Chez Posted 3 October, 2020 Share Posted 3 October, 2020 3 hours ago, Ex Lion Tamer said: It's the likelihood of getting assists based on their general play. For all that Diallo will give the ball away less, he'll make us a more defensive team and we may find it harder to build attacks. Expect people on here to complain that he only does short sideways passes we desperately need a player that can kill counter attacks like Morgan used to do. We need better protection for our average centre backs. I'm hoping he can do that, which will allow us to be a little more adventurous going forward. It will be up to others to create more. We don't have enough creatively in the squad IMO. We score a lot of goals based on hard running from the liks of Armstrong, winning the ball back cheaply and Ings shooting quickly thereafter. When we have the ball a lot, we need a bit more craft and skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 4 October, 2020 Share Posted 4 October, 2020 I assume he's here in Southampton, having/had his medical and contract talks and we're just waiting for the weather to clear up a bit so the photos look nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll hear about it late tomorrow I'd have thought, if that includes any other additions that's anyone's guess. Time is still tight for others though, imo.

I think JWP could do with a bit of time out of the action . He has played 90mins in nearly all ,if not all of our games for a long time and now he doesn't even get the international break to replenish his batteries . So one game away or even on the bench could be to everyone's advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 4 October, 2020 Share Posted 4 October, 2020 Don;t see either of them as droppable at the moment, really. But there's so many permutations - niggles falling short of injuries, yellow/red cards (either leading to supensions or a need to take Romeu off to stop him getting a 2nd), moving JWP to RM (or even to RB if there's a problem with KWP) etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
