Highlights on SAFC.com

I know they are just the highlights but I believe they are a true reflection of the actual game (more so than Match of the Day), how we lost that match I will never know, we should have been out of sight.

Altidore didn't have 3 chances in them hightlights LOL unlucky music boy.

 

Music Boy?

I never said Altidore had three chances. Aside from that we should take heart from the performance.

 

I left that comment for Marcusblackcat to read pal. I do take heart from the performance but we was rubbish in the final third again.

 

It is difficult to break a team down that camps out with ten men behind the ball but I agree with you to a certain extent, we should be good enough to do it, I'm sure any of the top six teams would.

Oh.............does that mean we are pals.

 

We should be breaking teams like Fulham down like & if we don't sign anybody else then we be fighting to stay up again.

 

I hope your wrong, but if heads go down with our next seven home games I think you could be right. That's why we have got to get behind the team especially at the SOL.

 

I always get behind the team but the final third is still worring me. hope we sign a class CM.

 

That's what we need, a quarterback type like Gerrard playing deep and picking passes.

 

One highlight of their chances, and it's a goal.. absolutely disgusting to loose a game like this!

 

One highlight of their chance because that's the only attempt they had the entire game.

 

I'm sorry, please forgive me!

But yeah, can't believe we lost that game.. now I know how other teams felt like playing us in the last couple of seasons.

 

& he needs to score some ****ing goals to.

 

it's also the other aspect of gereards play we need from our new cccm - bursting runs into the box to finish off a move...and deadly accuracy with shots from outside the box.

 

...but as for the post thread. i don't know how we lost that game. we look so good going forward. a bit more guile and we'd have smashed them

 

To a certain extent we defended at corners a lot better last season than the one we conceded against Fulham. Two things stuck out for me,
(a) Westwood was struggling to get anywhere near the ball as there were attacking players standing in front of him. Which is normal practice these days.
(b)More important as far as i am concerned was the fact that no one took up a position on the far post, and had they done so, would have in my view
would have prevented the goal. To sum it up in a nut shell, rank bad defending. Lets hope they learn from it.

 

Don't agree mate, for the most part of last season we zonal marked, its only when PDC came that we marked men.

It was a mistake by Roberge who otherwise had a good game and we will live with it, all games are decided by mistakes.

I do agree that we need someone on the post.
