Because there's no VAR.

Trying too hard so far.

Really fucking stupid from Foden to play that ball back to JWP.

Right...so your point is that the formation and style of play they choose, because they're so shit that they have to try and keep the score below 5 or 6, is more suited to defense than the style of play we choose? What insight.

Great ball in from JWP headed miles high and wide by Bellingham. Commentator "Oh, that's a great header!". They've been wanking over hey Jude since he came on.

Yeah, it's better to have lost 10-0, 8-0, 7-0 etc. I don't think they'd get a single point. In fact I'd bet everything I own on it.

Wait, I just saw that you suggested San Marino are better at setting up to defend than we are. Outed yourself as a troll.

I said they don't try that hard. You think England are trying as hard tonight, with 2 more games in the next 7 days and coming into the game knowing 100% they were going to win, as United or Leicester tried against us?

That freekick was taken much further out than the foul was.

And then they're lazy with the attempts to set people up, like that pass from Foden to JWP there. Swear to god if someone else takes this freekick...

They're not CMs, they play as part of the attacking 3.

He'll get dropped for Declan Rice, despite being the best English centre midfielder in the Prem this season.

Not really. Just a fun little freak of statistics. Teams generally don't try that hard against San Marino from kick off, let alone when they're 5+ goals up.

Southampton have lost 9-0 more times in the last two seasons than San Marino.

I did the same thing and was looking at the midfield thinking where the hell is ward Prowse.

Prowsey!!!!

Eventually no they couldnt, but to begin with it was.

Some interesting players going to be out of contract on this list. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/endendevertraege Particularly some decent experienced centrebacks on that list. We need experience and especially a leader in the side. Jerome Boateng would be a real coup, although probably out of our price range, but Romain Saiss could be a good shout.

Let me preempt them and ask for justification for these scenes. PXL_20210321_213111371.mp4

Horrendous scenes in Bristol and it's being largely ignored in the news and on social media. Crazy. This new bill doesn't even affect protests that much, it only gives the police the right to set start and finish times and control noise levels.

Struggling to be optimistic as it seems so long since something went properly right for us.

I wish he contributed as much as Redmond. Adams goal record is actually pretty good for a lower Prem team by the way.

But going by goal and assist returns, all those players he listed got more than Redmond in a lot less playing time. People can say whatever they want but overall he hasn't been great for us. Sums it up that people are listing 3 games, 2 against lower league opposition and one from about 4 or 5 years ago, and saying "see, he turns it on in the big games".

To whomever reacted to my post, perhaps you would instead like to explain why you think we would have a better chance against City or Chelsea than against United?

Snigger all you want but we've come out and admitted we prioritised the FA cup from the start this season and it shows in our performances. I would fancy our chances with them much more than I would Chelsea or City.
