Southampton Post-Match Thread.

At least Nick Powell came on and showed us he's not going to be the person he's expected to be anymore.

I thought that was pretty obvious last week when his shot went out for a throw in.

Tough for a young player coming in to this though.

The championship standard defence is the biggest problem. Pearson knows we're not good enough at the back, and feels we have to play defensively to try and give them cover. It's not as simple as being more positive if the whole team has no confidence in whats behind them.

So if that is the case, wasn`t it his job in the summer to bring in defenders who were going to be good enough.

Pearson just needs to start thinking about us and our strengths, and stop worrying about whatever team we are playing.

Have we gone into any game this season with the same positive intent as we did last season, i don`t believe we have.

Nothing wrong with his corners at all. Almost all of them today were into a good area with whip

 

Can you hear now or do I need to type it in capitals?

 

You're entitled to your opinion... But no. We are one of the worst at set-pieces in this league.

I actually thought we weren't that bad today, when it came to shape/discipline/work rate...the set-up is just way too negative. We've got a 0% win/draw ratio when we've set up to 'not concede' this season. Maybe we should change this and...

 

 

 

...'have a go'?

Like the one that landed on Morgans head on the penalty spot then, or the several that were into the same area and Southampton players headed them clear.

 

lol Penalty spot is not a great corner mate, it's hard to score a header from 12 yards (hence why I said it was a bit too far out) you want it in between the pen spot and the six yard box ideally, first rule of football set pieces.

 

several? I can remember him clearing everyone once and out-swinging one into a completely undangerous area, and we only had four, so you must be seeing things

Still reckon Cambi is the answer?

I thought it was a decent performance from us, we looked competitive for the majority of the game and created 2 clear cut chances that we should have bagged (Morgan's header and Wood's...whatever that was).

 

Longs finish was tastey, lovely bending effort to be fair to him. I thought Schlupp at left back was a good idea, it was good to have that extra outlet that Konchesky doesn't offer.

 

I'd rather we played 2 actual wingers and just have them squeeze in more central when we're defending as we don't have many many outlets for the players when they're on the ball.

People dont understand just how difficult this league is says Nigel. Hmmm.

What a lying ****, he said he thought we would suprise the league ie be better then people thought. Now he saying different

Sorry Mrs Pearson but hes picking shit teams and needs to sort it out or do one. Has Mahrez had yur daughter lately?

I'm with Mrs Pearson right now, she didn't post it

We have failed to score a single goal in 4 games...and 5 out of the past 6. Pearson has lost the plot. I think he's a good manager but clearly out of his depth with an inadequate squad for the premier league...very very depressing times. Was happier in the Championship where we not only scored goals but won matches!! Carry on like this and I may get my wish!!

Havent read the thread but the diamond had to go. They had so much space out wide, it was ridiculous.

No mahrez again, he is the only one that looks like unlocking a defence yet cant get in the squad. Starting to get abit worried.

One positive, as much as we put down our atmosphere. Atleast we'll never be as shit as them lot.

performances, below the required standard

 

manager, aware of this

 

fans, pathetic for thinking getting rid of pearson is the way to go at this stage

 

im sorry but the thing that depresses me more than our results at the moment is reading and hearing the comments of fans loving how they can have a moan and feel like they are more knowledgeable than pearson. quick reminder for you YOU'RE NOT.

 

and if you are, please post on here the in depth analysis of sunderland ready for the next game, as well as the capabilities of our own squad. explain your attitudes to each player & what you would tell each and every one of them regarding their performances so far, what you expect of them and how they can improve their chances of playing. this way when we lose (not mine but the 'pearson out' brigades attitude) you can compare how correct you are. 

 

i dont think thats too much to ask from people clearly more qualified than pearson. is it?

Too many of our players aren't good enough for this level. The only mistake Nigel made was placing faith in the players that got promoted to step up and be good enough for this level. He needs to get rid of some of the dross not good enough for the Premier League and bring in a few more players with quality in the January transfer window.

 

Nugent/Wood/Hammond/Konchesky all not good enough for this level. 

none of the players above played today except wood as sub,

todays eleven looked feckin worse, im gonna break the eleventh commandment,

alloa and vardy are not good enough.

Posted

Tap up Pul is because he'd be only option right now...unlikely he'd want to go to Villa as they have 0.00 cash to spend

 

Get Pulis in because our current manager is too negative, that makes sense.

It is really, I'm not paid to spend that much time explaining to some no mark on Foxes Talk the ins and outs of every single player in our squad.

 

If it's taken Pearson up until now to realise playing negatively isn't working, then he is less knowledgeable than about 80% of this forum. The other 20% are retards. It was clear before we started doing it, it was staring everyone in the face after the Newcastle game, and if anyone can't see it now they need to take up a different sport to watch/make their career in.

then stop claiming you know it all mate. its not unreasonable for this no mark to want proof of how youre tactically superior to the guy who works with the players day in day out. because youre letting your heart rule your head. knee jerk reactions. the kind of person that would be considered a joke if you were a chairman. when the next guy loses his 1st few games then what? sack him or accept he needs time before being relegated with a less qualified manager than nige ready for the championship

 

youre clueless if you think getting rid of the guy whos built this squad over years in favour of pulis or any other manager will be the best option

 

saints who are flying this year and tearing apart teams who arent solid defensively. im curious as to why youd prefer being spanked 8-0 like sunderland trying to attack a bit more instead of try and get a point (or more) in a similar fashion to our game against stoke.
