gio1saints Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Sounds old fashioned of me but I kind of like pre season when you have players trying to prove why they should start. Only players I see doing that authentically in this preseason to date are Yuki, Tyler and Sam Amo. The rest kind of strolling around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) 13 minutes ago, macca155 said: Taylor is too slow to play LB in the Premier League, he'll get ripped apart and offers zero support to Edozie. Let's hope KWP can slot in there if no one buys him. Rest of the defence is ok. Downes and Smallbone connecting well. Problem is Aribo, Edozie, and Armstrong look exactly like they were in the Premier league last time. Need a bit of zip in the 2nd half I have no axe to grind as I haven't seen him actually play, but he has played 161 games in the Prem.....he is not an inexperienced PL player.

Disco Stu Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Our tempo is still far too slow at the moment. I've been watching the other Premier League teams pre-seasons and we're noticably more ponderous. Still lacking finishers and that focal point up front. Right now, Dibling is probably best placed to play that role. Edited August 3 by Disco Stu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodymatt Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Dibling is a player, very impressive off the bench today. His ability to beat a man without looking like he’s out of second gear is quite impressive. Sam Amo-Ameyaw is currently our best winger too. Dribbles like Edozie but looks like he’s got more of an idea about what to do with it after he beats his man. BBD looks sharp, did all the simple things well. Looking forward to seeing more minutes from him over the remaining friendlies. Edited August 3 by goodymatt 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very important talent for Saints. He has certainly shown real maturity and skill. I hope he features but remember other teams will already know all about him, and will plan accordingly. I guarantee he's been tracked by a lot of them. If he starts nutmegging and sliding past Prem defenders, he'll have to watch his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst defence in the league (which will probably be us) will know all about Haaland and how he plays and plan accordingly but he'll find a way round whatever plan we put in place.

Give it to Ron Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Never needed to get out of 3rd gear, Suga and Charlie Taylor decent with CT balance on left. Suga was outlet with nothing ahead of him. Smallbone frustrating not showing enough. Aribo great on ball but we had no threat. Edozie who I like just looks lost no confidence to go by any one should have scored. Dibling/SAA/Diaz looked more of a threat. poor crowd but Millwall terrible side we strolled there via Waterloo Fire Station pub , Borough Market Southwark Tavern , no trouble or any sign of a skate stinking out the place. Need to improve first team but we all know that. Goalkeeper, Flyn cover, wide and a forward to compete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Seeing the progress evident in Tyler Dibling I’m thinking our offensive midfielder issue is already resolved. If O’Riley is not coming we’ve got Tyler and he does not cost £25m plus £60k pw. Spend that on a better keeper and a bona fide centre forward please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Signing Rothwell to block the pathway of a youngster didn't work.

I didn't watch the game so it's hard for me to comment but there's a world of difference between pre-season friendlies and competitive games. Personally I wouldn't make any kind of judgement, good or bad, on the basis of a pre-season friendly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
