St Lej Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 Cedric can’t even throw it in to one of our players. What the **** is wrong with this team? The manager is what's wrong with this team. Everyone knows it, but the board refuse to do anything about it. It's quite ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 The Bertrand/Tadic combination was one of the most threatening aspects of our attacking play, so it's nice to see us shove Redmond out on the left with Bertrand instead Redmond on the left, Tadic on the right. What's that definition of insanity again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronCitySaint Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 The manager must have got a bit afraid of the recent winning and has changed the team and tactics accordingly. The players have been useless but they must be stunned and confused by the constant changing of things that are actually working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 A point takes us up to 16th as it stands (and 15th if Huddersfield go on to lose), I'd take that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoPints Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 One of the worst half's of the season and there's lots of competition for that accolade. No attempt at passing, just lumping the ball about in the hope that it reaches a Saints player which it rarely does. No attacking threat. Complete and utter ********.

OldNick Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 If we were playing against Everton or a bigger named team who were where Burnley in the table, the comments would not be so negative. We are away against a tam a lot higher in the league, and so 0-0 is not too bad at present.

austsaint Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 I hate being negative but that was an awful half of Football - no speed or creativity in attack. Would it be ok with the JWP fans if we replaced him with Sims? And bring Boufal on for Redmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmike25 Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 At least we're in the game. However Bertrand/Cedric not playing that well, so we're camped inside our half and under pressure. Hoedt/Stephens coping well but can sense a mistake isn't far away. Romeu looks clumsy, Lemina classy, Carillo has had no service. Tadic had a decent shot but sloppy in possesion, Redmond slows us down on the left, keeps cutting in and not doing anything. Burnley - limited but not having to break a sweat to look the more dominant team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 What a bore-fest! We've not really been under that much pressure, but neither have we exerted that much pressure on them either. Our only real chance via Tadic, who has not done much else. Redmond is Redmond. Makes the wrong choices often and doesn't really offer much threat, especially playing alonside Bertrand on the left, when Tadic has often formed an understanding with Bertrand and looks hopeless instead. Bring on Hojbjerg for either Redmond or Ward-Prowse to take control of the midfield. Bring on Simms for the other one to increase the forward momentum and provide some support for Carillo, who has been totally isolated up top. A typically inept team choice and tactics from the Argie clown once again. We do have a chance of scoring against Burnley and sneaking the win, but then again, they have every chance of winning too as things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 24 February, 2018 Share Posted 24 February, 2018 i feel like carrillo is how i would play as a footballer at the top level. run around like a headless chicken chasing the ball. no pace, not strong enough to win a header, haven't seen anything to suggest the guy can shoot, poor feet to even beat a man. a lucky assist against west brom last week doesn't do enough.

Just now when JWP picked the ball up in space on the right about 40 yards out, there must've been of our 5 players ahead of him, and they were all just standing still looking at him.
