saint lard Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 Crap system.....we will get torn apart unless the players get to grips with it sharpish. Until we get more attacking option in I can't see us scoring many. Long way to go in this one....perhaps we can turn it around.

washsaint Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 Well this is truly awful.........only bright way of looking at it is that we got tore a new one first game of last season by Everton. But this is worrying and absolutely no threat. I just don't understand this formation - its too narrow and we are not moving the ball at pace. Play Austin up front and play as a real attacking unit as opposed to this useless false 9 formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Saint Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 What ever comes this season, this is troublingly poor at the moment. Especially the passing but also the tactics. A lot of players commenting on Puels methods suggesting it's going to take time to get used too also worries me. I hope I am wrong on every level, but this ain't pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 Redmond is a wide player, always has been and would do well in that position if played. awful down the middle Tadic, loads of assists when played wide. seeing him pick the ball in our own back third is poor long was an utter nightmare for defenders last season. nothing here. Austin would do very well if played centrally, we shall see when he comes on. I know we usually start bad and we did last season, but we knew koeman had to tools to turn it around. even if he was under serious threat from his job better in the last few mins but this is all very narrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Saint Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 Class from Tadic but once in 30 minutes is not enough - if we are using wide players why is Austin not playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 Is Redmond on the field? So far its what we have talked about, Watford playing good defense, letting us mess around with the ball and then countering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 get back to the tried and tested 4231 for us. tadic and redmond wide, Long/Austin down the middle. It works still think we will win this game as we have better players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washsaint Posted 13 August, 2016 Share Posted 13 August, 2016 Really, really poor. Tadic looks so threateing out wide (great run just now) but even when we get the ball in the box there are no Saints players there to attack it. Romeu has had a mare and we keep trying to p;lay everything through a really congested midfield. Not pretty and very uninspiring so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
