So who would you drop from our midfield to make for him then?

It wasn’t a mistake to sack Puel , the mistake was not replacing him with better coaches / managers. just like it wasn’t necessary a mistake to sell players for large amounts ( Saibts have always sold) it was wasting all of the money raised buying poor players. ( obviously it also asks the question why we seem to be the only club in the league that have to sell to buy) No body was mentioning Puel this time last year. I bet there’s not one Leicester fan wishing they never sacked Puel.

It probably does - just like every other clubs black box does. The difference is other clubs get their top targets and we cant afford to get ours.

Yet you felt the need to coment on it. Strange if you dont like the thread dont read it. I waould also add the summer 2018 , January 2019 and the summer of 2019 to list of poor transfer windows too. Incuding the poor choices of managers/ coaches too.

The club are excellent at feeding the press supposed signings we are interested in but for various reasons we never actually sign these and have to settle for someone else who even if we had heard of him would be a lot less exiting then the name the club leaked .

out of interest how many players do you think we will need to improve us ? How much do you think those players will cost and do you think the club can afford it ?

Agree with the defence (Who couldnt?) all the time we have to score at least 2 goals to get a result we will struggle. I disagree we have enough going forward - once again we missed chances to win the game (even allowing for our **** defence). If, and it is all if and buts etc , we had taken our chances against Arsenal and Newcastle (and there are many other games I could mention) we may have been sitting midtabe on 20 points. The fact is out attatck are not good enough to make up for our poor defence and both need fixing.

Doubt you could get a better striker for £ 20million.

Hes played over 60 premiere league games for Saints - I would class that as more then enough experience. Yes he tries hard , so would I , but he’s playing in a league well above what he should be .

I like Lonf, thought h did well when he came on yesterday and can cause defenders problems with his work rate etc. Obafami on the otherhand not sure what the club see in him .

All the time you have to score 3 to win then you are in trouble. A half decent team would have beaten Arsenal today. Huge week or so coming up and at the end of it we may give ourselves a chance (slim) if staying up.

If all the reports are true then Hasenhuttl falls out with a lot of players and coching staff. Austin, Hoedt, Lemina, Bertrand and Cedric have all been reported as having a falling out with him. Not the sort of thing you want to hear when we have a very poor squad and we need a manager to get the best out of them if we are to move up the table.

Depends on what you mean . In my opinion the current team would not finish in the top six but not would it finish in the bottom 3 of the championship

We moved past that , we are now at no championship clubs want any of our players .

Have to agree, why did it take the ticket office so long to put these tickets on sale. Some fans may have gone but are now unable to due to having to make travel arragements etc at short notice.

Have to agree that out support vocally has got worse - both home and away. Thought yrsterday it did start of ok, once most fans had got in (but thats another topic) then like the team just wilted out. We really need some new songs too, simple ones that our fans can sing along too..

Seeeing as the stand cant be split there is no reason why we cant have the whole 2800 the stand holds. But with our ticket office whats the betting we dont ask for any more.

Have to agree, and what was the point in brining Long on with 3 minutes to go?

Not quite truw though is it - you have made a statment the Pompey way and missed out the fact you need to have a purchase history. https://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/2019/september/southampton-h-ticket-update/ Just like a they are saying our tickets have been on sale for 4 days and we have not shiffted 2000 yet - omiting the fact that to buy a ticket today you needed to have been to a set number of away games.

You might be supprised, not many more tickets have been sold today since last night.

My thoughts exactly. I’d love to smash them 5 or 6 nil

I would be amazed if you didnt get a tickey with 8. Providing yoy buy when the tictets are availble to those with 8 away games,

How many fans have not yet got their season tickets? Its hardly 1000's and I would sugust its less then 100 so I woudnt call it a "debacle" or "embarrasing as some are. Don't get me wrong the club is far from perfect but when they have around 18,000 or more season ticket holders there are always going to be some, for what ever reson don't turn up. (l less than 1%?). The club always sort out any errors , it main be a pain to go to the ticket offiec on a matchday to sort it out but its hardly the end of the world. I wonder how many tickets dont turn up for concernts etc.

My season ticket still not arrived, i'm getting worried as i will need it in 9 days time.

I think it will ruin the joy of scoring a goal which afterall is what football is all about. When a team scores you will have to wait a minute or maybe more before you will know if it stands or not. I thought when the idea of VAR was 1st thought about it was to change clear and obvious mistakes by the match officials, something that should be clear in 30 seconds. Now it seams that VAR will review a goal, penalty etc even if there has been no clear mistake. You cant expect a referee to get something 100% correct if it takes VAR 1 or 2 minutes using varoius angles and slow motions to enventually get to a decision.
