Saint Fan CaM

Manning is a poor excuse of a defender FFS.

Corner - Manning shit as usual.

Downs on - AA off.

If Still goes 4 at the back then he needs MADs on at RB.

The stats would suggest that Stoke are marginally the home team. JayRob hitting the post twice might suggest otherwise. Whether it’s 5 at the back or something else, it’s clear our midfield to attack transitions are basically poor. The one thing that’s keeping us in the game is the shiteness of Stoke up front, which is not really where we should be if we want to be a promotion chasing team.

At least the Ref knows where his yellow card is.

The Ref is just too slow seeing what’s happening on and off the ball.

Rudoni scores - that’s another £5m on his price.

Stoke are a bunch of fucking Neanderthals!

Wood pissing blood from a nose smack.

Wood looking good.

Fernandes is a cut above.

We should be bossing this but we’re giving up midfield. No targets up front.

Robinson trying to do too much.

I was just about to write that - idiot.

Welington looks to be in all kinds of pain. 😬

Stoke looking like the home side! 🤨🙄

Defence is looking shite.

On the plate for AA - he slips over. Poor.

Another chance for AA - poor.

Wide? That was nearer the corner flag! 😉🤣

Manning in the bench as Will fancies not conceding early. Stephens in back three - disappointing but inevitable. AA up front…good for an early press - again inevitable. It’s going to be a difficult day.

So you think Sugawara is more able to perform well than Mads? OK then.

I agree with those saying we need to keep Quarshie in place to gain experience and create a solid partnership with Stephens (would prefer THB but Cap’n Jack will never be replaced unless he’s injured). I believe it’s been confirmed that Mads has had a good pre-season, so it would be strange not to get an international defender straight into the starting 11.

Will believe he’s gone to Everton when I see it on the OS. I thought Still said he was available for selection this weekend - perhaps he’ll use the opportunity to come in in the 88th minutes to wave goodbye? Perhaps he’ll get injured by a burly Stoke slugger and the transfer put into doubt? If it comes into being then I’m pleased that it’s Everton who have had their pants pulled down. I mean - £45m + on a nipper that’s got some tricks, but has hardly played like a £45m player for us. He will go with my blessing and sigh of relief that it’s over. I’m sure many of us will be watching his ‘development’ closely.
