Charlie Wayman Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Our strikers are not in the game either, need some serious changes at HT. Need KWP to inject some life, Livramento too tentative and Stephens having a nightmare. We need to up the pace in the second half, they will tire and we will pull this back to 2-2.

NewYorkSaint Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Hard to see how to use the bench here. We pretty much have our best team on. If we can shock them with a goal, it will dramatically change the momentum of the game, and we have a shout. Need something special from Broja...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Felt Armstrong has been dangerous. Early chance to equalise and then a later shot blocked. Hopefully he can grab one back early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 disappointing at both ends. We ain't been good enough in the final third, not enough pressure on the ball in midfield and collectively not defended well at all. When a side puts under pressure some of these `great' players haven't been good enough (first touch etc.). Game is not over. Need some sort of tactical change though.

The Cat Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Valery came out at half time, had a quick warm up and went back in. Maybe he's coming on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca155 Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Guess we were due this at some point. The defence is being carved open, this partnership clearly isn't our best. However the ball is being lost elsewhere far too frequently. Bad day at the office, changes required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Strange game so far, loads of possession but don't look like scoring and seemingly are happy to give up good chances whenever they bother to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. Tino just ain't as good. Not the reason we are losing, but these little things all add up. Everyone needs to up their game. Only Armstrong impressed me first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeu has been playing so deep trying to help out our CBs. Seems like half the game he has been playing behind Stephens and Bednarek.

Mallagroth Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 (edited) Dare I say it but JWP looks a little laboured, hardly a surprise considering how hard he works every game and was bound to have an off day, but we only need a couple of moments this team is good enough to claw back into it if they can be reinvigorated for second half. fuck it time to be optimistic and go for our old classic score line from the halcyon days of saints 4-2 Edited 5 March, 2022 by Mallagroth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddeer Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Our unbeaten run had to come to an end sometime and it will be today unless there is a massive turnaround in the second half. The disappointment is the fact we are being well beaten which none of us expected. Poor at the back and our passing and decision making going forward is not on the money. We need to start applying pressure and working their keeper because we've not had one shot on target which is not like us. Just a bad day at the office maybe. I'd bring on KWP if he's fit enough and maybe Adam Armstrong for some extra pace because we didn't pose them nearly enough problems in that weak first half. 45 to put it right but let's not get battered by these.

SNSUN Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 I'm not watching it but our possession stats are good so I'm guessing they're playing attack football at home? Shows respect for us if so. Still we aren't the Saints of old that roll over like we used to so fingers crossed we fight for this. Newcastle winning again. That will be tough on Thursday.
