Azaz only looked good in the brief period following Ireland qualifying. He was running on adrenaline from that and has since come down from the high. Manning was the same. Entirely possible if Ireland don't qualify, Tonda doesn't get the job permanently.

Downes even passes sideways when he should be shooting FFS.

He's making a huge difference.

Back to our own keeper from a corner and then straight out of play. Cowards.

Azaz is not getting in the game at all. We might as well get a second striker on.

Downes ignoring three options forward to play it back to THB under pressure who has no choice but to boot it forward. Good job Flynn.

Why are the commentators talking as if Southampton is on an island off of Lands End? It's an hour away from London FFS.

Stewart ran 5 yards, needs to pick the remaining 45 yards he has left in him carefully.

Generous.

We all know what that means.

Guess the brass band have been sold in the window?

Forgot Ings was at Sheffield United, fuck sake.

I think clarity for the team means the same old boring shit we played for a few years before, and the style of football that has infected academies up and down the country. Guardiola inspired possession above all else risk averse stat focussed bollocks. When players across the nation have been learning the same style since they were 16, asking them to do anything different must mess with their heads, bless them.

Can we get Nigel Adkins in for the Pompey game please.

Again...if they're too thick to play a style of football that isn't passing sideways and backwards at every opportunity, they should be booted out the door.

Again, our senior players are serial losers - we should be backing the manager, not them.

You literally have no idea how we would be doing now if we'd kept Still. None of us do. I'm willing to bet though that had we kept working on it, we'd have improved steadily and been in a better position than we are now - lest we forget that there were many games where we cut through teams and created dozens of chances but were let down by poor finishing. Then first game after he'd gone, we played shite, created two chances and scored them both. Go figure.

That's more on the players than on him isn't it, as the way they know how to play is what we're seeing now. I'd much rather have given him the whole season and next summer to rebuild the squad completely, getting rid of the brainwashed keep ball merchants the squad is full of.

Alright lads, I read it having just woken up and not being fully with it. It was only meant to be a joke (that's generally what the laughing emoji is for), I'm not actually accusing them of anything. Jesus Christ.

Thank god we chased out someone who wanted to rip up the players pedestrian football instincts and get them playing football with higher intensity and more individual autonomy about when/how they can move the ball forward.

Not the clearest way to start that post...😂

Nah.

We're worse than under Still.

Stoke basically paying us to shoot a hole in their dinghy. Cheers lads.

One game out of the team and people already playing down how monumentally shit Bazunu is. Hope he never ever plays for us again.
