Fair point...

Nothing wrong with disagreeing. All part of life's rich tapestry

To be fair, he said this back in January 2019 and he wasn't exactly talking about slashing the squad in half, more about pruning out the deadwood (yes, I'm fully aware that "pruning the deadwood" is one of those phrases that triggers a predictable reaction from some on here.... ) Maybe if he'd foreseen a global pandemic looming over the horizon a year later, and the ensuing condensed fixture list, he'd have had a different view on the matter and thus wouldn't have been saddled with the Saintsweb Forum's "Well, Ralph said he wanted a small squad" mantra.... https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17383445.southampton-manager-ralph-hasenhuttl-wants-much-smaller-squad/

Ralph says it "looks good" for KWP, Diallo and Takumi for this weekend

Pretty much our strongest line-up,even when all players fit*, so, yep, this 100% (*Yes, one could argue cases for McCarthy, Romeu and Walcott, but it's marginal IMO)

Had first AZ jab about 5 weeks ago. Had a bit of a headache and lethargy first day or so, then had something akin to a heavy 48 hour cold on day 2 & 3. Apart from that, all good.

Don't think anyone is saying he should?

Pretty much sums up my thoughts 👍

It's quite amusing to see them crawl out from under their rocks though?

I'm running out of 'benefit of the doubt' fairy dust

Yep, we've been poor but if we'd nicked a point it wouldn't have been an unfair result given how poor Everton have been too

Needs to shave off his 'lucky omen' beard

Everton are masters at drawing the foul, I'll give them that

Yep, no foul IMO

I've given Ralph and the players the benefit of the doubt the last couple of months but starting to question my faith somewhat now

If Calvert-Lewin goes down like that in the box, VAR would overrule the penalty. Joke decision

Play Djenepo at RB, Jankewitz on for Bednarek and push Armstrong back up to AM.

Hopefully the opposite of our usual half times... The ones where we play well 🙂 n the first 45 mins and shite in the second

Why can't professional footballers get something as simple as passing the ball to a team mate right? You wouldn't get on a plane if the pilot was equally unprofessional

Only 9 more to go to beat that...

Funny you should say that...

Catlin: "Wah wah wah.... We can't get anyone else to pay for upgrading our decrepit ground... It's so unfair... Wah wah wah" The current football club playing at Fratton Park is barely 10 years old, but it's still the same old Pompey... Looking to spaff other people's money up the wall
