There were a few faults in the build up to that goal, they broke midfield too easily, got at our back 4 who backed off. And Valery was totally out of position and no where near their left sided player who was in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmary Posted 7 August, 2021 Share Posted 7 August, 2021 Yes it's a friendly, but we have been shocking. We'll struggle without Ings.

But from what we know Ralph can be very stubborn in his approach/tactics. We can’t really afford to take 0 points from the first few games. Not saying that will happen but this last game should be as close to our starting line up as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obelisk Posted 7 August, 2021 Share Posted 7 August, 2021 Ref could have given us a pen just to help try and make a game of it. Would have probably missed anyway. As an attacking force Saints look as sharp as a big wobbly, bobbly thing. We looked ok for 15 minutes or so but then Athletic had the measure of us. Is this performance designed to fool Everton into taking it easy next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss poor which I guess was to be expected when you're playing with two League One standard strikers. Would explain the 0 but the midfield and defence are to blame for at least the second of the 2, ( assuming you blame Long for the first ).

redkeith Posted 7 August, 2021 Share Posted 7 August, 2021 I do like the way that Long always lets the man get in between him and the ball, including the scorer of the first goal. If he is not doing that, then he is offside ! The man still has no understanding of the game of football after 24 years FFS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddeer Posted 7 August, 2021 Share Posted 7 August, 2021 Good confidence builder this. Long and Obafemi having their own private competition to see which one of them can be caught offside more often. Armstrong invisible other than giving away possession leading to the second goal. We have created the square root of diddly squat. They are coasting and still 2 up at half time. Surprisingly thought Valery looked reasonable. Ah well, it's only a friendly and I'm sure we will be fine tuned like a well oiled machine by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be anywhere near our bench let alone on the pitch. I’m thankful to him for his service but he knows that he can’t do it in the EPL anymore. Club should have let him go rather than get sentimental with the extension. Edited 7 August, 2021 by OttawaSaint 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Ron Posted 7 August, 2021 Share Posted 7 August, 2021 Don’t blame Valery he has 2 players every time Armstrong going through motions leaving Valery alone. All our play is through Valery who went up pitch when Armstrong gifted it away. The forward line wouldn’t cope in league 2 but absolutely no service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 7 August, 2021 Share Posted 7 August, 2021 Thanks to whoever posted the link.. I'm trying to take a few positives from the game but it's difficult. Obafemi is certainly putting more effort in and looks faster but Long alongside him makes me despair. Salisu looking better all the time, McCarthy definitely not.. Valery looks stronger but his full back positional play is no better although he has used his pace once or twice to recover situations. Armstrong not quite at the races but he's not a worry in the longer term. Djenepo is Djenepo, shame he spoiled that final run by going down so easily but at least he's likely to do something unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a team with a paper thin squad, what if we’ve made our subs and a key player gets a slight knock.
