Roo1976

Those lap top meetings just before they go onto the pitch, are they just updating the player as to which way were playing?............2 nil down to Leeds gets laptop out and what ?...........the players are so wrapped up in the game or at least they should be they really dont care just point me in the right direction and ill suddenly go DEAF....

chucking Nathan Redmond in the Man City side won't make him suddenly world class. but he might get told to cross the ball rather than pass it back

The whole VAR this season is becoming a season too long .Were any of Brighton's penalties ,penalties?...........and we cant ones that hit an arm that prevents a goal bound effort and if i recall not even awarded a corner. VAR is still some other officials view and not necessarily that of the on field ref that has to view the game in real time. I agree with the whole goal line technology its over or not and it makes a noise that alerts the ref but, other contentious calls are view from all angles, how were the challenges on Djenepo not carded?.......remember his tackle on Newcastle player? at the time i was watching from the stadium and there seemed nothing in it , and the official that day Graham Scott actually went to the pitch side monitor to change his thoughts and send him off. At the time everyone was incensed and moments latter Boufal was penalized for hand ball penalty at the time ref played on only to be told hang on you missed a clear and obvious error. Var is still someone else's view and that's where it gets it wrong, if the ref didn't see it in real time don't ask for him to view it again in slow motion. Point of all this is Scott, Dean and Mason need to be put on furlough and the whole Var thing needs to be looked at and explained to the teams as to what is or isn't hand ball for starters and ,well don't get me started on the coming back from an offside position like Bamford did against us and Walcott flagged for offside against Villa at home when he received the ball in front of the Villas defence.

Nothing wrong with Puel, just got dealt a shitty hand with players he had at his disposal .Again like Ralph didn't or hasn't got the right players or backing financially to improve what we have at present or in the past .But Puel was a thinker and Ralph only seems to know one way and it sure aint the winning way ATM. Thought first half we were OK and it was a good shape.2nd got away somewhat and 2 nil inevitably lead to 3 but not picking players to play in the right position well really why not ,that's what THEY GET PAID TO DO.

Again trying to put square pegs in round holes ,trying to be smart NO. If your training to be a specific position in a team and you get over looked whats the reason?When Romeu came off it should have been Jako and not Bambi on ice (even more so on that pitch) djenepo. We are still so ponderous on the ball ,lack of movement off it and yet we are clearly getting smashed again . The tables getting closer to being a big problem whenever we loose. Relegation is now looming .We have a team that haven't scored a goal in the second half of any game in the league since we beat Sheff utd 3-0 , i think 12 games now, Ralph somethings wrong mate . Stop playing players out of positions ,if we loose and there's no positional players wrong then ..................i don't know .Seen the next few fixtures and they aren't great are they .Combined aggregate score for the next 3 could be in the realms of getting an accountant in, just to check we are still operating as a PL club and not some Sunday league outfit .Love the Saints but this is rough times atm and shows no sign of changing. Btw for what its worth didnt think Tella should have made way either, rather than Adams, but when your making a 1st team debut its easy for the manager to choose another easy option .Ralph sort it out, you also need an assistant to giude and cajole for ideas someone to bounce off.

Nketiah good call but don't think Arsenal would listen ,maybe loan ? Hudson Odi? after Saturdays public dressing down in front of the media... Tella needs more time and not just sub minutes of 15 or less ...I like Adams but not quite the finished article may be time to sell already? ...Will Ferry has promise i think ?

Bit like V A R ...........someone else's view......how fulhams goalie stayed on after all thats been previous ,bit like Pickfords non sending off.

millionaire too ..............

They dont seem to have leadership abilities to get annoyed at sloppy play and look irritated enough to give out verbal stick. Just a look sometimes goes along way, i know im married.

Very surprised that Djenepo didn't get blown over running onto the pitch and claiming whiplash.........

What month do you want waking up?

