Absolutely. He’s got that bit of quality to unlock defences. He’s not going to be sliding passes through or curling them into the top corner every time he gets it like people seem to expect but his contribution to the team means he has to play and fans need to stop being dicks and expecting him to carve defences open every time he touches the ball

Surprised you didn’t try and get the government to pay for it

Coventry v Saints - Saturday 1230
OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint replied to LegalEagle's topic in The Saints
We seem to have a real problem with clubs that put players behind the ball. Coventry won't so providing Tonda doesn't do a brain fart and revert to 5 at the back, we've got a real chance to get something from this match. The danger is he forced to rest too many potential match winning players No mention from the club about Scienza's fitness. Given we play Norwich next Wednesday, there's a chance he might even be rested. Similarly, Stewart's 'tightness' might mean he's also rested. Middlesbro fans said Azaz goes missing in key games. He need to find some of those threaded passes in this match. - Today

No Scienza is the worst possible outcome against this lot. We do have the squad capable of getting a result but it depends which version of us turns up. Peretz Bree THB Stephens Manning Charles Downes Edozie Azaz Fellows Larin There’s a couple in there who don’t deserve a start, but the way Coventry play should hopefully help the likes of Azaz. We’re always better against teams who don’t just sit in a low block the whole game.

Agree, it wasn't his best cameo but other than Scienza, who else have we got who can run directly past defenders? We need that directness in the team otherwise we pass sideways and backwards (which we did a lot of yesterday). Also think Sam Edozie has bulked up marginally so is not so prone to being pushed off the ball. He could play an important part in our run in.

Temple Israel. Coincidence Hypo?

He won’t sign for us now. There’s no Smallbone to play with.

This chart illustrates what subjectively most of us have thought of Azaz so far this season: a lot of creative potential but not much else: Now, Ireland international Finn Azaz is consistently finding space in front of the midfielders. He can drop to provide support during an opposition press. As the Saints progress, he will operate behind the striker, where he’s most effective in dictating play in the final third. He comfortably operates among the highest in terms of playmaking, finding himself in the 97th percentile for key passes and the 60th percentile for progressive passes. Finn Azaz (25/26) stats by DataMB. Finn Azaz (25/26) stats by DataMB. Almost the very definition of a luxury player. He flickers brightly in some games but is too easily snuffed out in others. To those of us brought up on MLT, he leaves a lot to be desired. But beggars cannot be choosers. In the Championship he is worth having in our set-up but (IMO) he won’t cut it in the EPL.

Can’t see us getting anything out of this to be honest, they seem to have found another gear this last month and are in the home stretch. Perform like we did last night and it’ll be a hammering, they don’t fuck about in front of goal.

He'd go well with our youth academy prospect Walter Nutter.

We have been very lucky. We filled up our oil tank a few days before the war started at 55p per litre. The price today is £1.20 per litre.

Lol! The songs for him write themselves if he signs for a UK team. If he ever does he'd be well-advised to follow in the footsteps of the players who go by their first names.
-
I for one am delighted I no longer have to watch a hologram in goal and a dwarf at centre forward. We look like a proper football team now, and that’s not a coincidence.

He is definitely running a moronacracy

So after deciding to go to war with Iran after taking advice from his son-in-law and others with zero experience in these matters he has now given another of his cronies with zero experience a job in the military. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/03/10/trump-appoints-erika-kirk-air-force-academy-board-charlie/89081470007/ Who was it on here that said that Trump was surrounding himself with smart people?

Going by my small dose of what I've seen on social media there are plenty of tramps there!
-
Apart from last night he has actually. Like everyone else he seemed to be way off last night. The whole team and the performance stunk.
-
With respect I have to disagree HK my old pal. We’ve looked a better side since he left.
