obelisk Posted 28 June, 2020 Share Posted 28 June, 2020 Not bad at all. Saints really worth more than 1-0. Not too much fannying around in defence but there were a couple of daft free-kicks given away towards the end of the first half. Should polish them off 2nd half but this is Saints at Watford so expect a late goal for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwbu Posted 28 June, 2020 Share Posted 28 June, 2020 Smallbone for that goal is almost identical to Hojbjerg before Arsenal’s first goal the other day. The difference? Smallbone was aware of what’s behind him, and his instinct was to turn into attack. Hojbjerg had no clue what was around him, bounced it right back first time, forcing us to go backwards and eventual cock up and concede. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better body shape to receive the ball, turn and get it out to the wing quickly. Hoj is always facing away from goal and looking to go backwards, when he does go forwards he delays and misses his pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
