Matthew Le God

We have the majority of possession (currently 72%), so where he is when we have possession... is where he is for the majority of the game! Why is where he is for the majority of the time not the best why to describe his position?

Left back in a four, with Manning in midfield.

You missed the question. Why would a ref choose to 'make a name for himself' in a way that is not beneficial for himself?

It is not five at the back. Stephens is in midfield in possession.

Because it was a response to a claim of the ref wanting to make a name for himself. Why would a ref choose to 'make a name for himself' in a way that is not beneficial for himself?

The question was about what he would do to benefit himself. Why would a ref do that in order to benefit himself? It does the opposite!

Have you tried typing Wolves Southampton stream into google?

He was injured in the warm up, he wasn't suspended in the warm up! 😉

That doesn't answer the question that was asked.

By doing what?

Mark Bitcon is Saints Director of Football

No, that is the CEO Phil Parsons. Not the DoF.

Saints already have a DoF

Why bother writing it if you didn't mean it?

Managers don't need to be at a club for the entire plan. That doesn't mean they aren't part of the plan for the time they are at the club. Nigel Adkins was part of the Liebherr/Cortese plan to get us to the PL, we then upgraded with Pochettino. That doesn't mean Adkins wasn't viewed as part of the plan for the time he had at the club.

We lost... like Ipswich just did 😉

They were playing sides not remotely close to Man City in ability.

What makes you think that? https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24348152.martin-insists-southampton-will-attempt-keep-contract-trio/

Not really, given we are playing possibly the best team in world football today. The issue is when he thinks it after defeats vs Leicester, Ipswich, Forest, Brentford, Bournemouth.

Player on near side looked to be playing him on.

Russia possession of Ukraine 18% vs 82%

It is not embarrassing today. We are playing away at arguably the best team in world football. The rest of the season is the embarrassing bit!

Not quite... (dullard mode 😉)

My post was a reply to someone talking about the style last season. You are asking why my reply didn't talk about this season.
