JWP sent off vs Chelsea. Slipped and grabbed the ball when Chelsea were breaking clear down the right wing. Second yellow.

Still here is he? FFS! So we gift Vardy and co a nice cosy 3pts and then what, throw him to the Lions vs City? He needs to b go now!

Very Saintsy to have a heroic defeat to a big club. Next part is to be totally abject in the 6 pointer that's coming up.

That's probably news to Arsenal fans...

He was so positive in the first games, energetically getting forward to set up attacks but beard brains has coached him out of that and he's probably playing confused and at odds with his instincts.

I watched with a friend, an Arsenal fan. Both he and Arsenal were particularly nervous at 2-1 up. I think we missed a very good chance of forcing a draw due to sloppiness.

Trying to collect them all!

Jesus!

I missed what happened with Stewart. Was he subbed for an(other) injury or tactical?

Wait, is Tall Paul on bench?

Then DIG THE FUCK INNNN! (apologies for the hockey joke that will probably be a wooosh for 97 % of forum).

Also it confuses players. What do they need to do to get a spot and keep it? If a player gets a spot on merit, then plays well, he keeps it. But not with Russell Baldrick, he's a rule unto himself.

Might go wash the car. Nice warm sunny day here.

He's utterly lost the plot and taking the piss now.

How does the second half go?

Has everything we are missing. Pace, directness, composure, aggressively attacking crosses, organization, meaningful attacks with a purpose, good finishing. Uggghhh *sobs uncontrollably*

Only 5-0? Luxury. I'm imagining double figures and straight red cards for Dibling and Ramsdale...

We're going to get royally rogered. The scoreline will depend on what Arsenal want it to be, if they want 10, they'll get it, if they feel like taking it easy then 5 or 6-0.

Ok phew. You had me in the first part.

Brilliant post! 👏

Fire him into the sun!

It is utterly absurd and shows that he's run out of ideas. He's a former defender who can't even coach defenders. What hope do the mids and forwards have? His "system" didn't work at his other clubs and only got us promoted because our squad had players in who could score at championship level to helpn us win 4-3, 5-3, or 3-2. You simply can't do that in the EPL with championship level strikers against teams with EPL defenders and EPL strikers. Was never, ever going to work. New guy could come in, get us solid at the back and difficult to play against. We might still struggle for goals but we sure as shit won't be giving teams 2-0, 3-0 head starts.

Pinder must be close to firing him. Too much wanking around at the back and refusing to stick one into the box.

I was watching at my desk at work, my office mate doesn't play football, has never really watched it, doesn't really know much about it. He wheeled his chair over and asked, "which one is southampton, yellow?". I nodded and he followed up with, "this is probably a really stupid question, but why do they run and pass so slowly, then back to those guys, who also run and pass slowly, isn't the goal quite far from them?". Yep, a 35 year old Physics teacher with no experience of football knows more than our "manager". Ugh!

He'll start with top scorers THB and Suga up front with Dibs behind them.
