That can be the only explanation for us buying Downs. Any scout seeing him live would have had to see he had the touch of a rapist, zero positional awareness and inability to head the ball. At the very least, I would expect him to compensate such poor natural talent by competing for every ball and pressing the opposition urgently as Shane Long did, but he doesn’t even do that. This reeks of SRs data driven approach to recruitment.: we need a number 9 Tick, needs to be tall Tick, needs to be young rather than experienced Tick. How on earth does Stewart not get in ahead of him?

He gives me Ali Dia vibes too. At least Souness realised he was shit and took him off about 10 minutes after he came on 😂

Baz distribution is not world class

Add a decent central striker to you know do that put the ball in the net thing and we could be decent. Again, who knew?

Can I add to that list, no experience in the league that they will be playing in

He kept a shit team with dysfunctional owners in the Championship last season and was in with a shout of reaching the playoffs. Sounds like ideal experience, then.

Bit radical that. Next, you'll be suggesting getting a keeper who can keep the ball out of the net rather than palming it straight to the nearest unmarked attacker.

Mid table would be an improvement

He's got a pineapple on his head

I agree, he just needs a no 9 alongside him as he had today.

He'd be more dangerous upfront than Downs

And the posters who claimed we had brilliant striker options at this level

Down to 19th losing 3-0 to a team that only survived relegated by one point. Well done Saints

THB is so much better in his head than he is on the pitch

How shit was THB there?

Here come the Diddy men

He's also brilliant at missing the target

It also helps if you move towards the ball

And no leader on the pitch and 2 poor/average centre halves who both think they are better than they are

How about a defending cluster fuck masterpiece for their goal

We had a central striker, Che Adams who hasn't been replaced.

Is that the same Azaz that just played Downs in?

Fair enough. But, if that's true then we need to replace him because his form isn't good enough at the moment. I'd like to see how Jander does.

More excuses
