Nailed it

That is on RM always wanting to recycle possession until the perfect opportunity arises. The other problem under RM is that there was little point crossing the ball as the build up was so laborious that there would be 8 defenders in the box defending Cameron Archer. The question then becomes why recruit a player with skills that don't fit the style of play?

More like Forrest Gump

Avoid a red card?

I would have liked to see Onuachu and Archer on together

He has showed great potential in a poor side that doesn't play to his attributes. He has never looked shit in my opinion

You haven't thought this through. Who will we sing about?

I think we have decided to focus on the league campaign

Russell Martin’s Southampton philosophy was a self-defeating brand of stupidity https://apple.news/ADKj8AtuNSDyXACWHipGzoA

I agree Toussaint, I thought his natural role was as a strong, athletic, primarily defensive midfielder. I thought his confidence dipped when he was asked to play a different role I.e. ball retention which was not his natural strength. I think his defensive skills would have suited the PL better than the Championship,ironically. He certainly would have been a better opinion than Big Les who has done nothing after a few early cameos.

I agree, he was sacked at Birmingham when they were doing well as they wanted to bring in Rooney (did SR advise them)?

Why are we allegedly so interested in Corberan, I don’t understand the attraction.

To be fair, I think Russ brought some of the players back for extra hugging practice.

Yes, without any effort whatsoever I can believe that they are that shit.

Agreed, just imagine if we could have that option from the start of the season...

Jumpers for goalposts, isn't it

I missed that snippet about Ankersen, where was that reported?

I don't get the love for Corberan, West Brom mid table in the Championship

No need for that sort of language re Lallana, I still hold him in high regard from his first spell with Saints where he never let us down, always gave 100% as I think he has (when he is fit) in his second stint.

The correct decision but far too late. I think the majority of Saints fans wanted a replacement after the Bournemouth shitshow. RM was at fault for his inability to change his possession obsession (although, personally, I feel that he just wasn't up to the job). However, the real culprits here are Sports Republic who gave him far too much rope. They should be the main focus of our criticism as their decision not to sack him earlier 1) gives a new manager almost no chance of keeping us in the PL and 2) reduces the list of managers who would be interested in the job. So, this is a plea to SR to sort out the management structure that has led to poor managerial decisions and equally poor transfer dealings. The clock is reset, it is now time to get it right.

Even, if a new manager fails to keep us up, which is likely, at least we could go into next season in the Championship with positive momentum. A decent run will also give the players something to cling on to, rather than desperate to flee a sinking ship.
