Norwegian Saint:- I wonder if our tactics fail against the lower teams because they play more direct. Cause our team to be turned from high positions. Against Liverpool we faced a side that often overplay from the back and as a result get closed down and make mistakes. In similar situations west ham were clearing their lines.
I agree with comment that pitch was right to bring Lambo off. If only he'd done something like that against west ham it would have changed the attacking phase of our game.
The biggest worry I have tactically is the lack of urgency to change what isn't working. I was watching the West Ham game (albeit on TV) with 5 other saints fans and we all thought Lambert for Gaston on 60 minutes. There was a big gap in that attacking CM area that he would have done well in. Lallana was reasonably productive and looks fit, he should never have been brought off.
It will take balls to drop Lambert but there has to be a phasing out of Lambert and a phasing in of Dani at some stage. Lambert still has a big part to play but Dani is the future and a more complete player.
I'd be interested to know what any of you think about the thoughts we had re Gaston for Lambert to change the game.
I was walking with my six year old son on Brittania Road. We both had Sash shirt on and were enjoying the start of the walk home. A Millwall 'fan' was stood by the away coaches shouting abuse at Southampton Supporters walking away from the ground and spitting at a man and his young daughter in front of me. Had that 'fan' been on his own he would have been sorted out but there were loads of Millwall and it was very intimidating. I didn't get spat at but c'mon a bloke and a young girl! I say to that Millwall fan 'if you read this I'm sure you're proud; takes some balls to spit at a six year old girl!'
