relámpago blanco Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 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. 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. A position he wants to play in Completely irrelevant. If he isn't effective there, it's on the manager to play him where he is effective. He only works wide left. That way he can terrify defender. Playing through the middle he doesn't have the space he needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 He doesn't want to play Striker in a two up top. We've just got a manager with zero nuance. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Would love to know why the commentators think Schar was lucky there when Adams was literally all over him . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was lucky that he was fouled. What else was he going to do with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Seeing Steve Bruce standing there watching on and swaying like a XXXL Shirt on a washing line is really pissing me off. Had a manic look in his eyes before. Clearly was told his half time pack of Blue Ribands had been opened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon 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.

Theregulars 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 He will probs take off almiron for Hayden at HT and shift Hendrick wide. It’s been clueless today - Bruce shown up for the dinosaur he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Why the fuck is Hendricks playing? Absolutely fucking Tosser. He’s supposed to connect our defence with midfield and anytime our defenders has the ball this stupid fucking cunt follows the guy who is marking him so he’s never in space, one time I saw him follow the man across the pitch then back again. He then comes out and makes the stupid tackle in middle of the field for no reason. Absolute fucking waste of fucking space man. Why is no one passing the ball? Every time we do get it they try and take the man closing them down instead of making the simple pass and creating space, they lose the ball every single time. It’s like they haven’t learnt from previous games or the goal we conceded in this game. Our heads are down, we aren’t closing down anyone in possession, we are make half hearted tackles, we lost this game within the first 10 minutes, 2nd time this has happened this season.

Toon No9 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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk 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.
