Looking into my crystal ball: ”McGinn isn’t good enough. I make no apologies for demanding the best of players who have been in Covid isolation and unable to train. Thanks but not good enough for where we need to be.” ”Smith doesn’t make subs. We needed to bring our world class bench options Keinan Davis and Marvelous Nakamba on.” ”Time to start Sanson, who I’ve never seen play except on YouTube, where I also scouted world class finisher Ally Samatta.” ”This is all John Terry’s fault, as I have detailed knowledge of what each member of the coaching staff is responsible for.” Plenty more of this genius to look forward to if Southampton nick a late equaliser.

Popular Post MWARLEY2 Posted January 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think we are effing magnificent this season. I cannot count the number of games that we have been inferior to the oppostion this season. It is because its only the second half of the leeds game . First half of the southampton game and then finally 30 mins of the Burnley game. Other than that we have been proper at it from first to last. Every single game this season we have created at least 10 shots . EVERY SINGLE GAME . average of 15 shots per game . 1 every 6 minutes. I cannot remember a time when we were a constant threat to the opposition like we are this season. Every opposition team knows they have had a game when playing us . Well done Deano 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to play with motivation and ambition – I think we forgot all these things at home today. Ancelloti on Everton loss. Anyone else feel sometimes we fall victim to the same thing?

KenjiOgiwara Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Tbh we've been absolute quality this season. The only thing we've fallen victim to is defensive brain farts thinking we're Barcelona mk2 after taking the lead and bullshit refereeing/VAR decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s less about that and more about experience on controlling and be clinical in games. We are getting there and I definitely think we have motivation and ambition but I think a bit more growth and experience is needed and that comes with time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps that by carefully choosing the signings we've made, we manged to bring in people who are naturally motivated and up for the fight - we don't have any real egos in the squad to worry about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's one of the reasons why some people get frustrated when/if there are any hints of 'Billy big bollox' type attitudes from players.

Speaking for myself anyway. Yeah I agree, that’s why this summer could be really hard in terms of signing players to take us to the next level because we know players at that level of quality might have those tendencies so it’s a big big job and moment for our scouting and management team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don’t care how this match ends, Dean should have made subs already. Trezzie on for Bertie. Anwar on for Ross. John McGinn in particular has been dead on his feet for at least 10 minutes. The legs are shot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2021 People will shout again for subs (boring) but that would have been such the wrong decision. We weren't tired. We didn't need fresh legs. Having players like Trez and nakamba on would have made us worse with their limitations. And as much as I want to see sanson, that was not the game to make your prem debut. Halfway point and 30 points in the bag. Absolute legend Dean Smith. 2 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't know why he doesn't make subs... must have had a bad experience in a previous management position? I'd call that our only lucky win this season, but we were well overdue some luck so credit to Dean and the lads for putting us in a position to benefit from is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Smith's stubbornness in not using substitutes is extremely frustrating. Probably bad for squad management as well. A major weakness in his management. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
