Killers Knee

Has he not been melted down for glue yet?

He'd fit well in the middle of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1, it's the only formation that plays to our very limited strengths, but our lack of fitness negates this after 20 mins.

Will Juric have time to drill us in his preferred, 3-4-2-1, and what will it look like?? Archer Dibbling Fernandes Manning BigLes Downes KWP Jan. THB Wood Ramsdale

Better, lots to improve on: Fitness Formation Selection Tactics Set pieces Substitutions All the above need drastic work to reverse the entropy caused by managerial neglect

Passing forwards! Is this allowed?

This advert is perfect: Happy Xmas, fellow Saints

This game couldn't come at a better time for Spurs or their manager, and I'm sure we'll not get a shot on target. 2 nil Spuds.

He‘s no longer toeing the line, he‘s gaining supporters,could he make a leadership challenge in Reform?

I'm still waiting for the day a Goalkeeper's flailing save is interpreted by a Referee as the Goalkeeper throwing the ball into his own net, I'm sure the PGMOL have a Man Utd fan just itching to use this much underused nuance.

would prefer Lee Carsley

Scousers are sighting Macca's near post like Spetznaz snipers

Playing usual shite suicide ball, Frazer at LB against Mo Salah, is a joke. If we play Tall Pall, at least play Suguwara, who can actually cross the ball.

Martin still on the premises? When does Lee Carsley take over?

Lee Carsley for the Saints manager it is then.

RM will get fired, but he should heap all the blame on the ref in the post match interview, go all out for a record breaking fine.

Sugawara was naive there, gifted Saka the ball

Crikey, that was one boring match. Two teams devoid of any attacking threat laying powder puff pillow hands on each other. Snooze-fest.

Macca!

Where was THB on Saturday when we needed that?

Danny Murphy on MOTD hit the nail on the head - we don't have the players capable of playing this style at this level.

Can’t see the match, are we playing walking football again? Russball only works if we play at the pace of an ice hockey team.

Wasn't there a "I believe that we will win!" chant? I suggest more flares and balaclavas are required

Didn't expect us to dominate against Newcastle, so that was encouraging to see. Russball largely worked in the Premiership, it was let down by someone who truly shouldn't be in a first XI in this league. We lacked some accountability in the final third, opting for one pass too many instead of taking the shot. There were many positives from our tactics and individual contributions, and there are still some question marks over the same. I'm failing to see the point of Edozie other than "run until you're fouled", reminds me of "crop circles" but he could also pass and shoot. Overall, to be annoyed at losing 1 nil away to Newcastle on our return match from the Championship is far removed from my expectation of a 4 nil thrashing. Now if we could just get a decent keeper and a tall, athletic striker.....

Dani Osvaldo, great player but crazier that a blue haired person on Twitter

Georgian keeper, Mamardashvili, should be on the Saints radar. Looks a decent upgrade from what we have.
