tajjuk Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 He looks genuinely chuffed to be here in that video, the more I have read and seen the more positive about this I am. In that video he looks to be moving very well and still have plenty of pace, he doesn't look as stiff or bulky as Jay Rod looked after coming back from his injury to me.

Patrick Bateman Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 good to see him waltz through our CBs with ease on 7.29.. That looked amazing ... and scary, scary how pedestrian the defence is. Oh well, so long as we score more than we concede, could be a fun season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 11 August, 2018 Share Posted 11 August, 2018 A few comments from Hughes on Ings. He sounds comparatively unconcerned about the Ings’ previous injuries... https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/10/mark-hughes-southampton-danny-ings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted 11 August, 2018 Share Posted 11 August, 2018 It does indeed seem there is no contingency in the deal for any serious injuries. Suggestions otherwise is wishful thinking. Fingers crossed that he and Austin form a good partnership: taking turns with one available on the pitch while the other is in the treatment room. Two half loaves is as good as a whole one! No one other than the two clubs know for sure, so no point in endless speculation (not aimed at you in particular, rather a general comment). It is done now and in our club we need to trust and back, and hope they got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 11 August, 2018 Share Posted 11 August, 2018 Good finisher. Don’t think he’ll play with Austin though. Gabbi a better partner for both. Did Ings and Austin play together at Burnley ? Interesting though considering the options. Like you not sure about Ings/Austin combination as both would ideally want to be in the box getting on the end of things. Initial thought is that Ings/Gabbiadini might also be similar, neither a holding player or target man but again wanting to get in the box and finish. I'd be happy to see Gallagher given a chance as at least he offers something different.Can't see that happening now though following the investment in Gabbiadini and Ings.

Yeah, they did play together a bit. Austin was the standout 'central' figure in that team though, he scored shed loads that year. Ings was more of a support/sub that year, before Austin moved on and he took the central role on himself the following year and tore it up himself.

Ings nhas and can play wide left , rather than just through the middle. Bit like JRod, he maybe better through the middle but wide left is a good option that will allow him to play alongside Austin or Gabbi and maybe Long or even Sam wide right. He does give some new options that should help to get some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Agree, credit to him and Hughes for playing 2 up top. Found the space in between their 2 banks of 4/5 and has that extra bit of pace we have been missing. Was dubious at first but if he continues like that I’ll eat my words. Only early days and fitness a massive concern, let’s see how this pans out.

Neither he, Austin, Gabbi (or god forbid, Shane Long) is the right person Not necessarily. Someone with good feet and movement can hold the ball up as well as any big lump; City have just won at the Emirates with 4 attacking players no higher than 5'10. We didn't struggle to keep it in Burnley's half when Ings and Gabbi were on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordic Saint Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 An exciting debut by Danny Ings. He looked very sharp and did everything but score. He showed the ability to control the ball at speed and we've lacked someone who could do that since we sold Mane. I look forward to seeing a lot more of him this season.

We didn't struggle to keep it in Burnley's half when Ings and Gabbi were on. Yep, I've seen Gabbiadini (admittedly, when he first joined when everything he did was good) hold the ball up and link play well, but it very much depends on the style of our overall play. Short passes and quick interplay would work, but as soon as you're hitting hopeful balls up to him to 'fight' for, there's little point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
