St Marco Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Very poor first half but we looked a lot better when Tadic came on. I think our problem is we are lacking a CM who can run with the ball and get forwards. Jwp has done too little for me. Bring on someone who will get the ball forwards not backwards which he tends to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 The only forward at the club capable of scoring has got his feet up at home this evening.. Or is he in a brothel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obelisk Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Martina has been that rubbish he'll probably hit screaming winner in the last minute. Have to feel for Hesketh but he was completely by-passed and offered no pressing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris27687 Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 We've been pretty ****. Can't see them scoring now tadic is on - completely changed the game. Hopefully Hesketh was injured not just really really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 our forwards couldn't score in a brothel at the moment We left the one that can score at home.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Martina has been sheet so far. He's been shocking and to think some of the people on here reckon he's better than Cedric . He's not the only one mind . Classie & Targett shocking , long pretty average & Redmond flattered to deceive . Only OR at his best tonight , the rest need a kick up the rear end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 We left the one that can score at home. Poor performance from us here, hopefully a much better second half coming up.

Wes Tender Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 We've been poor first half, better since Tadic came on. But it's all to play for and if we come out and show more endeavour, we can win this. Højbjerg for Clasie please. Presumably our slow play could have something to do with the temperature in the stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Just to summarise you mean Pierre Yeah I think that would be the right move. It is a pity Davis is not available as think he would have done well in this type of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 BHS dominating possession and owning mid-field. Too much being asked of Romeu with lightweights Clasie and Ward-Prowse around him underlying that with the amount of games we have our midfield is not strong enough. Nothing up forward with the poor supply - Long and Redmond out of sorts; Hesketh off was the right move, and both full backs have their hands full. Only VVD, Yoshida and Romeu standing up at the moment. Despite the Leicester game we need Hojbjerg on for Clasie or Ward-Prowse. A point at the moment would be a good result.

Bewildered Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Improved when Tadic came on, but still uninspiring stuff. Long, JWP, Martina have been particularly dire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkSaint Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Puel's away strategy seems to be to play it cool first half. try to control the game, keep it tight, don't waste all our energy. then dial it up second half as the opposition tire. we've seen it work well the last few games. let's see what happens now. My money's on 1-1, Long to claim a late equalizer after they score from a set-piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 We've gone away to a team that hasn't lost at their new stadium and not looked troubled. I never thought this would be an entertaining all action goalfest TBH. We were always looking to just nick one and not lose, I reckon, while keeping our powder relatively dry for Leicester.

Pass the Dutchie Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 He's been shocking and to think some of the people on here reckon he's better than Cedric . He has shown more than Cedric so far (but not in this game). Not saying he's the better player, but Cedric needs to step it up in general to win my confidence. We'll win 3-0.

suewhistle Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Which one of you barstewards nicked Cuco's boots before he got on the plane? Jeez... He got locked out of his house on Tuesday when his power failed, so maybe that's it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Watched that first half on a poor stream. VVD should've scored, and that Clasie shot was a promising attack but a poor ending. We've been poor today but can take solace that we're still level, and that Sparta are beating Inter. Feel for Hesketh, big game too much for him. Keep him in the League Cup for now. We're losing in midfield and our passing is awful, need Hoj on before long I reckon. I've barely seen Redmond tonight, but that might be because the stream I'm watching is so out of focus. Hopefully we're better second half. Beer Sheva look organised but we can still beat them. Has Yoshida been our best player so far? Am I seeing that right?

speedlemur Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Next change has to be Højbjerg. Hope Hesketh's confidence is ok, half full St. Mary's to the middle east desert is quite a step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 I am concerned that we are not creating chances because if we resolve that issue we then have the problem that with Redmond and Long on they both need a few chances to convert. I think if we are 0-0 with 75 gone i say put on olamola for long. This has Pierre's 1st Saints goal all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkSaint Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Worth noting that while a draw is usually a poor result in the premier league (often better to gamble and go for all 3 even if it means you lose), in a small group competition a draw is much more valuable. Although you still only get 1 point, by holding the opposition also to just 1 point, you really increase chances of qualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