So in THAT time, have we changed the team by trying to find stronger players mentally?,or recruited better players in Redmond Djenepo? i don't think so either, we are shit and if we loose to Bournemouth where next? where are our 2 possibly 3 more wins coming from , nowhere soon i guess.

Draw a blue line under it ..start again.............again...!

VAR.....its still someone else's opinion,not necessarily the official whos call it was in the first place ..............that's what make these decisions even worse. The penalty that he gave at old trafford that was overturned by var shouldn't ,the sending off bednarek shouldn't yet var didn't seem to rule that out as-well , plus i think to this day that he was given the nod that Arsenal had a similar out come so please follow suit. Var is not making it any easier to watch the game now because you have to wait for someone in a studio miles away from the game to deduce that there is something wrong. Linesmen don't flag early enough now, so what if a player gets injured after the play is halted for offside like it was before all this stupidity?

mmmm , someone has a crystal ball.

Fucking way too slow moving the ball around yet again today, and for an awful long time now. Fuck for all our quick pressing our distribution is so ponderously slow, agree that Bertrand and Redmond couldnt deliver a bloody ball ,do you think Utd would have been as bad as we were ?....what do they practice because it cant be movement off the ball, because it wasnt happening. We are in the shit and anyone who thinks not is blinkered in red and white eyes. Wheres the next point let alone 3 coming from?..Still cracking free kick once again from JWP........

Dose this mean (i know) we can get the last 3 goals chalked off because we should have still had 10 on the pitch?.......lol. I think there is at some point someone saying to Dean Louis got sent off for a very similar decision earlier you'd better come to the same conclusion. Just hope that Ralph has alternatives in mind should we get a similar event going on the pitch,he needs to have learnt from this just defend and shut shop,our goal difference took us below Leeds who didn't even play until last night, so all the early part of our gain up the ladder has eroded and not performing away due to the team feeling sorry for themselves(fuck the supporters...........)and not being professional enough to take pride in the fact that it was playing out in front of themselves deja vu all over again. Once again soft underbelly and no leadership from on the pitch.

40 points is a very long way off considering we were top all be it for a brief time.....anyone remember that? the stat that's most annoying is points lost from winning starts,and not scoring goals in the second half of games .Che missed an absolute fucking sitter from good play and yet i think it might have been 6-1 then a little bit better,but fuck me bollocks...............Certainly VAR needs to be sorted out because it still down to someone else's vision and view on proceedings. Dean at the center of the game on those decisions yet again in the space of 2 games against us. If its too difficult to work out from all camera angles and takes too long then its not been clear and obvious, you just knew that when HE went to the monitor it was going to be given. So Bednarek cleans out Martial and its a yellow and penalty, for not attempting to play the ball and avoid the diving Martial its eventually a penalty and a red.Right boys go through them in the box, and pick up a yellow seems to be the new order from today's lesson. Wow just seen the next few fixtures and like its been alluded to 40 points is along way to go.Our squad is so down to the bones there's no room for lack of leadership in the next coming games.Wonder when the chairman knew we lost?...........oh fucking dear 2, 9-0 losses folks that will take some poor bastards team to be worse off than our sorry bunch. And ive got to do family zoom on Sunday and my brothers an ardent Portshite fan............should be great fun NOT.

Lampards free.................. FUCK.....var again........

At first i thought yes, why not see if he works out for a permanent move for at least a 1yr contract and maybe take it from there. But in say the last 4-5 matches his distribution and general wasteful game decisions for his experience id go no not for us,and besides hes another player whos in the treatment room (as and when it reopens)more so now.

Christ he would have to be bloody quick....🤪

Fifa fair play rules?............do they apply to them?

Now Diallo has picked up an unfortunate injury play him in the middle jwp out on right redmond left and armstrong and ings up front?

Do you think Gao watches us from afar?...............ummm need to strengthen the team................

Would absolutly be made up if we were to say loan until end of season with the option to buy,
