Mr X

Don't worry we are going to score totally against the run of play! Smash and grab 😂

They look like the home side 😂

If it's not working against forest what's it going to like against a man city

It needs massive changes to Martin's style his whole play philosophy and he's not prepared to change for the premier league which will cost us

Terrible clearance from smallbone there

On this evidence can you blame them?

Jesus a gulf in class here

It's clear already that were going to struggle in this league we don't look dangerous at all

Sullemana is another one not cut out for English football I feel

All yesterday proved is that we are going to really struggle and it will be a miracle if we don't go straight back down, the spine of the team goalkeeper and strikers particularly simply aren't good enough. Trying to see positives in not scoring against ten men that only had 20% possession in the second half is scraping the barrel what are we going to do when team have more possession than us. The good news is it's only one game in but how on earth are we going to correct what's glaringly obvious when we've had all summer to do so and failed! RM has some kind of naive faith that players like McCarthy AA aribo smallbone etc are suddenly going to become premier league quality players

So casual from McCarthy what the fuck was he thinking

Another that never achieved his potential, style over substance

Matt Le Tissier 💪🤣

Let's hope Martin isn't too distracted with his extra curricular activities 😂 joking aside does he deserve his chance no matter what this season even if it turns out the championship is his level. Will the club intervene if we are bottom at Xmas probably not as a long term project having just signed a new contract. Was hoping we would kick on and sign a couple of really exciting players that would get the club buzzing but so far noone to get too excited about.

20 million doesn't get you a lot nowadays as we found out with sullemana and tall paul

Everyone talking about lack of premier league experience in our players noone talking about lack of premier league experience in our manager 😂

Ridiculous comment he's not even in the top 5 worst strikers we've had.... We've had some real gash ones....

Maybe he'll even be as good as Yoshida.... Hmm

Before we get too carried away it's not pronounced like the English for sugar it's pronounced su - gah so none of the songs will make sense to him

I agree. The club begs to differ it seems unless it really is all just rumours.... Could well be! Let's hope so!

He's allegedly on 120k.a week at west ham which is crazy, we won't pay much more than half that! so I can't see him agreeing, depends if he wants to play but it's pretty obvious he isn't going to recapture past form just by returning to the club! Would be a stupid signing imo

Inggs and lallana are not the answer to our problems! Nor was Walcott, I can't think of many if any players that have come back to the club and been a huge success?. This club needs to stop revisiting our past and look to the future of signing new players!

I don't think the club is prepared to pay the going rate for a decent striker 30m plus we are going to continue our fashion of cheap has-beens that might possibly come good again, the last money spent on sullemana and stewart was evidence our club talent scouts are clearly lacking

Armstrong and Stephens may know what it takes to be a success in the premier league but they certainly haven't got it, mediocre at best defender and poor striker at premier league level.

Fuck me have we learnt nothing with the Walcott signing! Another player that's past it will offer nothing and couldn't wait to leave us at the first offer, why do saints always prioritise sentimentality over sound business sense!.
