sydney_saint Posted 13 July, 2020 Share Posted 13 July, 2020 My issues with KWP and why I don't think we should sign him. Neat and tidy on the ball, but a full back who wants to success in a top half team either needs to have the pace to beat a man, or pace to defend the quick and power players. Either that or an absolute wand of a boot. He doesn't have either. Will make a very good top Championship player, or lower end premier league. But not quite the level we should be aiming for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 13 July, 2020 Share Posted 13 July, 2020 See out 2-1 till half time where possible. problem is these lot have ability to counter attack at devastating pace, but can also unlock a defence with Fernandes/Pogba. really tough game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 13 July, 2020 Share Posted 13 July, 2020 (edited) For an attacking player that's got the ability to go past players with ease, Redmond does have a very unhealthy obsession with looking to go backwards before he looks forwards. Contrast with that run by Rashford down the wing there... Edited 13 July, 2020 by Saint_clark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 13 July, 2020 Share Posted 13 July, 2020 Generally like Neville but was a yellow at most for Romeu, momentum carried him into the foul. Adams blatantly fouled a minute ago. JWP booking fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted 13 July, 2020 Share Posted 13 July, 2020 A dodgy few minutes there where Saints couldn't live with Utd's pace but looking a bit more comfortable again.

Baird of the land Posted 13 July, 2020 Share Posted 13 July, 2020 Bit worried at how much we want to muck about with silly sideways passes around our area today. walkers needs hooking. Get hojberg in at fullback again. When we press their defensive we’ve caused them problems. Like to get a few more shots in if anything. Disappointed that Redmond tried to pass at the end there when the ball fell to him in space on the edge of the box. it was fun watching how disinterested Pogba b3came when saints were harrying him. Shame Adams chose the wrong end ball on the breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams has put himself about plenty, but hasn't really shown the quality to link up meaningfully with the rest of the attack. That's basically exactly what Long offers.

Because Long knows how to unsettle defences to make mistakes, which their centrebacks are notorious for, as well as being better in the air for flick ons, and having a better understanding with Ings.

Secret Site Agent Posted 13 July, 2020 Share Posted 13 July, 2020 VAR looking at a possible incident off of the ball..........and it's looks like VAR isn't sure that Gary Neville is biased. Goes on and on about Romeu but mentions nothing about Harry Hands - on Maguire throwing people around. We were doing ok but manure seems to have knocked the wind out of our sails. Let's at least try and do some damage limitation if we are going to whack the ball around willy nilly. The 3 - 1 is coming I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
