johnnypd Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Pure shite. the contrast between Southampton's quick, skilful, clever, intricate pass and move football and our dross was stark. very stark. we're not playing as a team out there one bit. whenever any player gets the ball that's it - they're on their own, because there is no team out there with them, just a bunch of individuals standing around, low on confidence and hiding from the ball.

Rich Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Possibly the most one-sided 2-0 I've ever seen. What an aimless, gutless pile of wank from us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Only saw the second half but that was laughably comfortable for a team that most predict will be battling relegation all season. Could have quite easily been six or seven. Even aside from the question of management, the number of basic errors the players are making at present is unbelievable. Players running into each other, throw-ins immediately putting teammates under pressure (there were two in particular in the second half that were truly incredible), corners taken directly to the opposition, shots spilled by the goalkeeper and so on. There's a fundamental problem here right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time he would take out Taylor instead of Williamson. And who are we gonna float our freekicks to if Williamson is there?

Pilko Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Why did Perch come on in the 90th minute? I said it earlier in the thread: Colo's back for Stoke so someone has to get injured or suspended, as it's one in, one out with our players at the moment. I bet Taylor was injured.

I think he was injured, at least he walked off though. But it'd been a good few minutes since he initially looked to grimace during a break in play. Either sub him then or let him have the final couple of minutes, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Barely watching after 65 minutes, but my thoughts (mainly from the first half): - Tiote did well first-half, risky backpass aside - Ferguson put in a good free-kick - the first I've seen in a while - with really good shape whipped in behind the Southampton defence. One of the few times their defence was meaningfully tested. Unfortunately, like many of our set-penises it ended up with them going up the other end and getting a free-kick for nothing on the edge of our box. - Ba's individualism from the off was galling to see. After 2-3 minutes, he showed it for the first time. Better pption to pass, and he tried to go for it alone. Not sure if that's a lack of faith in his teammates (which would be super-depressing so early in the match) or if those are the tactics. - Saylor, and other defenders in fairness, all seem to be adopting Danny Simpson style defending - trying to guide attackers away, rather than stand up to them and put in a challenge. Really, really bad habit - and it's costing us goals. - Crossing... we have to start getting in behind defences before we cross. We don't have the quality of delivery to be able to cross diagonally from in front of defences. - Southampton. Well done, played well - even if you were up against shit opposition. Also a shame Ferguson and Sammy will get exaggerated and undue flak from supporters because of bigger problems. They'll be wrongly hung out to dry. They weren't perfect today but "never going to make it" comments seem daft IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
