invergowrie arab Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Night and day compared to what I have seen up to now. That's good I guess. We are in deep deep shit though. Hopefully mix sees this. Sitting with fingers crossed hoping shitebags like telfer, spittal and souttar eventually come onto a game is what will relegate us.

perthsaint1977 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Worst saints have played in a while (credit to united for that ) but in the end should have been more convincing from saints what with penalty miss and mackays freekick. For all the good play united had they only carved us down the once ( the goal ). Can understand why united fans happy with today's effort and performance but by sounds of it, this was your best performance for a good while but you still lost . A worrying sign surely ? Why united fans give rankin such a hard time I will never know. Thought him and souttar were excellent driving forward. Special mention to Murray Davidson today. Simply superb performance and starting to get back to his best . Good to win when not playing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't go overboard it wasn't a great performance just better than usual. Barely kicked a ball second half and worrying we had absolutely nothing to offer to break down a well organised ain't unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perthsaint1977 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 United were decent until the final third then their lack of support of mckay was evident. Was a decent game today and quite open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So that's the worst St J have played in a while, the best Utd have played in a while and they still got beat? Utd are fucked. Indeed. We were missing our left sided midfielders (Lappin and Craig) and one of our best players this season in Cummins. We also lost Wotherspoon just after half time (he'd been limping for a good half an hour before that) and that was probably O'Halloran's poorest game of the season for us. The fact we won the game is testament to the players on the park's attitude, especially after going 1-0 down. Prior to United's goal, they were excellent. Missing a final ball at times, but certainly didn't look like a team fighting relegation. The reality is though that we won the game and had the 2 best chances other than the goals. We were missing key players and didn't play very well. Biggest positive for United was the attitude displayed by their players. Last season, even earlier this season, they would've crumpled after going behind. They didn't today, but ultimately didn't really have the quality to cut us open too many times. Can only really remember a couple of saves that Mannus had to make to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Encouraging, despite the loss. Played some excellent stuff, particularly the first half, and should have been 2-0 up before St Johnstone equalised. Tough game against a good team, and we were unfortunate not to take anything. Gunning was good, Durnan looked better, Dillon patchy. Will need to see the goals again, but from my perspective looked like Szromnik (who didn't actually have much to do) flapped a bit. Get this short goal kick nonsense to f**k, though. Continually put ourselves under unnecessary pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is done properly then I would take that over an aimless punt to nobody every single time. Problem is the decision making from the keeper and the limited ability/panicking from the defenders. Constant high balls to small midfielders/strikers is a lottery, at least if you play it out from the back you have some kind of possession to work with.

TonyFingers Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Re the pass outs from the keeper, how many times did we lose the ball from a pass out today? Compared to lumping it up to a 5ft 7" striker? Pretty sure we retained possession most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well I thought it was a half decent game. United played reasonably well in the first half, they had a few decent passages of play. Great goal from McKay after a quick one two, looked like it was going to be 1-0 at half time but somehow St Johnstone managed to score 2 in a couple of minutes when all they had mustered up before was a dangerous cross and a great free kick. Second half I thought United were pretty poor, decent battling performance but it was comfortable for St Johnstone, who I also thought were pretty poor. For United, McKay/Spittal and Dixon were really good in the first half, Rankin was also quite decent. Souttar was pretty terrible, said it before but he's a good football player, he can play these 40 yard diagonals and have a great touch every now and then, but he has zero impact on the game, pointless. Gunning solid debut. For St Johnstone I thought McKay and Anderson were fantastic, McLean was good, penalty miss aside, some good layoffs and touches. O'Halloran was very dangerous and caused problems all game. The boy running on the pitch was hilarious, the stewards and polis didn't seem to know he was there, had the freedom of Tannadice. Absolute fanny. Must've been off his tits, my money is on it being TSAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constant high balls to small midfielders/strikers is a lottery, at least if you play it out from the back you have some kind of possession to work with. St Johnstone clicked on to it pretty quickly and pressed us higher up the pitch as a result. If you've got the players to do it, fine. But we don't. Doubt even the Barcelona keeper would play a short goal kick to a centre half on his own by line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been off his tits, my money is on it being TSAC. So United fans were saying they were strolling it and totally dominant, but a neutral sees it as reasonably well and a few decent passages of play? Which is the honest answer, Perthites?. Also, odds on it was Tree House Tam, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I've EVER seen a goalie take a goal kick backwards before. And with a striker bearing down on the defender too. Bloody hell...

PauloPerth Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Engaging game but not great quality. Utd look far tougher and better organised than I've seen them for a while, if they keep battling like that I'd expect them to start getting points on the board. B Mackay is very good but so isolated, best I've seen Rankin play against us as usually I feel he's an overrated player. Souttar could be a player as he has obvious ability, but you just feel he cares more about making himself look good rather than the good of the team. He needs a real boot up the arse. Murray Davidson was a warrior today. A god. A warrior god. A god of warriors. Millar great too, especially after so few games. MOH always a threat but Christ just play the ball across.. So many times a touch too many or wants to beat the defender one more time. Such a great player to have but he should have three times the number of assists he does. Mannus and three of the defenders were excellent.. Joe so so. Great goal for Kane, and never stopped working but he needs to improve his hold up play as he lost it a lot. He was fouled often and not given but I thought he got knocked over far too easily as well and needs to work on that a bit. Maclean and Cummins are so good at it that hopefully he learns off them. Enjoyable day in Dundee as ever. Great Saints support today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
