Attacking then passing back to the goalkeeper and then kicking outside the pitch

That’s was a passage of play that sums up Saints under Ralph. Win the ball, get plenty of numbers up around their penalty area, and it’s back at our goalkeeper within ten seconds. Cowardly football.

That was classic Ralphball...we actually got it into an attacking area and then just stopped and slowly played the ball all the way back to Baz so he could hump it upfield to...City.

We do this every game, why? 

It makes no sense.

And also really boring and frustrating to watch.

He isn't, we zonally mark. Haaland is just stood in the area near him.

What is the point of zonal marking? An attacker runs from one zone to another so the bloke who might have been marking him ends up marking nobody. Meanwhile the attacker has run into another zone and chances are he'll not be picked up cos nobody sees him coming. Weird system.

Look like a team not playing for the coach. 

do we?

To me we Look like a team trying their best, but are simply not good enough. Look like a team desperately needing its forwards to do something, to keep the ball, take pressure of defence.

Che and Armstrong have been useless. They do nothing.

In their defence, they have had zero service today. RH has got the front 4 pushing right up to try and stop City playing out from the back, but it's still far too easy for them. There is literally no link between CM and attack. Nothing.
