Suhari Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Ings completely uninvolved so far. Attack very one dimensional as a result. Frustrating. He's really not bringing anything to the team today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Romeu falls over to present Barnes with a chance. Fortunately he’s not Jack Stephens so that’s all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Kent Saint Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Not really noticed Ings so far. I said that last season and he was then featured on MotD as the key player in our goal/attacks with his link play for the same match I just watched at StMarys !!!!

Batman Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Been decent 1st half at times. When get the ball down to play, we look decent....burnley have done well to turn parts of the game into a hoof-fest. Ings very disappointing. Stephens recovered well after a near howler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Their defence is solid and conditions are favouring Burnley's crap football but if we keep playing we'll create chances especially if we get at their fullbacks who are both crap to be honest.

Saint_clark Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 We have a very average team. Got to hope we keep boufal and djenepo comes good. And so it begins!! Another day JWP, Adams and Redmond would have buried their chances and we'd be creaming ourselves. Finishing isn't as clinical as it could be but the performance has been good so far.

shurlock Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 The better side without really creating much. The odd flourish from Redmond apart, not much quality on display from either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Defended well as a unit, but need to do more in attack. Adams winning none of the long balls, Ings anonymous and Redmond hasn't seen enough of the ball, which is a shame as when he did he worked the goalkeeper, who I can't remember doing a lot else. At least we've got a few attacking options on the bench, which seems weird saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing isn't as clinical as it could be but the performance has been good so far.Nothing "begins" it's an opinion based on what I've seen on the pitch. People get so sensitive but that was an underwhelming half of football. I'm optimistic that the x factor from the likes of boufal and djenepo will be a big help this season but I'm not going to pretend that was a decent half of football just to keep people like you happy.

verlaine1979 Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 We'd be winning if the object of the game was to get the ball wide to your fullbacks, but not a great deal happening after that point. Hopefully RH has seen enough to tweak the team and the advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 0-0 h/t. Been quite tidy without doing anything too special, but we all know how these games against cloggers go for Saints: we'll play all the football and lose 1-0 to a scrappy set piece or massive defensive brainwave. It'd be nice if Danny Ings contributed something of note, but maybe that's asking too much of £20m worth of knackered body parts.

St Marco Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Not sure we need 5 defenders tbh. Might be worth putting someone else in midfield and trying to keep the ball a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 Same issue as the last few seasons. Nice and tidy until we get to the point that a final killer pass is needed and we **** it up. Is this just what we get from 10-15M players? Can we expect them to do a Sterling, Silva, TAA or Robertson. Can we expect them to do it once in a while?

SNSUN Posted 10 August, 2019 Share Posted 10 August, 2019 The speed and directness of Djenepo, Boufal, Redmond, Obafemi, Adams, Long and even Bertrand, Valery and Cedric should make a few teams crap their pants this season.
