Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted June 19, 2020 Oh well, earlier in the season we would have been trailing by now, so something to build on. We don't have the fire in our bellies I was expecting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,168 Posted June 19, 2020 Us having two up front is causing Southampton far less problems than us missing a midfielder is causing them to give us problems. Drmic not on song.  Bring on Mario (or Duda) to replace him.  Give Alex a bit of a run out.Trybull gets less involved overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted June 19, 2020 Tempo far too slow, main problem as usual, no one n the centre midfield available to receive ball from defenders.... just too slow.... too sloppy!    this philosophy needs ball players in the middle who can also compete.  Our ball players can’t compete, hence are on the bench!   Rather see Martin on for Drmic just for his enthusiasm!   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,379 Posted June 19, 2020 Started really brightly then got lost. We've gotten way, way too spaced out, the trap we always fall into trying to work space on forward areas. Calm down. Slow down. Stop trying to play fifa. Get some possession around their box and we will have this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted June 19, 2020 We're a passing possession based side but we have no one in any central midfield position who's up to this level. The defense has taken a lot of the blame but for me the midfield 3 has been the issue all season. Tettey has been the best of the bunch but he's been inconsistent because of his age, no one else, whether it's Trybull, Mclean, Leitner, Vrancic, Stiepermann, or Duda has been anywhere near up to the level required and all of the rest of the team suffers for it. As a last throw of the dice for me it's Tettey on for Trybull and Rupp on for Drmic second half with Mclean moving to CAM. I don't envy Farke right now, what can you do with a team that has absolutely nothing in midfield? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 19, 2020 All players on the pitch look unfit. No-one is making runs. Midfield cancelling each other out. Full backs not able to get up and down with their normal pace. And the usual errors when bringing the ball out. Shows the stupidity of these games being played. They should have just gone on PPG and avoided all this nonsense. We should have been watching the Euros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HertsCanary93 222 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) There's been space to play Drmic and Pukki in, but players haven't had their head up to make the pass. The one time the ball made it through, Drmic took a poor touch and got the ball stuck under his feet. Will be expecting some changes on the 60min mark. Vrancic for McClean would be the first I would make. If we're playing two up top, we need to play some balls into them. Edited June 19, 2020 by HertsCanary93 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need more tempo, move the ball much much quicker.   1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted June 19, 2020 Pukki and Drmic have been making runs but the balls from midfield are so slow that Soton get all their men back and we cant get through Need to pass the ball more positively and more quickly. A bit more direct play needed at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
