Saint_clark Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 Not sure why we've changed formation again either. Stick Mara up top playing on the shoulder, get Aribo on the right wing and Armstrong on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 Can we please shithouse a 1-0 win like Wolves and Villa did to us? I’ll happily be under the cosh all of the second half if only we can win. It always feel like when we win we have to work hard for it and usually we deserve it, but winning against the run of play isn’t our thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkSaint Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 Here's another way to think about the first half. Ralph took the risk many have been calling for, and played a full suite of young, exciting players. Is it really realistic to think they'd instantly gel? We've seen lots of quick glimpses of potential. And we're still level. The more this goes on, their confidence will grow. A goal could be transformative. We came close. It's just way too early to start slamming this effort. We're going for it. There's still every chance of a second half with fewer nervous errors and a Saints goal or two. Stop whinging and give these kids that chance!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWP and co. are hell bent on passing back or scuffing it to the oppo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 (edited) Frantic in defense and slow in possession. It's gone mostly as I expected in terms of our inability to control the game. Counter-attacking is arguably the right way to go given we don't have a proper CDM to help us take control of the midfield. We need to see more from the forward players, better and quicker decision making. Edited 1 October, 2022 by Disco Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 I'd consider bringing on Armstrong for Mara. Mara's done brilliantly off the ball but Everton haven't had enough possession to justify having that kind Long 2.0 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good point, but Ralphs sides have always had that morale boosting win where everything seems to click throughout his time here - then we revert to type.

Err, it’s not good but you’ve got a couple things wrong there. Armstrong has been one of our better players showing some creativity. The team selection makes no difference - we always play the same boring, ponderous tactics and JWP is complicit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 If we win this 1-0 in the last minute, I'll call it a great day. I've said before, I could not care less what brand of football is played or how boring the game is as long as we get a win. Same sentiments if we go all guns blazing, play epic football and lose, in that case it's a horrible day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint NL Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 Everton look the more likely to score, but haven't really troubled the keeper. Saints (not for the first time) can't strong two passes together. This is not a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 re: Stream, I don't know if it helps anyone else but it works for me, those of you with an iPad download Live Player - media streaming, then search for Southampton or whatever the home team is when we're playing away. It's very adverty and buffers a lot (for me but then my iPad is about 9 years old) but it worked sporadically in that first half and some games are better than others.

GDog07 Posted 1 October, 2022 Share Posted 1 October, 2022 Seriously, Edozie. Bring him on, give him more than five minutes. He’s shown more attacking intent than anyone in our last two matches and has had two subs appearances of 10 and 20mins. Give him 45, the guy had a good international break, what does he have to do to get more than 5mins to produce a miracle when we are chasing games?
