Saints being Saints again unfortunately.

He's got one this season..he fell over in the penalty area a couple of games ago.

I'm off to hide behind the parapet after posting this but I'm still not sure what Fellows brings that Edozie doesn't. He's certainly not shown himself to be the player I thought we were buying.

Hopefully this ages well...

I think last night proved that Larin doesn't walk on water, or even kick a ball straight on occasions. Never mind him getting injured what happens if he suffers a loss in form, do we have to then depend on'divine' intervention? Not quite sure how that's going to play out.

Can somebody explain in words of two syllables or less how Man City can be under investigation for financial irregularities and yet splash the cash like they have? How is that particular circle squared?

That's a man whose glass has never ever ever been more than a quarter full. He is to be pitied.

That's the problem I have with it. There's no doubt we have signed a quality player for peanuts but my most recent memory of him is me to you to you to me, sideways and backwards. I appreciate that was a product of the system we played then, I just hope his creative side is encouraged in the present set up.

I really hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling I'm gonna be watching this like I watch horror films on the telly.. eyes screwed up with my hands in front of my face. Unless there is a drastic improvement over last night I fear the worst.

The new alphabet...JWPNO

They're loving him up there..quote from one of his new LFC fans: 'Exactly! The thing people need to remember is that Brussell ball takes one element of the possession orientated game and just runs with it. Why invert one full back, surely 2 is twice as good. Why bother with 65% possession - 75% is exponentially better. You wont lose the ball in midfield if you retain it in defence and start your moves from there. Have loads of wingers (and dont let them play more than 60 minutes), and ensure they only recycle the ball through the middle. I hate this callout that 'we simply cant afford the team Martin needs'. His vision of the game has proven, time after time, to not work - and no budget will fix that. He is not some underappreciated genius just missing a slice of excellent recruitment. He is a massive fraud, and its an insult to football to even associate his version of the game with those who have made possession oriented systems work. Unless he adapts fast (and all evidence suggests he cant), his career is over. And i couldn't care less about him, i care about where we are at right now.' I agree it's weird how we are still talking about him down here but some of the crap that man inflicted on us, and the drivel that came out of his mouth still makes me shudder.

Interesting... just started watching the Mourinho doc on Netflix. Chelsea were due to play Bolton. At about 16 minutes in John Terry talks about watching a film of the Bolton training session from the day before, laughingly saying I don't know where he got that from. So we ain't the first!

but not as shown in the first match of this season.

as is putting Stephens in week after week.

it will get better... won't it?

I have no idea of the answer to this but are these names thriving at their bigger clubs? Would they have been better off being a bigger fish in a smaller pond perhaps?

Let's hope the new names in the second part of your post don't get consigned to the first part..

Yep, like we've had loads of players not making horrific misses over the last few years...

I reckon Che would suit a tondateam well. He works hard to get himself into space so, imo, would benefit from us seemingly getting the ball forward quicker, or at all even, compared to hewhomustnotbenamed days.

It'll be better in the second half... won't it?

I'd go further and say he wouldn't have been charged in the first place.

Isn't Bielsa the precedent?

I think most will answer pretty much everything you say..

Shhh, they might hear you...

This...exactly.
