robbo_11 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I'd take Hendrick off and put Hayden on - every time they're finding space between the defence and midfield with Walcott usually running at our CBs. Wilson is isolated up top, we need Longstaff, Maximin and Almiron to press in a more organised manner. Murphy is confident, but headless - literally no need to run into dead space.

54 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 1-0 down, we've not had a shot, given away possession loads of times very cheaply, looked second best and should be down 3-0. Oh and Pardew is one of the presenters. Good evening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Got a football lesson in that half. Southampton don't have great players, but they know what they are about, closing us down when we have possession, then pinging it around quickly and with bad intent when they have it. This. There's no world beating talent on that team, their main goal threat isn't even playing FFF. They are a well drilled unit and a moment of luck or lapse on their end is the only way we'll score.

TRon Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 We aren’t that shit , these are just very good tbf. Nah We had 10-15min of decent football post conceding, then promptly fell apart and are lucky to only be down by 1. Again, no shape, movement, other than hoofball, ASM carrying the ball up the pitch while getting hacked to shit with one easily saved header on goal in 45min. Whew. Don't think we hoofed it that much tbh, in fact I reckon Bruce will be thinking that's why we are losing. We got caught trying to play the ball out of defence.

Nothing good we do is ever sustainable, and is all just happenstance. The team just makes it up as they go, and so the majority of the time it's all just rubbish.

Klaus Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Southampton are very impressive tbf. Organised and pressing from the front as soon as they lose possession, similar to Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Would like a 4-2-3-1 in the second half. Manquillo-Lascelles-Fernandez-Lewis Shortstaff-Longstaff Murphy-Almiron-Maximin Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hendrick offers nothing! Gives the ball away and fouls every now and then. Bring on Shortstaff or Hayden! Take Sean off as well and try them both. Can't be any worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Sides are well matched, but one has a real manager and therefore plays with intention and strategy. Agreed. Imagine where they’d be if Bruce was managing that squad. They’d have been relegated last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I don't get the feeling there's any leadership on the pitch. Lascelles doesn't really look that confident, Hendrick has the experience in midfield but doesn't impose himself either. If we get a goal, the game changes completely. We lack conviction at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most infuriating is good movement up the pitch into the opposing half that dies out with a whimper as not a single soul other than Wilson has bothered to move with or anticipate receiving the ball in space.

Bruce will be absolutely seething that Almiron's failure to give it the big boot cost us a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Problem is we are trying to play attractive football and positive passing. We simply have no experience in doing that so, you know, it's a work in progress. It is alarming how confident the players are keeping the ball and dribbling out of trouble. Some of our attempted passing is so brainless. Eh? We are trying to spread the ball and play it forward or trying something fancy the majority of times we are giving up possession so cheaply. BUT, yeah to be fair, in reality it is probably just us playing shit football. Bit too optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
