I also feel like this is more evidence that, despite him stating otherwise, Martin gets influenced by outside noise.
Yeah baffling that. Surprised it's not bitten us yet. Though saying that we can switch to a 4 if one gets injured while playing a back 3.
Oh joy, currently in Gran Canaria, do I stay sat in the sun or try the sports bar for 2 hours of frustration and despair and ruin my day?
I find it ludicrous that Taylor played for the U21's last night. He should be in the squad today, if not playing. Martin's decision making is bizarre at times, bordering on erratic.
Stop kidding yourself. You know you're to going to do the latter and then regret it massively and promise yourself you won't make the same mistake again. ... Until next time
Yeah a bit odd that. Even when I disagree with manager's decisions I can often understand the thought process behind them. But I don't get Taylor being left out at all. Unless there's more to it we're not aware of.
Lallana in to try and unlock something creatively? Through ball, ball over the top, that sort of thing? Don't think Aribo has done that much wrong to be dropped, but I think I can see the logic there, such as it is.
You in the top tier? We don't normally get that as wouldn't come close to selling it. On my only visit I was in an 80% empty middle tier.
Pep has been complaining about having a long injury list, which had me thinking that we might not get slaughtered. Then I saw the lineup and the subs bench and thought “ You’re taking the piss, mate”. I see they have McAtee on the bench. Not sure how many know about his very loose link to the Saints, but I believe his Great Uncle was no other than Alan Ball, with Alan Ball snr being his grandfather.
Yeah top tier. I nearly died on the way up, good job I've been training for my fitness test otherwise it'd be defib time!
I think we'll actually play quite well here. We'll still lose obviously but I think we'll at least make a semi-game of it for a while.
