OttawaSaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Not saints related - but United appear to have put out their best team against West Ham - that could turn into a cricket score. I guess 1-1 is technically a cricket score... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsmike25 Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 When the players are fully motivated we're a real force, I wonder whether the air miles and journeys led to lacklustre performances against the Isreali side and Prague, but this was a great selection by Puel, he's using fast players on the counter, Boufal has looked superb tonight. He won't always make the right decision but he runs and commits players and has fantastic ball control and tricks up his sleeve and he's becoming more confident too, and also working back as well. Reed has been excellent and taking his chance jumping into tackles and that has also free'd up more of Davis and Clasie who are roaming far more and it makes us look braver and more dangerous when we break, unlike our midfield three who only sit in. When defending Yoshida has been solid as has VVD tonight, Bertrand has been a force down the left and Martina seems to be doing OK, and Shane Long has been causing the Arsenal defence headaches with his off-ball movement. What may be an issue is Xhaka is starting to get Arsenal in gear and looks like he needs to be closed down early and Iwobi has caused some issues but Arsenal haven't threatened and we've looked comfortable, I said there was another goal in this for us and I think it will end up 3-1 to us as we're dangerous on the counter, I think Boufal will score a screamer his confidence is sky high.

austsaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Long is just rubbish take him off Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk The only let down of the night so far is Long - his touch is just awful. Why not Sims? McQueen looks all-at-sea in an unfamiliar role - he would be the other change. Boufal's been magical at times; Davis very good with attacking passes and runs; Harrison Reed very solid; I hope Koeman is watching Reed's game. Yoshida and VVD, Bertrand all solid and Martina hasn't let anyone down so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnery Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Brilliant.

Heisenberg Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 I had £25 on Reed being the first player down the tunnel at HT at 37-1, now £925 better off. Random but respect and congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Best half we've produced in ages. Fast and dynamic on the counter, snappy and tidy in the midfield, compact and organised in defence. Boufal has been outstanding. If we were actually playing with a centre forward who wasn't at all-the-things-wrong-with-Shane-Long level, we might've wrapped this up by now. Claude needs to find more minutes for Harry Reed, moving forward. He always looks like he belongs. Come on, chaps, bring it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallagroth Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Yeah to be fair what has been apparent so far this season and no more so than this game so far is that Long is not a very good team player, what I mean by that is he has an awful pass on him. Last season he benefitted from Pelle flicks and Manes matching his speed to set him up. When its long on his own not a shot against a defender, and when he is part of a team passing move it seems to break down with him. Love the guy but he doesnt seem to suit a passing and possession system I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Long is just terrible. He simply has no skill on the ball. Every touch is a heavy one.

suewhistle Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Well, there was some great attacking football at the end there. Long may not be having a good game but he's being a nuisance as ever with his pace alongside Boufal. The latter needs to have sleeveless shirts as they're constantly pulling at him. I'd like to see Sims alongside Boufal: in fact there's a number of new combinations that look really promising. Martina managed to get caught in no-mans-land just when I thought his positioning was looking better but he played a good part in the last attack in injury time. Please don't throw it away Saints...
