Well I don't think Che Adams or Nathan Redmond are sulking or on ramadan so why why why didn't Hassenhutl start those two?
You said in your verdict that Saints looked much better when those two came on.
His tactics and selections continue to be bizarre, almost as if he listens to sense and then does the opposite just because he's the boss.
Saints were all over them for the first 15 minutes, there were two open chances for Romeu but he missed both, but Broja, Elynouussi and Armstrong were completely anonymous, absolutely no contribution at all. Their goal goes in, and nothing from Ralph. That's when he should have pulled Broja and Elyounoussi. Armstrong was continuously passing the ball to Burnley, but he can still produce that moment of magic.
So he leaves the two non producers on, and you could see the heads go down, Forster suddenly gets very busy.
It's easy to blame the players, but bringing Adams and Redmond on and even Adam Armstrong to replace Stuart Armstrong as soon as they scored would show intent and put some work rate and enthusiasm back in the side. Not twenty minutes into the second half.
Not acceptable any more. |  |
