PBP: Brenden Aaronson, Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, All Games

Ref is letting them play, which is bad news for Aaronson and also for Adams.

 

Jack Harrison hands down my MOTM: generating most of the attack, covering his side well, reinforcing Roca and Adams in front of the CBs, and good positioning in set pieces. Marquee game for the Englishman.

 

Goal from Aaronson corner! He won’t get the assist but great delivery

 

Second good corner he’s taken today

 

Was that across the line?

 

Rodrigo is an intelligent player, he keeps adapting himself to the holes left by the weak S'hampton defense.

 

Rodrigo lucky he was onside there. Think the ball was going in without him.

 

rodrigo on set pieces: haaland

rodrigo at all other times: what is a first touch?

 

Maybe Aaronson can take corners like that for the NT

 

Great ball from Aaronson almost released Rodrigo

 

Aaronson with an almost perfect through ball. Kid has vision of the game.

 

Maybe take another watch…


He missed the first touch on the square ball from BA while wide open, on the attack where he was put through on the left and Bamford hit it just wide Rodrigo’s first touch was strong and took him wide diffusing the attack.

if you read the thread there are probably 5 posts complaining about his first touch. He’s still been dangerous and took the goal well.

 

Marsch totally outcoaching Hutti. Notice how Leeds keeps finding an entire empty band between Lavia and the defenders, yet the Saints coach has done nothing to fix it.

 

Everybody else is praising Rodrigo, including the British commentators, who are seldom fond of Spaniards.

This place has the horrible habit of putting down the other players in the team to prop our guy. Really bad, bad habit.

 

Seems to be a good formation change by Marsh at half.

Rodrigo is up top, Aaronson at the 10 and the speedy guy they subbed on is out right.

 

More subs would be good

 

James. But his problem is lack of size. He's far too easily pushed off.

 

Umm nobody is putting down Rodrigo to prop BA up. One has nothing to do with the other. And the commentators have praised the goals, but Rodrigo lost many balls in the first half unforced.

 

They should probably get some fresh legs on

 

Hutti going back to his tried-and-true 4-4-2 paid.

 

Way too much space out there for A team that was up 2-0.

 

Harrison gassed. They need to bring in fresh legs. All three Saints subs took part in the goal.

 

Never a boring moment with Marsch-ball. Was it Adams who left the initial duel on the flank in the goal build up?

 

Everybody sees they need more energy after conceding. why isn’t it happening?
