As TBS pointed out the exact example you’ve used is a carbon copy of the one we used against West Brom under RM. And yeah, this manager is doing really well, I’m a fan, which is a good sign as I was also a fan of the last one who got promoted too. The one you seem to be having weird little digs at for actually getting promoted. So top posting all round really. You’ve been quiet lately, welcome back. Did we drop some points?

If Oriol Romeu comes in from the wilderness to start against the best team in the country something’s gone very wrong.

Weird dig at a method that has us higher and more successful than we are currently btw 🤣 That’s even without the added complication of it not being true.

It's perfectly okay for a player to go away and do well elsewhere, especially a young one, and it not be a crazy decision to have let him go.

Are we ruling out the ‘tightness’ is a polite and easy way to describe hauling off an ineffective attacker at half time? Not denying the second part though.

You’re not upsetting anyone. Everyone’s laughing at you. Manager criticism is fine, although I would point out that the idea that the thing he didn’t do was the guaranteed way to success is absurd. Players playing badly and the opposition defending well are allowed to happen at and seemingly influence the game much more than tactical plans imo. But anyway, just to reiterate that when it comes to you specifically nobody is upset and everybody thinks you’re a laughable grifter. HTH.

Hahaha he’s back. Absolutely loves that we’ve dropped some points.

Really can’t see anyone forking out the cash required for someone turning 28 in September unless he seriously ups his output. I think we can say goodbye to THB either way though.

On the basis that Larin is currently 1 for 5 in league games here, I'm not convinced that is evidence Onuachu or Larin would get 20 in this league. I'm also not convinced they are similar players at all, other than being relatively big? As Chez described Onuachu as "Terrible first touch, slow, no stamina, shit in the air.", how many of those would you attribute to Larin? Slow. But nothing about Larin performances here remind me of Onuachu at all. I'm not as impressed by Larin as others just yet but whilst Onuachu, did contribute slightly in that 1 period don't think their hold up play or effectiveness are similar in anyway. And, as my point has been throughout, and I'll stop banging on about now, it's all well and good people dreaming up situations in which Onuachu plays differently for us but the reality is he was here for however many seasons, most managers didn't like him and he was literally laughed at some weeks. That says more to me about what he would be like here because it's quite literally evidence of what he'd be like here. And that's much better evidence than his performances in a non comparable league that he's found himself being effective in. Good for him doing so though.

Well done for getting the point so quickly.

Juric tried building the team around him and Sulemana btw. How does it compare? Not sure, never watched it. But I did watch Onuachu play for Saints, in a Saints shirt, at St Mary’s, against opposition that Saints played, in competitions Saints played in so I do have a fairly good grasp of how that would go and don’t need to hypothetically dream up situations in which Onuachu is playing for Saints, in a Saints shirt, at St Mary’s against opposition that Saints played in competitions Saints play in to work out how he’d get on. None of his 18 goals in 21 games this season have been in the Championship either, have they?

Being in and out of a terrible team isn’t a flex. And we know he wouldn’t have got plenty for us at this level because the two times we’ve been relegated to this level he’s conveniently found himself on the end of a transfer move. You can’t score goals at this level if you don’t want to play at it.

4 goals in 40 here I think. It's almost as if Turkey and England are not the same. We don't have to think about what it would be like if he was here, we know, he was crap.

What has Romeu done to be involved? Let alone involved in a match against opposition who are a step up. All well and good not prioritising the cup but sticking him in from nowhere would be unfair on all those around him.

Or maybe I've just watched games and seen that the ultimately conclusive camera angle is not always the first one they watch and shown within 30 seconds.
