doddisalegend Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 We've woken up shame we couldn't start the game like this..
HKsaint Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Glad to see Redmond was substituted. his shooting is so embarrassing.
LGTL Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Boufal needs to start every game now, no excuses
ally_uk Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Not being negative I'm a realist! Apart from Boufal we are pretty damm average....
Patrick Bateman Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Puel has to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Give over you dribbling c*ck
Saint Benali Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Other than boufal we have been mega ****. Whoever said we are ok with Yoshida and Stephens is a moron.
Heisenberg Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 That side we currently have out there now has to be up there with the weakest we've put out in the league since we returned to the Premier League. Yep - i took a look at the starting 11 Mopo had in 2013 after Nigel left Clyne, Morgan, Lovren, Fonte, Lambert, Davis, Jrod, Ramirez, Wanyama, Cork, Lallana, Chambers, Shaw, Boruc We have gone backwards on so many levels but the current squad quality is low, very low.
DT Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 That's a penalty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
adrian lord Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Not being negative I'm a realist! Apart from Boufal we are pretty damm average.... Because we are average, and our mid table position reflects that.
Batman Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 it is clearly tactical why we are so slow and ponderous. look at us now, completely different (when it is too late) more attackers on the pitch, boufal central and looking to play it forward first time
Manuel Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Boufal inspires the team. He should start every game.
Saints foreva Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 That's a penalty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Can't have too many complaints, Stephens clearly handled it inside the box in the first half.
angelman Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 That's a penalty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's a pen!! Is it? You seem to be a little ahead of me.
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Because we are average, and our mid table position reflects that. It's sad that some of our fans just accept this, after the last 6 years.
alpine_saint Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Yep - i took a look at the starting 11 Mopo had in 2013 after Nigel left Clyne, Morgan, Lovren, Fonte, Lambert, Davis, Jrod, Ramirez, Wanyama, Cork, Lallana, Chambers, Shaw, Boruc. You are right. Look at that line-up. Desperate times.....
5string Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Swans have packed the midfield today. Can't we, erm, go round them with our wingers? Sorry for sounding simplistic.
Crab Lungs Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 it is clearly tactical why we are so slow and ponderous. look at us now, completely different (when it is too late) more attackers on the pitch, boufal central and looking to play it forward first time Apparently, we played exactly the same under Koeman. Just need a finisher, mate.
Disco Stu Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 The problem with Saints. You just know it's not gonna go in. We all know we won't score.
Batman Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Apparently, we played exactly the same under Koeman. Just need a finisher, mate. you look how many attackers we get in the box right now and how quickly we now get it forward, taking more risk. instead of hoping to nick a goal in the first 15 mins to hold on to and aiming for 2 forwards
Greedyfly Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Boufal is our best player. By some distance. Another toothless performance. Thankful for the league cup final.
mrfahaji Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Great header just wide It was a decent header as he had to put pace on the ball as well as direction, but "great header" is overreaching, it wasn't on target and wasn't far enough back for another player to reach.
allsa001 Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Sims has also looked good since he has been on.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 This ref is ****ing ****, isn't he Not great but seen worse sadly
Crab Lungs Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 you look how many attackers we get in the box right now and how quickly we now get it forward, taking more risk. instead of hoping to nick a goal in the first 15 mins to hold on to Yup. Everyone thinks signing a striker is the problem, it's not. Chances are at a complete premium 'cos of the sh1te we play. If we moved the ball quickly and we're expansive, we could have Rain Man upfront and he'll still notch a few.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Sounds like we are going to get our weekly "we need to be more clinical" article again this week...
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Trolls are us I'll bite. Just because we have a different opinion to you, it does make us trolls. In fact I'm willing to bet that I've invested more time and £ watching the club I love over the past years and for me, it's disappointing watching us settle for mediocrity.
Crab Lungs Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Cross, cross, cross, cross, cross... Great tactic when you've only got one person in the box. tres bien
ART Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Puel has to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk And he can take LES Reed with him. Our season is panning out to one almighty C ock up.
M271 Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 We've played OK this half, pity about the lapse for their goal. Not as bad as some on here make out!
DT Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Yup. Everyone thinks signing a striker is the problem, it's not. Chances are at a complete premium 'cos of the sh1te we play. If we moved the ball quickly and we're expansive, we could have Rain Man upfront and he'll still notch a few. True. That and the formation. And no inspiration from a manager with charisma. And the players. And the tactics. And the rotation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Crab Lungs Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 We've played OK this half, pity about the lapse for their goal. Not as bad as some on here make out! Its unacceptable that it should get to that stage. Shouldn't have to be losing to have a go at winning the game. Pathetic.
badgerx16 Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Cross, cross, cross, cross, cross... KKK meeting ?
alpine_saint Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Where's the new CB ? Where's the new striker ?
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Apparently, we played exactly the same under Koeman. Just need a finisher, mate. In fairness we at times played quite defensively under RK, however we where direct and quick on the counter, getting men forward and in the box.

In fact I'm willing to bet that I've invested more time and £ watching the club I love over the past years and for me, it's disappointing watching us settle for mediocrity. Not asking for a bite just pointing out that they come out in force when things go wrong and for the record i had not included you in that the group
Crab Lungs Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 In fairness we at times played quite defensively under RK, however we where direct and quick on the counter, getting men forward and in the box. I know what you're saying but this constant 'all we need is a striker' is b0ll0cks. This is a tactical problem firstly and a personnel problem secondly... always has been.
BotleySaint Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Actually played well this half except the goal we conceded!
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 C'mon then Les. Give us something to smile about. The joy of reaching Wembley seems a very distant memory. If this is the best we can do then we're properly ****ed.
SKD Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 I know what you're saying but this constant 'all we need is a striker' is b0ll0cks. This is a tactical problem firstly and a personnel problem secondly... always has been. Agree.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 Actually played well this half except the goal we conceded! Yep...
James Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 We've played OK this half, pity about the lapse for their goal. Not as bad as some on here make out! Unfortunately "not bad" usually means no points.
