I take no pleasure in saying this and absolutely despise Liverpool .. but I think the best result for us Is they absolutely annihilate us .. it’s for the greater good . We need them to destroy us so hard the idiot board finally realise what everyone can see .. if we Fluke a plucky draw or something they will probably Keep martin for another three months or something .. it’s simply not a good outcome .. so cmon Liverpool do us a favour and get him gone

The reason his tactics are so flawed is it’s better especially when you don’t have the best players in the league to break fast when the other team doesn’t have time to set up and organise the defence .. he does the opposite gives them all the time in the world to set up whilst we fanny around in our own half to make our possession stats look pretty .. then to top it off demands we play dangerously out from the back .. if the other team press well or we misplace a pass it results in a goal. the whole approach is mad for a team who buys the cheapest players in the league..even Brighton and Bournemouth now have huge record signings in comparison .. why the board seem absolutely blinded to all this is mad .. Martin achieved about par last season getting 4th with one of the best squads in the league now he doesn’t have that he loses every game and isn’t willing to change .. this is our whole situation. In a nutshell and the longer the board let this lunatic lose more games no decent manager is gonna want to take a certain relegation .. why can’t the board see this ?

Yeah brave Is his version of front footed and aggressiveness from Jones .. when you listen to his interviews it’s 95 percent bullshit waffle with no indication of what he’s gonna do to even try to rectify things .. in fact he just tries to paper it over whilst saying how he should stick to his principles .. at least Jones actually felt like he was trying to do different things under Martin it just seems a total lost cause

As mad as this might sound I’d actually jump at the chance to have hoddle back.. was one of the best England managers ever .. was amazing here too and also made us solid as Fuck defensively which is something you hardly ever think of Southampton being .. everyone seems to have some weird we must get in young managers attitude but hodgson was great in the prem.. hoddle might not be young and in the best health anymore but I’m 100 percent certain he at least has common sense, knows how to set up a team well and would probably be an idol to the likes of Fernandes and dibling coukd he really do any worse the the Towie version of Jan poortvilet ?

Mate even if we brought back hoddle adkins pardew or puel they would all be a huge upgrade you gotta be creative to think of anyone worse

Well the fans certainly are not buying his oil must be about 90 percent want him gone ..I’ve never seen such a lost cause he comes across soft as shit and like he would be proud of how brave they are if we lost 5-0 .. I’d rather have jones back not joking I miss the days of cortese’s ruthless streak .. now look at us 9 losses and everything is fine

Martin still being here makes zero sense at all. This clown has lost nine out of eleven games, we are slow in attack and shit in defense due to his tactics . Even the Everton win we got super lucky. I’m struggling to see any reason at all that the board think he will turn it around. Surely this isn’t about saving a poxy 12 million when the board like to buy about 25 players each window ? Just can’t get my head around it

I’m more annoyed at sports republic then I am Martin at this stage. Absolutely shocking. Every man and his dog can see it’s not gonna work under Martin yet they allow this madness to continue .. and with every game our chances of turning it around are getting worse . some people credit them with spending money but I think even this is skewed they haven’t really raised the amounts we spend on a single player we are still spending around the 20 million max on a single player which we where close too about ten years ago they simply have just bought in bigger quantity. So I give them no credit here either

That’s one game, over the years we have seen enough of bed and jack to know they are about same level .. slight preference for stephens as generally he’s better on the ball. russ will play captain Jack anyway as he likes him more then me

Ramsdale yuki Thb stephens. Kwp Downwa Aribo Fernandes dibling. Archer. Armstrong strongest line up we can put out atm gets arma in whilst only losing manning .. slight personal preference for aribo over lallana and jack over bednarek

I find it mad that everyone seems to want him to fail to be proved right ..this is the man who just got about 50 goal contributions last season and was absolutely key in getting your team into the premiership in the first place. he’s getting into scoring positions most games which is more then most of our players are doing to call him not premier league player is super harsh

Judging goals by appearances is a crap way of judging a striker.. go with starts if you have to. don’t you think he’s looking a lot more lively this season then he did under hasenhuttl ? From what i remember under Ralph he was quite anonymous .. but this season he’s getting into scoring positions in pretty much every match he’s played and also contributing in some chances created. He looks a lot more confident this time around ?

Well cometh the hour cometh the man. as I was saying in the week he’s been lively most appearances this season so no surprise he pops up with a goal.I think he takes a lot of grief with people thinking he’s not premiership quality but as long as he keeps getting in the positions he has been goals will come .Martin spoke in the post match conference about archer not getting much support so hoping he’s thinking of fitting arma back in

I’m guessing the reason he flopped at villareal was because in a technical passing side he doesn’t have the technical ability and kinda sucks ., probably why villareal where open to giving him up dirt cheap .. looks like he’s more the type for a direct shit house team like sheff utd .. we didn’t really do our homework on this one

Calm down Lucy

To be fair I think it’s harsh to criticise him for changing starting line ups. when you haven’t won a game not giving others oppurtunitys would look just as stupid .

Actually think he’s at his best in this wide right position, he is at least getting involved in creating chances and seems confident in shooting on sight and we know he can finish. I think there’s room ti fit him in whilst keeping dibling in and it probably upgrades our attack

Personally still think he looks really lively this season even though many think he’s not good enough for the prem .. couple of efforts vs city plus he delivered a superb cross for onuachu,, again vs arsenal he played a key part in a big chance , he looks more confident then last time in the premiership and surely even the doubters can see he’s looked pretty lively most appearances ?

You talk of being a super power or going for the big prize . Let’s just say if russ did even get us to koeman levels (which he won’t ) big clubs would just pinch him anyway .so your dreams are pretty flawed

Regarding squad being that bad archers scoring goals dibling and fernandes both look great and creative Arribo having a good season holds the ball well and has decent ability in creating time for himself on the ball kwp and yuki both decent Ramsdale top class keeper that’s the majority of our side and we have had the likes of bednarek and stephens in the prem before and done nowhere near as bad is this really that bad ?

Yup blaming it on the squad is bullshit ,, Bournemouth have a much worse squad then arsenal didn’t stop them getting a result . Yet we can’t even hold a lead vs anyone. Last couple of games we’ have had the lead which usually should make it much harder to score for the other team but it’s not in our make up under russ to be able to defend a lead

Not sure how you can say Aribo should be nowhere near the team ? He was fantastic on Saturday and easily one of our best players.. I was hugely impressed by him he just makes time for himself on the ball. He deserves to start and looks more premiership quality then downes tbh

Today has flagged Another characteristic under Russ that we simply cannot handle momentum shifts,as soon as Leicester got their first goal we all knew it was coming ..ironically russ coined the term “ scar tissue “ but it’s become even more of a trait under him. I think you have to be bordering on insane if you think he can turn it around now

Disappointed it is then .. thought this might happen even though archer got the goal onuachu made himself a lot more involved .. bad decision imo

I’ll be very very disappointed if onuachu isn’t starting today. He looks to have the lot .surely he’s even a better option for the passing game anyway as he simply holds the ball better .. surely a no brainer for him to play
