Saint Garrett Posted 11 July, 2018 Share Posted 11 July, 2018 We're all well aware our defence as it is is largely sh!t....add Vestergaard & Marlon in and you'd hope we're a lot stronger in that position... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 11 July, 2018 Share Posted 11 July, 2018 Terrible defending again. Romeu beaten easily at the backpost, then Hoedt and Stephens go for the same ball and make a hash of the clearance which drops to the unmarked attacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 11 July, 2018 Share Posted 11 July, 2018 Their first goal shows, in a nutshell, why Stephens is a liability at centre back. No positional discipline at all. Goes wandering off doing nothing and leaving a massive gap. Maybe Hoedt could have spotted it quicker but you can't spend 90 minutes covering someone else's ineptitude.

Saint Martini Posted 11 July, 2018 Share Posted 11 July, 2018 Some clown on here was still trying to say Stephens is as good as Maguire, yesterday He is a very poor CB and amazed we have persisted with him for as long as we have Agree, why does he even try to head it into play. Just head it behind. Hoedt was very passive for the first, went towards Boakye who was already being marked by Bertrand. He isn't very good at being the central player in a back-three. He steps out of position too often leaving gigantic holes in behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjurwi Posted 11 July, 2018 Share Posted 11 July, 2018 Armstrong looks good, Gabbiadini okay, Redmond sloppy and Lemina doesn't look intressed at all. Romeu, Stephens and Hoedt not good enough. Targett and JWP to slow to play wingbacks. McCarthy couldn't do anything about the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge gap there for the simplest of through balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenTheSaints Posted 11 July, 2018 Share Posted 11 July, 2018 Thought this stream was so much better than the one for last week’s game, but our defence still seems to be lagging and freezing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 11 July, 2018 Share Posted 11 July, 2018 Thoughts so far after watching the full game. (1) Armstrong is going to be a good player for us (2) Need Vestergaard and Marlon at the back (3) Give Gabby a chance and he will score. (4) Austin is going downhill fast (5) Gallagher is a good option off the bench (6) Beginning to think Stephens is a major weak link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes wandering off doing nothing and leaving a massive gap. Maybe Hoedt could have spotted it quicker but you can't spend 90 minutes covering someone else's ineptitude. Said it before but I totally agree. Stephens is the wink link in our back 4/5, a really poor defender at the level we want to be at. Cant read the game, poor positionally, poor in the air and weak in the tackle. I really do want him to do well but he's just never going to be good enough.

I said he was a clown, which in fairness he is, probably another infraction for that. Lanky gangly and slow, exactly what we don't need. But i could be wrong, might adapt very quick. Only thing he has over Stephens and Hoedt, he can out jump them both standing. Not a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
