Pamplemousse Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 We’ve played well in my opinion, but there is only one team trying to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotleySaint Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Solid half adapting to the new system. Players need to work out who is going to go wide when required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintSeb Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 I'm starting to believe that Tony Pulis actually hates football, and his sole purpose in life is to bring misery to those who dare pay to go and watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obelisk Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 A bit of composure in front of goal and Saints would already be comfortable. Just need something to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Durman Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Wind against second half. How many times has Bertrand played back? How many good forward runs get ignored. Shane Long you must at least hit the target. Dominant but nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Marginal improvement over the last few home games WBA playing as expected so we are getting a lot of the ball but not getting through them much. Having said that Long has to ****ing score that chance and Romeu managed to miss when it looked easier to score couple of other half chances to. If one of those goes in WBA have come forward more and,we might get more joy. Sadly the longer it goes 0-0 the more chance we will get done by the usual sucker punch.

SaintMB Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Not bad so far. WBA are so negative, it’s like an Uber Puel team. Shooting towards me in the second half so I hope we’re saving the goals for then. It mus be better, there wasn’t any booing at half time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfp1 Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Why do Tadic, Bertrand and Cedric have to beat the full back 4 times before crossing the ball. Is it a superstitious thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Trousers, does this have a score written all over it?3-0 to Saints... At the game. Decent enough first half from us. Should be 1 or 2 up. WBA have come for a 0-0 draw. Foster time wasting from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Not working, for me. We haven't got any width and are trying to play through the packed middle with non-creative players like Davis and Romeu, and looking for cute flicks and one-twos with the technical atrocity that is Shane Long. And STILL, in spite of all the pre-match talk of needing to play faster, we're at walking pace. WBA are one set-piece from nicking a 1-0.

Heisenberg Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Better much better. Perhaps the hangover from last season is easing and this is Pellegrinos style starting to come through? Still has the feeling of a sucker punch WBA goal.... Probably Jay Rod or Forster error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 I've lost count of the amount of times I've screamed "JUST SHOOT, TADIC" over the last three years. Yes, he dithers when he has a chance to shoot. Overall a good half by Saints without the goal the play deserved against a bus parking opposition. Bertrand's been good today; Gabbiadini's movement and touch very good; midfield doing well and we are very solid at the back. Baggies have had one touch inside the area!!!! Long looks poor again; I'd have Boufal on for Long earlier than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris27687 Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 What a joke WBA are - not even trying to play football. Lemina has been great - we are really missing some width, It really feels like we have no one on the right side of the pitch. If this continues we should win.

mrfahaji Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 The reason we are “overplaying” is because we are playing everyone centrally, so while we are having a lot of the ball, there’s not much space and no wide option if they mark the full backs properly. There does seem a bit more effort to play forward passes though, better than last week but as others have said, West Brom are letting us have it. Not dissimilar to the Swansea game. Which finished 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjuk Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 To be fair against a very negative West Brom we've actually looked better, moving the ball more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysaint Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 I've not watched a game live for a while due to work commitments but if this is an improvement I shudder at want went before.

5string Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Krychowiak falls over more than a game of Jenga! Does he move by sail power or something? Keeps capsizing.
