Yeah it’s not really possible to compare jones vs Martin . Jones came into a awful side with not much creativity no decent strikers, a hologram gk and a team full of losing mentality in the premiership.. I don’t think it’s a coincidence all three managers where shit last season- it wAs a difficult job made even more difficult by the fact supporters and media being on his back almost streight away it is possible that if jones was brought in this season instead he could have done a decent job sometimes for a manager it’s about being in the right place at the right time. koeman for example came into a half decent foundation after poch and did superb, he did shit at Everton though hoddle same, great with us terrible at spurs

Hard to label him our worst manager in recent history.. we were shit under three differant managers last season .. it’s hard to pin it all on him. personally I’d have preferred keeping him then replacing him with selles..

I can’t blame him for this, che has been very wasteful and in general we have a load of exciting wide players but no clinical strikers Adams is super wasteful and we all know this so it’s a bit unfair to bash him for trying something else

Hehe well he would probably be equally useless at saving shots .. but would be an upgrade on the passing out from the back so why not 😆

Exactly .. it’s funny how people always try to draw positives from the consistently picked shit players bazunu - great passer for a keeper elyounoussi - his off the ball work Adams - a good second striker,hold up play etc ita all a load of bollocks really all three suck hard and are totally incapable of doing the job we want from them if what we look for in a goalkeeper is someone who is comfortable on the ball and can pass well but totally incapable of saving anything you might as well play David Brooks there it’s that stupid ..

He has a bit of everything .. really superb versatile skill set .. I’d still like to see him in the false 9 think he will thrive there and be a huge upgrade on che . But this position is also fine .. he can play anywhere

How are his shot saving stats compared to baz .. be interesting if any one can be bothered to dig them up

It’s quite shocking really that we have had to accept him in goal unchallenged for two seasons .. I think he’s got off quite lightly considering .. it’s like having dexter blackstock in goal for two years . i said this last season that having him in goal and che up front makes it really really difficult to win tight matches .. Adams we kind of get away with a bit more in the championship as we create so many chances but The comments above about baz letting in any half decent attempt and looking like a outfield player in goal are bang on, it’s a huge handicap for us

Hopefully it’s more a case of russ starting to get fucked off with the soft goals we concede with baz.. if he acts on it and puts lumley in now I’m all for it to be honest

But he has played successfully as a striker/false nine for rangers successfully even scoring in a European final playing there .. as said he has a very versatile skill set and has strength and vision to hold up the ball and link play . Surely we would rather chances falling to him then che ?

I’d like to see Aribo get a chance up front. He played there before at rangers and scored in European final playing there .. he’s got enough strength to hold his own against defenders and hold the ball up .. could he be any worse then che ? Adans constant inclusion in the starting line up just results in our best chances falling to him, he can only score close range anyway and him starting just stops someone who could finish properly doing the job

He’s so fucking bad you could put jack stephens up front with his boots on the wrong feet an. He would still be a upgrade in the finishing department .. I’m serious too.. how fucking long will it take before the club realises

Don’t know if it’s just me but think we could be better off finishing 4th and Playing Wba rather then having the likes of Hull or in an inform Norwich

It’s a bit of a ridiculous comparison to compare someone who has a few differing opinions on covid etc to a paedophile. To make it worse your supposed to be a Southampton fan don’t understand why you would look to try and tarnish the name of one of the biggest heroes we will ever have

That’s the Xmas present for the mrs sorted anyway

Would make a great kit for Sunderland or Brentford

Spot on.. what happened to the days where people could have their own opinion? Le Tissier is a absolute absolute legend , gave us some of the best moments we could dream of and bleeds red and white.. Quite insane that he’s getting hate over some bullshit political views

Juve have already admitted that they will not pay that price and renegotiate in the summer whatever was agreed was just juventus getting the player through the door.. not sure why you seem so adamant that they either pay that 49 million Euro’s or he comes back ? The player wants to stay ar juventus now we don’t usually stand in the way when a player wants to move to a big club .. to top that off he was only a squad player under Russell as well. So the chances of us stopping him going to juventus are even less because of that it seems pretty clear if they want him he will go and it will be nowhere close to the 49m Euro’s

But don’t you think our bargaining position is still weakened by the fact he wants to stay at juventus now . i don’t think we are the type of club that will stand in his way here especially when we wasn’t giving him first team football under russ

“Isn’t good enough and the youngsters are worse” is a bit like saying they are rubbish. im not really arguing about who’s better here more the fact that out of a pool of cracking looking young players such as alcaraz,sully,Sam amo, dibling,Charles,meghoma can you say any of them have come on leaps and bounds under russ ? they have had some chances sure but I think the depth in front of them is probably hindering their progress somewhat .. nathan tella wasn’t doing doing much for us while here albeit in a higher league but came totally good when getting week in week out game time

I don’t believe this .. many people on here was raving about Sam amo Being our best prospect since bale,, likewise people raved over dibling in the cup.. sulemana was preferred over doku by many of the fans at his last club .. and alcaraz was arguably our best player in the premiership at the back end of last season.. i agree we are going for promotion but to make out they are all rubbish is wrong

You are correct with all of this .but I still think martin has certainly favoured experience for the here and now over fully unleashing some of our young players .. I mean In the attacking winger positions we could have probably not even brought Fraser and brooks in at all if we wanted to and used sulemana edozie Sam amo and dibling. The main conflict here is whilst brooks and Fraser have been great you could argue they are blocking the devolopement of the other 4. Charles was a expensive youngster but mainly on the bench meghoma only getting cup games And alcaraz let go because Martin preferred stuey.. as I said it’s a promotion chasing season so I don’t really have a problem with martins approach here but I do think it’s fair to say he’s favouring experience and loan players who are not ours over some really high potential youngsters

Hehe a bit harsh maybe .. I do however think he has definitely preferred experience to youth . in a year where we are chasing promotion I won’t argue against it too much but the likes of sulemana alcaraz edozie Charles dibling haven’t really broken through under him ., and I think that’s more to do with preferring experience to them being not good enough

I think In a way he’s been very unlucky.. when he got injured he was actually first choice. Since then Arma has been immense on one wing, Fraser took his chance well and now we also have brooks as well as edozie with Fraser and brooks you get a ton of end product, frasers shooting is superb and brooks plays killer passes. In a season where every result is crucial they are safer picks. But it’s good that we have a different kind of weapon for when we need it .. i think Martin is tending to prefer the reliable pros for the here and now over utilising our players With the highest ceilings .. same applies to alcaraz and maybe you could add Sam amo.. I can’t blame Martin for doing what’s best for promotion but it’s not been a season that helps our brightest young talents

Good stuff from joe, second time now he has came on and been a total match winner . He’s been a bit of a mixed bag so far, seems very good attacking wise and could be a very useful impact sub when needing a goal
