Comment | Saints V Manchester United The Verdict
at 17:57:22
Only three games into the season and with a two week gap in fixtures coming for most, tired legs should not really have been a problem. No doubt that the game result hinged on the highly questionnable substitutions.
Up until his substitution RL was giving Vidic and Ferdinand real problems - if Lambert was tired why not put Rodriguez (cant see him as a wide player) up against the two Man U centre halves - it was no contest against the diminutive Manuka in the middle up front.
Surprised like many that Puncheon was a serious candidate for Saints best player, his link up play with Lambert was a real threat until the substitutions.
After the subs Scholes was allowed to make the difference. Check this video footage out and ask why Saints didnt pput a man on Scholes or at least close him down and shut down his options.

Such a shame that so much achieved up until the substitutions was undone so dramatically. |
