Exactly but Koeman just does not get it - very worrying... Out thought by Brenda last week too .... Sorry but he needs to wake up! This Pelle thing is not working because A he doesn't coach him correctly or B he's not good enough......

Tadic and Pelle - not sure about that at all

Pelle 'drops deep' ????? Well in which millisecond in the last 6 months was that? He doesn't drop deep that's just one of his big problems. He always stands back to goal right I front/next to his marker. He is laughably predictable and easy to mark!

True - apart from Toby there is no evidence we have brought in better players. As direct replacements. Outside of the back four the rest are currently underwhelming and don't start me on Lambert's replacement who isn't half the player Lambert was or is... To be honest it the same with Tadic and Lallana ....

U Yes this team is the business....

Decent

Agree... We cannot continue with Pelle any longer...... Great teams don't play with big static target men...

Just watching two big sides in the Champions League playing and not a big tall static 'target Man' in sight. Should we embrace the modern ethos of smaller skillful quick players rather than how we currently play.....

Good post by someone who obviously watches what happens in a game in detail...

One 'Worldie' does not make season! He has been poor..... I watched the Football League Show too and there are plenty of good goslkeepers in the lower leagues. Certainly they are not that much different to Forster. In fact there are plenty of 'Worldies' every week in those leagues... Forster makes one save and certain people remember and recycle it all the time which actually says it all. We have a great well organised defence and this is making Forster look a hell of a lot better than he actually is. Three shots on target and one 'save'. It's a recurring theme.....

Come on Koeman sort it out! We have a lot of good players and a couple who really are well short at the moment. Very worrying about the coaches not seeing the issues and acting on them. Pelle has issues which I have picked on before today and in recent weeks. He is destroying our attacks and giving us no options. He has to be dropped..... We change the way he plays or DROP HIM. He can't/wont run into space, there is no room for him in this team! As for Forster - well what on earth was that 10m about... A goalie in the Cubs would save as many shots as he does ..... It's got to the point where you are surprised if he saves anything on target.... We have great defenders totally let down down by this guy.... No wonder the defence work so hard to keep it tight with him between the sticks....

Come on no need to focus in one mistake. Taggart has a very good game except for the slip for the second yet again Forster should have saved! Our problems lie with Forster and My back to goal, make no runs Pelle....! Drop Pelle and get someone in there who will make runs in behind and FACE their goal ! Pelle is lazy, predictable and doesn't attack the ball in crosses... He must be dropped !

Target was excellent !!!

There is no way that Pelle should be picked for the next match. The coaches need to take a very harsh honest look at themselves, this system constantly having Pelle with back to goal like he inists on doing is NOT working so tell him to face the goal or DROP HIM or drop the coaches - one of the two !!!!

Forster must let in 50% of the shots that are on target! A very suspect goalkeeper

Is that Lino working in a different time zone! He's about 30 seconds behind play

The ref should be investigated - blatant envelope of s brown nature going on here.....

By which logic you would afford the other two the same distinction .....

A lot of emotional clap trap. Lambert was fantastic for us, however, there is not jot of difference in the final outcome between him and AL. They both left! To compound the fact Lambert even says in his latest interview that everyone expected us to struggle.... With players and Poch leaving! Sinking ship anyone !!!!! Best to ignore them all and cheer like like we've never cheered before for our current players and team....

Rediculous idea!

Personally thought that he is quite selfish except when it comes to taking responsibility in front of goal ...

What is this 'Weaker foot' stuff???? No professional player in the Premier League should have such a thing.

It's good to hear a message from the top - let's have more of it please.. Life has changed and so has football....

Unfortunately this is very true......

There seems to be a complete obsession with playing Pelle on here... Unless the coaches seriously get at him to change the lazy, predictable way he plays with back to goal standing right in front of his marker like a statue where he offers no threat... He needs to be told to change the way he plays. He has to FACE the opponents goal and make runs dragging the defence around. Our coaches need to be analysing the players and games much more thoroughly. IF we allow this style of his to continue the least we can do is get our players around him when the ball is humped to him with the regularity it is! Fluidity is lacking with the current 'system' and Pelle is a large part of the issue.... I hope we see something a lot different against Liverpool and the coaches start working out what is happening.... If Pelle is not doing as he is told or can't then we might as well play with a smaller more mobile player there who can face the direction of play, create space and lose their marker....
