Can he play in goal on Sunday?

He’ll go to Everton.

Just read a tweet to the effect that we’d accept 50million for JWP. Fire sale !

Totally agree. Hassenhuttl is blind to all of this, obstinately sticking to a game plan of all out attack that only works for elite teams. Is it just him trying to get a plum job? Or is he so unaware of key tactical changes that are required as a result of other teams adapting? Have to say after a few seasons I fear that he just isn't very capable as a football manager. Certainly not one that knows how to close out a game. When did we last do that properly?

Perhaps he could also be a defensive coach after he hangs up his boots. Could be good all round.

Agree. Cahill would be good steady eddie if we signed another serious player for when his legs go after 200 minutes...

Social media bigging up Simeu. We are skint , clearly. Gambling on him against Man U would be disastrous potentially, nog least for his confidence. Need to buy a CB. Surely we aren’t going to try and muddle through

Looks decent. Guess we’re searching for pennies down the back of the sofa

Good swerve. Crazy money.

Forster transmits way more confidence and his coming off the line has improved. McCarthy is a liability. Get Sergio Romero in. Ignoring him is mystifying.

Sam and Eddie dream team

There's too much embedded in the DNA now on that crumbling in the second half of games or the season to progress with Ralph. The players are now in muscle memory territory as soon as teams equalise. He needs to be changed. Or the new additions will just have to be of the sort that will keep us up - in the Championship. Just do it soon, Saints.

can he bring the manager too then please?

Swap deal for Nicky Banger?

Katalinic was a pretty good converter of shots to saves I'll get my coat

0-10 is 200-1 but 0-5 looks value at 60-1

Honestly think it could be a record defeat. 0-10 is 200-1. 0-6 is 175-1. If he selects McCarthy again the writing is on the wall.

Not a chance we would get him. They're way above us

Well good. But 8 weeks might be too late. I see us on 0 points after 4. If there is a target after 8 I wonder what it is. Thing is, it’s been over 20 games the same way, with the same no -tactics, the same excuses. The same favourites. The only difference now is Ralph’s trousers.

Not pick the terrible one?

Ralph is not even the answer if he takes us down, which looks likely. Best to get shot ASAP We need someone who knows about structure and defending first. And who can see bad goalkeepers. Ralph has Alex glasses welded to his unreactive, no plan B noggin. Fed up with his constant mistakes and history repeating. He’s picked the right team about twice.

There aren’t three worse teams. We’re down unless we get a different approach. It means biting the bullet and accepting that after months of playing this way nothing has changed except we’ve lost three decent players. Ralph not up to it. Mice guy and all that. But clueless about defending or changing it

You can tell the players have no confidence in him or the system. Get rid. Have some balls.

He’ll pick him again against Man U because Ralph is clueless about goalkeeping as well as defending. Just doesn’t seem interested, or in the fact that games aren’t all attacking at one particular pace and intensity. He really is the emperor’s new clothes. We’ll cotton on when it’s too late to save the season

Run by accountants not football people, quite clearly
