coalman Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 When we become ponderous in attack is usually when we stop feeding the players bombing past on the overlap. So many times there was a player running through and the player in possession stopped and went backward. We're making the runs. Just not feeding them.

Saints foreva Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Really really poor second half from us. So much for seeing a reaction from Saturday's piss poor performance. Personally, I think we look a lot better with KWP at RB and Perraud at LB. Need to go back to this on Sunday and bounce back from these two awful showings with a comfortable win. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLaw76 Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 (edited) Perfect example of us being a 'streaky team' and nothing more really. We have been on a good run, but now it is clear that teams have worked out how to defend against us. It happened last year and will happen again. Essentially, Howe got one over Ralph (who wold have thought, eh?). He clearly set up in a way to defend with a back 10 and very narrow. We generally rotate the ball in the inside left/right positions. When we give the ball away, oppositions break - quickly. I would not be surprised if we fail to beat Watford. I think we are taking something away from the team when we shunt Perraud out for Livramento. Edited 10 March, 2022 by AlexLaw76 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical that in this instance it was caused by Newcastle skiving off a match so they could make new singings, and then two of their main signings score their first goals against us. I'm sure Ralph's pre match chat did nothing to motivate the Newcastle players mind... The most galling thing was that we were not allowed to strengthen our team over the same period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Pathetic performance. Cant deal with direct balls which we knew was their only real outlet. Apart from KWP and Armstrong, cant put a positive on anybodys performance. Broja looked disinterested, but has been pretty poor for the last number of games. A word on Newcastle, they're making the most of what they have, but they've literally become peak Burnley. Just pumping long balls and hoping for the best....and embarassingly it worked. They didnt half waste some time with a heap of anonymous 'injuries' and Kevin Friend bought aload of nothing fouls (he was as pathetic as we were) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 We looked to play lots of patient, passing build up, waiting for our opportunity. And in the first half we came back into it and got the goal. But the playbook doesn;t seem to have a page on tall folk, who can head or peel away at set pieces to head across goal. That patient, passing play to get the equaliser didn't really offer much as newcastle dealt with it comfortably as they dropped back. We had no real target man to put balls into. Djenepo looks lively with not long to go. AA also looked lively. But there wasn;t much linking them together to actually create. We did get a few nearly moments to get the equaliser - Liv's cross/shot, adams, Stu at the end. And Adamshit the bar before the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Scott Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 My thoughts: - Why has Ralph put the shackles on livramento? - Watching us play triangles at the back all game is so infuriating to watch. - Our players seem incessant on taking four or five touches everytime they touch the ball making it easy for the opposition to defend against us. - No desire all over the pitch.

Micky Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Pretty rubbish to be quite honest, we may have had tons of the ball but we were absolutely toothless up top. That wasn't a bad day at the office, it smacked of the back end of last season. Can't believe after all our whinging about them buying new players we've gone and lost it. Our bench options today were woeful as well, Adam Armstrong is not close to being premiere league quality, Shane Long has scored his goal this season and as for Jneppo, just why? Everyone of those players made us weaker tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northam soul Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 Not that we were great but I saw 4 occasions where our player was getting his shirt pulled off his back in their penalty area. Guess VAR can’t be bothered with that . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 We can moan about the cost of their reinforcements, or whether they cheated to get the original game postponed, but the fact is they were marginally better than us tonight and our defence is what lost is the game. Let’s not act like they’ve pumped a Man City-esque amount of money into their team, they’re still pretty crap, and they had a lot of their better players out still. We had too many 6 out of 10 performances tonight, and Newcastle just wanted it more. Have we got a bit too complacent and started to believe the hype perhaps? Definitely think Salisu was rushed back too quickly for this game, almost as if Ralph was too emotional over the postponement that he couldn’t afford another repeat of the Villa result. Shame if our season just fizzles out after the run we’ve had of late. Lose the City game and it’ll all feel rather depressing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not convinced that we play a right back at left and no left back at all ? strange not as if anyone needs a rest.I just feel as afan frustrated and flat atm, the spark has gone from a good period of not being beaten,hope it comes back soon and the team can look re-energized with purpose.

Sheaf Saint Posted 10 March, 2022 Share Posted 10 March, 2022 (edited) Well I didn't think the overall performance was quite as bad as some here are making out. We had plenty of the ball and by the end we had had the much better chances. Newcastle, apart from the goals and that very brief spell shortly after their second, created next to nothing themselves and didn't really 'deserve' to win that. Just fucking typical that it would be the new signings who got the goals for them, but we weren't terrible by any means. I echo what others are saying about Tino. He looks jaded and when we have a decent LB available, KWP would be a much better option on the right. Broja blows hot and cold, and he's currently blowing cold. Didn't get into this game at all. A Armstrong improved our attacking play whenh he replaced him. On another day, Che's volley goes in and Salisu's header doesn't get saved, and we win 3-2 having had the better of the play. Just one of those things really. Some of you need to have a serious word with yourselves about your catastrophic bed-wetting.

We didn't seem to come out in the second half with any real belief, the best chances came on 90 mins plus.
