Jeeez... More shoe horns than a branch of Freeman Hardy Willis...

Are we playing a back 4 now or has Smallbone slotted into the back 3?

Player who hasn't scored since December 2023.... Tick...

If Fernandes isn't playing for a top 8 PL side next season then my name's Barbara Lighthouse

No idea. Given I'm only posting on an internet football forum,rather than attempting to qualify for Mensa, I hadn't given it much thought, ergo there's every chance I could be talking gibberish.

House!

Ok. Time's up. The guy is a certified nutter. Early request for a normal manager next please.

That's enough for me. Confirmation that Juric isn't the answer. Next...!

House!

Scousers? Probably started in the Confessional...

Hugely entertaining though. It's almost got a whiff of a certain Scottish city about it...

Call me an insightful genius, but I would venture all his previous injury spells followed a game that he had played in...

Resist temptation trousers, resist!

Indeed. Especially as he said when he joined that he'd been keeping a close eye on Saints since the club first approached him after Hassenhuttl left. (IIRC)

House!

My gut feel is that we need to start again from scratch, and that's from the ownership down. Of course there might be arguments that can be made for sticking with them for a while longer, but my hunch is to sell and start again as the best way out of this malaise.

It's still a tad unfair to judge him after 2 months, and with the number of mediocre players at his disposal but, much like Martin before him, he doesn't do himself any favours with his 'random' selections and rigid adherence to a system that's not working. However, the signs aren't good and, sad to say, I think we're probably looking at yet another poor manager decision from the ownership group. I think the club needs to be sold and start again from the top down.

I'm not inclined to defend ABK for the sake of defending him, but how does a player who "isn't any good" end up anywhere close to selection for Germany, let alone winning two caps?

Good analogy, but to be slightly fair to Juric, he has inherited a squad largely of square pegs and round holes...

Indeed. Both very poor.

Sadly, the points weren't....
