Saint NL Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Why are we playing a sweeper keeper? The defensive line is way too high again...
S-Clarke Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 I'll say again, what is up with our defensive line? We've changed something in pre-season from what I can tell and it needs to change back now.

Misses a sitter (gotta at least test the keeper from 12 yards unmarked) and then stands and watches as his man scores a free header from a corner. I think he is such a poor player. really. No way near the standard we need. Expand Not sure if seeing things but It was bertrand who was marking their goalscorer, adams was on the 6yrd line and got to him after he ran past 3 players without interference. Also assume missing sitter was the Ings miss ?

Dorchester Saint Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 2-0 down to Brentford at home.....F**k off !!
CB Fry Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 You'd have to be absolutely mad to think this lot could finish in the top half.
BotleySaint Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 All over by half time. Just the typical early season Saints.
macca155 Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 OMG this is terrible 0 2 now, they just walked through us
nta786 Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Im gonna switch over to the cricket! although might end up disappointed twice 😬
Suhari Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 How many players did we leave free then! Jesus: we're awful.
johnnyboy Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Feel for anybody that has paid £10 for this , shocking performance so far !
Viking Saint Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Wtf has happened to us? How have we lost so much momentum since the season ended? I really don't believe that it's the sale of Højbjerg that's done it to us

Saint NL Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Awful stuff so far. The defense is all over the place.

Thought we'd get off to a flyer this season given that the last one ended only a few weeks ago. It's the hope that kills you. FFS Saints! Expand With hindsight it appears everyone else had taken the foot fully off the gas during project restart.

Edmonton Saint Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Completely pathetic defending again. Forum darling Stephens way out of position, Romeu with a half assed challenge and then the brentford player unmarked. This team yet again has no backbone.
whelk Posted 16 September, 2020 Author Posted 16 September, 2020 Relegation certainties this year....again
S-Clarke Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Worst 45 under Ralph, nothing in this half. Those guys need to take a long hard look at themselves, they've believed the hype and took their foot off. Shocking, disgusting attitude. The losers are coming back out to play.
Archers Road Stand Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Game over. Completely outplayed by a Championship outfit. Another failed window if we don't sign at least a CM to start over Romeu.
Baird of the land Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Truly awful by that xi again. Same insipid lazy display. None of them deserve to start for Saints against Spurs.
Disco Stu Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 They should be embarassed. What's happened to them? Are we this disfunctional without Armstrong?
Convict Colony Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Ball given away cheaply in the centre (walker-peters) they swing it to their left winger who dances around a few including a slow moving Romeu, crosses it to the top of the D and unlike our players manages to shot onto goal.
Katalinic Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 McCarthy at Centre Back not working. We look like relegation fodder tbh. As per Saturday not one positive in that half. We desperately need a few in.
OttawaSaint Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Ralph trying to be too smart with this suicidal high line. If it ain't broke... 1
whelk Posted 16 September, 2020 Author Posted 16 September, 2020 Ralph should be kicking boots into everyone of their faces at half time. Criminal performance
saint1977 Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 This is needed - you could smell the complacency from last season’s finish after they looked so fit and hungry. No point taking out a big loan and going down, need to use some of it for a couple of first team ready faces at least. Salisu will in as well as soon as up to speed, Stephens has regressed back to 2018.

Just got in from training, found a link, found we were 1-0 down then that. You could see it all happening in slow motion.

Expand Exactly, he's changed something. We can all see it. He needs to have a word with himself if he thinks that works with these players. Get back to what we had and scrap that line. So shit. 4
LaptopSaint Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Romeu, Redmond, Ings so far today... and don't get me started on this high line. Time for a big 2nd half response. On 16/09/2020 at 19:37, Baird of the land said: I'm more worried by how appalling Redmond currently is. Expand

Micky Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 I know i shouldn't laugh, but who thought it would be a good idea to defend like we do? What is gained by vacating our half.

Expand Redmond has never scored more than 7 goals or 4 assists in any season for us and I am not sure he is that a hard worker (he is compared to boufal but that is a low benchmark) I personally think it is definitely a position to be upgraded but unfortunately we have plenty of fires elsewhere.

SuperSAINT Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 Great plan by Ralph to lull Spurs into a false sense of security...

Wade Garrett Posted 16 September, 2020 Posted 16 September, 2020 I bet Spurs are shitting themselves.
