MarkSFC Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Boufal ended up not being particularly creative! Where as Tadic is our 2nd biggest PL assist maker behind Le Tissier. "Not particularly"....needs defining if you believe that's valid. It's very likely we would of gone down without him. Sometimes you need to accept you made an error my friend.

Matthew Le God Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 That's not writing anyone off and you know it. It is by implication writing them off, as it is saying the replacements leave us weaker than last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 "Not particularly"....needs defining if you believe that's valid. His lack of assists, chances created and goals highlights a lack of positive input. He still clearly is a talented player but in terms of productivity, Saints didn't benefit much from his creativity.

egg Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Boufal ended up not being particularly creative! Where as Tadic is our 2nd biggest PL assist maker behind Le Tissier. Boufal by his absence was ineffective. Tadic was very creative and underappreciated by many. He'll be a miss and the new boys have big shoes to fill.

eelpie Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 What about this...? I wasn't and am not writing Saints off. Merely stating a reality. Much depends on the squad recapturing the end of season spirit that kept us up, and work clearly needs to be done during training. Someone has to step up to creating the assists for our strikers that Tadic created last season. We have the talent in the squad to do this.

MLG fukked up with omitting Boufal from his 'maths' and is now trying to squirm out of it by ranking their 'creative' ability. If he didn't spend most of his time correcting others for misdemeanours and minor transgressions then he would be cut some slack. We've lost two 'creative' players, we've gained two 'creative' players. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 We can't be stronger than last season without Tadic. Tadic was a waste of space for the last two seasons bar the last 5-6 games. IIRC he was one of PLs biggest missers of expected goals last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpin4rizeal Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Say what you want about boufal but he was at least a option we now do not have, is better to have him and Redmond as options then just Redmond. Also not quite sure why people think two creative players in place of tadic and boufal.Armstrong is primarily a box to box central midfielder whilst boufal and tadic were attacking wingers/number tens don't think they are the same type of players.

End of. basically. and tbh i don't see armstrong as that creative wide player in the same vein as boufal and tadic. i see armstrong more as a replacement for an ageing Steven Davis.

Nordic Saint Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Boufal by his absence was ineffective. Tadic was very creative and underappreciated by many. He'll be a miss and the new boys have big shoes to fill. A lot of pundits would have picked Tadfic out as our most creative player last season, as they often did before our televized games. Unfortunately, he was surrounded by a lot of dross. The same excuse is also trundled out by posters on here for Gabbiadini's lack of goals and assists last season. Tadic has 2 goals and 1 assist in his 3 Champions League games so far this season. Before we sold all our best players, Tadic had other good players around him so obviously he got more goals and assists. Football is a team game. Neverthless, Tadic still got 7 goals and 4 assits for us last season. He got 9 goals and 14 assists in 2015/16 because he had good players, like Mané, Pellè, Fonte, van Dijk and Wanyama, around him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesfp1 Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Last season lots of people on here seem to be of the opinion we had a decent squad poorly managed. We brought in a new manager that most people seemed happy with a few weeks ago. We've brought in four new players to bolster the squad and made sure Forster never sees first team action again and now people think we are more likely to be relegated than last season?When soneone asks "what is SaintsWeb?"...

alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Well it started with so much promise but it's another very underwhelming window for us imo. 5 transfer windows on and we will still have massive Pelle/Mane sized gaps in our starting 11.

larry12 Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Not too disappointed, showed some fight against a strong side. Think we're a better side without Austin in the starting line up. JWP played well, as did Ings and Bertrand. Defensive lapses especially at set pieces are a worry. But again we started badly, and Hughes needs to work on the players focus.

shurlock Posted 21 August, 2018 Share Posted 21 August, 2018 (edited) MLG has always had an odd hostility towards Yoshida. This is the same poster whose otherwise sycophantic defense of anything club-related has led him to adopt some batshît mental positions. Who can forget his claim that JWP grew several inches one summer based on a dodgy photo angle and this new found physicality meant he was on the verge of superstardom (a player MLG has been desperately championing now for 6-7 years). Even well-known critics of Yoshida like Appy concede that the player is currently better than our other CB options. They’re rational and update their views in light of new information and facts. Not our MLG. Edited 21 August, 2018 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it fits your narrative if you think I said those things, so you've convinced yourself I did. Plus, I have not been particularly critical of Yoshida in recent seasons, he has improved a lot since he first arrived.
