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.

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.

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!)
