?
Batman Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Took your time, jump up on the band wagon I'm driving the bus ffs
mulletsaint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Pelle is now just wandering around Do you bother watching the rest of the team?
adrian lord Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 I had no choice but to sit with the home fans, I'm about 25 metres from our fans. I've barely heard us make a noise. Not impressed. We have spotted you and are about to point you out en masse to the Swansea fans
austsaint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Koeman said he wanted a more attacking player there but IMO Cedric makes more attacking runs than Davis has. I would shift Davis to where JWP has been and put Cedric on for JWP. Probably also Mane shortly after HT. There is a win available with a little more attacking quality. I think you've nailed it.
Batman Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Do you bother watching the rest of the team? Yeah. We have little movement up top centrally again. Long is working the channels wel, but Pelle is so slow and does not work their defenders anywhere near enough Their keeper has barely a save to make as yet
Sheaf Saint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 I find it amazing that Koeman cannot see how much poorer our attacking play is with Pelle on the pitch. I don't think JWP has done much wrong. He's put in a decent defensive shift and got forward to support the attackers on the rare occasions we have had some possession in their half. Davis is wasted at RWB though. I can't see why you would choose to put him there ahead of Cedric who has been very good in that role recently.
adrian lord Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Swansea dreadful finishing and attack in general
austsaint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Clasie has been quiet today; Davis out of position; Ward-Prowse anonymous all of which has put pressure on Romeu.
Sheaf Saint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 What a chance. Long has to do better there. Has to.
Saint Benali Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Think the commentator summed it up well. Need a bit of creativity in the middle, jwp not done enough. Need to be less predictable.
benjii Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Disgusting attacking display. Absolutely rank. Not sure what Koeman is thinking with this selection. Pelle is a complete waste of a shirt and Davis is not a wing-back; he can't tackle, he can't win 50/50s and he can't go on the over/under lap. Get Pelle off and get Mane on. Get Cedric on for Davis or Romeu (yellow card!).
Batman Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Long has to do better. Free header 10 yards out
Roger Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Dreadful by long. Absolutely shocking not to score that.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Straight at keeper.. And if that had been Pelle....the forum would have blown up
Ohio Saint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 What a chance. Long has to do better there. Has to. As the tater just said. "He knows, he doesnt need telling"
Batman Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 HT. Get someone off for Cedric and get Pelle off for Austin or mane No chance on the latter, sadly
Saint_clark Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Disgusting attacking display. Absolutely rank. Not sure what Koeman is thinking with this selection. Pelle is a complete waste of a shirt and Davis is not a wing-back; he can't tackle, he can't win 50/50s and he can't go on the over/under lap. Get Pelle off and get Mane on. Get Cedric on for Davis or Romeu (yellow card!). Davis has been fine ffs. Pelle i agree with though, he doesn't suit us anymore.
Roger Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Long can run around all day but that is a terrible finish.
badgerx16 Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Straight at keeper.. And if that had been Pelle....the forum would have blown up Nobody seems to have mentioned the £12million......
adrian lord Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Poor match but it is there for the taking. I will not be happy with less than 3 points today
Saint86 Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Pretty ****e so far it has to be said. I don't want to knock pelle because he has done a good job for us... but he should not be in our starting 11 (certainly not on this form)... He is pedestrian, slows down all our play and gives the ball away time and time again... Replace him with Mane or Tadic second half and we'll create so many chances against what is a very below average swansea side.
Shance Posted 13 February, 2016 Author Posted 13 February, 2016 We need to get Mane and Cedric on the pitch. As poor as Mane has been he at the very least unsettles defenders. Davis needs to be switched back into the middle and get Austin on for Pelle who has done nothing.
mrfahaji Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 I've seen Pelle ambling about but he has also had some good touches. Started poorly but hasn't been atrocious. I'm all for keeping possession but when we have a chance to push on, it's bloody frustrating when it goes back and back and eventually back to Forster who lumps it forward and we lose it anyway...
VectisSaint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Pelle is a complete waste of a shirt and Davis is not a wing-back; he can't tackle, he can't win 50/50s and he can't go on the over/under lap. He can however deliver a cross that should have been buried by Long [he can also do all of the things that you claim he can't, but agree he is not best suited to the position]
Saint Charlie Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 HT Summary: 1. We have been very comfortable but poor in attack. 2. Davis RWB doesn't work and Swansea only have one striker so do we even need 3 CBs? 3. If Pelle plays then surely you supply him from wide areas. Davis and Targett have barely got forward. 4. JWP doesnt do enough as an advanced midfielder. Davis far superior in that role and in this game could even play Mane there. 5. We really should win this with a little more attacking quality.
gammoncheeks Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Cedric needs to come on at HT Don't understand why he never started. Davis should be in the hole that's his best position . Bring mane and Austin on surely we should be going for it Swansea are poor.
austsaint Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Poor match but it is there for the taking. I will not be happy with less than 3 points today It is there for the taking; but not with the present formation, Tadic for JWP and Mane for Pelle.
adrian lord Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 I m sure Ron plans to go at them 2nd half and make some changes after 55-60 mins to press it home
Baird of the land Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Davis has been fine ffs. Pelle i agree with though, he doesn't suit us anymore. Yeah Davis sent in that delicious cross that Long should have scored from I still not sure i see him as a natural wingback but he's putting in a shift for us. Pelle, he's been largely anonymous with a couple of decent touches but given how much long is winning aerially what we need is another outlet for the quick counter, which is Mane.
Leo_ARG Posted 13 February, 2016 Posted 13 February, 2016 Swansea's strongest weakness are the fullbacks yet we are not attacking them. That's what happens when you field 5 central midfielders. Tadic or Mane would eat them alive, even if they are not in good form. Koeman showed too much respect IMHO. Targett isn't attacking enough, and Davis isn't a RWB. I wouldn't be surprised if Koeman one day decides to play him as a goalie.
