Saint Fan CaM

Thank fuck that’s over. Now get rid of Juric - he’s not the answer. The players don’t give a fuck but might do a bit more if Rusk and Lallana take over. What the fuck does it matter?

Nice cross in - falls to edge of box - no Saints player within 30 yards.

We’re ok - Cpt Jack to the rescue. Crowd shouting “you don’t know what you’re doing “. Can’t say I disagree.

True up to a point - Dibling is no where near MLT levels of ball skill or scoring ability.

Amongst many many other things - like the basics.

We’re going to smash L1.

Dibling. An enigma. Looks great for 15 seconds then rubbish for 30 minutes.

OMG - looks like a fucking training game at 72 minutes and 2-0 down. Utter utter shite. And then TP scores. Well well.

We get a FK on goal - Wolves get a shot on goal. Useless.

We must have given the ball away so many times…even Aribo who is usually sound.

Whatever we get for Dibling in the summer will be enough. Doesn’t deserve a start.

We’re making Wolves look like fucking World beaters FFS.

Oh FFS - such a simple goal to concede. Pissing about with the ball - Manning stands off the winger and nobody marks the striker. Just terrible.

Les smashes the ball and Suga uses his arm - again!

That was a nice move from Saints - a case of too many cooks.

Dibling looking more like Bambi than Aribo.

Great cross - if only we had a tall striker!

Yeah but he’s not even the worst!

Sounds like commentary are already on Wolves side. They’ll be purring if we go behind.

Fuck me - I’m really starting to think that SR and now Juric are Pompey agents. I’m struggling to understand how that side gets picked otherwise!

Amazing to think now that Yoshi, Redmond and Hojberg would totally outclass the level of player we’re now stuck with. It really does reveal what terrible recruitment we’ve endured over the intervening years.

Why ouch? That’s hardly a reason to celebrate Martins tenure! 🤣

This will be far from an easy game in terms of gaining points, but there’s absolutely nothing to lose in a home game, so go as strong as possible up front. Per the changes I’ve made above, I’d leave Dibling on the bench to run at tired legs later. Score? Who the hell knows…optimistically 2-1. If Juric goes back to 5 defenders we’ll lose 1-2 or 1-3.

I think a key thing for me is Juric is less wedded to a specific system…he’s trying different formations etc. OK, we may not like everything we see, but at least he’s trying. And the build up play is definitely less laborious and has almost eliminated the errors at the back resulting from endless suicidal passing between the GK and defenders. This in turn means we have less possession, but it’s difficult to tell whether that’s made us worse - we couldn’t get any f-ing worse under Martins intransigent system.

So do you prefer watching Man City’s football over Nottingham Forest or Brighton or even Bournemouth? Again, all of the latter three teams gets my vote…so much more entertaining.
