saintsmike25 Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 Okay our biggest problem is our flanks, JWP not helping Valery out, but fortunately now we're a man up. Secondly Danso isn't a LB, he is playing pretty poorly on that side. But it's his first game for us and i'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt. JWP not adding anything to our midfield, i'd rather have Armstrong on for him. Our pattern of play is far too slow, Ings and Adams are making constant spinning in behind runs but we're too slow to play the pass. Ings is doing okay, he's chasing down lost causes etc, Adams simply hasn't been involved and should be subbed. This sort of game suits Obafemi - we need to be breaking quicker and getting in behind when possible, not slowing down the pace constantly. Probably one of our worst collective performances, we don't look interested that's my issue with it today. Like it's a summer stroll in the park not a local south coast derby.

Wade Garrett Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 Brighton doing a decent job pressing. We have to have wide men playing on the lines to open up space and wear them down. At the moment we are slow, ponderous and predictable. Think JWP should make way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 Really is a shambles this afternoon.

OttawaSaint Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 Can I just check - is Danso playing left back or is it Valery? And who is at right wing back? Is it Valery or Wrd-Prowse? BBC feed suggests that Valery is left wing back and Ward-Prowse right wing back, but that doiesn't seem to be what everyone is saying on here! Valery = RB, Danso = LB, JWP is on the right side of the AM two (Reds on left). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 Defence looks terrible. Danso has been fine but isn't a left back in a million years - surely Cedric would be better suited. The major concern is how atrocious we've been on the ball. Once Lemina is sold, these are all our midfield options. Yikes. No remotely competent linesman should've needed VAR to intervene on the Brighton goal. Burn has been deliberately blocking Gunn on every single corner.

mrfahaji Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 When the team was announced I thought that if Pellegrino had picked that team I would be unhappy, convinced it was going to lead to defeat. But after so much good that Hasenhuttl has done I am more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately it seems like the concerns were justified. Do you think he has been working on this formation but wanted to save it for this 'more winnable' game? And now in practice it isn't working? Or is it more due to the personnel? I haven't seen enough of the first half to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 Really no clue why we seem to want to pass the ball really slowly with no movement. Playing a left back who is utterly lost in that position doesn’t help. Also is a strategy to leave Gunn to deal with dunk on corners cos we think he’ll be done by var regardless. Otherwise it’s a bit nutty. At least they have 10 men and we somehow aren’t behind I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 We're too tentative because of the change of personnel and formation. As a result we have been outplayed this first half. But we are still on level pegging and have the advantage of an extra player for 45 minutes. I believe that we play better with 3 CBs and with pace out wide, something that Bertrand and Valerie bring. The new lad Danso isn't comfortable enough to press forwards yet. Perhaps he needs Djenepo ahead of him, tracking back to cover him when necessary.

benjii Posted 24 August, 2019 Share Posted 24 August, 2019 The main problem is the rubbish quality throughout the squad. The squad Adkins had immediately after promotion was better. However, square pegs in round holes isn't helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
