Hi. My first post on here. I'm not that great at analysing formations, I just try and enjoy the football, which is pretty challenging at the moment - but I'm at a complete loss to understand RMs decisions. Is he a complete charlatan or have I missed something? 

I hope to fuck you’re Dragan Solak 😂

I think he got his sentence wrong. What he thought he said, "I'm managing in the Premier League" not "I'm a Premier League Manager" There's a world of difference.

Actually neither of those statements is true, he is not managing at all.

RM - Our challenge is “to be a much as ourselves as we can be” Lol

Was just about to post this. No mate, we need to be as far away from being ourselves as we possibly can

Don’t think the team looks as bad - given the squad - as the reaction on here suggests. No Cornet no BBD no RF no AA no Les all ineffective latterly. WTF do you lot expect? He can’t pick Haaland and De Bryune you know. Our squad is bottom three material. Our forward line in particular is championship. 

Stewart is going to do a hell of a lot of running today - by himself by the looks of it. Lallana is clearly unfit. Will unavailable. So Manning is playing. Surprised but wtf guys? Ever thought maybe Taylor was dropped for a reason? Should we play Edward’s or Wood in a back three? God you’d have paroxyms. 


I know it’s pointless giving a reasoned post at this stage because if it’s not going with the mob view here you will get abused despite being a saints fan just like you - but if RM picked the same team as away to Bournemouth he’d get slated- but he’s changed it in a few ways- and still gets slated.
 

That means he has got no chance with some of you. Fine. 


Just hope you are not the loyal travelling support.
 

FWIW I think it’s an especially cheap shot to deride his team ( OUR PLAYERS) selection ahead of playing Arse away. Sure you’ll all look clever dissing our players now when we get thrashed - but what eleven could we put out in what formation by what manager would not get beat by them? Support them that’s put out there is what we should do and yeah feel free to criticise the selection - but these convulsions of anger over our own 11 starting players is what I’d expect from Pompey fans - not saints.

I am really past caring what this twat does. I've seen last minute "Hail Mary" substitutions but Ryan Manning. Behave!

I suspect Russ is working his ticket.

Let’s change the subject, how many goals are Arsenal scoring? 😂

It can be absolutely anything they want it to be. I include 9 in that.

He may be managing in the Premier League but he's not a Premier League manager. 

That maybe the case, but there’s plenty of clubs that will welcome his management style.

The last couple of games have shown not only how badly we’re managed but how awful our recruitment has been. When Poch was here, we had a solid squad of about 15 decent players we could rely on to DAJFU. No it’s a case of which out of the 30-odd Championship players wins the tombola this week. Edwards, Wood, Cornet, Taylor, Fraser, Archer, Lallana, BBD and Les - ALL signed this summer and none of them starting. What was the f**king point.

Manning 🤣🤣🤣🤣
 

From being left completely out of the squad he’s now back and straight in !!!!

That's ridiculous.  Not because he's a bad player but because it's yet another change.

He just wants to give everybody a game before he gets sacked.

Bloke hasn’t got a fucking clue. When he signed that new contract I said I wanted him to stay on when we go down to get us up again, but even I didn’t think it would be this bad. Manning has no place being in a Championship side, let alone starting in the Premier League at FUCKING ARSENAL!

Clueless starting XI, and an easy home win for the Arsenal. 6-1 just to match the Skunts the other day.

Taylor was one of a few that came out of the Bournemouth game with some dignity left. So he is dropped for a player who struggled in the Championship.

He's trolling us isn't he

I’m starting to realise that the opposition can’t hurt us as much as he can. 

Do you see Russell Martin in the room right now?

Russ, shouldn’t you be doing last minute team talk and tactics, not spouting off to the Saints forum….?

IF we win today, which we won’t, but if we do, I’ll post a picture of me kissing an effigy of Russ on this forum as an apology for how I underestimated his managerial nous.

All signs point to us getting thrashed and the decision to play Manning in a Premier league match will be widely mocked. 

I wonder if he’s giving himself the excuse that he got the lineup wrong, rather than having the blame pointed at his tactics and philosophy being absolute garbage and not fit for purpose. 
 

As was the case on Monday, where he said the blame was on him but then threw the players under the bus

If we win today I’ll help him shag his missus for him. 
 

In fact I’d do that if we draw or lose too.

Running across the pitch to applaud the away fans because he knows he definitely won’t be able to do it again today. 

Maybe he knows he's getting sacked. Would explain picking Manning, making sure he gets a Prem start in his career.

Formation has really annoyed me.

I'm going to take it out on the neighbours and put Christmas decorations up.

If nothing else you've won comment of the day, well done!

It's alright everyone, Manning is at right back. With KWP at left back.

What. The. Fuck.

No he’s not.
