Bullshine and lazy posting thats complete rubbish and you know it. There is a minority that always want to stir thats not changed since SISA but most that have been complaining on here have stated reasons - I have not seen one post that wants us to be world beaters, the majority do realise how lucky we have been since Marcus/Kat took over just this year there have been some big howlers that the happy clappers ignore....shall we talk about Stuart Taylor thats a favourite of mine!

He had Hojberg or JWP he could have tried - he also could have gone 3-5-2 and pushed Long or Jayrod alongside Gabbi but just stuck same failing formation and not for the first time. Its not about the entertainment its about seeing a manager change things when not working, being able to work with the squad you have and play that formation to get the best from them. Did Tadic deserve to stay on for 90 mins on Saturday...or Redmond yet they did that's my issue with him. Boufal is wasted out wide, ,he did ok first half but all his work is done in front of Cedric not in an area that will hurt the opposition. At every club there are players not liking the manager remember Mane and arsehat?

What about expecting a manager to change tactics when its clearly not working - is it acceptable not to have 1 shot on target and just change personnel rather than formation? Romeu battled well but can't do it on his own...although he gave it a bloody good go! He has undoubtedly lacked support from the board but on the pitch he can make things happen but he doesn't just stubbornly ploughs away like Saturday.

Far too sensible a post don't you know Puel is exempt from ANY criticism because we got to a cup final! I am not a Clasie fan but how would you feel if you had played well scored the winner yet don't play 1 minute in next 3 games good man management? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

He has been given a rough deal by the board but you would be a fool to ignore his failings. So apparent on Saturday in his failing to address what isn't working during a game. This wasn't the first time Spurs, Bournemouth are 2 off top of my head. Some players don't get on with managers Mane and arsehat for example but did the players look as though playing for manager? If he stays then he needs funds and imo a better back room staff who can drive in changes and tactics. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

You lose the argument just calling names. Do you think Hojberg has improved as the season has progressed? If you were Clasie scored and played very well at WBA then not given one minute in next 3 games how would you feel? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Wrong Romeu was outstanding too without him there would have been nothing in our midfield at all defensively. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Yes their keeper won it Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

If you think the tactics were right you shouldn't be calling anyone Mongy! So when a team are playing 4-5-1 like Hull you keep just Romeu as your one tackler? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Yep so true so why do you post? Did you go today? Who picked the players? Who failed to address the poor formation? Why take off your one player who looks likely to score and not bring on a forward as well as? Of course it's the fans and players fault! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Bertrand straight down the tunnel at end didn't seem happy all game. Stephens and Romeu only credit today. Biggest pre-installed season ever . Why doesn't Puel change formations just players? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Do you think Lovren's ego would even consider that? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Well he hasn't lost a home game in 3 years so that would do me.....even with Hull!!

258 is a good score after their start - came back into this well. Topley getting 3 at death is what we needed for a while.

Long list of hapless officials at Portsmouth ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I think it was stated in the papers that it runs out next month Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Can we have scoring midfielder please. The contribution of ours is poor. Keeper to replace Taylor what a joke signing that was. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

There were 2 Coventry Supporters with SISU out banners, flags and scarves yesterday at Soton marathon.....quite a random place too outside the Tec College near the Old Bay Tree pub. Not sure why or what they hoped to achieve if they wanted to be on camera where they were stood was pointless.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Seri linked with him on UI Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Well we have Pied, McCarthy, Stephens and Valery all to cover that position - I did also read its Caceres best position but can't see us retaining him. Cedric is obviously first choice but may not be here going by transfer links.

Lovren is such a snake did you see him run to hug Klopp when Firmino scored creep. Berahino hasn't scored in about 22 games now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hull haven't lost a home game under him and its with 3 sides....Celtic are in a one horse race you can't compare that - we have an 87 year old still playing at Walking Football at Eastleigh he could get a game for Brendan.

I couldn't believe that he has not lost a home game in 40 matches....he must have something. I am not saying I want him to replace Puel either :-)
