Saint Fan CaM

Carnage awaits.

The Ralph / Rohl partnership re-ignited at Saints. Now that would be headline writing gold. Not that I believe it would happen now Rohl has established himself as a high profile manager. If I were to choose one or the other, it would be Rohl I think, but either would be preferable to fucking Rooney, Gerrard or Lampard.

Fixed it for you. 😉

The thing I fear the most is that SFC is embedded with the SR way of playing football - possession based or whatever you want to call it. The past rationale to this is clear in my mind… SR - We want promotion back to the Prem, but we can’t afford expensive players or any that have high wage demands that will exceed our ceiling. We need a manager and coaching staff who understand and can utilise a possession based system that keeps the ball at all costs - if they don’t have the ball they can’t hurt us. Step up Martin who installs such a system across the entire club (in tow with the entire Group). I’m not seeing or hearing anything so far that indicates to me that the above rationale has been abandoned. Is Spors suggesting a new strategy or direction?

It may not be Rusks fault that we’re so shit, but that’s not to say he’s the answer. On yesterdays evidence he’s not.

Very well explained post, however it does slightly over-simplify the recruitment failure. That started a long time ago - you could possibly trace back to the post-Koeman days when squad quality started to be diluted with the lack of decent replacements for Pelle, Tadic and Mane. Then a lack of replacement for Ings, but we were already on the slippery slope downwards by then. And as the team performances suffered, so did the ability to attract better players - it goes hand in glove.

Has anyone here seen Rusks after match comments? The Echo reported it but it’s all behind a paywall. I believe he essentially blamed the players?

Give it up - the tw@t has just presided over arguably the worst shitshow ever, playing Russball tactics…taking off our best, fittest player while chasing a 2-0 deficit. If you think he’s worthy of a first team role then you’re even more deluded than most in here think you are. We MUST break free somehow of the Russball vice grip thats around the players necks. Rusk and Lallana are not the answer…today proved that beyond doubt.

You’re right - after selling/losing the best players it will be several orders of shit worse. If you think otherwise you’re a deluded fool.

Manga - young as or even younger than Dibling and twice the player.

WTF was that from Tall Paul - braindead!

Here we go - Vardy 3-0?

Crowd shouting “you don’t know what you’re doing” with Fernandes off for Smallbone. Cant say I blame them in the slightest.

Their players are so much better moving the ball forwards. We dream of playing decent football.

Yellow Sulemana - why? Too slow.

Absolutely this - this team looks like a club in free-fall. The decline has been slow and started sometime between Koeman and Ralph…like a case of corporate footballing Alzheimer’s.

If we disregard the two goals, this performance is a disgraceful advert for professional football. Watching that team - a team that has played many, many games together - would have you believing that they’d never had a coaching session…never discussed how to form a cohesive attacking movement…never had coaching on set plays etc etc etc. It really is disgraceful.

Don’t think 5 or 6 to nothing is very realistic at the moment.

Told ya - switch off. While we piss around without a care in the World, Leicester make us look like a poor L1 team.

Here we go…2-0.

It’s remarkable how just when you think the team look the worst shade of shit it could achieve - they conspire to plumb new depths.

Got a big lump in his shoulder - called his fucking head!

Ayew poleaxes the Ref - good…he’s shit. Ratface blew the whistle to stop the game! 🤣

Fucking Vardy - utter crap defending. Bednarek lost Vardy - standard.

Fuck me Manning is another level of shit!
