That stands him in great stead for the Premier league and hopefully means he doesn't need much of a transition to get used to the pace of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first two pre season games and thought he didn’t look sharp, but his best moments of those games seemed to me to be when the game got a bit of tempo to it and he was in faster, tighter situations. I only saw the second half tonight but I very much liked what I saw from him, I was impressed. Against proper PL sides in a league game is another level yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do. Hopefully lots. Romeu second half also looked to be playing more forward than previously too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintrich Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Aribo looked great, looks like the type of player that looks better in a faster paced game, a bit like how Schneiderlin looked twice as good in the prem as he did in the championship and league one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Great performance considering it was largely our reserves. Even first half we were ok, not great but also not bad either. Second half we stepped it up from the off and it took about 15 minutes for Monaco to even vaguely get a passage of possession. Some good performances from a few of the fringe players like Valery and Djenepo. Then the subs gave us even more impetuous and we scored a couple of excellent goals. An enjoyable evening back at St Mary's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Can we geolocate that seat - is it a club hospitality one? As for the game, I enjoyed it. I thought Romeu looked a lot better than the end of last season, he retains and uses the ball so well. Nobody had a bad game although I thought Redmond and KWP didn't look quite sharp enough, and I presume that was why the former didn't go on the pre-season tour. Valery's positioning was a bit slack occasionally, but his forward runs can really open up a side. Everything looked so much sharper than the previous friendly match footage I've seen, so let's hope the last friendly on Saturday shows equal improvement, and it's a shame I'm missing it through other commitments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARCELONASAINT Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Just back from the game, first half we were ok but again lacked any creativity. McCarthy can't kick for shit and should be nowhere near the starting 11. Second half not sure what Ralph had said at half time but it worked from the off, we were sharper, hungrier and pressing Monaco all over. Pleased for Adam Armstrong. Stu Armstrong, JWP and Aribo absolute class, these 3 are our game changers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Armstrong, JWP and Aribo absolute class, these 3 are our game changers! The difference was he bought Aribo and several of the 1st 11 on! I spent some time with Bazunu and the other new ‘Keeper prior to the game. Both seemed decent guys. Gavin was not as big (build) as I’d expected. Tall but slim. Valery looked overweight as did Stephens. Romeu was one of the few positives in the first half, along with Diallo. Lyanco did OK too but doesn’t seem overly keen on getting back after losing position in the middle of the park which he did twice. Big change in the 2nd half with the addition of guys who’ll probably start at Spurs. Good high intensity workout and quite impressive (2nd half). Aribo was super impressive. Seemed to be playing up top pretty much. I’d assumed he was more a midfielder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Aribo looked decent in his cameo, Djenepo was okay-ish at wing back and it was good to see Perraud back and in a role which suits him. Diallo also looked decent at times I thought.

davefizzy14 Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 (edited) Very promising performance tonight. Aribo, Prowsey, KWP and Stuart Armstrong class second half. Romeu was superb as was Diallo. Djenepo and Redmond were very good aswell. More of the same on Saturday hopefully. Pleased for Adam Armstrong to get another goal.

The Juice Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Whilst Aribo, Stewie and JWP changed the game, I thought Valery was MOTM overall.

SNSUN Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 From reading about the game on here, I deduce the following: Valery had a MOTM performance but was also crap and had to rectify his own mistakes, Adam Armstrong was rubbish but also scored a good goal and could be the answer to our goalscoring problems this season, Our first half performance was both very good and rubbish And Levi Colwill is definitely joining us because he posted a picture of himself at St Marys but isn't because he posted a picture of himself at St Mary's.

Give it to Ron Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 So first half was not great Armstrong made a lot of runs not picked out Romeu in particular took too long to play him in. Second half upped it a lot and I thought Valery had good game and as mentioned looked a bit chunkier. Lyanco kept selling himself on half way not great. Diallo grew into it well , Stephens did ok but subs really turned it round and like Aribo he actually picked out people in the box. Redmond first game played 3 positions but didn’t look happy in any really. 1 piece of action and Bella had good turn of pace to cover. 3rd goal was good but shows how short with no forwards on last 10-15. We have some great fans moaning at Tella ….it was KWP!! Monaco we’re terrible Minmino ran around a lot didn’t seem as though we missed out on him really lightweight. We won played well second half but need more first team not squad - Aribo impressed me a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 The next stage of JWP's development is to make those late, edge of the box runs and get some more open play goals. We know he's got the technique, its just about executing them in the Premier League. He can then become a Beckham/Lampard hybrid. KWP/Aribo down the right excites me too. Two ball carriers with nice footwork and athleticism who can cause some real problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verlaine1979 Posted 28 July, 2022 Share Posted 28 July, 2022 In Aribo have we finally found another attacking midfielder who plays with his head up?

From where you were sat did it look like any of the new coaching team were getting more involved? One negative - why on earth did the club have so many stewards guarding the Itchen North spending the whole game jumping on anyone who stood , its a small area that creates some atmosphere with thousands of empty seats elsewhere for those who wanted to sit, seems like the club just want to cause trouble as they're already trying to break up that area by restricting sales of season tickets, shame to lose one of the few areas that actually creates some atmosphere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
