Shroppie Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Parfait. Bonne santé.Merci. It reste à 10-0? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
mrfahaji Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Redmond doing better, actually taking players on. He’s got the pace to do it. Even though his shot was poor, that was better. However he’s still cutting inside virtually every time when there is an option to dribble or pass wide. The one time he did go outside he created a half decent opportunity. Just so predictable!
Ohio Saint Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 I know, but not a lot of people read the forum these days so well probably get away with it I have a new pair of slippers
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 4 November, 2017 Author Posted 4 November, 2017 Oh do shut up.... If you hate people saying their opinions you shouldn't be on a forum. All you do is moan moan moan. Get a life. I like opinion but like it to be balanced... and it isnt
Pamplemousse Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Similar pattern to the West Brom game. Only one team attempting to win this game.
Pamplemousse Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Cedric’s has a poor game. I can’t remember the last time he had a positive influence.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 4 November, 2017 Author Posted 4 November, 2017 Similar pattern to the West Brom game. Only one team attempting to win this game. Very true and they are as good at holding out if not better...
mrfahaji Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Redmond moves to the right, creates a chance, then we work an attack to get Bertrand to the byline and come close again. Hope Pellegrino is noting the positive developments...!
OttawaSaint Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Cedric’s has a poor game. I can’t remember the last time he had a positive influence. It seems like the general malaise has affected some more than others. Cedric and Bertrand Tadic all very poor for quite some time.
Saint Albert Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Great effort from Redmond forces a good save.
OttawaSaint Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Pat on the head for FF. That’s better command of box. Ooohh redders close.
Pamplemousse Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 We’re regularly testing the goalkeeper which is a good sign.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 4 November, 2017 Author Posted 4 November, 2017 Redmond playing much better Much more intent about out play
5string Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 FF taking charge. Good to see. More of that, please.
Batman Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 We’re regularly testing the goalkeeper which is a good sign. regularly...meaning twice? we are abysmal going forward
5string Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Haha even the ref's had enough. No stoppage time, he blew the whistle 1 second before time.
Saint Matty 76 Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Great touch and run from Redmond, realistically though he's got to be going other corner and scoring from there...
Pamplemousse Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 We're doing OK in my opinion, I'd still like us to move the ball about quicker, and get it to Boufal or Redmond faster too.
James Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 regularly...meaning twice? we are abysmal going forward To be fair, compared to recent games that can be considered regular.
OttawaSaint Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 We’re regularly testing the goalkeeper which is a good sign. Cut to a dingy basement in Govan where a crusty neck beard crosses “no shots on target” off a notepad. He runs his sausage-like fingers through his greasy mop before circling “no wins vs top 6 in 13 tries”.
Baird of the land Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 First 20 minutes were absolutely awful. Then we started to play with a greater intensity & created a couple of chances. Still by no means perfect but if we can carry on playing like that in 2nd half there's a good chance we can get the win.
obelisk Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 When Saints do manage to hit the target the 'keeper decides to have a day where nothing is going to get past him.
Suhari Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 A bit better....at least we have forced a couple of saves.
OttawaSaint Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Enjoyed (is that the right word) the last 20 or so minutes. Keep it up Saints.
doddisalegend Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Well we are the better team. Burnley are terrible so a clear 0-1 smash and grab coming in the second half. MoPe needs to run training sessions on finding Gabbi he needs the ball played into space behind the opposition defence so much earlier than he gets.
Norm Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 I spent 40 minutes looking for a stream to view the game. From the comments on BBC, seems I was lucky not finding one! 45 minutes of dross. Is that a fair description?
striker Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Something needs to change. The tactics, formations, etc, it just doesn't work with what we have. We are way, way to easy to defend. Every squad does the same thing. Pull back, let us pass it all around far away from the goal, and then make us drive in. They have no fear of crosses because we can't get on the end of them. They have no fear of us beating them 1-on-1, because Boufal is the only one who may be able to do that. We need 15 passes to get around the box to try and score. There really isn't one player who causes the defenders any problems outside of maybe Boufal and Gabbi (throw Austin in there but he's always on the bench).They just wait and then counter at the proper time for a goal or two.
shurlock Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 When Saints do manage to hit the target the 'keeper decides to have a day where nothing is going to get past him. They were relatively routine saves.
5string Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 It's an inoffensive game. Kind of pre-season friendly feel about it. Coupla shots, coupla passes, tackle here and there, stand off a bit, run down the line... oof, that'll do, cup of tea anyone?
doddisalegend Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 I spent 40 minutes looking for a stream to view the game. From the comments on BBC, seems I was lucky not finding one! 45 minutes of dross. Is that a fair description? Lots of huff and puff couple of chances not much quality. Burnley don't look interested in playing football clearly looking to steal a goal from a set piece.
Batman Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Come on, if you hit the target at most once or twice in a game you're not going to score many. We're just doubly in shock seeing us actually shoot, and seeing a keeper capable of saving things. So bored and frustrated watching us. Hugely cautious and slow yet again. Win lose or draw I just can't see anything changing under this guy. Horrible approach to football and endless changes each week. Rewarding the poor form and petulance of Tadic and Redmond with starts is just depressing. Are we really just giving up on the idea there might be a vaguely competent manager out there who isn't afraid to attack? watching the gap between gabbi and the others grow as the half went on...depressing
Saints foreva Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Boring once more. We need pace when we attack. Teams have so much time to get back into shape when we have the ball.
Pamplemousse Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 To be fair, compared to recent games that can be considered regular. Yeh, it was in comparison to most matches this season
stknowle Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 This league is becoming ****ing boring to be honest. Far too many teams just sitting back and trying not to lose. The way to break that cr@p down is pace spirit and maximum effort. We don't have enough of any of those elements.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 4 November, 2017 Author Posted 4 November, 2017 Enjoyed (is that the right word) the last 20 or so minutes. Keep it up Saints. Well we are the better team. Burnley are terrible so a clear 0-1 smash and grab coming in the second half. MoPe needs to run training sessions on finding Gabbi he needs the ball played into space behind the opposition defence so much earlier than he gets. Agree with all that, re gabbi its a bit of both, the timing of both pass and his run...
5string Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Boring once more. We need pace when we attack. Teams have so much time to get back into shape when we have the ball. Was just about to say that myself, so thank you. Successful teams seem to attack with pace from 40yds out. We get to 30yds out, then slow... stop... wait... pass... the end.
doddisalegend Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Boring once more. We need pace when we attack. Teams have so much time to get back into shape when we have the ball. It's not even about pace but about moving the ball quicker. Players want to take three of fours touches before every pass. We could have opened them up a few times just by moving the ball quicker and releasing Gabbi earlier.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 4 November, 2017 Author Posted 4 November, 2017 watching the gap between gabbi and the others grow as the half went on...depressing Garbage again, we became more attacking as the half went on and more players were getting forward
Bad Wolf Posted 4 November, 2017 Posted 4 November, 2017 Leon Crouch is there today. Very underrated figurehead in Saints' history IMO.
