Lighthouse Posted 6 November, 2020 Author Posted 6 November, 2020 Four men around him, that was unnecessary.
qwertyell Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Getting through the midfield too easily. Intensity dropped right off after we scored. Romeu booked already. Not great.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Stephens getting far far too high up the pitch and we almost got caught leading to Romeu having to take a yellow. Have a word Ralph!

Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Everyone lined up on the edge of the box and nobody ran in. Wtf.

Plastic Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 (edited) god we look good in open play. why all the moaning? 😕 Edited 6 November, 2020 by Plastic 1
LeBizzier69 Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Still think Theo at times looks like he’s never kicked a ball in his life. 1
Lighthouse Posted 6 November, 2020 Author Posted 6 November, 2020 Loads of space in front of their back line, just poor final balls every time. 1

StrangelyBrown Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Stephens is completely unwilling to pass the ball forward or overlap. Very odd 1

Sheaf Saint Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 1 minute ago, StrangelyBrown said: Stephens is completely unwilling to pass the ball forward or overlap. Very odd It's probably about knowing his limitations and being instructed to not commit himself forward too much.
BotleySaint Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 1 minute ago, StrangelyBrown said: Stephens is completely unwilling to pass the ball forward or overlap. Very odd He isn't comfortable at left back. Don't we have anyone else that can play there? Ralph will have picked up on it i think.
Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Oh Theo.......should have passed it after that. Brilliant from Djenepo.

adrian lord Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Theo has never been known for his finishing
trousers Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 I'm wondering if Ralph will contemplate bringing on Ramsey at RB at half time and switch KWP to LB?
Sheaf Saint Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Djenepo was in acres of space there if Armstrong could have found him. Good chance fro Walcott, just wide.
Jonnyboy Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Is it just me is Djenejo getting ignored when a good pass is on?

bpsaint Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Could be 2 or 3 but I’m kind of glad it’s not, would rather us come out looking to kill the game than sit back and protect something. 1
Viking Saint Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Just now, Sheaf Saint said: That is never, ever a foul. Nope, he lost his balance and fell over. Got to be happy with that though
obelisk Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Saints worthy of more than one goal but need to be more clinical in the attacking third. I don't think one goal will be enough.
trousers Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 With a bit more quality in the final pass, we'd be 2 or 3 up by now. Missing a Tadic-esque figure one could say?
saint1977 Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Just now, Sheaf Saint said: That is never, ever a foul. Alan Smith called it straight away with a growl - the centre forward union still there. Scharr got away with one. Good first half but gutted at Theo miss, certain it was going in. Theo lively, Djenepo very tidy, Stephens doing OK out of position, KWP very good game and Adams has the measure of their CBs. Armstrong and JWP our best players.

Kingsland Codger Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Djenepo is showing a great reluctance to take on his man and get to the bye-Line. Presumably under instructions not to in case he gets stopped and leaves Stephens vulnerable down our left flank? 1
badgerx16 Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Stephens' lack of a left foot ( other than for standing on ) means we are very right side biased in attack.
bpsaint Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 I’ve no doubt that if Ings was on we’d be 2 or 3 up.
Baird of the land Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Good performance. Lead feels a bit insecure though. Left side an obvious weakness, djenepo seems a bit cautious at times, wonder if it’s under instruction with the makeshift leftback. real shame Walcott couldn’t bury that chance to make it 2 nil
BallBoy Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Doing really well considering we are playing without a left hand side. Would rather Djenepo going for it and Stephens backing up. At present Djenepo plays backwards too often and Stephens just does not have the balance to do anything with it.

Holbury Saint Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Stephens is an accident waiting to happen. We really should play someone else left back 2nd half. He looks so uncomfortable
qwertyell Posted 6 November, 2020 Posted 6 November, 2020 Strange performance. Quite subdued and negative - yet we've made some decent chances. Hope the team are just pacing themselves and they'll be a bit more urgent in the second half. Absolutely not comfortable at 1-0. Adams looks confident and bullish, Walcott has been decent but missed a great opportunity. Djenepo and Stephens down the left has no attacking threat. Some nice touches from Djenepo, but he doesn't want to drive forward. Need the second. 1
