I saw someone post in here that Carrick has turned United round. Just checked the scores and they're 2-0 down at home 🤣

Currently got it on, my god it's bad. Roma should be 3/4 up without really setting the world alight.

I've not watched much of United but seen alot of uproar around their running data and my god does it show tonight. Scarily both in and out of possession. 

Nothing happening ahead of the ball carrier, any runs that do happen are orchestrated and with only one player. Everyone is walking, some nice flashes from Mainoo but car crash everywhere else.

Will he make subs now, he rarely does this early

Even if he doesn't I don't believe for a second there won't be an improvement in the second half.

One of the worst halves of Saints football I've ever watched. And there's been plenty. They all need sacking. We've not been great all season but this is next level shit. West Brom better than us in every single way. West fucking Brom!

Sorry, to be clear, are you saying we should sack all of the eleven players? And the coaches? Or just the players (for a moderate approach)?

We're losing this in midfield. Two players in there is leaving us out numbered and West Brom know it. If we don't resolve this issue nothing will change in the second half.

Think he’s got half an eye on “where the f**k is Edozie now?!”

That is a very charitable reading of the situation

Although Edozie has been appalling too, don’t get me wrong

Downes screaming at Manning now. Both Manning and Edozie getting a bollocking from teammates this first half.

Love to see that Tbf

Worst performance under Tonda so far? 

Definitely it's awful, even Saints booed HT. I know people on here hate Russell Martin but this is the same but with nothing up front. Pissing round at back passing then lose ball. It very unlikely but only way we will score is via a pen.

Fuck it, playing this badly we may as well just go gung-ho and go out on our shield. 

 

Peretz

Stephens - Kevin - Wood

Fellows - JWP - Downes - Wellington

Azaz

Prince - Dobbin

Well, only read the last page here but it's all been said. Nobody is having a good game tonight. Downes is getting frustrated which will probably mean a booking. Edozie and Mubama need to be subbed. They haven't been as lazy as some people have suggested but Mubama doesn't keep and Edozie has tracked back a bit but is so lightweight.

Middlesbrough away was pretty bad. This is definitely up there so far.

That was more the second half, AA missed sitters at 0-0. Let’s hope Tonda gets Muamba off and puts a professional footballer in his place. That’s one of the shittiest 45 minutes I’ve seen in a Saints shirt, even Ali Dia looked better than that v Leeds. 

How on earth have him, Dozey Drawers, Larios the kid and Bazunu got gigs at City? At least we didn’t get burgled for a full transfer this time but needs putting right for 1 January.

That's on Schlotterbeck mate, come on. He had an age to get hold of the ball. 

I'm starting to wonder if there's one of those hotel illnesses going on, the whole team looks sluggish and not really with it.

I’ve assumed carbon monoxide poisoning

I was singing Manning's praises this week to someone, saying how much he's improved. My fault. Hook him!

If this was FM I'd be preparing 4 subs, try Ehibationham and bring on Fellows, Welington and Dobbin at half time. It couldn't be much worse.

Worst 45 minutes of the season and yet... we are only 1-0 down. Next goal in this game is crucial. 

He's on his own. Edozie is doing nothing going forward or defensively.

I’ve wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt as he has shown flashes. 
 

But he’s been given a lot of chances this season and stunk the place out every time. So weak on the ball

I think l would pick edouzie as the most frustrating saints player ever! the skill to end product ratio is non existent yet we have persevered with him for years.... Have to ask why!!!

To think Edozie had the cheek to moan about not getting minutes, while regularly turning in “performances” like this when he does get a chance. Hes the last of our pathetic 22/23 Man City signings and needs to go the same way as the others. Sick of seeing him at our club. He’s even worse than when he first signed 

Question, How would Sienza look if he played left back …. Manning has been horrendous…

This is too easy for them. Stop Azaz, stop everything. 

Azaz is good when he's got time on the ball and today's he's not getting any.

We can all see Mubama and Edozie are not good enough. Hopefully they'll be off for Dobbin and Fellows/ANOther.

Probably into his 50s now but would move better than Muamba and be less of a lazy git. 

Indeed. i assumed his analysis had gone up a notch.

Well, yes, of course... but that's my point...  when a team loses, even really good ones, it's usually because they're having a "bad day at the office"...   I'm not going to lose sleep over a one-off sub-par performance when we've got some key players missing and have been playing really well of late. Every team has games like this.... Hull City lost 15 games in the championship last season and are sitting comfortably in mid-table in the premier league right now... I'm sure they had plenty of games like this last season... Much more than we'll probably have I'd venture...As long as it doesn't become a habit then we can draw a line and pragmatically move on. 

FWIW, I think we'll come away with a draw from this game, which will be a decent outcome in the circumstances.

 

Really agree with this. One of the hardest away games we'll have and loads of good players missing.  If we lose its not the end of the world for me, just one of those games ina  very long season.

Quite a bump after our good run, to face a much better team on the night. WBA had enough chances to have been out of sight. 8 shots to our zero, and plenty of attacking opportunities.

Mubama made a couple of decent runs. But he's nowhere near Larin and very different to Dobbin. So we can't use him as a target man, and we can't expect him to interchange in the attack. It makes him look like a lump.

I've wanted Edozie to push on for years. But that left side, with Manning, has brought out the worst in both. Sam hasn't come close to beating a man; hasn't passed well; has been out muscled, and outpaced. He's tracking back more, to give Manning more options. But neither have been able to attack or defend. Downes has had a real go at both of them.

With us having no left side, and a lump up front, the rest has fallen apart. Players trying to compensate are then out of position, overrun, or in Stephens' case put into a position where old, and familiar, errors reappear.

Dobin, Fellows, Welington on for starters, removing Manning, Sam and Mubama. Wood can replace Stephens at some point, if he still looks error prone. Bragg for Downes when he gets his yellow. But the first 3 changes right away.

Dare I watch the second half... I'm supposed to be working!

Positive points: it can't get much worse, we are allowed 5 subs as per the Championship rules of the game, they are only 1 up presently, we have Peretz in goal... any more anyone?

the fact that its only 1-0 and that goal was a pen is a bloody miracle

Hmm well yes they’ve dominated but what have they created? A few shot over and a a few routine saves for Peretz

It feels like one of those games that we've been on the other side of many times over the years.

WBA will be going in at HT happy to be in the lead but expecting to have to score more "because they can't possibly that bad for the second half, can they?"
