Jack Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Three fucking full backs on the pitch and 2 more on the bench after a bench with 5 strikers and no defenders last week? Absolute clown. I think he’s trying to get sacked. Or throwing in one of last season’s scapegoats to deflect attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWLondon Saint Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I can only assume he wants Manning and KWP to double up on Saka or he is actually trying to lose by double figures and get the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 As a manager you’re asking for it if every lineup makes no sense, and you’re still getting dicked every week. Starting Ryan manning for his first game at Arsenal away when you’ve got a prem experienced left back on the bench. Fucking joker. Can only get away with it if it actually works and it won’t 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Most unlikely to get sacked after a loss to Arsenal, because the defeat is expected. Everton or Wolves look more like guillotine games. Anyway, the Arsenal chap at work says we re their bogey team so we might pull off a surprise today. Looking at the line-ups, er naaaah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWLondon Saint Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 The Arsenal line up clearly says they don't believe we have any threat in behind so they're going to be a 3-3-4 and press hard onto our back 4. Unless we're going to play mid length passes into Stewart be prepared to see us lose the ball a LOT in the danger zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdmickey3 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) Utterly mental selecting Manning, he’s definitely trying to wind up the fans. How anybody, anywhere with even the slightest understanding of the game would look and say playing Manning against Saka, Martinelli etc is credible, only someone who has the tactical know how of plankton would do something so utterly cretinous.

BARCELONASAINT Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Who on here actually enjoys their Saturdays anymore, serious question! I hate being back in the Premier League. We all suspected we would be the weakest team and so it has come to pass. A lot of my mates stopped going to Saints games a couple of seasons ago and started going to watch Eastleigh, apparently it's a lot less stressful. I was asked last night will i watch todays game and i had no hesitation in saying why would i want to completely ruin my day. Instead i will probably watch the City v Fulham game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 So is manning going to play as a third CB, with KWP at LB or is he experimenting with KWP playing further forward as sort of right winger? Either way, it's pretty clear he's just trying anything in tge hope of arriving at a successful set up, with no clear plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom57 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Hello, long time lurker, first time poster here. That's a weird line up for sure. Maybe a 451 with Manning as a LM.
