Southampton 2-0 Newcastle United - 06/11/2020 - post match from pg18


Recommended Posts

Playing some decent football atm. Longstaff looks sharp.

 

What? :lol:

 

Writing on phone so don't want to elaborate too much. Not saying hes played particularly well, but he seems a little sharper or more rapid than he's been ever since coming back from his injury. He hasn't run around with the Shola stroll today.

 

I think the opposite. Been watching him and hendrick off the ball and neither of them give a shit. Jog jog, walk, jog, stop.

 

Fair enough. I haven't paid any special attention to him. Was just a thought I got when i saw him on the ball during the short decent spell we had just after going behind.

Can't tackle, can't pass, offers fuck all.

 

Jeff fucking Hendrick.

 

I honestly have 0 idea how he starts every week, he just runs around doing the grand sum of fuck all.

 

Probably a good old fashioned grafter in Brucies eyes.

He’s slower than Shelvey too.

These are just more organised than us

 

Much more lethal on the break.

 

Much more purposeful with their movement and passing in general.

 

Yup. They've got much better shape, feel like we've had a few glimpse's of decent movement, just not as cohesive as Southampton.

Would be interested to see how many times Max has given away possession, he seems to be reverting to his careless reputation that he had in France.

That seems to have happened ever since Bruce decided to play him in the middle.

Your not seriously saying it's his fault?

Imagine that, a Decent Manager vs an almost retired Fat PE Teacher.

He’s being played in a position completely ruining his game. Of course he’s giving the ball away as nobody is within 40 yards of him.

Pressing isnt working. The arrogance of Bruce to sit off a patched up Everton and trying to press a side like Southampton.

 

This is the game for sitting in and counter attacking. We are leaving them far too much space.

Aye. No surprise really when they’ve got a proper manager in the dugout

We actually have a half decent team.  However we have an awful manager/coach.  We will be in the bottom three or thereabouts come Christmas because of Bruce.

Hendrick boils my piss so much.

 

Yep. He's fucking awful.

 

He and Longstaff are hiding in the midfield. Especially Hendrick, doing that thing where a player will make it look like they're trying to find space to make themselves available but really he's hiding in and around opposition players so he's not available to receive the ball and inevitably fuck up. So non-committal and lacking courage or responsibility. Worst thing is, despite the fact he does absolutely nothing in a forward sense, when the ball is turned over, he's somehow always behind play and chasing back.

 

They have a plan and know what they're all supposed to be doing.

 

We just go out there winging it. No matter who plays for us it always looks like this.
