That's the key. Spending for the sake of it on more moi and djenepo clones.

Biggest difference for me in our great escape squads and this one is the demeanor of the squad. The escape teams had an intensity and focus about them, no smiles just determination. They looked gutted when results didn't go our way. Contrast that with Smiley Selles and our current crop. They look like they don't have a care in the world. So disconnected. At the end of games they are all smiles and chatty with the oppo. WTF?! I'd be fucking devastated and already planning how to fix it and up the performance. Not this lot, off to post on tiktok and give a soundbite that they don't even believe in. All smiles in training. It's weird.

I coach U14s and tell them basically that "it's a simple game, why overcomplicate it?". We set up to pass and move when in attack, we don't need step overs or trying to dribble through the oppo, support each other and get as many shots on goal as possible. Defending is safety first, keep our shape, clear it or look to pass to open players, if unsure just kick it out and we regroup back into position. Simple as fuck but really effective.

Maybe that's our problem. A player finds themselves in a great position to score but is thinking, what zone is this again? Am I penetrating or blocking? Hmm. Chance gone!

Great so just low block it up to Moi in the red zone, press it...press it...penetrate and recycle it to JWP, he can the enter against the ball into the twilight zone. Since it's the twilight zone, Saints WIN!!!

Red zone? How long was I asleep for?

Unlikely, he probably takes forever to unwrap a Johnny that his dick is limp and his girl has long since left...

Seems a bit drastic. What have they done?

How low the bar is set. We'll be celebrating when we take a throw in that actually goes to one of our players next...

Alcaraz has been one of our only bright lights. FFS!

What exactly do managers see in Moi? Starting with 10 men again eh?

Bracing myself for Elyanoussi, Bree and AARm...

They certainly do. - Not scored more than 1 goal in an EPL game since mid January - A forward or attacking midfielder hasn't scored an EPL goal for Saints since November. - 90th out of 92 in 2022 - Two goals in the last 2 months in the EPL The rest must be shitting themselves!

Cool pen. Phew.

Penalty Newcastle. Izak!!!

Fuck off VAR. What utter trash!

Probably chip it straight into keeper's hands.

1-1

Where were those cock ups when we had them in the semi. Cunts!

Twat Newcastle just gifted Forest a goal. FFS!

0-5 We won't score, we're incapable. Richarlison hasn't scored a league goal for then so that's nailed on, he'll get 2, 1 for Kane, 1 for Son, 1 for Dyer.

Our wasters couldn't beat an egg. 11 games left. Can't see us getting to 30 points or scoring more than about 5 goals. We are terrible.

I just want to cheer a few goals...is that too much to ask?

Need goals to do that and we don't have any in our side. Those teams you mention do. We can't rely on a team misfiring and then getting enough free kicks in JWPs office to snatch a goal ourselves. We're going down and fully deserve it.

Never thought I'd say this but our current 10s aren't fit to lace Redmond's boots. How utterly depressing.
