M271 Posted 21 April, 2022 Share Posted 21 April, 2022 I'm glad that we got the extra 3 points from the Arsenal game, can see both Everton and Burnley getting another 9 points each before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 21 April, 2022 Share Posted 21 April, 2022 (edited) Let’s not get too dramatic about a game that literally means nothing. We’ve stayed up again with absolutely zero issue, with no investment and some good days against the big teams. With our structure, we can’t ask for much more. There’s incredibly obvious areas for us to improve this Summer, hopefully the new owners allow it to happen.

Sheaf Saint Posted 21 April, 2022 Share Posted 21 April, 2022 Well I kinda expected us to lose tonight but I didn't think the performance would be this bad. Everything has gone to shit since Salisu got injured and Broja stopped trying. It's easy to blame Ralph but anyone who has to select a CB combination from Bednarek, Stephens, Lyanco and Valery immediately has their hands tied. In CM, Romeu looks a shadow of the player he was during our decent run, and Stu & Ely just don't create enough. Let's face it - we have a severely limited squad cobbled together on a shoestring budget, and any manager would struggle to get them playing consistently well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 21 April, 2022 Share Posted 21 April, 2022 Lyanco just doesn't look convincing to me, remember him getting bullied by Oli McBurnie on his debut away to Sheff Utd, these sort of fixtures not ideal for him , I'd rather play Stephens 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite true though is it. We did go on a very good run which saw us have a slim opportunity of challenging for Europe. However it all came undone with that horrendous week of losses to Villa, Newcastle and Watford. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Ralph Posted 21 April, 2022 Share Posted 21 April, 2022 There does need to be some perspective. We haven’t had a pot to piss in. Our back three cost £12m and our midfield cost £5m. We should be in the bottom 3 in reality. Disappointing performance but perspective required. Hopefully next year with some investment…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 21 April, 2022 Share Posted 21 April, 2022 Terrible, Terrible, Terrible. Awful. Equally as bad as West Brom last year, if not worse. We looked out of our depth, against Burnley. Burnley have scored the least goals and created less chances than anyone else in the league, yet they could have had 4 or 5 against us. It's horrific and that sort of performance needs a complete root and branch reset because that isn't just 'a bad day', that was fundamentally flawed all the way through it. We know we've got shortcomings and players of very low quality in certain areas, but tactically that was a true horror show. Something for Halloween viewing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 21 April, 2022 Share Posted 21 April, 2022 I've lost count of the number of seasons we've more or less secured safety then gone off the boil. Very frustrating from a supporter's point of view. Agree that the manager has to take a lion's share of the blame for tolerating players that are obviously not putting in 100%. Only consolation is that Everton fans will be equally pissed off with that Saints performance. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
