Baird of the land

Is the halfwit really going to wait till 60th minute to make a sub. I'd be investigating whether he has money on us being relegated

Pathetic. Can we get rid of the useless goon Selles and let anyone else manage the team

It amused me no end that our first 2 attacks of the 2nd half were long balls humped up to our non existant target man striker(who is sitting on the bench)

Dogshite coach clearly happy going for a point

We're the only premier league club that mistook the gambling ban as actually a ban on playing strikers

Get the Useless Aribo off at HT. Get one of our actual strikers on the pitch.

We do look like a team that hasn't looked at the league table. You'd assume on the basis of this half that both teams were virtually safe on 33 points, not that we have 23 points

No but We don't dare play our 6 foot 7 aerial threat even against garbage like Palace though

Seems more like we are playing with 10 men with him on the pitch at the moment

Ex Saints, Iain Dowie isn't it?

Palace look there for the taking. Just a shame saints have set up not take advantage.

Good cross, just a shame saints couldn't be bothered to play a striker who might of buried it.

Aribo, what a pile of garbage

Tall Paul has looked a threat when we've actually bothered trying to play to his strengths. I don't get how playing a useless immobile midfielder out of position there is somehow better than plaaying either of the actual strikers we have fit.

Yeah clearly the way to get into this Saints lineup is don't dare try and do anything crazylike scoring.

Is that a baldrick cunning plan? Playing someone even slower on the wing than Moi, coupled with 2 non striking strikers.

Just gets more and more depressing seeing Saints Lineup. No proper striker starting despite 2 on the bench in a huge must win game. Aribo parachuted out of the cold to play there instead

Find it seriously depressing that the local paper's website is seriously predicting us not playing a striker in a must win home game.

Interesting comparison. If we just had 1 striker as good as 2004 now. I remember being bemused at our CB and CM transfer strategy in 2004. I was equally confused we refused to contemplate playing Baird who managed to go from playing on an fa cup final to being ignored until Burley finally cottoned on he was a decent player years later.

Bazanu KWP Bednarek ABK Perraud AMN Lavia JWP Djenepo Onachu Adams

Last chance saloon really. Pity the team seem to be sleep walking their way to relegation. Would love to see us to go for it and get a lead and grind it out but don't have any confidence they will.

I think if you get the right manager in and play to his strengths he will.

Of established managers maybe Moyes for me. Think West Ham will get rid even though he'll keep them up.

To me that's the frustrating thing. It was obvious Mara is more suited to this game (City) than he was to (west Ham) away. Play Onachu against West Ham and Mara here.

First half. I can see the plan. Play a false nine and cling to dear life. i don't like it but If Sulemana wasn't poor it might have paid off. Spending 22M on him rather than recalling tella looking crazier by the minute. Had to at least make the keeper save the one on one(rather than tackling himself) & needs to cross the ball with his left foot rather than pass it out (just before they break and score the opener). As for the goal. Bednarek standling deeper than anyone while marking no one (just poor). ABK's marking of Haaland wasn't good but no clue why Bedanrek hands him over rather than stick like glue to haaland himself. No changes at Half-time confuses me completely too. The plan failed, they scored. Get Mara and djenepo on at HT.(the players who have actually scored against city this season). Just rolling on as if they hadn't scored is nuts.
