Heisenberg Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 When you find yourself longing for the days when Puel was in charge, you know things are desperate. The styles look remarkable similar. Sit deep, no support for forward players. No clear style or plan and players under rather than over performing. Reed does pick em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobes8 Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 We always receive the ball facing our goal with nobody capable of spinning out of a challenge. Absolutely no service up front whatsoever. We seem a bit disjointed and unorganised all over the park. Pretty poor and we'll do well to get a point if this continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5string Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 0-0 playing badly. Well, ok, I'll take that. So lets start playing well. Didn't MP2 say it would take a few games to develop his own style?

striker Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 Tadic and Redmond were poor Gabbi is invisible because he gets no service (like all our forwards I guess) Davis is ok, as is Romeu Lemina played very well, so did Forster the CB's are still a worry I'd sub out Tadic for sure, maybe Redmond too. That Redmond miss may come back to bite us. Lets just get out with a 1-0, we'd have 7 pts out of 9 going into the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 Well at least we managed to grab 0-0 at half time. Huddersfield using a lot of energy in closing Saints down. If we can find a bit more composure 2nd half then the 3 points could well be available. Bad miss by Redmond where a goal could have settled things a bit.

Convict Colony Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 hudderfield by far the better side. redmond missed the best chance. we have no pace to break out from the high press or out pass it. Lemina is a rock. Tadic is a oxygen thief Gabbi is going to google what a football looks like as he hasn't seen it for a while So much sh*tness we cannot get worse Sorry got to add it looks like bertrand has found out he has been raising someone elses kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 Much better than midweek. Great chance carved out by davis for Redmond who needed to at least work the keeper. Glad to see us trying to go through the middle a bit more rather than the predictable one direction shifting it out wide. Really like the midfield pair of Lemina and Romeu and seeing davis freed from a role that's not his perfect fit. Bertrand looking somewhat off the pace to be honest though. Forster after making some nice interventions came for a ball he had no need to come for. Made the block to recover though Would love to see Long given at least half an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Kerplunk Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 Puel wasn't terrible but he wasn't that good either in terms of motivating the players which is what we need as the problem was and is the quality of the squad. Both managers/coaches can only work with what they have and there are very few if any academy players coming through to make a genuine (meaning more than a couple of games) impact and put pressure on the first team players. Ronald could motivate players and had a genuine game changer in Mane. We have a couple of decent players and hopefully MoPe can get the team spirit and commitment to a high level to make up for players who are decent pros but not great.

Pilchards Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 Puzzling what we are trying to achieve as a football team. So many defence passing, lack of overlapping with the wing backs plus no sharp triangular passes to carve into the Huddersfield defence. At least under Puel we played some attractive football unlike this pile of ****e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 0-0 at the half. We had the best opportunity to score via Redmond's missed shot when in alone to the keeper's right, but Huddersfield's pressing gave us all kinds of trouble and we do seem to look a little susceptible to high deliveries in the box with Mounié looking dangerous. Despite his good chance, Redmond not having a good game. I'm very encouraged by Lemina's performance in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 Could the VVD thing be effecting them? We look lifeless, devoid of ideas. It's as if we need something positive to happen. A youngster scoring, a formation tweak, a player like Boufal to start showing us what he is capable of. Tadic and Bertrand look depressed. If they are not interested they should sit.

S-Clarke Posted 26 August, 2017 Share Posted 26 August, 2017 It's been a hard watch, Huddersfield are pressing very, very hard and not giving us any time. Our close control has been horrific though, kudus to Tadic and Redmond for failing to bring the attack into play. The only thing you have to say - can Huddersfield maintain this intensity they're playing at for 90mins? They're lacking quality themselves, but they're making up with it by working their arse off. Lucky it's 0-0, let's hope we manage to regain some sort of control in the 2nd half and actually retain the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield are a fair team but we should be doing better than this. Ward-Prowse could be more effective at stopping their crosses than Redmond or Tadic. Cedric's been off the boil but he hasn't had much help from Tadic, who usually links up really well but's been off with the fairies so far today.
