We just don't get it forward quick enough (amongst other glaring issues). 

Interesting comment in WHU v Chelsea game re Maresca who emphasises possession first and foremost but leaves it to the players to take responsibility to get it forward if there is an obvious opening.

Lallana was actually decent there 

Not sure why that should be a surprise. Departure notwithstanding he was a very very good player for us in his first spell.

No ones denying that he was good ten years ago, he doesn't have the legs now but can still do an amazing pass

A bit unfair to compare the two sets of players.  It shows how difficult it is to rely on someone like Stephens and Bednarek to make it work on skill and nous.

Alan Ball never had the legs back in the day but he always knew where to be, at the right time and invariably picked the right pass without running his legs off.

Perhaps, but the point I'm making is that its almost certainly a facet of Russball which at this level we may have not adapted to. Either that or the players are erring on the side caution and not being 'brave' enough, to coin a phrase.

Commentator seems very knowledgeable, no idea who it is though. He's affiliated with Ipswich, but rare to hear someone provide some actual insight.

If it's what I'm watching then it's Darren Ambrose, ex Ipswich but really good pundit

Fucking wake up saints 


Id be tempted to bring big Lesley on already. Getting completely overrun in midfield 

Yes we need some strength in midfield too many lightweights
