Posting about Trump at 1am 🤣🤣

Did you forgot it’s amazing the people you can meet at a village lunch in Kent.

Oil

I think the better the players around him the more effective he’ll be.

Watch this space…

If he could add a physical determination to his game, and a desire to pass forward more frequently (which may well be down to willing runners ahead of him, as pimpin suggests) he could be excellent. He seems to lack a bit of fight, but conversely is a lovely carrier of the ball and can pick a pass. A nice player who should deliver more frequently at this level.

Agreed, strange indeed, had a lot of the right attributes but looked like he couldn't be arsed in most games. Maybe should have had more tonic with his lemonade?

I didn't know you had contacts in the White House.

We don't have a creative team. Take Scienza out and its RM robotics football. The tactics doesn't allow for any skill to get passed players

I think Saints are a very good 8th place team and that's were we will be end next season. There are some positives from the wasted first half of season and have played some brilliant football but; Too slow Take too long on the ball in all areas Not enough creative play Can't play good football in both halves generally Can't defend corners Still obsessed with risky passing back No prolific scorer. Any of the teams above us will take advantage of Saints weaknesses the worry is that teams below us also play much better than expected. Scienza and Ross out will be a big hit. Coventry win 4-0. It will be a miracle if we win almost the same v Arsenal. Can't we get a proven goal scorer on loan? Even someone from Deby, Watford, Stoke, Wolves, Spurs there must be someone who has 15 goals wanting a play off chance.

Good analysis. He is not thete yet but he is still not at his peak age so could develop into a Premier League player.

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

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.

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.

Draw

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.
