5string Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 A dull half but good score so far. I'll take that. A couple more goals in the 2nd half would be nice.
Alanh Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Pleased ? Yes, pleased, also slightly surprised and relieved. Many different positive emotions.
Disco Stu Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Bertrand really has stopped giving a **** hasn't he?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 HT obviously the better side. good goal Boufal working hard, more so tracking back but wanting the ball Clasie decent Yoshida and Caraces look decent as does Pied Long our best player so far IMO in a pretty average game I thought he gets beaten in the air to regular?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Bertrand really has stopped giving a **** hasn't he? ???? What are you on about?
Plumstead_Saint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 PRetty boring half that. Pied and Caceres look ok and Shane is working hard, with a lovely assist for the goal. But there's no creativity or movement in midfield. We need 2 more goals to go 8th! , One more put us even on points, goal difference, goals scored, AND head to head with WBA, so not sure how they decide then - Alphabetic order?
OttawaSaint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 They will be fine they have Supa Marco... Greatest of all time IMO...

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 We'd be mad to let J-Rod go. He's still got something to offer. As I've said all season, I'd much rather have him and Long in the starting 11 than Redmond and Tadic.
Pamplemousse Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 It would be nice to see a bit more intensity at the start of this second half, and get the job done early. This could be any score we want, if we show a bit more willingness.
Shroppie Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Boufal ok, but still glory seeking. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
striker Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 J-Rod is gone. He's got what, 2 goals this season in the PL, and he doesn't want to be here. One goal against a relegated team doesn't change things. Long may go too but we'll see. I would actually try and keep Long, I like him as a sub and a bench player.

mrfahaji Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 There have been times where our team has looked like a second string, a few basics which haven't been crisp, but whether that's ability or rust I'm not sure. That being said, overall our team does seem able to cope with the tactics/style despite being understrengthened. It begs the question why we couldn't have rotated 1 or 2 players per game rather than the entire side. I thought Rodriguez was very poor but took his goal nicely. We have a tendency to go forwards, then backwards to where we started from, only to be under more pressure second time around. Clasie and Hojbjerg have both looked decent at times but weak at others. Clasie's main issue seems to be that second ball, he doesn't seem quick or strong enough to beat the opposition to it. Hojbjerg seems to be missing that cuteness in his play - he does well and then lacks calmness when it comes to the final pass. Caceres is calmness personified, sometimes a little too much! Pied is doing well but in our structure most full backs would, the difference is whether he can deliver a good ball. Overall not a great half, but not terrible either. We do seem to be happy with slow build up play though, so that hasn't changed.
Batman Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 he is setting the scene to say what a great job puel is doing in his post match comments. After declaring that he was wobbling on him this week #telegraphedsetpiece
washsaint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 ???? What are you on about? Sorry, but I agree....I think Bertrand has been very poor on the whole this season. Today he has been very poor.
whelk Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Another goal and identical to WBA. 8th place play off in Dubai?
the saint in winchester Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 We are coasting to an easy 2-0/3-0 win. if we can win this by 3 goals, we go above West Brom today! Come onnnnnnn....
ohgulydoprado Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 I'm a big big fan of Jordy Clasie - don't know why

Batman Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 You must be annoyed we are losing what the hell are you on about
OttawaSaint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 You must be annoyed we are losing **** is my stream that far behind?
mrfahaji Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 redmond for boufal Not surprised, Boufal didn't do a lot. Thought the game was better suited to Tadic though (is he on the bench?)
5string Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 On the other hand, nice to see Pied getting a game. Oh hang on he's injured... ... phew, up again! aha-ha.
shurlock Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 You must be annoyed we are`nt losing Nice edit pal. Quick but not quick enough
Saint Albert Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Bertrand and Redmond already linking up well together.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Nice edit pal. Quick but not quick enough .. Must type slower...
5string Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 YAAASSSSS Redmond!!!!!! 2-0. Nice play, great cross field ball, nice cut in and finish to top right corner.
OttawaSaint Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Redders!!! Good player. Reckon he'll be even better next season.
mrfahaji Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Lucky escape there. Negredo free in the box, knocked down towards de Roon, who is free, it eventually goes through to Bamford, who is also free. Three unmarked players! Nice take by Redmond, well worked overall.
Disco Stu Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 ???? What are you on about? Strolling about dragging his feet. Compare him to the start of the season. He's giving 80%.

But there's no creativity or movement in midfield. We need 2 more goals to go 8th! , One more put us even on points, goal difference, goals scored, AND head to head with WBA, so not sure how they decide then - Alphabetic order? Yes! up to 8th
Lighthouse Posted 13 May, 2017 Author Posted 13 May, 2017 Come on lads, one more goal puts us 8th and conclusively proves for ever that Puel is as good as Pochettino.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 Strolling about dragging his feet. Comapre him to the start of the season. He's giving 80%. Your opinion i guess, but not mine
nta786 Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 game over 2nd good goal of the game lovely finish 2-0 is a dangerous lead...
Charlie Wayman Posted 13 May, 2017 Posted 13 May, 2017 What are Blackmore & Merrington meaning about? All the time, moan, moan, moan...
