trousers Posted 1 March, 2016 Share Posted 1 March, 2016 I thought it was very magnanimous of the players to put in their first poor performance for a long while in order to give the doom-mongers a much needed run out on the forum. It's not healthy having to keep all the negative thoughts all bottled up for so long. Quick, fill your boots before the next decent run starts.

monosaint Posted 1 March, 2016 Share Posted 1 March, 2016 What a bunch of miserable buggers on this forum. When we were going through our good run everything was rosy. We lost to Chelsea and Bournemouth, who to be fair, were up for it tonight and we all go mental. Tactics were wrong not the players. Sometimes the manager gets it wrong and in this case he did. 10 games left and another good run could be ready to start on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 1 March, 2016 Share Posted 1 March, 2016 Joke of a performance. Just annoys me how we are capable of going on a good run of form, yet equally capable of being terrible for a couple of months. The end result will be midtable; at least we can end the talk of finishing in the top 6 now to save any further disapointment.

CanadaSaint Posted 1 March, 2016 Share Posted 1 March, 2016 We were outworked all over the pitch for the full ninety minutes, which is disgusting. Our constant square passing in midfield allowed Bournemouth to settle defensively before we ever got near their box. Mané is a waste of a shirt, and the over the top (apart from Arsenal) praise of Fraser Forster during the good run seems like a distant memory. What the hell was he doing on the second? Good luck to Bournemouth - they gave us a lesson in effort, commitment and - surprisingly - attractive football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland will be right up for it on Saturday. We won't! We don't look like creating anything at the moment. I'd stick Targett or Tadic in to try and change that.

Shroppie Posted 2 March, 2016 Share Posted 2 March, 2016 (edited) I've had 24 hours to think about this one now. It was a painful experience for a 500 mile round trip. First, take nothing away from Bournemouth. They were faster to the ball, hungrier, fitter. They pressed our midfield and forced us into long balls that didn't work. But the selection was wrong. Targett/Bertrand works! Why mess about with it? Yoshida wasn't bad, but when he plays in a back three, Bertrand needs to get forward which he does less well than Targett, and leaves Yoshida exposed. And why on earth didn't Davis start? I would also have kept Austin on the bench. He wasn't too effective on Saturday and I'm not sure he was fit enough. He certainly isn't now. Pelle wasn't bad when he came on, but wherever Mane's head is, it's not Southampton. Worrying, with Austin now out and Long doubtful. Yes we were outplayed, but Mike Dean played a big part it that. Their aggressive pressing in midfield was rarely penalised despite tackles from behind. Perhaps we don't fall down enough. In contrast, we were routinely penalised for the slightest touch, for example the free kick leading to the second goal (which I accept was defended very poorly). Having seen the replay of the Fonte incident before the first goal, yes, he should have put it in Row Z, but after several viewings I think it's marginal whether it was a foul. Could even have been the other way. But Fonte wasn't the one who fell over. In true Adkins style, a firm blue line is needed. Unless we come out on Saturday with much more energy, resolve and creativity we'll have problems. Sunderland won't be a pushover.

I am not fckwit but can see that we are a better run club and have more financial clout than in the past thirty years so we should be hoping for better than we have had in the past for me the season has been a bit disappointing our Europe Adventure was poor we got thrashed when we were beaten in the League Cup and we lost in the third round of the FA Cup our League results have been generally OK away from home but not at St Mary's.

Absolutely no idea why Forster is getting criticised, he's better than he was before he got injured and the clean sheet record in no way has anything to do with him not having to make more than 2 saves in 4 of those matches.
