The Juice Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 is it just me? I find this all so infuriating. Ralph a professional manager so who am I to say? but we need to drop this three CB thing. The system does not work and leaves us overexposed through the middle. Lavia is a class class act but is spending his time chasing two/three players. Adams is a horrible player, this is a hill I will die on. I'm bored of 'strikers who work hard' he simply does not have a consistent quality to be a premier league striker. Everything breaks down through him. For me, we'd be better putting Aribo in there, at least he'd hold up the ball and bring Stewie, JWP and Moi into the game. It seems baffling to me how simply this all is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shance Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Absolutely no idea where our goals are coming from this season. We are completely toothless up front. This ref has been shocking for us. Giving Leeds 50/50's and on the whole allowing them to kick the fuck out of our players. The commentators have done nothing but suck Leeds' dick the entire half when all I've see is two really poor teams. Honestly, we need a change of manager way before christmas or we are bang in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney_saint Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 (edited) I know it's very popular to put the boot into Djenepo. And yeah he isn't good enough for us. But he gets twice as much stick as Elyounoussi, and yet t I would have him in the side every week over Moi. Djenepo at least he looks like he might occasionally make something happen like he did against Spurs. Moi goes missing for 30 minutes at a time, and then pops up to do a weak ball into the box.

Suhari Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Okay. Not terrible. Lacking some cutting edge, but we're used to that. Moi has picked up some decent positions, but terrible end product. Let's get Aribo on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Agree with bringing on Romeu and Aribo. I am also wondering why Redmond isn't in the side. Seems to me we need every single attacking player we can find, we are toothless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Leeds looking as on top and the home side. I don’t think we’ve had one shot on target which is f-big criminal at home. But Ketchup looks really good as does Lavia again. We desperately need more in attack, so hopefully Ralph has a plan to use Aribo and another attacking player taking off Bednarek.

The Cat Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Must be different watching the game in the ground because contrary to the moaners on here who never seem to go to games I think we've played ok. Could have done with a couple of those shots being on target but other than a period after the second water break when Leeds controlled possession we have been alright. 1 cracking save from Bazunu. Thought Adams has shown why he should play ahead of Armstrong with some strong hold up play. The Djenepo spin followed by the Ward Prowse flick and volley pass was exquisite. Looking forward to seeing Aribo come on and run at them. Ref has been a bit shit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 I think the ref should make Leeds change their shorts because several players have done double-takes looking at pass options.

NewYorkSaint Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 For a quick break from our scheduled moaning, I'm pretty excited at the potential of ABK. That was a heartstopping moment when he did his forward surge. If that had gone in, the whole commentary here wd be pretty different. Lavia is also pretty special. And Djenepo had a great half. That's three big pluses compared to last year. Plus Bazunu. Wd love to see Ariba on second half. C'mon Saints. You've got this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Ralph being the tactical master that he is, I fully expect Yan Valery to be getting subbed on at half time for an attacking player.
