mrfahaji Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 I accept the reasons why some people don't rate Boufal and/or don't want him back, but does anyone think that he is worse than Elyounoussi? Incredible that he is our Tadic replacement, and for twice the price.
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Made 1 bad mistake but otherwise yes.Rubbish, he's done nothing at all except play it out wide to the full back. In fairness to him he's not a sitting midfielder - as that shot on goal just now shows. Should be playing behind the strikers. Sent from my SM-J600FN using Tapatalk
Ohio Saint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Well it is the panto season Oh no it's not!!
miserableoldgit Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 He hasn`t been mentioned, but Slattery is very composed apparently....Anyone know how Mo Is doing?
egg Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Who would you rather have playing? Mo or Sims? Neither are good enough. Mo being shi'ite doesn't suddenly make Sims good enough.
DT Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Getting outmuscled in midefield. Jwp the latest culprit. When will he join a gym ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sheaf Saint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Neither are good enough. Mo being shi'ite doesn't suddenly make Sims good enough. True, but if you absolutely had to choose one of the two then it's a no-brainer.
OttawaSaint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Silly there from JWP. Trying to flick it back, could have been costly.
egg Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 True, but if you absolutely had to choose one of the two then it's a no-brainer. But we don't so it's a pointless question.
Cabbage_Face Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Need to get either JWP or Slattery off half time, JWP is a wimp.
DT Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Might need to get Romeu on here to replace Mo? All a bit lacklustre Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ohio Saint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Neither are good enough. Mo being shi'ite doesn't suddenly make Sims good enough. Frankly, I'm starting to fancy my OWN chances!

SaintMB Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 If this match is going to help guide the Jan shopping list, we need lots of new players. Some awful performances.
OttawaSaint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Frankly, I'm starting to fancy my OWN chances! Me too. Had a stormer in indoor last night.
Cabbage_Face Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 True, but if you absolutely had to choose one of the two then it's a no-brainer. I'd rather hedge my bets on a Norway International over someone who can't play for a championship side fighting to stay up. But I might be wrong. Oh sorry, Sims came through the academy so must be Messi.
Ohio Saint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 what an awful game Was it? I ended up buying a new monitor online.....Maybe my interest was just AWOL I hope the second half is better. I might end up with a Russian bride.
DT Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Austin deep in conversation there with Cedric, advising him how to play football or something Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
saintwbu Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 JWP best player on the pitch at the moment. Slattery tidy but could’ve been very costly with that poor control. Vestegaard (who i’m normally a fan of) can’t control his feet today, awful. Moi is trying and not shying away from the ball, first touch normally good but second touch normally awful, very weird. Not much else of note!
hackedoff Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Productive first half,a lead and the manager gets a further incite into how poor some of his senior players are.
obelisk Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Ball retention is pretty awful to be honest. Not sure how Stephens managed to miss what was basically an open goal either.
verlaine1979 Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Vestergaard and Elyooussi both mouth-droppingly awful that half. £34m spent on players who seem to lack even basic technique.
Cabbage_Face Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 I like it when Vestergaard swings his leg, you can feel the air move down in Southampton.
Batman Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 no lack of effort from Mo. Just not quick enough
Pamplemousse Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Terrible game of football. Derby fans are gobby ****s, nothing changes there.
stknowle Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Rubbish, he's done nothing at all except play it out wide to the full back.

Sent from my SM-J600FN using Tapatalk He's looked perfectly fine for a young player making his debut. 1 bad mistake aside.
Disco Stu Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 We've been pretty bad but luckily we haven't had to leave 1st gear.
Bewildered Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Can't accuse them of over exerting themselves. No real desire to go for a second.
DT Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 He's looked perfectly fine for a young player making his debut. 1 bad mistake aside. Agreed. Thought that mistake was Mo, so used to it I’ve become Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cabbage_Face Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 I'd get Slattery or JWP off for Rom. Moi off for anyone Long, sell him at half time to Derby u10's
madge Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Moi Elyounoussianonymous Its been pretty poor around really.
Baird of the land Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Started well then soaked up pressure, then should have got second. Gunn very composed again. Cedric ok, nothing special. Targett terrible defensively, looks ok going forward. Both center backs have had one dicey moment each. Otherwise ok. Though Stephens should have scored at other end. Jwp excellent. Slaterry fairly composed apart from one bad error. Redmond excellent. Mo poor Long typicallly making nuisance of himself while looking unlikely to ever score Austin, game passed him by
nta786 Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 didn't do homework with Mo clearly, just don't see any physical or technical ability for that level. Tadic may not have been rapid but he had quick feet with a football intelligence to match. With Elyounoussi it feels like he panics and doesn't know what to do with it, nor is he quick- he needs time on the ball but you just don't get that here.
whelk Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 What do people expect? Two disjointed teams with changes and ultimately two clubs with more important matters than cup progression this season. Yeah as Vest takes wild swing and slices he must be thinking well the FA Cup isn’t all that. That’ll be the reason.
OttawaSaint Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Haven’t seen a replay of the Stephens miss. I was out of my seat celebrating, can’t believe it didn’t go in. Anybody get a clear view of what happened?
Cabbage_Face Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Just put a Insurance bet on David Nugent to score a brace. 24/1
Useful Idiot Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Austin is rubbish at playing football. He seems to be having a competition with Long to see who is worse on the ball.
Baird of the land Posted 5 January, 2019 Posted 5 January, 2019 Haven’t seen a replay of the Stephens miss. I was out of my seat celebrating, can’t believe it didn’t go in. Anybody get a clear view of what happened? Came through defender’s legs and seemed to glance off Stephens back leg rather than make a clean contact. Ps that was a beautiful goal by redmond
