Oh of course, yes.....plus he's got a murial in the Northam hasn't he ? Silly me.

First goal Stephens plays a ridiculous pass back into the penalty area, why ffs? Second goal he gets in Bednerek’s way. FFS why do we have to keep putting up with playing this bloody liability?

It’s funny how RM gets prickly with Adam Blackmore when he dares to raise any slight criticism of “the system” I hope he hasn’t got Sky cos the microscope in this league is huge, Neville and Carragher will absolutely tear his methods apart.

I actually wasn’t joking 👀

Maybe Lallana could tell him he’s fkin deluded given his experience

I don’t mind that if it’s the players he’s been protecting all this time like Armstrong, Smallbone, Aribo and Capt. Jack

The problem is RM believes in his style so much that he’s not going to be prepared to change even when the penny drops that every team is better than he’s ever faced in his career having never managed above the Championship. What he needs is a little humility and to admit that there is a need to establish yourself in the league before you think you can take on Pep and co. and beat them at their own game. What is the old pros line ? You have to earn the right to play. That’s what RM needs to do. He won’t cos he’s too stubborn or arrogant of course……and that’s his main weakness.

Like he was today yeah 🤣

Didn’t you hear the forum on Solent? To quote RM “Jacks great, he can do whatever he wants”

But we all know that, the only one who’s burying his head in the sand is bloody RM

He’ll take Suga off, move KWP to right back and slot his bestie into left back, fuck knows who he brings on but that’s what he’ll do in defence.

I’m bloody sure it is

Totally agree.

I was quite optimistic after the window shut yesterday and while I knew there were some who couldn’t play yet I’m afraid that starting line-up has completely deflated me.

It’s not so much that, it’s more that to accommodate him we play a more defensive line-up.

Same old, apart from Ramsdale. So what did RM see in the first half last week that results in the same starting lineup of outfield players?

Given the signings I think after the international break RM needs to break his Stephens/Smallbone/Aribo/Armstrong love in !

I've gone for an 8 which would have been higher had we gotten a Centre Forward through the door, thats my main worry but hopefully Archer or one of the wide players who can play through the middle can step up. I dont want to see that U shaped formation again.

Sadly I think you're right on that.

How the hell we have kept KWP for the second season running is just incredible. Sign a new deal Kyle, stop this messing about 🤣

Maitland-Niles, bloody hell I had totally wiped him from my memory !

Drop Capt. Jack? Wash your mouth out !! 🤣

Absolutely, there’s a bit of straw clutching going on here !

That makes sense 🙂

You never appeared on the old game show 3-2-1 did you ? 🤣
