What a load of crap, the 4-2-2-2 got sussed two years ago and the rigid way we stick to it makes us very easy to play against, unless we get hazard and De Brune to play the number 10s then we create nothing and leave big gaps at the back. Need to ditch this and the playbook and be more adaptive.

No and yes, I am a supporter of saints not the prem.

So two teams fighting relegation that are trying to score and win a game, who would have thought you could do that🤔

I'm not sure this has been a problem with the way we have played recently, last night he only started two of the young ones. I think we have been very badly let down by our more established played who have been mainly crap all season.

Absolutely spot on, a manager's job is to look at the squad and play a system that suits and gets the best out of them. Selles seems content to pick the same players in the same formation that has failed to work in quite a while, a lot of which he has witnessed. And to keep saying players, particularly one who most of us know can't tackle, is good against the ball and blocking lanes is really starting to get on my wiggle.

Maybe give the lad a few games at least before writing him off completely. He can hardly do worse than most of our strikers and has to be better than starting with no striker at all, we held them for forty mins but never looked like scoring, what a crap way to play when you have limited games left and need four or five wins.

Any manager worth the name would look at the players available a pick a system that suits and gets the best out of them, playing the same players in the same system that has not worked for this and last season is not too my mind great management.

Fonte has to be up there with one of the best of recent times.

Three started goalkeeper,,ABK and Lavia, still not many.

Spot on.

No that's what I said probably not what we needed, but getting that finished article is expensive and then not guaranteed to work.

I think people's expectations of a 20 year old that had moved club and country are a bit weird. It's not his fault that he's not quite the finished article that our situation needed. He deffo needs some work but has all the raw material needed. I know we don't have the time for that this year but again that's not his fault but at least he is prepared to try going past players, would be happy if some of the passess to him were into space behind the defence instead of behind him.

Not sure I know what 'good against the ball' even means in this case as the man can't tackle, absolute waste of a shirt.

Home and had chance for a medicinal brandy, not much to say really, some say the fans were quiet but after seven seasons of crap I'm not surprised. As for Ralph MK2 he had succeeded in making us as boring and predictable as we were before always with the first choice to turn and go back, we are simply not good enough to beat eleven men every attack, alien Lucy and diallo are just so bad. I was hoping the manager having seen this crap all year might have other plans.

He's not the massiah!
