sydney_saint Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 Elyounnoussi represents everything with our decline. He was considered not good enough and was hauled off on loan. A bad signing, we move on. Except he didn't. He has somehow become 'first name on the teamsheet' despite mediocre to poor performances. He's just as crap as when we shoved him out on loan. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 It's not that individual errors are the only problem: I simply can't see what the gameplan is. Do we press? Nope. Sit deep and counter quickly? Nope. Play hell-for-leather and try to outscore? Nope. Kick lumps out of them? Nope. Can someone with more tactical insight than be help me understand what our gameplan is? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 Aimless hoofball. We haven't completed 100 passes. This is Brantfoot-esque. No hope of survival with this set up. Our better players will already be instructing thier agents to plot an exit strategy in the summer - if not next month. Bleak. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 Apparently we are on a run of easy/easier games? Brighton look about three levels above us and we made hard work of L1 oppo the other night. No easy games in the Prem and with our squad we are fecked. Guess the spreadsheet must be rapidly turning from 'buy' to'sell' in the window. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archers Road Stand Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 Players aren't fit to wear the shirt.

NewYorkSaint Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 The only thing you could say in Saints defense is that both goals had a freak quality to them. Gazunu would save the first 99/100. And the second was a freak own goal. Great cross, but v unlucky tip of the ball onto Perraud's legs. But our play in possession was only rarely good. Until we get our best players back, we're clearly going to struggle. I'd bring on Stu for Dalio. Next goal crucial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal was one of those things. But when it comes to Perraud, everyone seems to love him on here. I don't get it.

AngusHyd Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 So many dreadful performances out there, near on impossible to pick any individual players out. Midfield have been awful, can’t pass, tackle or break up play. Defence weak and all over the place. Bazunu, the less said the better fml. Edozie the only bright spark in the side and we need to be getting the ball to him constantly. Not sure what Jones does to sort out this crap although Diallo (who should have tracked Lallana for the first goal) off for AMN, Djenepo for Stuart Armstrong might sure up the midfield a bit. Should at least make it harder for them to pass it around the middle of the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1ex2001 Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 (edited) So as predicted Jones has us playing hoof ball with a striker who is about of much of an aerial threat as an old lady in a wheel chair. Everyone said his style didn’t suit the club/squad and he would be massively out of his depth and low and behold it comes true.
