der Berliner 3,246 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Itten is good ... last night was about support from flanks and midfield ... which was not there. Roofe and Itten worked their socks off against thuggish defenders, Kent was running all over the place, Arfield, Aribo and Zungu were - by our standards - disfunctional. Itten at least was up to their physical antics. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to judge him on cameos and especially in games were every player was way below par. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofe and Itten worked their socks off against thuggish defenders, Kent was running all over the place, Arfield, Aribo and Zungu were - by our standards - disfunctional. Itten at least was up to their physical antics. On a narrow pitch and seeing that Barisic wasn't starting, St.Mirren wisely decided to stay on top of Tav and asked Connelly to keep Bassey occupied. It helped them that Aribo was so far off the pace and Zungu is understandably, still finding his feet. The result was far less creation for us and more a congested middle of pitch, where first touch and good movement weren't at the standard needed to create many chances. It was asking a lot of Itten, given his lack of gametime thus far. Regards Morelos, given his play/first touch over recent weeks, I doubt the congested centre and lack of wide attacking threat would have suited him either. Also, I would be slightly more concerned at how far off it Aribo was. However, they didn't budget for a maurading centre-half solo run and shot but when we got ahead, it felt like we didn't know whether to stick or twist. That allowed St.Mirren back in, they had hunger, belief and it went their way. After the prolonged and intense start to the season we have had, that type of game was almost due. Looking at the team line-up, the League Cup isn't as high up SG&Co's priorities as Europe and I agree with them.
