Archers Road Stand Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Wouldn't really say its been smash and grab. We've been toothless.
DG Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 No goals and and a makeshift defence, not a great combiantion.
AlexLaw76 Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 That move by Villa is the very thing we never do ATM. We slow it down and allow the oppo to fill the box. 1
Baird of the land Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 We’ve slow ponderous with zero cutting edge. 1
Saint_clark Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Just like to post again on a new page so everyone can see...this was given as offside for the pass from Armstrong to Walcott.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 (edited) With Ings off form we don’t have anyone who can score a goal (or two). Maybe Stu, but the likes of Walcott and Redmond are so utterly wasteful when in on goal. Doubt we get back into this. Edited 30 January, 2021 by OttawaSaint
Chez Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 got away with it twice since the goal. Ww are far too open, yet still don't create much.

Sheaf Saint Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Our current inability to stick the ball in the net is going to completely derail what was looking like being an excellent season.
nta786 Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 The classic ‘pts dropped from winning position’ even comes up when we are losing Unbelievable 😂
hackedoff Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Maybe they will cut out the needless back passing crap and move the ball forward a bit quicker from now on. 1
DT Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 (edited) Can’t help but think we need Adams, not Walcott, and that this is a bad tactical decision from Ralph. Not least because he’s be fired up as an ex Brum player Edited 30 January, 2021 by DT 1
obelisk Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Easy goal for Villa. Move into space, receive the ball, cross it quickly and hey presto. Saints need to find a cutting edge in attack quickly. The slow build up isn't working. 1

Jeremy Corbyn Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 They have a lot more quality in attack and it shows, even when we have more of the play.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 We have too many players that are decent enough but play it so utterly safe 90% of the time, the moment they do try something it’s a poor pass or decision. Unless JWP gets a free kick or two in his office then we’re losing this one.
HKsaint Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Second time Diallo gave the ball to the goalkeeper of the other side directly 1
trousers Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 We're too nice. No-one in the face of the referee at half time to berate the penalty decision 2
Baird of the land Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Atrocious by saints deserved to be losing(despite the bizarre penalty call) Bring on Adams and stop spending the whole game passing ponderously backwards
S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 We've played alright, but we just don't have that quality up front at the moment. It dies in and around the final third after what is good build up through the lines. Not getting the rub of the green or that bit of luck anymore either, season has flipped on it's head. It was always going to happen eventually (After 40 or so games of consistent form) but it's still frustrating.
AlexLaw76 Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 (edited) I actually find us pretty boring to watch at the mo. Sure, nice football in the back 3rd/middle 3rd too boring and safe up top. We slow the ball down way too much in their half and allow the oppo to defend the width of their 18 yard box. hopefully the team can turn it around Edited 30 January, 2021 by AlexLaw76 2

Not least because he’s be fired up as an ex Brum player Tbh I think he is playing OK, what I have noticed is that he will pass and then go on a run into a dangerous position but does not get the ball back. Also think Diallo and JWP should swap positions. Edited 30 January, 2021 by Saint Billy
Micky Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 (edited) For all our possession we created the square root of nothing. Villa were woeful in that half as well, they can only be better in the second. I have absolutely zero confidence that we have the balls to get back into this. Another loss coming up, our early season form has saved us this season. We'll limp over in 14th or 15th. Edited 30 January, 2021 by Micky 1

I won’t say “fault” because he’s playing out of position, but a proper full back wouldn’t have let Grealish get in behind so easily
badgerx16 Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 I'm looking forward to our 6 pointers against Fulham, WBA, and Sheff Utd. 1

My last post for the day, so hopefully the team can turn it around We're very Brighton-esque at the moment.
BotleySaint Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 We don't look confident at the moment in the final third. Performances have dropped off since the Liverpool win. Need players to step up and take responsibility.
Archers Road Stand Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 We're very boring to watch. Deservedly losing because we've created fuck all whereas they've created 3 decent chances and taken 1. Redmond kills every attack, hes too slow. He had the chance to play a simple pass to Ings who was in on goal just before half time but nah, he decides to shoot and kill another attack. Really poor defending for the goal, by everyone.
davefizzy14 Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 I think we been robbed 1st half. Shocking decision by Mason.
Saint Keef Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Of course, proof is not needed, but Mike Dean just confirming what an absolute fucking knob-head he is. 1
Jonnyboy Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 We are bottom of the form table for goals scored. We must be near bottom for points as well. 2021 has started the opposite to 2020 for us. 1

You know that if he’s going to be involved there is going to be a controversial moment, it happens too often for it not to be deliberate.

Nordic Saint Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 (edited) For the Villa goal I thought McCarthy's reflexes were very slow for a Premier League goalkeeper. Any other goalkeeper would have just stuck his right arm out and saved that. It came at a perfect height for him to save. . Edited 30 January, 2021 by Nordic Saint 1 2

I wasn't really paying attention at the time so assumed that was why. What the hell has the lino seen there then? And why did he not follow the guidance of letting play on before raising his flag? Something is very wrong here.
Baird of the land Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 No clue why we thought leaving Ings completely isolated was a good idea. I could maybe understand it against the likes of Man City but not a very average Villa side
Saint-Reece Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Agree with the posts above. Worrying as to how we have gone backwards and struggling to even get shots on target at the moment.

I’m enjoying watching us more then I have in years - we just can’t buy a goal at the moment and we need Ings to step up.
qwertyell Posted 30 January, 2021 Posted 30 January, 2021 Possibly the best we've played in a month - but still much the same outcome: loads of possession, no goal threat, and every promising opening ruined by a poor touch/pass/decision. And then hit with the classic sucker punch, defenders marking thin air. Given that we're always worse in the second half, this is probably game over already. Robbed of a penalty, of course, but we've been on the lucky side of those calls this season too. We can't blame that for our impotence going forward or inability to defend. Not sure how we turn this round - or the run we're on. Man United up next. 1
