great to see the under resourced police force are using their time wisely

Unlike other shit players we've had where we can frantically post "he clearly has talent, remember that *Insert one off moment or quality in their time here*"(see Ramirez Villa game, Maras pass against Leeds) We cant really do that with Baz can we.

Yes I get that I don’t hate it, the idea of nice but the reality is it won’t work. Team that win things don’t concede many, we do.

Really? When it works it’s great. The second goal yesterday was excellent. At times this season we’ve played the glorious stuff. First halves v Leeds and Swansea for example. The problem with it is that when it doesn’t work we look terrible. We’ve very easy to play against, we concede far too many goal, Many of them avoidable and we stick to it rigidly whatever which is costing us points. this is the problem with a philosophy. On paper it’s great, when you’ve got the worlds greatest players doing it usually against inferior players and you’re regularly playing clubs with a budget 1/5 of yours then it’s a lot easier to implement, when you’ve championship level players playing in a combative league it’s much much harder to make it work. I don’t mind Russball if I was a neutral but as a Saints fan it’s not going to win us promotion.

Possibly due to the goal came from Baz lumping it straight though to their goalkeeper with 30 seconds left. They scored from that.

The fact that a club like Man United want him proves what a success he’s been. We have an identity and a philosophy we might not achieve the clubs aim of automatic promotion but not all failure is bad you sad fucks.

It was DEFINITELY a fitness issue and anyone who disagrees with me doesn’t know anything about football

I love these theories I remember the days when Lowe was picking the team. So did Cortese, Reed and the senior players. We’ve also had Rohl, Black, Kelvin Davis were all responsible for everything good or bad depending on your perspective could it just be that Martins in game management is poor which is why we throw away so many games late on. From the start he doesn’t know what his best team is and is trying to include some senior players which appears to be to the detriment of the team at the moment?

Like Ipswich they find a way to win, we find a way not too

It’s unbelievable isn’t it. All of of them has to do is stand in front of the ball, all of them stood off whilst a weak toe poke trickles past them and Bozo in goal

I think it’s you that didnt watch the game pal. Ipswich scored their second about 20 mins before Bree was sent off. we were very good until they hit the post I’d say over the 90+ minutes we were the better team and still conceded 3. They won because they have defenders who get blocks in a keeper who makes important saves when it matters all we have is a have a philosophy.

How the fuck does he still get a shot in when he slips and there are 4 defenders around him Fucking Shambolic

Now we have the advantage of 10! 👊

Their keeper has made 2-3 important saves our keeper doesn’t

FFS two shite goals conceded

Must have been listening to Russell

He’s a funny one. Technically he’s really good but he looks quite awkward and lethargic at times. Been very good today and had been the last few times he’s started. Again strange he seems to be in and out the side.

Just thinking that Aribo been very good. Excellent first half we look loads better than them. They look quite a limited side from that showing.

Class from the Armstrong brothers there

He is our Trent Alexander Arnold

Wow instant response

dominant possession and do nothing with it Gave it away Didn’t clear it properly straight through Bazunu about as sainty a goal as you concede

It’s certainly brave continuing to pick Stephens

Exactly that. Sully comes in from now where then em he’s out today. Edozie who has done not much wrong doesn’t make the team, Armstrong doing well coming in from the right pushed inside to accommodate Brooks, etc. meanwhile when Downes is out we’ve got no one to come in and minimal cover at full back.
