obelisk Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Every Saints shot seems to hit a defender. At least we're having some.
Zorba Posted January 4 Posted January 4 so Boro have half a dozen defenders out and unable to play.. yet we look more likely to concede. FFS!
Saint NL Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Scienza anonymous today, at least Azaz looks lively. Would be nice if Scienza, Fellows and Azaz could all turn up in the same match Edited January 4 by Saint NL
Challenger Posted January 4 Posted January 4 It's amazing that even doing the basic things in a satisfactory way are beyond most of these players.
AlexLaw76 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 The pronunciation of the word "Ball" by the locals up there is really irritating
Willo of Whiteley Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Saints playing absolute shite listening to the radio. Jo Tessem is tactically spot on. These are mad times. I’ve hard the words “overrun in midfield”, “Scienza needs to play more out wide”, there is no point in a back three because we have no attack”. Says it all. 2
AlexLaw76 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Fuck me, Fellows has to get the on target there. Very poor effort. Brilliant through ball by Azaz 1
Obstacle1 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Absolutely embarassing finish from Fellows. Good pass from Azaz
CSA96 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I guess that explains why Fellows is yet to score 10 career goals
JohnnyShearer2.0 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Argh. Fellows does the opposite to Downes. Instead placing it smashes it over.

AlexLaw76 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Jander has been completely anonymous so far, their midfielders are bypassing him fairly easily. 2

Farmer Saint Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Just out of interest, why do we fans believe we should just dominate every game, especially against one of the best teams in the League, and away from home, when we have a shit defence and keeper (and it has been proven across multiple years and multiple Managers the players are wank) and a massively overrated CM in Downes (who is meant to control the ball and the game). We are in a league where, famously, any team can beat any team, and is one of the toughest and most competitive leagues in the world. I don't understand why our fans seem to be so fucking entitled. 1 1

trousers Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Just before we took that throw-in near their corner flag I said to my son: "watch this end back at our keeper".... What a predictable joke this team is... 7
coalman Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Boro played the first half with 3 centre backs. Will be interesting to see what happens if they switch after the break.

You might but I don't. What i do believe is that we should be seeing some decent joined up football in this league. We did in Eckert's first seven games but now he's changed back to Russball and slow walking football without the urgency to make vertical forward passes. 4

Saint NL Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Weird half, very poor in parts but probably should have scored twice. Not sure anyone will be upset if Scienza doesn't appear in the second half today. 1
Harry_SFC Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 Flynn Downes is so fucking annoying. So many times he can just turn and pass it forwards. He is one of the most limited CM's I've ever seen. 5
Baird of the land Posted January 4 Posted January 4 How has fellows got to this point of his career and never learned how to shoot 1
benjii Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Strange match. A lot of what we've done is crap, but when we do manage to string a couple of passes together in their half we look like scoring and have had three very good chances. 1

Feeding off the players non work ethic, the give nothing for the badge, just need to turn up to win attitude seemingly prevalent at the moment.

CSA96 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Middlesbrough, who haven't scored for four games, are yet to have a shot on target in this game. Brace yourselves, everyone...
obelisk Posted January 4 Posted January 4 At least two great chances for Saints to score in that half. Downes really has to score but Fellows' miss was worse. Just no composure.

We did in Eckert's first seven games but now he's changed back to Russball and slow walking football without the urgency to make vertical forward passes. I don't think he's changed back, I think we had room in those games to play the way we did under Martin as teams thought we were utter shit still. Don't forget, SR did not want to sack RM, so playing the same way makes complete sense. 1

I’ve hard the words “overrun in midfield”, “Scienza needs to play more out wide”, there is no point in a back three because we have no attack”. Says it all. I'm watching via the club website with blackmore's commentary. Honestly, he's an awful commentator. Misses obvious things, adds his nonsense takes and opinions like a blathering idiot, and frankly knows very very little about football. I didn't realise just how bad he is as a commentator until i started watching to his commentary. Its bad, really bad. The times where Tessem just choses not to say anything (to avoid making this obvious) do make me chuckle though 😄. Even basic stuff, like saying something is a foul or a dive when its not, lamenting players and being overly negative for not shooting or crossing etc., when actually they've done about as well as could be expected. If you listen to games via his commentary, you need to be aware that you're sadly getting his partisan and rather poorly informed take of the game's events. Edited Sunday at 15:55 by Saint86 1

That said, Azaz is having a decent game and so would Fellows be if he hadn't spaffed two good chances.
