Makes reasonable sense. Fraser can actually cross the ball for TP.

We’ll be 7-0 down by then as we’ve only got 2.5 defenders on the pitch

Well, at least it seems like he's trying something different.

Different line up same old shit tactics 

[Osvaldorama]

Classic Martin. 
 

Plays all our defensive players in the winnable games. 

Plays all our attackers against Liverpool

I don’t know what it is like down there, but here in Kent it is blowing a gale. There are times when you should be playing the ball on the ground. Not sure about the wisdom of brining in Tall Paul on a day like this?

Yep. It’s back to good, honest ‘Pennant crosses it for Zigic to knock down to Phillips’ football. None of this namby pamby passing boll*cks, we’re getting it in the mixer for the big man (who’s got good feet).

So many questions;

Why Fraser?

Why Tall Paul randomly?

Why no CB on the bench? 

Why not play a natural LB at LB? 

Where is Taylor? Cornet? EDWARDS? Wood? Summer window showing more and more as a shite window. 

If you have to move KWP back to RB, why not play Manning (on the bench) at LB? 

Why are you questioning genius?

[Jack]

Absolutely sick of this cunt reinventing the wheel and failing every time. Fraser was an ok super sub at Championship level and Russ thinks he’s the man to play out of position, against Mo fucking Salah. 
 

I’m not even bothering to go down there today, I’ll watch from the sofa and leave my ST unused. Bet there will be thousands more doing the same

I don’t know why you’re all moaning about Fraser being left back.

He could be playing TP there for all we know.

If there was ever one observation that underlines how inept our recruitment team were over the summer, this is it...

How can it ever be acceptable to end up in a situation where we only have 2 centre backs worthy of a place in a match day squad of 20 players? 

How these decision makers are still in a job beggars belief....

No. He'll be CB so Stephens can play LB !😉

[Chris cooper]

Wota a fucking line up that is .. glad I didn’t go now 😅windy as fuck so he wants to gamble on Fraser getting balls in to tall Paul 🥹the gap in behind will be easily exploited.. where’s Taylor or cornet ffs 🤦🏻 why does this chancer gamble on the wrong fucking games !!

sugawara on for Fraser at half time wen we are 3/4 - 0 down ..💯

Why is this the wrong game to gamble on? The chance is whatever team or tactics we put out we'll be beaten. Surely this is a free hit - exactly the type of game to gamble.

[coalman]

Glad he stuck to his guns with Fraser matched up against Salah at left back and Lallana playing box to box in midfield.

[Winnersaint]

Where’s Russ’s mate Giowhatshisface? He’s all over this place like a bad rash on matchdays. Not a peep so far.

[Chewy]

I can’t believe they’re allowed to show this before the watershed. It’s unsuitable for children and anyone of a nervous disposition.

Surely Bree, Manning, Suga, the tea lady … anyone would make more sense v Salah? 
 

When he played there v Leicester he had the worst 10 minutes of his professional career against a kid. Salah is the best right winger in the world.

I guess I have to hope but f*** me that’s as insane a line-up as the one v AFCB. We’ll do well to only be 3 down at the break.

As for the subs bench … 9 spaces, two right backs, one left back and no centre back. Ok then.

I really do hope I'm proved completely wrong but I suspect after this afternoon I’ll feel like I’m done with Saints until he’s gone. I can accept losing, I struggle to accept capitulation via insane and idiotic decisions.

Maybe the plan is for Onachu to lasso Salah with his cock?

Or you could just, you know, focus on the game and not a random stranger on the internet. Just a thought.

We are bottom of the league & 5 points from safety .. the winnable games he’s defended & not attacked .. he now wants to attack Liverpool .. no cb on the bench & jack Stephens is again shoe horned in there … we will do well to keep it to 6 nothing today ! Salah will be licking his lips 

[Saint_clark]

Some of us called it weeks ago. He'd finally give Onuachu a chance starting a game against either City or Liverpool and then when he doesn't do anything because we can't get the ball past their midfield, he'll send him back into the wilderness never to be seen again.

352, little and large up top, 4-0 saints win, easy as.

Those of you worried about Salah need to take a look at this and remember that if he should get past Fraser, he still has Stephens to beat, and if he manages to fluke his way past him then he still has to somehow put it in the net past McCarthy.

Thats if they can get the ball. We are the possession kings around here.

Stephens booked after ten minutes, at 0 - 0, for time wasting.

Honestly these days our entire team should get booked for time wasting just for having the audacity to show up.

I'm guessing Taylor has green fingers and is helping ABK with his garden.

Actual time wasting or just receiving the ball from Alex for the 40th time?

Personally I welcome this bold assay.  We're mere minutes away from tall Paul scoring from a Wee Ryan cross.  

 

...and a 1-4 loss!

And then call the ref and lino a cunt. 10 match ban aka David Prutton.

[Jack]

Russ on Sky justified going all out attack against Liverpool, because we were shit up front against Wolves. Bloke is an absolute fraud, I’ve said it before but I honestly think he wants to get the sack 

[Harry_SFC]

Seen someone saying it's THB RB, Downes and Stephens CB and KWP LB. Surely not..
