Everyone’s going on about possession football being shit, but Russell Martin’s brand of it is in an entirely different category. It’s surface-level possession, built on endlessly pissing about at the back and gifting goals to the opposition at will. It’s called suicide ball, and I genuinely believe he could take over Man City and have them finishing below mid-table. That’s how ****ing bad he is.

Been worse than I expected. Please for the love of God sack him asap.

65% possession, 0 shots on target while conceding 5 - that’s as Russell Martin as it gets. It is shocking how he is still able to talk his way into a job.

This bloke could manage prime Barcelona and still, at best, end up mid table.

Nice meaningless word-salad

It’s played out even worse than I imagined. Russell Martin is pure poison

How does Thomas have a rating of 3,9? Is it family members on here voting him up?

sell

Fans turning on each other is normally an early warning that relegation is on the cards.

Very unconvincing win

What’s ridiculous is that we’ve scored 4 and are lucky not to be behind Abysmal defending

Martin sides don’t know how to defend.

Souttar’s a poor mans Vestergaard. Which is worrying, because Vestergaard is quite shit.

Thomas is so poor

Yes if the man is a 6 yo boy

Not if RM insists on tippy tappy ball at the back.

I remember Southampton being among the PL’s top 3 for possession in 2024/25 while having just 2 points after 20 games.

Another Leicester legend

Russell would probably inflict less damage if he played instead of managing.

That’s the only strategy he seems to have perfected. He must interview exceptionally well.

That thermometer is a pretty accurate representation of my own sentiment throughout this disastrous journey, which began with Brendan Rodgers persisting with Danny Ward for 26 consecutive games and getting us relegated in the process. Back then, I thought we had reached the bottom. Russell Martin has since arrived with a shovel.

It is sickening how this bloke keeps landing jobs. I don't get it.

We had a Martin-out thread before the idiot had managed his first game for us.

Football’s greatest unsolved mystery is how Russell keeps persuading anyone to appoint him. The fraud has turned sounding like he understands football into a career far more successful than actually managing a football team.

Your avatar sums up very well what this club has become. 100% clown show.
