Not all the owners. Solak has done nothing but pump money into the club. It's Ankersen trying to be clever again with managerial appointments and completely cocking it up. After Jones, we had to go sensible. But instead we've taken a massive gamble.
There actually were a few positives. I just can’t be arsed trying to remember what they were right now.
Agree with pretty much all of this. The biggest concern for me (bar the defence in general) is that Martin hasn't yet learned that not having a proper DM is causing us so many problems.
I like Russel. I really do. But he's utterly ****ing deluded if he thought that was a good performance. Like, he needs urgent help deluded-ness.
I'll add Charles was very good. Edozie is getting better all the time. Daft that he came off. Alcaraz looked slightly better.
Uhhhh… not sure about that https://x.com/saintsextra/status/1702801394946777309?s=46&t=f0hgNyKSvvOD5qjGLJhsXQ
Shock horror, Winks runs the show. Such an incredible signing at this level. In fact, a midfield of him, Ndidi and KDH is miles above anything else in this league. I think I'd rather focus on how good he was, rather than how horrific our defending was. The honeymoon is very much over Martin. He now needs to sort it and fast (starting by never playing Charles at CB rather than CM, and actually asking his FBs to play at FB). My concern is that he won't be able to, but time will tell. I thought we were fairly decent in their half. But it came nowhere near to compensating.
There is a real rot & malaise around this club. Good players come here and turn into ****e ones. Baffling tactics, baffling decisions, no logic. Painful. Painful for 3+ years now.
Leicester didn't even need to get out of second gear in the 2nd half. Complete cruise control. Toe to toe my arse. Was more like the big kid holding the little one at arms length and laughing as the little one swings his arms wildly.
Yeah good shout on Edozie, was baffled he came off. Presumed he might have got a knock. I do like Charles but he's not a CB imo and puts us in too much trouble in that position.
Yeah, I don't see bad players per se in that team (though I fear RM has a love-in with Adarma, who tries hard, but is still not a good footballer). We still have players that don't seem terribly interested, and they need to pull their socks up, but tactically that was a real disasterclass today.
Charles is a very good footballer. As is THB, but putting them together as a CB partnership, when one is not a CB and they're both 12, whilst also playing our full backs in really, really odd positions....well...you end up with results like today.
