Saint Billy Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 A bit ironic that we are still shit at home even with no support 1
jasonb Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 And valery is making hard work of this. Do the basics son when you're up against it.
OttawaSaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Just now, Ashby Saint said: Valery needs to come off at half-time. This, he’s getting worse. Just ran under the ball and headed it straight up, Arsenal broke and he had to commit a foul to get out of it.
Nolan Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 I feel my squad prediction from earlier missing a goalkeeper was a fair and prescient post. 1
benjii Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 I'd be tempted to switch to 352. Put JWP out at RWB.

OttawaSaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Same as last time. Arsenal are there for the taking and we just can’t seem to get it together enough to beat them.
LGTL Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Hojberg is never on the half turn. Utterly infuriating.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 How easy did Hoj and JWP concede possession to Sako there? Powderpuff. Absolute dogshit.
jasonb Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Better from Obefemi there.... typical I slate him... then he does something
Lighthouse Posted 25 June, 2020 Author Posted 25 June, 2020 Just shows to show how sh*t Arsenal are, they’re the only team in the league who can’t score from one of our corners.

OttawaSaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Hopefully Ralph rips into them at HT. This has been shit. 1
Jimmy_D Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Looks like we're getting a foothold again. Arsenal haven't actually threatened much apart from our gift, just the one chance for Aubameyang really.
Katalinic Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 How many times do we concede/nearly concede from our corners ffs.
OttawaSaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Heisenberg must be at the game. “Where there’s a will there a way”.
nta786 Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Can anyone actually tell what our formation is or our shape? I get being flexible but we look all over the place. PEH is playing deeper, Bertrand sometimes pushes into CB like a 3atb? just seems all over the place
obelisk Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Nearly screwed up at the back again. Stop with all the pass backs. 1
OttawaSaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Fuck McC almost did it again. Fouled this time. edit: let off, nketia missed a decent chance
nta786 Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 and perhaps Nketiah should have scored for them there. whilst the goal was shocking, Arsenal winning is a fair reflection on this half 1

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 No idea what we are doing out there. No plan. Making Ralph look like a muppet. Maybe he has got it wrong tactically?

I don’t disagree but for somebody to say he’s shown nothing to suggest he can be a PL player is nonsense, that’s what I was replying to. 1 1
HarvSFC Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Playing like a training match. Ings the only one showing any intensity, but he always does.
BotleySaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Arsenal should be winning this one comfortably 3-0. But there is still hope for Ralph to come up with a plan for the second half.
Archers Road Stand Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Lucky its only 1-0. Very poor performance from us, no urgency, no pressing, no nothing. Arsenal have been comfortable as fuck. Gash.
Nolan Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Hojbjerg and Valery off at halftime, please. Don't care who comes in instead. 1
Batman Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 (edited) Meh Valery is such an appalling RB - still Obafemi will do well to have a career in the top flight. No attributes what so ever that standout. McCarthy pathetic Hoj does not have a forward pass in him Redmond ok Ings looking lively Edited 25 June, 2020 by Batman 1
Baird of the land Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 (edited) Jwp and hojberg looking off pace today so far thought Valery started very shakily but has improved. Still looks short of confidence because last season he would have controlled cross field ball don’t get obafemi hate. Service is terrible, almost played ings in, one the few times saints midfield have passed it anywhere but left hand side. Edited 25 June, 2020 by Baird of the land
obelisk Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Typical home performance really. Too slow. Defence often exposed. Stupid mistakes.
Saint_clark Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 I say it all the time but Redmond is wasted on the left, it gives him one option which is cut inside which invariably leads to it going backwards to the full back or centreback. Every single time he's played right wing he's looked significantly better.
suewhistle Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 The number of times we've effed up back passes. it's the one area where your average Sunday football keeper doesn't make mistakes, and the fact that a highly paid professional pats a five yard pass like that defies belief. 2
beatlesaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Only Ings and possibly Armstrong looked any good. Valery is bloody shocking, surely KWP can’t be any worse
striker Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Ings doing well, Armstrong pretty good, but anything to do with defending looks shaky. I'd take off Valery and Obafemi. Also like to see Romeu on to solidify things in the back. 1
gammon cheeks Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Is it me or does Valery look so fookin casual ! Need a bit of creativity from the bench ...Boufal would have been good for this . 1

madge Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Pretty abysmal really and no tempo to our play so think we need long on. I’m amazed how often valery is out of position and the amount of times he ball watches. But what was McCarthy up to?? Jeez Arsenal pretty ordinary so still a chance.
doggface Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Typical Southampton home performance so far, ponderous, slow and losing. Must be the fans. Had high hopes for Valery this season but he has had an awful season, KWP must be terrible in training not to even get a shot. Obafemi anonymous so far, bring on Long. Arsenal tactically on point. 1
davefizzy14 Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 We have been too slow with our build up play at times and making a few mistakes still at the back. We are still in this! Long on at half time to increase our intensity. COYR
Lighthouse Posted 25 June, 2020 Author Posted 25 June, 2020 KWP, Adams and Smallbone for Valery, Hoj and Baffers if it was up to me.
JRM Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 I'm on my way down the ground to boo them off at the end, they should be able to hear me from outside.
stknowle Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Complete and utter yawnfest augmented by a ridiculous GK howler. Bring on the second half!!!!
OttawaSaint Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Abject performance so far. When we are off our game we are not good at all. Need to find a way to still be difficult to beat when we are having an off day. Giving gifts to the oppo doesn’t help our cause. RB slot, GK and CB backup is essential. Maybe a CF too.
JRM Posted 25 June, 2020 Posted 25 June, 2020 Still bottom of the league based on home results. Shocking. At least they can't blame the fans this time.
