Rhino1 292 Posted December 4, 2019 We simply haven’t turned up first half, bitterly disappointing no fight, no energy - give it a go, very very disappointing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,659 Posted December 4, 2019 We appeared to arrive at about 8:30, sadly too late to get anything: we had more shots in the first 7 minutes of the second half (both in target) than we did in the entire first half (one off target). That’s against a side who had let in the most in the division. Not great tactics imo, we should have gone in on the front foot from the off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted December 4, 2019 The first half was reminiscent of Farke’s first season, the second half and the last 15 mins in particular was much more like what we’ve come to expect. Really we should have got a point at the end. When we play more directly at a decent tempo, we’re a good team so why do we keep reverting back to the slow sluggish possession based nonsense that bored us to tears and lead to a lower half championship finish? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted December 4, 2019 We lacked confidence, ideas, urgency and game management. Hard to understand how everything we had on Sunday, against a far better team, went out right the window. We handed the inititive to Southampton right from the start and gave them 2 gift wrapped goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No team can play at that 'decent tempo' for 90 minutes. The first season we were trying to play a style of football that the players weren't sufficiently drilled enough to play. In the second season, once Farke had found the right mix of personnel and taught them the intricacies of his tactics, we were great. He's now undergoing that learning process all over again, having to learn on the fly and teach these players how to adapt and survive at a ridiculously high level. It's bloody hard to watch it in progress (think Millwall 4-0 away early on, and this season the shockers at Burnley, Brighton and the first half tonight), but we've got a young manager and a young and inexperienced squad having to face quality teams every single week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
