simo Posted 29 October, 2019 Share Posted 29 October, 2019 I hope we are on the look out for someone to replace Ralph, even before Friday things with him were looking off ! (Subs , tactics and team selections etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 29 October, 2019 Share Posted 29 October, 2019 Tonight is not so much about the players he has picked, but more about the formation and the total lack of giving it a go. For me, it should have been 4-3-2-1: McCarthy; Valery, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Vokins; Romeu, Højbjerg, Ward-Prowse; Boufal, Redmond; Adams. At least that way, we would have had a little bit of a go and had some attacking intent in the side. As it is, we are simply laying down and hoping City miss their chances. We certainly aren't going to score! I doubt we'd score with that front three they have one league goal between them this season..

Nordic Saint Posted 29 October, 2019 Share Posted 29 October, 2019 Not even trying against man city reserves maybe not quite as embarrassing as 9-0 to Leicester but it is still pretty embarassing. I'm struggling to think of 2 consecutive Saints games when we made so little effort to try to win. The concern is that this is going to be the game plan against top teams for the remainder of the season: just trying to keep the score down. But, when we play our relegation rivals will it be possible for the team to switch back to game winning mode again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 29 October, 2019 Share Posted 29 October, 2019 Any logical reason why Ralph hasn't changed anything yet? (Formation, subs, etc)Because all our players are ****e it doesn't matter which 11 are on the pitch, in what formation they are in, they are always ****e if I was Ralph I'd be typing up my notice letter about now rather than wasting time on subs...

captainchris Posted 29 October, 2019 Share Posted 29 October, 2019 What is Ralph supposed to do? Who else can he play? We have no one. He can bloody well coach them! Obviously though he cannot do that and has proved this by ensuring every single player has become worse and worse. He simply has to be sacked !!!!

Chez Posted 29 October, 2019 Share Posted 29 October, 2019 .....................we look shot to fuc yep. It's not really about a lack of effort, it is a lack of confidence. We don't know what we are doing. Players don't trust each other or know where each other will be. The constant changing of formations and players cant be helping.

"of course we have, what do you think the coaching staff are for?" "oh so the plan is to just continue with a back 8 in the hopes of eeking out 28 0-0 draws?" "OMG even you know it!
