Match Day Thread Southampton v Brentford, the waste of spaces thread 4/1/2025 3pm

My point is we may as well give Sulemana a chance from the start. Can't do any worse.

 

Good afternoon all .

Get ready for Saints first win of the season .

Little Sister don’t fail me now

 

Probably the best we can do right now.

Sully owes us a performance.

 

I agree to a point, but I'd feel more confident of Arma scoring and getting involved than I would Sulemana

 

I know 'work rate' seems to be a dirty word, but in reality it's very important. Who of that front three is going to press? None of them, especiallynot Sulemana. And with Aribo in midfield, Brentford will glide down the pitch unchallenged more or less. At least Adarma will put tackles in and press.

And he's a captain. That front five has no leaders and no communicators. Expect a lot of misplaced passes and wrongly-timed runs.

 

Arms was decent in first half against West Ham I thought.

 

3-4-2-1. Time for Sulenana to repay Juric's faith.

 

I'm not sure that last sentence is true tbh.

 

Bree is the other disappointment in the starting eleven for me.

Hopefully they both prove me wrong anyway. UTFS

 

****ing hell. Sully starting!

I reckon SR have punted everything they have left in the kitty on us beating Derbys record. Rasmus last seen wearing comedy nose and glasses in William Hill. It's the only explanation for starting him.

We're getting **** all from this today.

 

That’s not a terrible like-up.



Well, for this division it is really. But it’ll have to ****ing do

UTS

 

My earlier confidence has seeped away looking at that line up
Long afternoon incoming

 

Yeah, I was encouraged by his first few games but he can and has done worse.

 

Did he even manage a goal in the championship?

Just a **** Sam Edozie in all honesty.

 

Nope

£22m and couldn't even hack it in the championship.

 

That says he’s realised that Armstrong isn’t up to it, but hasn’t realised Kamaldeen isn’t yet.

 

Stolen shamelessly from Twitter

 

Tragically that's probably our best 11.

 

Im not saying Sulemana is a world beater, but he is better than he played under Martin.

Last season and this we weren’t using any kind of shape or tactic that would have got anything out of this player.

I’m not even saying he will come good for us, but no way is he as bad as he has looked for 2 years.

 

BTW how much is Ross Stewart getting paid for his involvement? What a complete ****ing disaster.
