Lallana's Left Peg Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 While we took off Lallana who was our most attacking threat? Lallana looked leggy, lacked sharpness, and was giving the ball away. Ramirez came on and looked good. What more do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 Last week many said Ramirez changed the game for us after coming on with his pass to AL. This week poor bugger was carried off so perhaps did not have the same opportunity to complete the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 Making changes on the attacking balance of the team when being behind (as in the case of Chelsea and Everton), yes seems like a good thing to do. Changes today for Sunderland changed it a bit cause Larsson/Cattermole were abysmal, and our midfield tired in the last 20-25 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 All down to lack of options tbh. Even more so now that Gaston is gone. Absolutely. Lallana looks jaded today, so Ramirez came on and looked really good. That sub worked well. Lovren went off injured, replaced by Yoshida. That wasn't a tactical sub, that was forced upon us. Sadly we don't have a better third-choice CB than Yoshida, so what more did you want? Do you think Jos would have been better? Other than that, we had no quality on the bench. Nobody to come on and change a game. All we could do was bring on fresh legs, but the injuries and stoppage time changed the game dramatically. The problem is our thin squad. Only an attention seeking WUM would fail to realise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He continually takes off our best midfielder and totally distorts our midfield handing the initiative to the other team... MP is a good coach but poor at tactical decisions during a match..... Don't think he's the be all and end all.... His decisions have been suspect many times.... Yes his coaching is really good and we at fantastic football for long periods but then when you need to make critical decisions he is lacking .......

Is it simply down to the quality on the bench?I did think Lallana wasn't quite up to it in the second half. We need him desperatly to make things tick. Sad part was I thought Gaston looked great when he came on and maybe that's why his injury ranckles with me. Gaston could have won the game for us.

Saint Trev Posted 19 January, 2014 Share Posted 19 January, 2014 In AFL Football (Aussie Rules) you have 4 players on the bench, 3 reserves and 1 substitute. The 3 reserve players can be rotated on and off the ground as many times as the coach wants (this will be changing soon and a cap of 120 rotations per game is coming in as a rule change) The substitute player rule is the same as Soccer (Football) and usually occurs late in the 3rd quarter of the game. The main reason for the substitute in AFL is to inject FRESH legs and despite only being 1 player can have a massive impact if used correctly. What amazed me last night watching the game was we had only made 1 substitution and was only forced to substitute at the 87 minute mark. I know substitutions are more tactical in soccer but surely given the high intensity way in which Southampton play, we need to bring on fresh legs sooner.

Is it simply down to the quality on the bench? Lallana was largely anonymous and was not making any impact, therefore it was on the cards he would get subbed. The fact is the we were a striker light because of Dani's ban and there weren't too many options available. We have a very good first team squad when fit, but overall our squad players are Championship level at best. Had Gaston not suffered the injury and gone on to score the winner, would you still be complaining?
