Fulham 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

Really? That would mean left back is another position that needs solving, with Perraud, Small, Larios, Djenepo all failing to pin down the role.

LB has been a vit of a scouting disaster really, we have never replaced Targett let alone Bertrand and have seemingly filled up left back with loads of young kids not ready to play, and then Perraud - and when he's injured we have little else other than to go square pegs.

It’s possible that the loss of the former Pope has sent Nat over the edge resulting in today’s Hail Mary midfield! Pray lads! 🙏 

[revolution saint]

That midfield looks weak as fuck.  Think this is probably the first time I've ever commented on a team selection before the game kicks off but it looks appalling.

Still haven't said what u would do. I presume you'd put Edozie and Ballard up top as they are better than what we have. Slag selections off all you like. 

Some people just like to moan.

541/343 with kwp LB and AMN RB. Mo and jwp in midfield, edozie che and aribo up top. Could be alright, could be fucking awful.

Remember this is a fanbase who once hounded out the manager when finishing 8th and getting to a cup final because "the football was boring" and are now insisting on Sean fvcking Dyche.

12 minutes, we've had the ball thrown into the net two games in a row so lets go for a pass straight to the striker this time.

[Hawkswood]

This thread is hilarious. Does someone win  a prize for guessing the correct formation?

I don't think anyone actively wants Dyche, they have just said he would have been a better option than this bloke.

Sean Dyche is the one that has been suggested most on all the Echo/Hampshire Live Facebook posts.

The time that he makes the howler or the point at which you remind us for the umpteenth time that you told us he would hopeless?

[Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan]

Going to say I don’t actually hate it, if it’s 3 at the back. Get our wing backs high and stop there full backs getting forward; and have an extra centre back should stop crosses to the back post for Mitrovic to bully a full back and score

like the idea of Aribo and Ely playing between their midfield and defence and Edozie and Adams are sadly the best we have

Only difference I would make is Armstrong for Ely and DCC for Lyanco 

Edited 31 December, 2022 by Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan
Wrong player

[benjii]

A midfield three of JWP, Aribo and Elyounoussi can't seriously be what we're planning. Absolutely mental if so.

Madness to drop perraud after he played so well for Brighton

Why would it? He isn't a Catholic?

As I've said before imagine if he was Muslim and these kinds of comments were being made. It'd be an instant ban.

Yes because he's a better option than what we got and he could possibly keep us up. A bit like when we appointed Hughes who kept us up but I don't think anyone actually wanted him as first choice.

Would he though? He plays a brand of football suited to 6ft5 brutes not a bunch of actual children like we have. Dyche will do wonders for the right club but that's not us IMO.

[hypochondriac]

If Lavia is fit enough for the bench then he should be starting.

Agree to disagree then. He has experience in this league and has done well. I'd have preferred him to this bloke at any rate. 

[Saint NL]

I like the training jacket, looks like an old school bomber jacket

[SaintZamboni]

I don’t mind that formation, depending on who is playing where.
I wonder if it’ll look more like

                   Bazunu

        ABK      Lyanco     Salisu

 Elyo       AMN        JWP        KWP

        Aribo       Adams     Edozie

For us faithful the loss of a spiritual leader is a matter for solidarity regardless of ecumenical stance. You should perhaps reflect and become more forgiving. Walk towards the light.

So you’d pick Mo over Stuart Armstrong would you? 
Thanks for your input Nathan but we will have to disagree on this and other aspects of your selections, tactics and coaching. This is life…

Lets hope you show us fans that you know best and that your mystifying football shows some positive outcomes.

3-4-3 then by the look of it, with the wing backs playing a flexible role

Looking a bit hungrier/more energetic but still way too sloppy with the passing.

Elyounoussi giving it away cheaply again....

 

But the players do look more up for this than the Brighton game (not saying much tbf)

Damp Saints fans in good voice, clearly emulating Leeds.
