BotleySaint Posted 29 April, 2017 Share Posted 29 April, 2017 Theoretically an exciting, creative attacking trio...... Theoretically. But every time we've tried it we look on the back foot I think. Just not picking up the loose balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 29 April, 2017 Share Posted 29 April, 2017 As each game goes by,it gets more depressingly lethargic,boring,uninventive. That's the football....and Puel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsmike25 Posted 29 April, 2017 Share Posted 29 April, 2017 I get the sense that we need a Shane Long, someone more direct willing to hit them on the break I dare say. Tadic, Boufal and Redmond are all slowing us down by playing "too safe" Gabidianni has had barely any balls into feet, Cedric seems too scared to cross today, and Redmond is at least defending but our shape is terrible and we don't look arsed.

verlaine1979 Posted 29 April, 2017 Share Posted 29 April, 2017 We've got four players wanting to play on the edge of the Hull box and two central midfielders playing within the width of our half of the centre circle - completely disjointed with no platform to build on (with the exception of one good run from Davis).

Player status will look disinterested and the style of play still incredibly boring. Saints 18th in Prem, Puel leaves. Meh, guess we'll see.

Pamplemousse Posted 29 April, 2017 Share Posted 29 April, 2017 Rubbish Puel was brave to name all of those attacking players but none of them have delivered at all I'd get Boufal off, put Hojbjerg on, try and regain possession in the middle and work from there.

Donatello Posted 29 April, 2017 Share Posted 29 April, 2017 *Really* poor. No way near enough control for a philosophy which advocates possession. It'd be nuts to not make any HT changes.

Thankfully, Hull haven't been much better Just to be clear, you aren't attaching any blame to Puel for picking an unbalanced side that is allowing Hull too much time on the ball? Team selection and shape is all wrong, nothing to do with the players. That's the manager's decision and IMO he's got it wrong so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of them look like they're on the beach already Puel was out of his seat for most of the half, so you can tell he isn't pleased at all. To me it's not lack of effort, we've just not got any bite in midfield to win the ball back. We saw against Bournemouth that a front three of Boufal, Redmond and Tadic means we get overrun in midfield. It's happening again today which suggests the tactics are wrong.

Saints foreva Posted 29 April, 2017 Share Posted 29 April, 2017 Marco Silva's tactics remind me of our tactics under MP. Probably helped by the fact that we've been so slow with the ball as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
