Damn, I had Lord D loves a good swallow (as long as he has World Cup medals)
-
Headlines tomorrow? “Phillips turns the screw” ”Pound Sterling”
-
Redmond, I mean Sterling!!!
-
That’s ok, Lord Ducky loves trannies...
-
Been a bit Saintsy, all over them, couldn’t capitalise and Croatia have rode the storm and now look the more likely to score.
-
Damn, shame England don’t know of an English freekick specialist...
-
That was a terrible pen. I said to my son, “why have they got Hoj taking it, his shooting is terrible, he won’t score”.

Schrodinger's JWP He's either Shit and minces around sideways and backwards or A key Saints player that badly needs a rest You don't know which one until he steps on the pitch
-
You'd think that having missed that penalty in 1996 and the all of England bemoaning that penalties eliminated England. Looking back and knowing that Venables left Le Tiss out, probably the best penalty taker in the world at that point, he'd want a guy like JWP that can take free kicks and penalties so the likes of him don't have to when others bottle it.

Southampton - A statistical analysis (20/21 edition)
OttawaSaint replied to TWar's topic in The Saints
Can you send this to the club? I’m sure they’ve have their own analysis but they don’t seem to follow it with the team selections, tactics and formations we’ve seen. -
😂 State of this lot. Season’s over, take a break from the bellendry.
-
Or both!

City were fucking shit.

League position next season...

Bit like our lot in the FA Cup semi then. Ten mins left and they are trotting around thinking about what to order for dinner that night.

The thing that concerns me the most is that defensively we’re an utter shambles. That should be the first thing a coach/manager does, get us difficult to beat, solid at the back. Ralph doesn’t do this, stubbornly putting JWP and Arsmstrong/Diallo in front of the CBs and watches teams just walk through us without adapting, Then there’s the frailty of the team. Look at all the goals we’ve conceded, almost 70% of the replays of those goals starts with us on the ball. We either take a throw in and give it straight to them or have a brain cramp and give it to them or try to pass it out and give it away. This sort of thing needs to be addressed in training. Instead we pass it around and when an opportunity presents itself the players are too knackered to make the killer pass/decision/shot. Why is this, why are we not fit enough? Yes we had injuries and a tight schedule but so did the other teams and I don’t see them making as many basic errors as us. That’s got to do with how Ralph is running training/matches etc and the personnel he picks. His use of subs is diabolical. His team selections nonsensical. Adams was buzzing after scoring and assisting for Scotland, Ralph let him cool off on the bench while Redmond played up front. The young lad Jankiwitz (sp) had that mare up at OT. Ralph had plenty of opportunities to rehabilitate him and give him some minutes and get his confidence back. Instead he blanked the poor kid. The keeper situation. Fraser saves a penalty, he then brings in Calamity Alex. None of this makes any sense.

Shit I remember that. City drew 2-2 at Liverpool and thought it was enough, we drew 0-0 with Wimbledon. I remember a tense last 10 minutes. If Wimbledon or City scored we’d have dropped. City players were celebrating at the final whistle but didn’t realize they were down.
-
Ummm. What? Player of the season getting subbed off?
-
I watch a lot of games to see the other teams in action and no-one, not even the fodder in the bottom 3 make as many cockups as us. It’s like 2-3 a game. It’s not even close either. If you were to watch back every goal we’ve conceded this year 70% of the replays probably start with us on the ball. Why are we this sloppy?
-
Yep. If you actually know a thing or two about football and are pissed off at a starting lineup the hipster brigade on here who probably scoff a people in coffee shops while drinking some bullshit half calf-soy organic Bolivian bean and acting all superior will call you a “moaner”. Not moaners, it’s just clear Redmond and McCarthy should be nowhere near an EPL squad.
-
So the “moaners” were right! Who’d have thought it? Egg all over the faces of the forum experts...
-
Wow, awesome McCarthy...
-
Our finishing again is very wasteful. Need to bury teams when we get the chance.
-
Ohhh close from KWP.
-
Careful! Forum experts say trust Ralph, a penalty save doesn’t matter...
