badgerx16 Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Yes Cedric can **** off too. Apart from that I think we have played well. Lots of creativity today. How much of it has come down the right with Cedric combining with Tadic ?
James Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 We look brilliant, such a good passing side, this is how football should be played! Commentator just came I think, our build up play is fantastic. We just need to put it in the net. I'm going 2-0 saints. Shame that being easy on the eye doesn't win games, goals do and this team doesn't have any in it.

striker Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 I actually think Redmond looks pretty good away from the goal with the ball. I like him better than Tadic as a #10, or play them both. But as a striker no. My preference is the Long/Austin upfront tandem. They complement each other well.
DuncanRG Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Forster Martina Fonte Virgil Bertrand Højbjerg Romeu Redmond Davis Tadic Austin That does look nice, doesn't it. Oh well!
Suhari Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Watching via a decent Modbro stream. We're looking good. Redmond was too greedy when he should've squared it; and missed a sitter. Lots of positives. We'll win this.
maxi_sopez Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Very good first half. But with Redmond and Long we have two absolute terrible finishers up front. Desperately need Austin on.
jampot Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 looking good, finishing will come.. mom so far Davis by a country mile...
Batman Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 good news, we are currently 17th. about right for us so far
Saint Without a Halo Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Tell that to Klopp's Dortmund team of a few years ago. Tell them what! I actually posed a question!
Saint Without a Halo Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 good news, we are currently 17th. about right for us so far Where is Dalek when you want him he has spent years predicting 17th
CWD Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Still not convinced by the diamond. Just don't think it plays to anyone's strengths. ----Hojberg --- Romeu ----- Redmond - Boufal - Tadic ---------- Austin ---------- Instantly looks so much more creative and exciting.
Monk Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Redmond is a 10 or a winger not a striker. Go with Forster Cedric - Fonte - VVD - Bert Hoj-Romeu-Tadic -Redmond/Davis Long Austin
Crab Lungs Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Redmond is toilet. That was a crap 1st half. We really, really don't look very good.
farawaysaint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Where is all this negativity coming from? We've looked great.
Batman Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Where is all this negativity coming from? We've looked great. why are we playing a 1 goal in 11 winger up front it is beyond bizarre. he was in and out of a relegated, crap side last season. He is now our number 1 striker. poor lad
Mr Saints Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Where is all this negativity coming from? We've looked great. Probably because whenever we get into the opposition's box we look like a league 2 side.
Dark Munster Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Redmond isn't gash. Apart from his (woeful) finishing he's played very well. Tadic should play where he's best ... on the left side not the right. VVD and the rest of the defense have played well. Davis very good, Romeu too. Has Clasie touched the ball (apart from giving it away)? Cedric crossing count: Good 0 Crap 3
the_emu Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 More positives than negatives but halftime substitute required - someone on for Batman please!
BotleySaint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Missed the first half. Based on comments it looks like Austin is needed again. Unfortunately if Jay is injured (assumed as not in team?) that leaves us with 1 player who can actually score goals until Boufal is fit.

James Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 why are we playing a 1 goal in 11 winger up front it is beyond bizarre. he was in and out of a relegated, crap side last season. He is now our number 1 striker. poor lad Exactly it. Should never have been put in this position. You can't persevere with stupid experiments like this in the Premier League.
warsash saint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Some comical comments in here. We've actually played pretty well. Some really nice passing and possession based football and we've carved them open a few times. We just need someone, anyone to put their shooting boots on. Redmond has played well minus that hilarious miss. HOW dare you speak sense .... you are not wanted on here !!
Leo_ARG Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Tadic head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch. Davis also having a good day. Roumeu is back to his last year's good form. Clasie not doing much as usual. Doesen't get the ball back, doesen't get forward... Give Reed a chance, Claude! We are not playing a diamond anymore, Tadic is playing on the right. The shape is very asymmetric right now. But it is what's creating chances, from that position Tadic can see the whole pitch and is showing he is a world class player. It'll be very interesting to see what happens with a fit Boufal.
SaffaSaint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 HT. really hate this formation. Redmond is not a striker and continue to play him as such is part of the reason why we are in and out of the bottom 3 Get Austin and Hoj on ffs. Davis been good though. Clasie invisible as usual Thought classie has been pretty good. Better than davis for me Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09 using Tapatalk
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 FFS - That was onside. Bad call from the Lino.
verlaine1979 Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Tell them what! I actually posed a question! The predicate of your question was false. You can press successfully for a whole season. Klopp's Dortmund are the most recent proof. League wins and European finals, always playing the same way.
iansums Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Lots of chances now, does this have 0-1 written all over it?
alpine_saint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Got a bad feeling we are going to get another visitor goal in the 80+ minutes. Only hope this inspires Reed and Puel to change something.
BotleySaint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Got a bad feeling we are going to get another visitor goal in the 80+ minutes. Yes, has 1-0 Swansea written all over it. Tongue in cheek remark but would be typical that despite our dominance we've yet to score!
Batman Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Hoj and Austin coming on thank god for that
saint1977 Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Some reasons to be cheerful. Fonte, VVD and Bertrand look solid. Romeu having a decent game. Tadic lively and we are creating opportunities. Hopefully we will see Austin on for Redmond at half time. I'd agree with that bar Redmond coming off, he's played ok but he plays on the wing. In fact, that's what the Northam should be singing 'Nathan Redmond, he plays on the wing' to remind Les Reed's puppet of what his proper position is. Not a lot wrong with how we are playing but would be at last season's level if the manager had stood up to Les Reed in the media about the clearly obvious need about buying a striker.
iansums Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Got a bad feeling we are going to get another visitor goal in the 80+ minutes. Only hope this inspires Reed and Puel to change something. What can Reed change at this point in the season?
Plastic Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Lol, Austin almost scores with his first touch
Suhari Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Double substitution on 52 minutes. Not afraid to make changes is Claude.
James Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Wouldn't have taken Long off. Redmond proving to be undroppable in league games.
Viking Saint Posted 18 September, 2016 Posted 18 September, 2016 Hoj and Austin coming on thank god for that Clasie off, even better......
