Oh no I get your point totally. It isn’t Ralph’s squad and never will be because he isn’t single handily responsible for scouting and signing every single player. And of course Ralph would love to have better players, players we couldn’t afford. It’s unfortunate for Ralph that he’s manager of a bottom third premier league club and not Man City then. Poor old Ralph.

No point thinking about that. He wouldn’t be starting for us yet as he’d still be learning our way of playing

Edozie looks like one to me to bring on for 20 minutes or so when the game is more stretched, using his pace at a tiring full back could create a few late opportunities. Yesterday wasn’t ideal as he was brought on too late plus Villa were happy to shut up shop and sit on what they had. Be interesting to see how he develops this year. Why Aribo was on the bench was a mystery to me, his power in the attacking midfield position with Stuart Armstrong as well able to run at players plus Mara up front who no idea why hasn’t been given more time as he clearly has something with Adams then we’ve got a different proposition going forward than the useless Elyanoussi and Djenepo doing whatever it is Djenepo does.

A few years back at a fans forum he was waxing lyrical about his love of working with young players and described his dream signing as Mbappe 3 years earlier so when he was breaking Into the Monaco team. So now he has his wish of a team of young talent, but still prefers Elyanoussi 🤦

Brighton have a new manager Robert Di Zerbi. Had success with a small Italian club and also in the Ukraine. Likes to play attacking football and believe in young players. Sounds perfect for us but I’ve no idea where they found him as there is literally no manager available or the world that would fit our profile

Classic saintsweb post, there are literally no players with ability between the levels of Armstrong and Haaland 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks, I had no idea we had a recruitment team recruiting people. Now it makes sense why everyone was so nasty about that little Scottish fella who left for Rangers. Always wondered what he did So the “it’s not his squad” excuse will be a valid excuse forever more, excellent

So it’s still not his squad then?

They are have a good back for and power in midfield, but they don’t score many. we won’t score and they will probably Nick a winner. Predicting another dour 1-0 defeat

Arsenal look a very good side these days

Especially as we were desperate to get him, didn’t he originally turn us down?

You’d think so wouldnt you. Agreed a severance package and it won’t be to pay up his full contract. a lump sum or one years wages or something. Still a lot of money but that would be sensible. But then this is football and there were rumours doing the rounds a couple of years ago that David Moyes was still being paid by Man United when he took over at West Ham, so who knows the truth.

It feels like the end is inevitable whatever the result. We’re limping on at the moment and have been since the start of the year. It feels like the Pellegrino era when everyone was expecting him to go then he’d get a positive result to delay the inevitable for a few more weeks.

3 wins in 27 now. Everton up next with no wins this season. Wonder how this ends up 🤔

Yeah and came in next week and been our best player since. Ralph must have worked his magic on the training ground imagine how bad he’d be without that extra week to learn our game

The window was alright, all the new signings look decent, although I remain to be convinced about Bazunu but only two of them started last night. I guess they all still have a lot to do to learn out game 🙄 I new left back looked good by very small, he made a tackle and bounced of the Villa player ending up on the floor. Aribo for me is miles better than Elyanoussi and should be starting where he plays. If he was fit enough to play 45 minutes he’s fit enough to start. And who knows what’s going on with Maitland-Niles. Not even in the squad because he needs to learn our game? Surely it’d help by being in the squad listening to super Ralph’s wisdom.

Indeed learn our game that has failed for basically the whole of this year. Probably best for everyone he doesn’t

Putting useless people in jobs they have no right to be in

Especially as none of the others looked like they understood what our game was either

He was the worst player on the pitch by some distance in one of the worst performances I’ve seen for years. Pretty incredible achievement really

The Spanish Eric Black, yes?

You should have gone out for a meal, even if it didn’t end up like that at least you wouldn’t have to do the washing up from your takeaway whilst she’s snoring on the sofa

It was but once Ralph has time to gel his squad together things will improve

This is like an away performance from the mid 90s. Absolutely rubbish with hardly any shots at goal and losing in a poor game to a crap goal.

About frigging time
