Mr X Posted 18 August, 2021 Share Posted 18 August, 2021 I know we are only one game in but I really do fear for us this season, think maybe our luck of just about scraping by will run out. We have the same lack of mental strength as last season (why have we not erased this or at least improved), haven't sorted out our defence or keeper problems, sold our best and most consistent goal scorer, sold an experienced lump of a defender without an immediate replacement lined up, and our new signings will take some time to adapt to this league and how Ralph insists on playing. We don't have that one star player on our team sheet anymore that can make things happen!

In an age where every keeper is rushing off their line and command of the box is key how are we stuck with two that refuse to even come for balls dropping within their 6 yard area. Thought Id get stuck into this argument as well. Its seems on here its just a matter of opinion. I played cb for years to a good level. Personally speaking, I wouldve been hugely pissed off with myself for stopping and letting the ball drop there and I wouldnt have expected my keeper to come for that. He would have seen me there and quite rightly would have expected me to deal with it, but thats just my point of view.

SNSUN Posted 18 August, 2021 Share Posted 18 August, 2021 Pace. I would put all our quickest players in there and really bang them on the counter attack, as even though we're the home team, a team like United will have most of the possession. That means playing Tella somewhere. It's a shame we don't have the extra centre back yet, because the other option would be to go with 3 CBs and have Tino and Perraud as wing backs, Romeu and JWP in the middle and Tella, Adams and Armstrong up the top. I know the 3 CB situation was bleak leading up to our initial 9-0 against Leicester, but I still think it has it's place against better teams. Personally my favourite formation is the 4-2-3-1 we played under Pochettino but we are a million miles away from having the defensive and attacking midfielders needed for the formation! I support Hasenhuttl, he isn't perfect but I think he's been dealt a shitty hand taking us on with no added transfer budget, inheriting a shitty squad and then having an injury crisis that would have wiped out Any of the bottom 14, but he has made strange choices of late. Walcott is a back up, and should be a back up. His signing was poor anyway but it doesn't mean you have to use him. To leave others out in favour of him is crazy - this isn't the Walcott of 12 years ago. Our best team is probably: Forster, Tino/KWP, Bednarek, Salisu, Perraud, JWP, Romeu, Armstrong, Tella/Redmond, Armstrong, Adams so let's hope we play something close to it at the weekend.

Maybe you didn't notice Stephens completely fail to track Calvert-Lewin or even so much as twist his head to see where he was as he ran into the box and stooped to head home unmarked. For some reason only he can explain Stephens looked surprised as though he didn't expect to see him there - either that or he didn't care and to be fair, that's the impression he gave. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 19 August, 2021 Share Posted 19 August, 2021 We really need to set up to frustrate United as they've too much class all over the pitch. Would prefer we went 4-1-4-1. With only one striker I would opt for Adams to try and hold it up and if we're still in the game last 25 mins then look to bring Adam Armstrong on. Or if Armstrong is comfortable playing off the wing then start him ahead of Tella. Forster KWP Salisu Stephens Perraud Romeu Tino JWP S Armstrong Tella Adams Ralph wont do this though. He'll try to go on the offensive and employ the usual 4-2-2-2. We'll press like crazy first 25 and then get picked apart once we tire and spaces open up 4-1 United I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartridgeA Posted 19 August, 2021 Share Posted 19 August, 2021 Really enjoyed reading the tactical analysis here. Some great points. The thing that has really stood out to me is the lack of variety in our play. You could literally go through the last 100 Saints matches but for a couple of odd exceptions (ironically where we played different formation like against Man City or the drubbing from United) and we have no deviation in play. Not even through different personnel. Several things jump out from that. We are easiest team to play against tactically in the league. This is a major weakness. The depth and variety of the squad is poor. (Redmond or Djenepo to me is the equivalent of saying do you want to start 10 players on the pitch or 10 players) Ralph doesn’t seem to have the ability to learn or adapt (I do like Ralph) Players look out of ideas but for a small flurry in the first half There are loads more questions that come from this such as what are we doing in training, why aren’t we recruiting to improve the starting lineup in the style Ralph wants and why do we have no plan B? Ultimately like everyone else has stated on this forum. We seem to have issues with tactics, manager, personnel, money, motivation and ability too. Then we win a game and suddenly everything is rosey again and we paper over the cracks. Another observation from myself is that we are so reliant on JWP set-pieces it hugely hampers us if he’s off form (and especially now Vest has gone). I find his general play far too basic. He has heart no question, but he’s so often out of position but rarely contributing defensively or in an attacking manner in general play. Now I’m not a JWP hater by any stretch but the best I have ever seen JWP play was that England game where he burst forward and scored. Granted the oppo wasn’t up to much but he had purpose and played much higher up the pitch. He passed quicker, looked to build triangles and actually looked to try things I have very rarely seen him do in a saints shirt. That’s not all on JWP either… I think this causes us so many issues as we really need him to be jack of all trades - creator, shield and leader. I think he’s too limited to offer us that and therefore we need to look at ways of reducing his workload but increasing his output to what is beneficial for the team. To my mind we need a change in formation to do that. 4-2-3-1 would be the obvious choice. I actually think he would do a job as a deep lying playmaker and concentrate on keeping the moving forward quickly to attacking players. He can also play as a 10 if we want more pressing support up top. Just not in this 4-2-2-2 nonsense which makes him so isolated and limited in his passing options. For what it’s worth I’d play 4-3-1-2 this weekend Forster KWP. Bed. Salisu. Perraud S Arm. Romeu. JWP Livramento Che. A. Arm. Yes I think Livramento can play behind strikers and I think he’d be much more effective than Djenepo, Redmond or Walcott. I think we need the width to come from fullbacks and more rotation in the centre. Anyhow, just a few observations for a first post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big defeats against big teams won't bother the powers that be as much as lots of small defeats against teams around us, as they have little effect on relegation risk. I think he will get a chance with his newly updated squad to show we have what it takes to be a midtable side, which is probably the goal. Also the "but he won't" bit seems like something you can't really predict. We shall see. Also final question, are you SKD? If so why were you banned? It's fine if you don't want to say and get this acc banned too but SKD always seemed quite reasonable regardless of us holding vastly different views so would be a shame to see they got kicked off.
