well, we had our usual very good 10-15 mins at the start of the game

 

so slow and ponderous in attack. SO MANY backwards passes

and now we are losing

 

shambles as an attacking force

Need someone who can actually put the ball in the back of the net, too many games being lost to not taking our chances.

So predictable after our wasted chances.

 

Watch them play an 8-1-1 formation for the rest of the match now, like Stoke did when they took the lead, because we have proven time and time again we can't score against teams that defend deep and in numbers.

said it a few weeks now

we have to do something different in attack

we have been shyte up front for a while yet we keep on with the same things

 

Pelle does not defend from the front, is not quick. moves little and when he does it is slow

Mane needs to be central with him or Long has to come on for him.

I'll say it then. Ramirez could have opened them up.

 

agree. But this is where juanmi must play a part. otherwise, what was the point

 

just so slow in attack and so many sideways/backwards passes

Atrocious finishing from Saints culminating in a comical conceding of a goal from virtually villa's only attack.

Also hate how bad we are when we don't have the ball. Zero pressing or pressure on the ball.

When we've got the ball too often we head backwards, very few individuals with composure to take the ball and move with it.

I think he should get more opportunities, but nobody can say we have had problems creating today. 5 or 6 absolute sitters missed. Can't afford to miss so many chances

Ward-Prowse needs a season in the Conference. If he can do something there, give him a chance at League 2 level for a season. He needs to earn his way up the leagues. How he continues to play in the Prem is outrageous, shocking and quite incredible.

How Juanmi doesn't get a few games is beyond me.

 

JWP off for Long or Juanmi for me

Get mane central and actually run at them

 

we do that alarmingly so little

We'll struggle to a shirt 1--1 draw

 

As I pointed out to another long-suffering saints fan, I reckoned this as a 1-1 draw with us scoring a late equaliser. Given that his chosen scoreline of a 2-0 win has now gone out the window, my pint is safe.

Something just doesn't feel/look right.

Players seem to be having a pop at each other a bit quickly after missed placed passes, the most lethargic defending of a corner I have ever seen.

Koeman and staff barely energetic/fired up.

 

No speed in our defending, 50/50's or even tempo in possession.

 

As for the game plan, Lescott and Okore are happy to play against the cross-long ball, we need to be playing in between the lines and having a 10 in the game. (Would love to see Gaston there!)
