What joy do you actually get out of football? There's no sarcasm - he dug a bloody great hole and dumped us in it with his formation. Everybody, other than Ralf, can see that the 5 at the back don't work and stifles us up front. It's pretty simply stuff really. Get him gone.

Baird of the land Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 He's probably kept his job with draw. But my god how inept he is in terms of tactical approach setting up in a 5-4-1 in a winnable game at home Just look at the difference an attacking formation made. 2 points dropped. The positives, it looks like the recrutment department have made smart hires (Mara, Lavia, Bazanu, aribo all look decent) Please let that be the last time bednarek plays for southampton. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Relieved with the point, disappointed he now won’t be sacked, irritated he is so obstinate, tactically inept and does not know his right team.

AlexLaw76 Posted 13 August, 2022 Author Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Great come back, but clearly the 3/5 set up HAS to be ditched (along with Ralph). Just think, literally 8 days ago Valery was deemed better than ABK. Ralph OUT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 A decent manager with these players picks the right formation from the start and we win that game comfortably. Our clever clown outsmarts himself and very nearly throws away all 3 points instead of just the 2. Get him gone now and, if anything, this game only goes to reinforce how clueless he has become. Good fightback to earn a battling point, should have been 3 and signs of what we can do if the set up is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangelyBrown Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Good character to fight back from 2 down. The question is has Ralph learned from this? If he starts with 4 at the back, drops Bednarek, starts Aribo and Mara next time then I think he buys himself a bit more time. If he starts with 5 at the back and Bednarek is in the starting line up he can just fuck off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkSaint Posted 13 August, 2022 Share Posted 13 August, 2022 Pull the camera back, and you can see a ton to be excited about for the season. We have some truly awesome new players. Plus Djenepo revived. Seems clear the team work better w 4 at the back. Apart from anything else, we just have much better players avail midfield. Are Romeu and Aribo better than Bednarek? Well yes they are. Hopefully, the clarity of the difference in our two phases today will allow us to press on w the formation we're better at and make full use of the impressive squad we now have. I really wish we cd have found that final goal. But in the circumstances 2-2 will do, and I'll be looking forward to the next few games. I think we'll surprise one of the big teams we're up against. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
