Targett is better at defending than McQueen.

 

That's like saying "My bucket with holes in is better than my colander for holding water"

 

Against Huddersfield Targett failed to cut out one cross all afternoon he doesn't get forward particularly well either and doesn't have the pace to get up and down the line at least McQueen is useful in attack.

If you a referring to the cross that led to the goal, then suggest you think about the two attackers that Targett had to deal with because Redmond couldn't be asked to track back. A bit unfair to blame Targett for a 2 v 1 situation!!

That one and several others and he was stood right in front of the guy as he delivered the cross for the goal.

Really, out of the keeper glued to his line and the three centre halves we had not marking the only striker in the penalty area, and it's Targett's fault for not stopping the cross?

lets be honest the other mistakes don't happen if the cross doesn't come in...

 

That's not the point though he didn't stop a cross all afternoon (maybe he did better against spurs I didn't see that game) the point is people say his defending is he best asset yet he isn't a particularly good defender.

Neither did Van Dyke stop Vardy’s cross against Leicester for their fourth but hey ho let’s not get too picky eh!!

So! according to the Saintsweb experts, Forster is rubbish, Targett is rubbish, McQueen is rubbish, Yoshida is rubbish, Hoydt is slow, and rubbish, Soares can't cross, JWP is rubbish, Romeau is rubbish, Davis is slow and rubbish, Tadic is rubbish, Redmond is rubbish, Gabbiadini can't score, Long is rubbish Pied is rubbish......get the gist of this?

Kelvin Davis is also rubbish, let's not forget. So is Reed, Wilson, Watson, Jaidi, Gao, Kruger, KL.

 

Basically, there isn't anyone worth keeping at our club at any level. It's amazing we still actually have a club going by the incompetance that has reigned supreme for the last 4 years.

That's not true. All players that were sold were definitely worth keeping and we showed or small club mentality by selling them.

 

Zaha is fast but so were Rashford, Lingard and Martial. Somehow our back-up fullbacks dealt with that.

 

Palace are playing very well and perhaps we should approach this match like we have approached the matches against Arsenal, City and United. Organised defense and quick on the break instead of trying to push them back and exposing ourselves to Palaces pace in attack.

Small club mentality or small club bank account?

Oh behave no one poster believes all those players are rubbish but lots will have an opinion on several of them that's what happens on a football forum.

 

For the record I like Romeu, Yoshida (despite his occasional brain fart), McQueen, Cedric and several others on your list. If you cant handle people not having anything less than a glowing opinion of all things saints an internet forum really isn't the place for you.

Zaha works the opposing right back mainly in all the games I’ve seen lately? Saintsweb scouting network needs to up its game, get off our back up players cases and concentrate on the dodgy 1st choice players imo

 

Based on the City game it seemed like they used him as an outlet on the left flank on the break very regularly. He and Walker had an interesting game within a game throughout. That being said, the late penalty came from the right.

Don't forget the Physios. They are apparently useless as well.

Sobering reminder that one good performance against Utd doesn't disguise the difference in form between us and Palace.

 

Felt good after that game but suddenly we're in 15th, Palace on a high...Newcastle, Brighton, Bournemouth even Swansea all improving...we MUST win this - and hopefully in style.

 

The form books would say otherwise.

If things go wrong tomorrow we could end up 17th having been round about 10th for most of the season.

Anything other than a win and we are in deep trouble, looks a tricky one on paper but hopefully we will be that little bit fresher.

 

We’re leaving it late to change manager now so this game is massive when you look at our fixtures.

 

And Stoke look like they’re getting Mancini

That's not true. All players that were sold were definitely worth keeping and we showed or small club mentality by selling them. .

 

All the players that was sold was players that handed in ( But SRL ) transfer requests / Made it 100 % public that they wanted to leave / not stay at saints.

 

As we seen with vvd, keeping players unhappy is bad for the team.

 

But the logic i dont get is.. Stephens and Target was good enough against United, but not good enough against Palace. you ****ting me? against a top 6 club they do a job for us, perform good but against a bottom half club not good enough? f me some of the brains in here, no wonder i dont comment half the time.

 

Come play at Southampton fc. the fans will rip you to shreds for any mistake, demand Messi like performances from EVERYONE and any mistakes / misplaced passes means your championship quality at best HAHAHAHAHAHA...

 

Thank god none of you seen Messi misplace that pass other day against Madrid, wow you lot would be saying he is League one quality at best LOL.

 

we are meant to support the god dam team not rip it to bits every ****ing week, some of the fans we have.. should be ashamed........ If you dont like the team, go support a diff one, im sure Sfc will live with out you..........

Clearly going with pace at the back to counter their attacking threats in Zaha and Townsend, but it will give us more going forward too. A little surprised if Wes drops out as he was top draw against Utd - but who knows, he may have a knock. Not got a problem with Jack back there.
