austsaint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Good football! And Newcastle just dreadful. Nobody marking and they have nothing going forward either. Long is both lucky and good , you know you are in good form when a heavy touch ends up as an assist. Still, when Long shot it to row Z despite having support there was no mention but everyone gets on Pelle and Tadic too easily. They both have been good despite the bias against them. Mane hasen't done much. I think Cuco is two steps ahead of Cedric. And why is Clasie picked ahead of Romeu? Mane hasn't done much? He's played a part in both goals and set up Long and Tadic with clear goal opportunities.
Baird of the land Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 It's amazing to me that mclaren could have gone to the board with a straight face wanting creative midfielders rather than centre backs and a left back in January. Just want saints to put the game to bed with a third and get jrod a decent runout.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 9 April, 2016 Author Posted 9 April, 2016 we have to make sure Austin and Rodriguez get at least 20 mins here. JWP on too for clasie at some point Didn't see Austin warming up before game (although I didn't arrive til 2.45), nor during 1st half when Long went down & not now at half time. Injured during the early part of the warm up, maybe? Don't sit near enough to the bench to see if he's there...
Ohio Saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 I'd love to see Jay come on......But hate to see him go off again with another injury.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Benitez must be regretting his decision to go to Newcastle. Nothing he can do if the players care as little as the shower he has to work with do. Hard to judge saints performance because Newcastle are so poor. absolutely, I'm surprised he agreed to take the job. Taylor must be one of, if not the worst, players in the PL and Mbemba isn't much better. The others look as if they know they've no chance with a pair of CBs lke that. Nice football from Saints though.

It was widely known something wasn't right....£4m gamble?
Ohio Saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 We need to take the chances and score more if we can. A better GD could mean one place higher at the end of the season.

It was widely known something wasn't right....£4m gamble? Precisely - and I was lambasted last week for suggesting there are questions about Austin.
Ohio Saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Big Vic! I love short corners! COYS! I remember when they were a total waste.
Ohio Saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Forster had nothing to do until now, but either way, I'm glad he is there. He is solid.
Plastic Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Oh long off? Wtf!? And for JWP as well, I want more goals!
Plastic Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Clasie stands off Townsend and we conceded. Good goal but clasie fuçked up there
5string Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Townsend - nice goal, but shouldn't have been given the chance.
Batman Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 poor defending there. it is all he does. no chance for Forster
Dalek2003 Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 uh oh We need to score quickly to extinguish any comeback
Crab Lungs Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Only player they got that can do that. Clasie terrible in tracking and blocking AT
mrfahaji Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 What on earth is JWP (or is it Clasie?) doing? It's not the first time I've seen him do something bizarre instead of just making a tackle
igsey Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 How can you not be expecting a Townsend cut-in-and-shoot routine? Should have been stopped. Bring back the nerves.
Miltonaggro Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Need a 5-1 here now to equal WHU and MU on goal difference. COYR!
mrfahaji Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 All Townsend can do is cut in and shoot on his left. Maybe don't let him do it. It's like when Bale scored against us that time. Similar quality of player too...
Batman Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 we have completely lost Long's defending from the front. The ball is coming back a lot quicker now
5string Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 we have completely lost Long's defending from the front. The ball is coming back a lot quicker now I was just thinking we look a bit lacking up front.
igsey Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Looks like neither Martina or Cedric can close down a cross from the corner of the box.
Dalek2003 Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 we have completely lost Long's defending from the front. The ball is coming back a lot quicker now If we could get that 4th goal we could get the deckchairs out.
Plastic Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 we have completely lost Long's defending from the front. The ball is coming back a lot quicker now Yep, look to shut up shop and risk getting battered. Attack is the best form of defence and Ron's gone on the defensive.
Saints Fan Dan Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 What is it with Mane and not taking defenders on?
Saint Without a Halo Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 We are a different team when Long is off
Batman Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Rom coming on by the looks of it clasie is an absolute passesnger
5string Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Romeu getting ready to come on. Would also be a good time to bring on JayRod.
Ohio Saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 We are a different team when Long is off Since Long came off, we are missing their forced errors.
