Haven't the players been told that there's to be no more easy passing along the back line? It just invites a press from opponents who know there's a loose blind pass inside coming at some point and all they have to do is wait for it to arrive. I don't think THB looked forward all game.
Saints look much more dangerous when the ball is slotted through the lines or over the top for pacemen to run on to. Dangerous until it comes to putting the thing in the net that is but at least the ball would be in the right areas and maybe it'll slice off a Saints player's backside and into the net one day.
