Match Day Thread Brentford v Saints 31st Aug ko 15.00

The first bit is key. We don’t have the quality at this level to play this way.

 

He's not wrong.

 

Sounds happier than a dog with two dicks

 

Not exactly a surprise when you pick the same team

 

What were people expecting from this season?

This style was always going to be horrific in the PL. Sack Martin in the summer, by all means (Leicester got incredibly lucky to get Maresca taken from them, so they could ditch this style). But having given him the summer transfer window, you can't then sack him straight away. That's ludicrous. We've made our bed.

 

We just need something, anything!

 

Yep almost as if Martin can only manage a team with a top squad for the league he’s in

 

Anyone know Brentford's history with Ramsdale? Been giving him stick all match.

 

It's OK. Ralph promised us a response after the last one (still waiting)

 

Only conceded 1 with Martins preferred team and formation. Vindication for him to continue with that going forward.

 

Yeah this was so blatantly obvious from about 5 games into last season. “Martin will adapt and be flexible, look at the playoffs” etc chat, he may adapt slightly but his whole style is based off the build up from the back so he’s never ditching that

 

Going well then?

 

We're going to win 4-3.

 

I'd just like to point out how wide open we've been since changing to a back four for all of those people calling for it.

Looked like much of last season defensively.

 

And we gave this **** a new contract before a ball was even kicked in this league. Classic SR

 

Arsenal. End of.

 

Is there really a rivalry there though? Would have thought it'd be more Fulham/QPR.

 

Looking good for another VAR free season in 25/26.

 

They want rivalry with an “Arsenal” not Fulham.
