Hardly a disastrous signing. 28 goals in his previous season in a league more competitive that played in by any of the players we've signed this summer. Let's see if we sign anyone with a comparable goal record this year. Last season we needed a goalscorer and he was one. Is one.

I always remember Liverpool signing Dean Saunders who thrived on the counter attack running onto through balls , unfortunately Liverpool did not play that style so he didn’t last long there !

So far we have shown few signs that we have fixed the problems we saw in the run-in last season and all the indications point to us making the usual very slow start again. Hope Ralph, coaches and players prove me wrong and I do get the fact that these are only friendlies but I did expect to see more from us than I have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young lads will be lambs to the slaughter come the game against Tottenham. In short, can’t see hassenhuttl lasting any more than 10 games. Gone by xmas - the man is past his sell-by date at saints After signing Adams and Armstrong - 2 very good championship strikers - we need to spend big money on more. Because Ralph is unable to get a tune out of them really. Unable to get a note out of Armstrong! Edited 24 July, 2022 by AlexLaw76 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can park in the Westquay open carpark (by Furniture Village, etc.) from 7pm, (they charge til 8 but you can grab a free hour ticket from 7) Poorly priced for a friendly - £15 + £1.50 booking fee, goes up to £20 tomorrow.

Surely the quality of a signing is based on what he has acheived at his current club, not what he did in the past. 2 goals from 28 league and cup appearances from a striker is pretty disastrous.

In principle 'yes' but with so many newcomers to the squad will RH really know what his likely starting XI is likely to be? Bazunu carries the hopes and expectations of a large number of fans but in fairness we have not seen Lis in action for 90 mins; he could be at least as good as the youngster.

saintant Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 With just two pre season friendlies to go we need to see the intensity ramping up. No point strolling around in these two matches and then expect to hit the ground running against Spurs. We should be seeing signs that the starting line up is taking shape and beginning to gel. I'm hoping for a more dynamic approach, would like to see us getting the ball forward much quicker, pressing high up the pitch, creating some presentable chances and scoring some goals.

Lis has been signed to be 4th choice/loaned out. We don't need him to be ready to play vs Spurs. Bazunu has been told he is going to be playing PL games for us, not play second fiddle to anyone. That is the sales pitch we've given Bazunu, Lavia, Bella-Kotchap etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 If we're going to line up with 3 midfielders and 3 attackers, I'd like to see Stuart Armstrong as an 8 alongside JWP with Lavia/Romeu behind. Just think we struggle to create chances without a link between attack and defence, and SA is great at picking it up deep and making yards.

BARCELONASAINT Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 looking forward to seeing the new lads play tonight but please not Lis. Monaco have played more pre-season games than us and have had a good pre-season so far and will be more than a good test for us. I don't want to see RH dicking about with formations and experimental positioning of players 2 games before the season starts. He should know what formation he is going with by now and know who his starting 11 are. Give them the minutes they need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Weird team.
