Saint Matty 76 Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 We've looked okay to be fair, just a lack of quality with final pass/shot. Actually attacking consistently though for the first time this preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 McCarthy stepping up to almost a CB position at times, when we're knocking it around the back. Done it a few times. Don't remember that last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca155 Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Watching Romeu being asked to run box to box is painful. I've seen him chasing after whippet like Monaco players too many times. He is far better when they are running at him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go on Saturday though as I'm optimistic he won't play then. It would be useful if they notified us more than an hour in advance when McCarthy is going to play so we can stay well away.

saints1988 Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Adam Armstrong - Do want him to come good, has something about him the one positive so far tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Well that was depressingly familiar and I'm sure Ralph learned nothing more than the rest of us which will come as no surprise. Waste of 45 minutes other than a welcome run out for Perraud. Zero creativity and we look a side totally lacking in shape or direction. Armstrong buzzed about a bit and tried hard but with no support from the midfield. He hit one glorious pass out to Redmond and when the ball eventually arrived in the middle Armstrong was on to it and got a powerful shot away but too close to keeper. If any of these are trying to stake a claim to a first team spot it isn't showing. Turgid stuff again. Sideways, backwards, sideways rinse and repeat - nothing we haven't seen a million times before.

kjurwi Posted 27 July, 2022 Share Posted 27 July, 2022 Thought we had an ok half. Monaco hasn't created almost anything(apart from the goal). We have had a few long range shots.
