Dig Dig Posted 8 April, 2013 Share Posted 8 April, 2013 A slight tangent but...Manager talking out of his hat shocker... http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2013/04/08/3886768/mancini-manchester-united-get-easy-ride-against-scared I can think of one team that hasn't played "very soft" against Man Utd this season... Still took 6 points off us though when with a bit more belief in certain sections of both games, we could have won. I think we are an example which backs RM's point.

I think we are an example which backs RM's point. I disagree but can see how it can be interpreted in both ways. We "gave it a good go" vs Man Utd which I believe is what RM is accusing teams "all" teams of not doing. Anyway, we digress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_John Posted 8 April, 2013 Share Posted 8 April, 2013 Is Mike Dean the good one, the bad one or one of the appalling ones?? He has done 3 Saints games this season :- Manure (L 2-3), qpr (W 3-1) and the cup game Chelsea (L 1-5) where he gave that pen against us where the ball hit Davis in the middle of his chest. Last season he did the home defeat against Reading 1-3, where we played them off the park and still lost 3 goals to their 4 attempts on goal. My concern with him for this game is when he has done Hoof ball Sam games over the last couple of years they have won all 4 with very FEW BOOKINGS. Last season :- Boro (a) W 2-0 only 1 yellow for them; Cardiff (H) W3-0 only 1 yellow for them. This season :- Villa (H) W 1-0 no bookings; Newcastle (a) W 1-0 booked 2. IMO he allows a lot of their "pushing"; "jumping into" and "physical game" go unpunished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 8 April, 2013 Share Posted 8 April, 2013 Theyre defensively good in the air, so I hope we don't fall into the trap we did against QPR. They're not the quickest team, so Jrod and the fullback's pace will be invaluable. Jos should be suited to a game like this. Touch wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityRanger Posted 8 April, 2013 Share Posted 8 April, 2013 How we defend set-pieces is going to decide the game I think.

Yes, Collins did well blocking Suarez out of the game on Saturday, and so he will be confident he can do the same v Lambert or Rodrigues and block out their game. This battle could well decide the game imo. I think JayRod will be able to speed past him and Rickie needs to be at his best. And Sam's Sham team will surely hoof the ball over our midfield to try to catch us out at the back. Much depends on Spiderman and Cork's mobility too.

When I was a kid, my red-and-white Dad always loved watching west ham because they played such attractive football, I dont remember ever missing a whu game at the Dell, the one game of the season he always made sure we went to, and even when we lost he'd still say it was worth it to see the style of play. The comment I remember most from last season was a whu fan before the St Marys game, "they play some pretty stuff, but they wont be able to cope with big sam's hoofball." From a west ham fan. ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do seem a bit fixated on the 4-1 though, which isn't really an indication of where our team is at. I can't see all the 4-0 and 5-0s they are talking about, a few tongue in cheek ones but I can;t see many of us thinking we are going to smash them. They are still a nothing club though but it's mainly due to their slimy owners and fat sam and the borrible brand of football he plays, not sure how that is bitterness?. They also seem pretty fixated that they stopped Suarez so can stop us, well I'm pretty sure we've stopped Suarez twice now so we should be able to nulify the worst away scorers in the league.

It will be a test to MP too see how he breaks them down if they sit back and play balls over the top. Don't rate Wham much and think they'll struggle next season. Behind Stoke they are definitely the worst team to watch this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 9 April, 2013 Share Posted 9 April, 2013 Another less attractive tactic they used when they defeated us earlier this season was to crowd the keeper and defenders on the goal line. I was a few yards behind Saints goal and hefty Nolan (or was it Noble) kept backing comparatively diminutive and frustrated Clyne over the line during corners, effectively crowding him out of the game. I know all teams do this to an extent, but this was particularly cynical as they knew the ref couldn't even see Clyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 9 April, 2013 Share Posted 9 April, 2013 Or Andy Carroll playing like a 4 year old girl with cerebral palsy - he was probably on his feet for about 2 minutes of that game combined! This'll be the first home game i've missed this season, so not sure which way it'll go tbh. I hope we beat them, but 4pts is my goal from the WHU and Swansea games so as long as we avoid defeat i'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 9 April, 2013 Share Posted 9 April, 2013 All Fat Sam teams always crowd the keeper and used dirty tactics. Just something else that we have to deal with. Jos is going to need to have a good game and the team will have to make sure we keep the ball at every opportunity. Personally think his game could be decided on winning the second balls. We know the ball will be lumped to that fairy up top all game, but his touch is dreadful - Morgan and Cork are superb at just picking it off. Worth remembering last time we played them at their place, our team was... 31 Boruc 02 Clyne 03 Yoshida 05 Hooiveld Booked 06 Fonte 04 Schneiderlin Booked 08 S Davis (Ward-Prowse - 89' ) 20 Lallana 21 Guly 42 Puncheon (Mayuka - 65' ) 09 Rodriguez (Lambert - 65' ) Shaw will play, as will Cork and Lambert. 3 very important players for us this season. Ramirez might even start, although Lallana looked handy on Saturday and not sure Ramirez will be a able to perform in what will be a very physical game.

Fact is we didn't play badly there - were the better team in the first half. They were b*****ks. We conceded a poor goal virtually from kick off; but even then, after we got the score back to 2-1, we were the more likely to get the next goal *****il Fonte couldn't resist having a yank at the gypo's ponytail). Even the stats show we dominated possession and had more chances. Not a 4-1 game, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
