No real surprises are there, just a lack of consistency with the squad and formation. 

Im not the biggest fan of Stephens but let’s be fair, Bednarek is trash in this league but seems to escape the anger of our fans, and so far THB has looked nothing but a decent Championship player.

Expand  

Bednarek and Stephens both loaned out last time. Bednarek was benched by Villa. They both came back and waltzed into the team. Crazy.

That comical own goal vs Wolves by Bednarek should have been his last game for Saints, but here we are.

On the silver lining side, lose this and it will officially be the worst PL start in history after 10 games! Draw and we're in a 3-way tie for worst start. Woohoo!

- Sunderland 2016-17 and Man City 1995-96 if you were wondering, 2 points, both relegated.

I actually have it on pretty decent authority that Martin has these two games. In other words, Martin will be gone by the international break.

Oh please let this be true.

That'll be a record for us to cherish. Now for Derbys points record...

What, for what we were told was our biggest game of the season?

And just look at Man City now. 

It seems Russ's City obsession means he doesn't just want to copy Pep, he also wants to emulate the points total of Alan Ball, Steve Coppell and Frank Clarke.

Lallana on the pre match rondos….is too good. Levels above rest of team with his nimble feet. And then he claps the rest of the players around him at the end like he’s taking the session. Very much Head coach in the making….

Honestly, we've reached a point where I'd be happy with him instead of Martin. He couldn't do much worse and has worked with better coaches / in much higher level environments.

[OttawaSaint]

Feel like I'm in the dentist's waiting room. Hoping for the best but knowing this is going to be unpleasant.

The only difference is my dentist is a French Canadian hottie and RM is a bearded twat.

Don't you love the current one?

If Gio is wavering then RM must be even worse than we thought!

Radio saying that Dibling has been ill.

Lallana a head coach elsewhere after learning his trade under Martin during the 10 year plan. A sad parting of the ways, but no shortage of hungry coaches eager to learn under master Martin.

I heard he couldn't get out of the house, kept going from living room to dining room to kitchen but couldn't get to the front door.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We've got our 2 shouty players in today, but not much physicality. Might miss Aribo in there.

Martin keeps the front door locked...

I'm sure there will be a stream of liquid shit from RMs mouth.

If you are using the rope you shouldn't need to consider drowning as well.

Manning was even out of position for the pre match huddle 😂😂

Prepare for another shitshow of a game.

[Saint NL]

Walker Peters has been fouled and committed one himself. 

[OttawaSaint]

Oh come on ref. Don't start this shit!

Clear foul on Fernandes.

Lovely turn and he was clearly fouled

[obelisk]

Offside? I don't think so.

[OttawaSaint]

RM: thought I told those pricks no going into the final 3rd of the pitch. 

[OttawaSaint]

Fernandes and Lallana linking up well.

[Saint NL]

Very stop/start this so far feels like the ball has hardly been in play

[OttawaSaint]

Ref doesn't give fouls?

[OttawaSaint]

Fannying around in box watch: 1

[Edmonton Saint]

This is not brave. It’s just fucking stupid.

[obelisk]

Tippy tappy in our own area. Give the ball away again.

[Mr X]

Nearly shit in defense already 

[obelisk]

Everton easily slice through Saints half-hearted attempt at a press.

[Saint NL]

Everton took less than 10 mins to realise that if you press Downes we are in trouble

[OttawaSaint]

Shit performance so far. Dull as a butter knife.

[Saint NL]

Lallanas attempt to track back on that Everton break was laughable 

[OttawaSaint]

Ffs! Hit it Fernandes!

[obelisk]

That good attack fizzled out completely.

[Mallagroth]

The audacity of Everton, to play up the wing and go straight for a cross into a striker. Supposed to pass the ball around the box for 5 mins first

He does now

[Mr X]

Did all the hard work and didn't release the ball or strike soon enough 😂

[Saint NL]

Liverpool and Man City both losing 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Wide open in midfield. Giving away freekicks in dangerous areas because we’re so good at defending set pieces. Fernandes decides not to shoot in our best chance so far.

[OttawaSaint]

Would love us to play direct and at pace like Everton are doing right now.
