Burnley vs Saints - Match Thread

Our centre backs aren't intelligent enough to play 5 at the back. They always get lost and can't decide who is marking and who should be the free man. We have to play 4-2-3-1 / 4-2-2-2 or we will get stuffed every game. Not signing a decent centre back will cost us dear come the end of the season.

What a start to the season... :mcinnes:

 

Thiiiiiiings can only get better.....

 

Have to hope before the European window goes that we can keep the likes of Boufal and Cedric as we may well need them this season. I hope Danso can improve the defence.

Another reason we needed a new centre-back is that when Gunn is tested he's a solid, yet unspectacular goalkeeper. We need someone between the posts who can pull off some unbelievable saves with this defence, like we've seen Pope and Heaton pull off for Burnley in the past, but with Gunn he's just going to get beaten once the defence is inevitably breached.

Where do you start? Naive in the transfer market and then a terrible team sheet from the supposedly great Ralph. It's only one game in, but as I said last season, it's the manner of the performance that is so shocking and indicative of a real struggle again this season.
Any particular reason why you waited until we were 3-0 down to comment on how poor the team sheet was?
