UpweySaint Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 Yeah I agree with this. Lallana simply isn't captain material. I think the players and manager are the best judge of this though I do feel AL could be more vocal. Certainly a poor game from him today but hardly alone!

Barry Sanchez Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 Taking care of others following a traumatic event . . . Listen carefully Spend time with the traumatized person Offer your assistance and a listening ear even if they have not asked for help Help them with everyday tasks like cleaning, cooking, caring for children etc . . . Give them time to be alone Help them stay away from alcohol and drugs Keep in mind what they've been through Don't try to explain it away Don't tell them that they are lucky it wasn't worse Don't take their anger, other feelings or outbursts personally Exert from the clappers bible page 45.

Saint_Jonny Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 Not normally one to say 'I told you so', but the over confidence on here before the game did worry me. West Brom did a job on us today, and apart from Clyne and Morgan, all the Saints players had a mare. At 1-0 we were still in it, but the fans failed to get behind the team today, shocking support, only noise being made came from the Kingsland, North am only sing when we're winning.

Dalek2003 Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 Simon Peach (journo) tweeted that Shaw likely to be back for next game so hopefully no big re-shuffle. by the way, can you stop quoting Alps? Lots of us have him on ignore but when you quote him it still shows.

Norm, "Hmm, I would take a point, I just hope the players are'nt thinking about the summer holidays!" We were thrashed all over the park by a far better side, torn to shreds by Lukaku and Long up front and Olsson and crew tied us up in knots up front! 0-3, this should have been the score at half time, never mind 90 minutes. Sadly, one or three Saints players need to move on at the seasons end. Only players to earn their crust today?

mulletsaint Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 Really, first I've heard of it. Today's result and performance was poor. As you say we aren't safe yet a loss next week combined with positive results for others could set nerves on edge again and make things tougher in the last couple of matches. However, for people to say we're doomed is just plain rubbish. Before today we were on a run of six games unbeaten with 50% of them being wins. Hardly a situation to get on the players' and manager's back. If we can pick up 2-3 points from the next two we'll probably be OK. Two losses and I'll be glad to be away on a stag do for the last match of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 No we are not. FACT You're technically and mathematically correct. But in the real world we are safe. Given the goal difference advantage Wigan need to make up 8 points in 4 games. Not likely given their current form, and if they do you'd assume it needs 3 points against villa. Who would then need to make up 6 points in their 3 other games. Again, not exactly likely given their current form. And we'd still also need to be overtaken by Norwich, Sunderland and Newcastle. It was a very bad day, possibly the worst result of the season, but it really isn't the end of the world, just as beating the reigning league champions and european champions were great days but didnt mean we were on the cusp of world domination.

rshephard3 Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 Poor performance from a team that believed their own hype or were already on holiday. Lots of work to be done, and signings to be made. I still think we will be OK,but we need to bounce back next week. The believing their own hype is the worst part for me. Seemed the players simply expected to wander to another win and when they weren't, lost discipline and managed to get two men suspended. Really bad one this afternoon, widely unexpected too I think.

S-Clarke Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 We were absolutely horrific today, a shambolic display. The tone of the game was set in the first minute, it was pretty much over from that point. They then scored on 4 and it was goodnight. We didn't do anything all day. Fox did an impression of a fan playing football, Hooivield was skinned and pulled all over the show all afternoon. Lallana was complete crap, again. And Lambert was easily forgettable as well. Wasn't surprised to see Gaston fail to make an impact again, got a feeling we'll never see him play for us again. Reckon he'll be shipped off sharpish, he's never got going this season at all. Not sure what else to say. Worst home display of the season for me. Luckily it won't really affect us, but christ, what a depressing pile of turd that was.

Saint Charlie Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 We were poor today all over but with half the defence as liabilities and starting so poorly there was no base to work from. Hooiveld and Fox wete utterly crap and so far out of their depth its untrue. It might be stereotypical to slate them but they simply arent good enough and IMO contributed heavily to this defeat. Both are so slow at reacting to what is happening and at times Hooiveld's defending beggars belief. The first goal came from a corner after Boruc saved from Lukaku after Hooiveld just let him stroll through and actually ran away from him at one stage.

We have been playing very well of late and getting some pretty good results. But when the chips are down that is when you see the real player, the one who can keep their head and still produce.

UpweySaint Posted 27 April, 2013 Share Posted 27 April, 2013 Am I alone in thinking Ramirez actually looked decent until he was a total d**k and got himself sent off? Not going for the whole "is he/will he be good enough for us longterm debate" but he came on, found space, played a few good passes, ran at their back line a bit and I genuinely felt optimistic he might make something happen. That being said his only corner was woeful. Why he takes them I dont know! For all his lack of footballing nous Fox can hit a decent deadball.
