Any manager with experience would have rang the changes, would have hooked players and changed the shape. I watch Cambridge United go 2 down in 20 minutes on Saturday at Harrote and Harris made changes and changed the shape… league 2. It also sends a message to those players and the others on the pitch, do your job or be replaced.

Norwich's new striker has three goals tonight now. Four goals in his first two. Shame we don't have the resources to compete with Norwich and can't identify such players.

Bro if he scored in his first game for us he would be on the bench in his second game.

You cant score if your not picked

Eckert wouldn't give him a game.

Early goal in the second half for us and we could at least have a go. I don't care if one goes in from Azaz's bum But I'm not holding my breath.

Easy to blame Tonda, but he’s not the one being out battled, losing 50/50’s and giving the ball away. 

The manager isn't the one banging in the goals during a good run either, so does that count him out of being praised when the players are playing well...?

People complain we try to be hipster by signing unproven, foreign kids on the cheap. We sign a 30 year old with nearly 90 caps for Canada, and people start complaining we didn't sign a 21 year old with 11 goals in a year and a half in Denmark.

Not really, they're both fairly average at best.

I like what I've seen of Matsuki, skills and energy wise, but it's largely been all fart and no shit. Needs more goals and assists, even if he is young.

He's completely responsible for picking the players, the setup, and the tactics. That first half is entirely on him.

And what, he knew enough to change it at half time? But not at 2nil or 3nil? Give over. Must win match and he spaffed it.

The common theme is someone will complain no matter what

Yes and when they are put any kind of pressure they just fold.

one or two flat track bullies. Fellows is obviously a decent championship player, but he just lacks that extra bit you need to be a PL player. Wellington is not a great defender. That's why he couldn't get a game in the PL - he sells himself too often. The first touch of players like Archer are just not good enough.

It's not all down to Tonda. The players have not performed so far tonight.

League 2 , but Neil Harris is far more clued up than the chump we’ve got managing us as part of a little experiment by these owners

I stopped watching it at HT.

If we dont reset the manager position (once again) in the summer, we will finish comfortable bottom half (again).

Hilariously terrible, yet completely expected.

I'd take Azaz off and put Larin on and continually cross the ball into him and Stewart for the last half an hour. Could be fun.

Sod off Tonda. 

 

 

Also, when was the last time a Saints team looked seriously aerobically fit? Poch era?

Hasenhuttl in the COVID days. We outworked everyone on the stretch.

Azaz sometimes shows incredible vision and at other times looks like a headless chicken. Never seen a player like it.

Very embarrassing to capitulate against such a poor Leicester side who started the game lacking in confidence but Eckert sorted that problem out for them.

I'm not sure what he actually does well tbf. The money we spent on him should make him one of the best players in the league, I am not seeing it. 

 

 

Yep. Never got the hype for him on here. Guess that's not the play-offs this season then.
