Disco Stu

I don't think I can recall Southgate ever changing a game when things aren't going our way so I'm not holding much hope.

Slow tempo passing along the back four reminds me of the USA game. Not looking good.

Very questionable officiating so far.

Looked like a foul on Saka to me but great goal nonetheless.

Pellegrino but yeah, it showed a terrible attitude.

Most of the footballing world was looking at him when he scored a hattrick last Tuesday. He's well out of our reach now unfortunately.

He wouldn't have been my pick and I personally think our luck runs out this year but if he can install a fighting mentality, we stand a chance. Things didn't go well for him at Stoke but I'm sure there were some mitigating circumstances given how they've performed since. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, support the team and hope he can replicate his success at Luton in the Premier League. It's all we can do now.

He's shown that he's capable of installing a fighting mentality at Luton so hopefully he'll be able to install a similar mentality at Saints as we're currently in 19th place. It's not hard to see how that might benefit us.

Yeah I had a look at that too. Not exactly the best record! Jones knows English football and has installed a fighting mentality at Luton which is exactly what we need.

Not sure if already mentioned elsewhere... https://www.toronews.net/rassegna-stampa/la-stampa-offerta-del-southampton-a-juric-ma-il-tecnico-ha-detto-no/ If this Italian article is to be believed, Nathan Jones wasn't our first choice. We approached Ivan Juric from Torino but he rejected the offer.

Is that what happened? 😦

No complaints with the line up from me.

Sounds likely: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-premier-league-revealed-7861176 and... Tommy Conway scored both goals apparently. Heard a lot of good things about him.

He's not a striker. He's an attacking midfielder or winger.

Away trip please.

Why is Mount still on the pitch and Foden still on the bench? Mystifying.

Southgate is a poor tactician which is why he will waste this talented generation.

He should have been gone long ago then. It's ruined our season (that and not signing a striker).

Ronaldo decided he was going down before the ball even reached him. Very Salisu tackle though.

Goncalo Ramos from Benfica perhaps?

Are we creating a Monster group to rival the Red Bull group?

Of course but Blackburn Rovers aren't stupid. They could sell Diaz for £15m+. We will get nowhere near when the time comes to move Armstrong on. We won't be able to get rid of Armstrong unless he accepts a wage cut or we subsidise them. If we stay up, loaning him out next season is the most likely scenario or he stays.

I would have agreed pre-VAR but now they have someone monitoring the game on a screen and they set the benchmark in the first half.

It's alright, they let him live.

I know it was a joke.
