obelisk Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Not feeling optimistic. Especially given the game is at St Mary's where we struggle far too often. I'm guessing we'll get a couple of wins somewhere eventually but I fear that the downward spiral will not be halted today.

igsey Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Feeling about as optimistic as the rest of you lot on here. Hopefully 3/5 at the back will allow JWP to get forward a bit more? He's been very quiet the last few games.
VectisSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 A team without KWP and Armstrong has no energy and no creativity. They aren't necessarily the best players of the season, but they do make us tick, and we are ponderous without them. The folly of such a small squad this season (with games coming thick and fast and limited recovery facilities) is really coming home to haunt us at the moment. Think I'll find something else to do this afternoon, rather than watch this potential shit show 🙄

You can hear from Hythe if the wind is in the right direction. I know because I heard two great roars that day we lost 3-2 to Chelsea. Both times I checked my phone for confirmation we had scored.

davefizzy14 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) Definitely a back four with Jan at right back. Edited 20 February, 2021 by davefizzy14

nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 I’ve seen Alonso score those before Chelsea beat the press nicely and then countered
benjii Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Our shape is a complete mess. Gonna concede a bunch unless we're very lucky. 1
Saints foreva Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Let off there. We are going to get thumped.
BotleySaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Just now, nta786 said: I’ve seen Alonso score those before Chelsea beat the press nicely and then countered Yep, they got in behind Romeu and JWP. We have no answer to players running at us with pace really.
AlexLaw76 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) Considering how wide Chelsea will have players, Djenepo is very central 🤔 Edited 20 February, 2021 by AlexLaw76
igsey Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Vestergaard's positioning is terrible so far.
Baird of the land Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Minamino carrying on from the last game in his uselessness 2
OttawaSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Clown shoes Redmond gets the nod ahead of Adams again. Hopefully Che is furious and come on with a point to prove.
LGTL Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Been a poor start, we look all over the place at the moment.
BotleySaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Just now, Baird of the land said: Minamino carrying on from the last game in his uselessness Not quite the spark we hoped for. But he probably isn't match sharp yet. Worth persisting with for now.

captainchris Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) Two up front, Djenepo and an odd right back .... Come on Ralph, you don’t invite sympathy do you... Edited 20 February, 2021 by captainchris
egg Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Where is Djenepo playing? He's all over the place.

LGTL Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 I’ve been trying to work out for 16 minutes what shape we’re actually playing here? Any ideas?
OttawaSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) When we get a throw in why do we wait for the oppo to get back and cover and then everyone just stands still after being marked? Edited 20 February, 2021 by OttawaSaint

egg Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Salisu static there. Thought he was meant to be the mobile CB.
The Cat Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 They are obviously better than us but we don't help ourselves by making terrible unforced errors with the ball. 2
Lighthouse Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 I’m watching women’s Alpine skiing on Eurosport instead. I think I’ll support Slovenia, just for giggles.
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Minamino is giving the ball away a lot. He keeps flicking the ball instead of passing it.

AlexLaw76 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Disappointingly, Chelsea are able to pass it around/through us without breaking a sweat. Bar for a poor shot or a mis-placed final ball, we have not found ourselves in trouble yet... It is not as if we are parking 10 men behind the ball either. Just really in-offensive! Can't constantly blame injuries. We have two starters unavailable - most teams will have that, or worse. weird.

egg Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 1 minute ago, Dorchester Saint said: 4-2-2-2 Looks 433 at times though. Djenepo deeper than Minamino. Odd.
Chez Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 we are getting run ragged. We are wide open everywhere. We look likely to concede with every attack. Thankfully we haven't. Got to adjust quickly.
OttawaSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Passing us to death, just a matter of time before Werner scores...
