Red Posted 1 January, 2020 Share Posted 1 January, 2020 I actually think we have dropped a lot of the high intensity pressing that we heard about and tried to implement at the start. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk No, we did that when we were very poor and tried to just defend. I think we have found a balance between the two, found a formation that suits us and players, and some of the player have found form (Ings, Mac, Bed, Jack, JWP etc.), and (just my opinion) Ralph thought **** this defensive mentality - I'm going to get sacked anyway, so let's get more aggressive. BTW - you can hear him all game shouting at players - mainly Redders to get his skates on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 1 January, 2020 Share Posted 1 January, 2020 Spurs player dives, gives himself a free kick, grabs ball in hands and takes it quick and gives it away. Ref brings it back. Ref is weak, should have called handball on him or waved play on when he gave it back to us. Ref is itching to give spurs every chance of winning this game.

VectisSaint Posted 1 January, 2020 Share Posted 1 January, 2020 What's changed in Ralph's style? We seem to actually be showing signs of what he promised, is it Kitzbichler? Or has he not arrived yet? Arrived months ago. But its quite likely he started to influence things a few weeks ago. Something changed. We started to look organised, especially in defence.

OttawaSaint Posted 1 January, 2020 Share Posted 1 January, 2020 Spurs just fouled JWP in a way that the ref has been giving free kicks for all day. Play on, spurs break 4 on 3. This is how refs cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney_saint Posted 1 January, 2020 Share Posted 1 January, 2020 Can't remember which game it was, but there was one in the last week or so almost exactly like that where the penalty was given. What a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDog07 Posted 1 January, 2020 Share Posted 1 January, 2020 Surely it doesn’t matter how fast the ball is travelling? The bottom line is, your hand shouldn’t be waving about your head, full stop?

sydney_saint Posted 1 January, 2020 Share Posted 1 January, 2020 I generally have a reasonable amount of respect for refs and the job that they do. I am a former ref as well so am a little bit more empathetic. That respect and empathy does not extend to Mike Dean who I am appalled is still allowed to ref at this level. This is not just about Saints, every game I have seen him ref he gives the vast majority of decisions to the big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
