bpsaint Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 In some ways I’d rather we finished the season with a pissed off Ralph, to encourage him and the powers that be to get some decent reinforcements in rather than the recent windows of late where they think we’re doing alright and don’t need to bring anyone in.

Baird of the land Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 Frustrating that bournemouth are winning but saints have looked slow and ponderous today. But for Mccarthy we'd be 3-0 nil down. Redmond looked the one bright spark going forward but far too much of the time we are content with playing safe passes backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 Lots of possession, silly defensive mistake and lack of pressure in the attacking third. Been here before. Still, better towards the end of the first half but I reckon we're more likely to see Sharp nick a 2nd from a poor Saints pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 Time for the Ralph half time rocket up the arse. I'd bring on Bednarek for Vestergaard. And, I'd also being on N'lundulu for Smallbone. Play him up front with Ings and play Adams slightly deeper in the number 10 role. I know he's already come on as a sub and he's still learning etc etc, but I can't see what Smallbone brings to the team ATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But arguably the way to get around this sort of setup is by stretching the game and getting in behind, so I'd keep Redmond exactly where he is. Not seen enough from Adams so far, needs to be more clever with his movement and offer us more of an outlet. This is why I believe we need more flank players, as it's pretty much just Redmond and Moussa when he's fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 Hasenhuttl has to earn his corn with tactical changes and an inspirational half time talk. It seems plain that Vestergaard is the weak link in defence. He needs replacing or covering on that flank. Sheffield United are well drilled and tight and will be hard to break down. Being a goal up, they have no inclination to open up, and can rely on hitting us on the break at any opportunity. This is the type of team that gives us the difficulties at home. As it stands, get a draw and hope that Bournemouth beat Everton, and we go ahead of them, don't we? It would be a shame if we got that record of most home losses in a season, but thankfully it doesn't mean much given the number of away wins.
