Saint Albert Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Nyom is having a nightmare. Should be off on the second yellow.
St Marco Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 The negative ****s'll be happy I suppose. Game on I guess. You are right mate. Nothing negative about that goal. Sometimes you just got to hold your hands up and say that was a classy goal that we were helpless to prevent...
trousers Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 How is that not a second yellow for the WBA defender? Would have surely got a yellow if it was his first. Ref bottled it.
OttawaSaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Seriously how many games this season have we conceded from the oppositions first shot on target? Seems to happen every week. Dunno but we scored with our first on target in the last 2 games.
Batman Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 nyom on his last chance dangerous free kick, a couple of yards out by the corner flag, right hand side.... tadic steps up..........scrambled. saved
Ohio Saint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 My stream is behind. A bit early to get the running craps. Another half to go yet!
Batman Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 HT we are the better side, look pretty dull in attack from open play, slow in getting anyone in the box. Look dangerous from set pieces though. Boufal best player on te pitch, davis not far behind
Manuel Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 http://www.feed4u.me/watch/1847476/2/Southampton-FC-vs-West-Bromwich-Albion.html This one has been excellent so far Thanks for that, much needed. My sportsmania is pants today for some reason.
Pamplemousse Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 We've been so superior to them. We will get the win.
OttawaSaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Ffs lasted 1 minute Next time think about Terry Hurlock. I'm sure your partner understands that it can happen to anyone.
Manuel Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 How is that not a second yellow for the WBA defender? Would have surely got a yellow if it was his first. Ref bottled it. Yep, yellow every time. Totally crumbled under pressure.
washsaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 I think once McCarthy gets fit Forsters place could/should be in serious jeopardy. Not blaming him for the goal but perhaps should have got a hand to it. He just seems to have stopped making saves. Boufal was excellent but from open play we look toothless.
OttawaSaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 A bit early to get the running craps. Another half to go yet! Damn, I'm all fart and all ****.
Pamplemousse Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 I think we either need to look at replacing the goalkeeper coach or replacing Forster. Something clearly isn't right.
striker Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Puel needs to find a way to generate more chances. Formation change, player change, whatever it takes. That is his job after all.
Pamplemousse Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Puel needs to find a way to generate more chances. Formation change, player change, whatever it takes. That is his job after all. Considering how deep West Brom are defending, we've created quite a lot. Pulis won't be happy, that's for sure. They're very fortunate to be level.
Batman Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 crap defending for their goal and hate to say it, forster should have got a hand to that at least, was not right in the corner either
Chez Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Nyom is right up there amoung the worst players I've ever seen in the prem. When I saw him for Watford against us I thought someone had pulled another Ali dia.
Travelling Saint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Yosh done like a kipper, good goal from Long, Wba could be down to 10 but we really lack a cutting edge/end product. For all the play we've had we haven't created anything from open play.
Heisenberg Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 (edited) Crazy last 5 minutes. 2 shots on target all game = 2 goals We can win this, just need to commit a bit more forward when we attack Boufal decent Edited 31 December, 2016 by Heisenberg
obelisk Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 The lack of players making runs into the penalty area during open play means we're pretty static in the final 3rd. Still got a good goal from a set piece and then all they had to do was shut up shop for a couple of minutes and we'd have a half time lead. Am I alone in thinking WBA could even nick this on the break if they wanted?
badgerx16 Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Yoshi must be pleased that we seem to have a new scapegoat - all these goalkeepering experts on here ripping Fraser every match.

Donatello Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 I don't think we can be too disatisfied with the performance...it's been okay considering Brom are sitting back. Attrocious goalkeeping from Forster for their goal though. Not even that he didn't save it, but rather that he was operating in a different time zone.
jamesfp1 Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Yoshi must be pleased that we seem to have a new scapegoat - all these goalkeepering experts on here ripping Fraser every match. He's been awful for a while to be fair and completely lost all confidence since Palace, don't you agree?
Leo_ARG Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Looking better going forward. No surprise as Redmond isn't playing. Created chances against one of the best defensive teams and one who puts 10 players behind the ball. Unlucky to be tied. Still, I would like to see more of a passing game, move the ball quicker from side to side like the Spurs did with us, so it moves the defensive line of the opposition to create space. High crosses aren't effective against those huge CBs. I'm impressed with Boufal's fight for the ball and body strenght. He protects the ball well for a small player. Delighted to see Long finally score. Lovely long hug given by Tadic to him on the celebration. Everybody on the pitch knew it was a huge monkey off his back.
Batman Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 You are free to present your opinion, I am free to present mine. how about presenting an opinion on the game rather than other posters?
Pamplemousse Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Yoshi must be pleased that we seem to have a new scapegoat - all these goalkeepering experts on here ripping Fraser every match. Forster has been poor for quite some time now.

NewYorkSaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 One thing at least looks clear. 8th is a better team than 9th. Fantastic to see Long back in black. The Tadic Boufal combo so promising. I'd like to see Sims given another run out at 60 mins.
PeteCampbell Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Holjberg a shadow of what he showed earlier in the season
OttawaSaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 I think we've been decent. Looks like we are trying to get more bodies in the box for Boufal and Tadic. A little title unlucky with some of our chances. Bad goal conceded, big 2nd half coming up. Come on you Saints.
washsaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Bit more cutting edge 2nd half and we should win this. Need to get more bodies in the box from open play though. WBA very very fortunate to be level. Having seen numerous replays on NBC of their goal, Yoshi was turned too easily and Forster was way too slow to get down and did not actually stretch out - if he did he would have saved it. Seemed like he was on his heels (again) which is why he was slow to get down. We also need our full backs to offer more threat going forward.
sfc1976 Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 If he doesn't command the box and come out regularly as one would expect from a 'big' keeper, and he also cannot anticipate and get down quickly enough to stop an obvious side foot shot, then it's pretty hard to see what we're left with.
John B Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 why cant people comment when something is not up to that players own standards? Because you have no idea as your biased with an agenda.sometimes the opposition do well as the BBC suggest 'Matt Phillips levelled to cap a slick move' Matt Phillips has taken that so well it’s a moment of magic from Phillips and he’s placed it ever so brilliantly in the corner.”
alpine_saint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Next time think about Terry Hurlock. I'm sure your partner understands that it can happen to anyone. I think you should get a grip of yourself, for crying out loud. Pleased that Long has broken his long goal drought. Disgusted that we committed a schoolboy error of not concentrating from the restart and let a team of no goal threat back into the game.
bazza Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Forster had no chance with that goal. Completely exposed and Phillips had the easy task of rolling it into the corner.

austsaint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 On a lighter note, have a look at Puel's shoes today. Straight from the Koeman wardrobe.
Mr X Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Holjberg a shadow of what he showed earlier in the season cant think of too many players that puel has improved this season
badgerx16 Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 how about presenting an opinion on the game rather than other posters?Our midfield are too slow to get into the opposition area, we drop too deep instead of pressing them in the centre of the pitch. Defensively we have generally handled the usual Pulis style. I think FF is a bit short of confidence, but hasn't been as 'at fault' for several of the goals we have conceded as other posters seem to feel.
Viking Saint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Why the hell didn't Forster come out for that??
Ohio Saint Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 We will win, just not as prettily as we would like.
badgerx16 Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 cant think of too many players that puel has improved this season McQueen, Sims, Yoshida ?
mrfahaji Posted 31 December, 2016 Posted 31 December, 2016 Overall quite a few positives - it's not a surprise to me that with Tadic and Boufal on the pitch we look like creating more, and obviously Long getting a goal. We've passed the ball sideways a bit, of course, but it hasn't felt anywhere near as pedestrian as in previous games. West Brom are going to set their stall out and defend resolutely, so of course we're going to have to be a bit patient. Not getting enough men in the box comes from two sources - why don't the wingers come in on the back post? And perhaps more importantly, why don't we see the central midfielders making late runs? I think this is probably where Puel errs on the side of caution a little too much, and the players have instruction not to abandon the shape. Finally, another shot on target for the opposition and another goal. Once again there are (reasonable) claims that Forster should not be totally blamed for it, after all it was a decent shot into the corner. But surely he has to make a decent save at some point.
