Wade Garrett

Played well today. Deserves to keep his place.

Can’t see anything other than. 4-0 thrashing today. Those Brummies won’t know what’s hit them.

I am more interested in some stale bread in my cupboard than pre-match press conferences. Some people have got too much time on their hands.

I am hoping that the football he wants to play is quick, with lots of movement. Maybe it’s a case of the players still getting used to it. I am hoping that he is as frustrated as the rest of us when we play perpetual walking football. We’ll win tomorrow.

Any news on the Loch Ness Drogba? I would start him on one foot over Adams and Mara.

Bree is dogshit.

Charles is having a bad one.

Baz made a difficult save low to his left on Saturday. Much better.

Thought we were much the better side. I really like Shea Charles in midfield. Downes was good today. Subs worked well. Think Stu was knackered. Love that the team really went for it in the last 15. We are so much better when we drop the walking football.

Thought we were the better side. Deserved the win.

Great finish

Manning is a truly awful footballer

9 months. Fucking hell, we might as well have signed Bobby Charlton.

Football is a simple game made difficult by idiots. I would have my wide players on the touch lines creating more space across the pitch.

Law of averages. How many goals does it lead to - not many. How many times do we concede when we give it away In dangerous areas - quite often. There are other ways of attacking.

Saints performances aside, my original point is that possession football is really boring. A lot of sides out there are trying to copy Guardiola. Personally, I can’t see the point of putting your goalkeeper or defenders under pressure by needlessly passing to them. I don’t see the point of judging keepers on how good they are with their feet, and not how commanding they are, or, God forbid, how good they are at stopping shots. If possession football becomes the standard, I’ll switch the tv off. It took all my powers of patience to watch the Arsenal game on Sunday, and it was being billed as the game of the season. It is so fucking tedious and boring.

Don’t judge everyone by your own low standards.

Were you at the game? Why do you think they got booed off?

It shouldn’t be. The Arsenal game on Sunday was truly fucking boring, as have our displays been this season. Ive nothing against passing football, but not propaganda football (as described by Gordon Strachan).

he’s been playing within himself for a few seasons to be fair.

To be fair to Martin, he was fuming with Che for giving them the ball back. He has specifically told the team not to give the opposition the ball back in any circumstances. Che is a fucking onion.

Terrible positioning for their goal. Still, he’s only young. Give him a few more seasons.

Not sure who would want to sign him. He was absolutely useless yesterday. If I was him, I would sign the 3 year contract. If I was Saints I would be renegotiating.

Just watching 2 of the most proficient possession football sides - Arsenal v Man City. It’s like walking football and is so fucking boring. If this is the model Saints are aspiring to I’ll probably give it a miss.

Downes made a reference to walking football. I don’t think Martin liked the second half performance to be fair to him. Time and again, we immediately played the ball the way we were facing instead of turning into space. Smallbone was the worst culprit, but he wasn’t alone. Martin’s subs on the hour baffled me a bit. Stuart Armstrong is brave on the ball and drives forward, Sulemana was having a quiet period, but is a lot better than Edozie. Che Adams annoys the hell out of me. We put a number of good balls into the box, but he just waits for it. He never makes a near post run. I’m glad the new striker is almost fit.
