Danbert Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Redmond's a gobby little ****, isn't he. That's twice he's had a go now.
Manuel Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Defence = dodgy Yep, Bednarek, Pied and Targett all making errors.
Pamplemousse Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Some of clueless fans on twitter blaming Forster...
Saint_Ash Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 We look pretty ropey out there, usually like target but he looks like a league 2 player at the mo, errors and poor passes galore. Let's hope we can get it together a bit.
Katalinic Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Not saying he cold have done anything about that one but Forster gets beaten an awful lot from outside the box
Wimborne_saint Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Yep, Bednarek, Pied and Targett all making errors. Think Bednarek has looked good so far personally
Batman Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 what was that, another lost header in our own box will be the sign of the times this season
Suhari Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Jwp Like that he's getting into the box. He has to develop some finishing skills though! Ooppps. That's 0-2
Saints foreva Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Yet to see this pressing that Pellegrino likes to play.
vectraman Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Yep, Bednarek, Pied and Targett all making errors. Thankfully our 2nd and 3rd choice defenders....for a reason. They're not good enough to be first choice
Pamplemousse Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Yet to see this pressing that Pellegrino likes to play. It's all Puel's fault. That's what the trolls will say no doubt
Wimborne_saint Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 lets all have a meltdown over a pre season friendly shall we.. First goal was a terrific strike, forster had no chance with that one. Second was a good header, maybe austin could have done more but wasn't shocking defending by any stretch.
Batman Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 arent the germans behind us in terms of pre-season preps too?
saintsmike25 Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 We are very very sloppy tonight - would rather this type of performance in pre-season. First goal we didn't close down the shot, second one we didn't clear the lines and had a lapse in concerntration. However, some positives are Targett looks much better as does JWP in terms of getting forward and gambling. Redmond looks off the pace, and Holberg is really letting the game pass him by. Shane Long isn't a winger, Austin looks like he slows us down and struggling against a well drilled defence. Game needs Boufal, Tadic and Gab.
Pamplemousse Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 arent the germans behind us in terms of pre-season preps too? Apparently most of them were on the beers at the cricket the other day too!
Monk Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Yet to see this pressing that Pellegrino likes to play. and when we have pressed its been one player, a bloody CM! no traps set either..
captainchris Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 We look pretty ropey out there, usually like target but he looks like a league 2 player at the mo, errors and poor passes galore. Let's hope we can get it together a bit. Too right... So what is this method we are playing. The movement and support for the player on the ball is at a minus level! What does that do? It gives the player on the ball no one to pass to.....which leads to? Errors..... When a player receives the ball there is no one anywhere near him. Such basic stuff and one wonders what all this training has been about....
saint lard Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 I was hoping 'slow,ponderous,lack of imagination,impotent' would have all left with Puel. We need an injection of imagination in the second half.....oh and some defensive qualities wouldn't go amiss either. Really hope we get some incomings to the excitement back.

Batman Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 the result means little. The performance means loads awful on that front so far
Shroppie Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 We are awful defensively. Trying to press in midfield and put in tackles when they should be standing off. Wide open to through balls and being carved open at will. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Saint Fan CaM Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 This is dire...no invention...the Southampton way?! It'll be the way to the Championship if it carries on like this. Midfield looking decidedly league 1.
BotleySaint Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 We look better coming forwards. No doubt about that to me. But defensively just as weak as last year. But then we've still not "replaced" VVD, assuming he leaves.
Pamplemousse Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Let's be honest though, this isn't going to be our defence for Swansea. Only Yoshida will probably start, Pied maybe depending on Cedric's fitness
SuperSAINT Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 This is dire...no invention...the Southampton way?! It'll be the way to the Championship if it carries on like this. Midfield looking decidedly league 1. At least we are on the front foot with new signings this summer. Oh.
Batman Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 dreadful. Can see why arry thinks we will be fighting to stay up hopefully, MP will change it around like he did the other day one thing looks likely, Sevilla will hand our arses to us on a plate
saintsmike25 Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 You get bad performances in league games and friendlies, let's not overreact. I think it's needed to see where the weaknesses are and what needs improving. In fairness the game has been very even but we didn't take our chances and got punished for it. It's a poor performance in terms of movement and silly mistakes. But by no means should it mean a meltdown on here.
Jonnyboy Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 what was that, another lost header in our own box will be the sign of the times this season You were saying all that guff at half time in the last match.
Oldeuboi Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 This thread is an absolute disgrace. Hit the woodwork twice, had the lion's share of chances and conceded 2 fantastic goals. Hardly worthy of this ridiculous meltdown. Pathetic.
Appy Posted 2 August, 2017 Posted 2 August, 2017 Not one of those defenders should be starting for us next Saturday, the way it's going they all will.
