If you told me in the Summer that we would keep Alcaraz this window I would have been skeptical. If you told me he was sat on the bench while we lose our fourth Championship game on the bounce I’d have told you to **** off. Utterly incredible decision making. Should be building the side around him yet here we are.
Not seen a manager have such a swing in support before. 4 weeks ago he was pretty popular. And why do they all sign ****e full backs. We let Perraud go on loan when he was seemingly happy to stay to sign Manning who has looked awful in every game for us. Can't understand how he made team of the season...
This is going to sound arrogant but imagine the reaction of fans of a Sky 6 side whilst losing 4 on the bounce in the PL including to Luton away, while keeping their De Bruyne, Odegaard etc on the bench. Thats where we are but in the Championship.
I rarely post here but I went to the Leicester game, then to the Ipswich game, both were diabolical. Watched 10 minutes of the stream today where Saints played totally pedestrian and boring football, gave it away needlessly and concede. RM will come on at the end and spout something about scar tissue in the team or needing to be brave, both of which are rubbish. We're playing this badly because his style of football is predictable and he makes bizarre selection choices and substitutions. The only time we look dangerous is with our more attack minded players on the pitch and that is in spite of his tactics and not because of them. I Some cliche about needing to be brave or excuse about scar tissue in the team, both of which are insulting and rubbish
