Saint Fan CaM

It’s taken a whole section on ITV and nothing about Saints, but hang on we might get a bit of mention after the ad break. It’ll probably focus on VVD’s spell at the club. Don’t give a shit about the team sheet…they’re all Saints players and should be able to show they’re worthy of playing in this game. We were going to get stuffed anyway, so it really doesn’t matter. Anyone who thinks we stood a chance has no clue whatsoever about the gulf in class in the squads. If we walk away with a goal or two and concede less than 7 then we’re doing ok. COYR!

Which is mad because he’s contributed the square root of very little to this campaign in terms of attacking efficiency. Reminds me a little of Mane before he came good, but given the league he’s in, there are few signs that Sulemana will get anywhere near Mane’s level of success.

This will be an embarrassment. Anyone who thinks this Saints squad is able to beat Liverpool is a sadly deluded fool…their squad is streets ahead of ours, so any amount of possession will be negated by their blistering speed. This really could be an utter rout…I’m saying 7-0.

Fixed!

AA gets a good header - great save. Unlike our keeper, has little to do for ages but comes alive at the right moment.

I think we know it’s not a master stroke!

Oh dear. Sulemana and Manning on…game over.

Rothwell should have scored there…as usual straight to keeper.

We’ll be losing this game. Just so predictable in every move forward even the Millwall thugs can stroll to a win.

Thats the Millwall massive.

Oh fook. AA on for Che and Aribo gives way to Rothwell. Positionally we’re all over the place.

Well Swansea warned us. Kept them in the Championship for how long? And they’ve not recovered since.

To be fair to Millwall, like below average sides before them, they’ve played the perfect game. When was the last time we scored two in the first half playing with a very low percentage of possession? Some of our play is sublime but ann unacceptable amount is slow, ineffective and frankly uninspiring.

Pass. Pass. Pass. Run a bit. Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Run a bit. Pass. Lose the ball. Rinse repeat.

Oh fuck. Millwall are a bunch of lucky lucky cnuts!

Excellent goal !!!! Che!!!

Smallbone did a good clearing up job there. Edozie lots of movement - no end product.

We still don’t have a decent striker - someone who knows where to be at the right time in the box.

Can see a red card coming and it could be anyone’s.

We’ve said it before but now it’s clearer than day. We’ve been found out big time.

Terrible foul on Edozie and no card. We get nothing from the FK.

Very soft freekick - gash from Baz

Brilliant from Stu

With AA dropped looks like RM had to shoehorn in Stephens at LB, hence Manning on the bench ( I can imagine that’s how Russ spun it to his mate). Thankfully I think Stephens can bluff his way through the game better than Manning. Concerned about Downes to a degree…you’d think he’d be on the bench for some minutes if he was close. Now a start against Liverpool looks unlikely.

For a player that is in the team because he’s great at Russball, he is positionally inept often getting caught out forward. Less so nowadays, but early in the season he often got caught wandering around trying to be the lauded inverted FB or whatever it was called (he was shit at that too). Putting all this together he unbalances the defence in my opinion and as such is a liability. At best, you could argue he’s just not suited to the system RM is now expecting of the team - Russball has moved on since Swansea…Manning hasn’t.
