If Penny could just stand there with heaving bust and sword firmly clenched in her hand saying nothing, I think she’d garner the interest of millions. She’d then promptly lose all of that interest when she opens her trap and people realise she’s actually a complete headbanger with not much going on up top.

You also don’t understand them, to be fair, which is also a consideration.

Or if you haven’t seen the game(s) at all. There are many things to criticise xG for and how accurate it could ever be. However the statement “xG never gets anywhere near actual Goals which proves that it is a useless indicator and can be safely ignored.” just demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of what it actually tries to do.

Our points gained in August was excellent, three wins and a draw from 4 games. The performances were a bit iffy but the results were very good. September was the problem, 4 defeats in a row and shipped 12 goals. February was also a wobble, 3 defeats in 4. Unfortunately this season it’s just stacked at the top of the table and runs like that leave you playing catch up. Theres still every chance that the top two or even three could get 100+ points for the season which would be utterly ridiculous.

I thought Villa did one last week too? Disgraceful that Saints didn’t. Shame.

Nope, just that he thinks they’re all brilliant and they all deserve to play. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24163995.southamptons-martin-explains-made-many-defence-changes/ Sounds like he’s trying to convince himself that playing a lineup with players out of position is absolutely the right thing to do.

It feels exactly like this, always has done this season. RM made a rod for his own back installing Stephens as skipper. Maybe his grand plan was that Janny B was moving on so the partnership would be Stephens and A.N.Other (we signed Holgate before Stephens got injured then THB after), who knows. In any case the goals against stats speak for themselves (although stats were only invented for Asian betting markets…) and we just don’t look as cohesive a unit when we fuck about with lineups and formations. In the Echo recently Martin again said his lineups are about trying to get all of Stephens, Bednarek and THB on the pitch. But that shoehorning players into positions isn’t the reason we’re now looking more porous.

You clearly do.

Never noticed before, we have three Joes on the bench.

I feel it does the opposite. It might appeal to a small fringe of their nuttier base but it seems like the majority of people will just see right through as yet another sound bite that will actually achieve next to nothing, and yet another feeble attempt at fighting an upcoming election on culture wars.
