Give it to Ron

Isn't the answer all about who we recruit and how big a transfer budget we have? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Taylor same role...whats that sat on his arse bench warming and praying he never plays...look at his record in the last 5 years . I cannot believe we cannot find a better keeper. Hassen scares the ebbejeebies out of me....not sure he has any hands on the end of his wrists as they all go through, round and under him. I think if McCarthy had been fit we would have had more points and Forster could have been rested a few weeks.

What about that useless signing Stuart Taylor the one we didn't risk against Arsenal and put poor Lewis to the slaughter?

Well he ignored the proximity for certain players later in the season. Why didn't he prioritise the only winnable game WBA....haven't we been here before? Wasn't it something like 131 different changes in the first half of season? I don't think anyone can support the over rotation we saw. Those poor footballers having to play 2 games in 5 days the little loves must struggle.

Battled well no support or creativity looks decent. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Moyes has resigned so there we are then...done deal he is coming :-)

So why wasn't Jayrod available?....he tweeted he was ok and wanted to be in squad. Its ok getting crosses in but to who? Tadic? Davis? Boufal? Although Yosh did play up front for the last five. Clasie or Hojberg holding and push Romeu forward? Our corners have been a waste of time since VVD got injured.

I am disappointed that Dwight Yorke hasn't either ...its not fair.

I agree about JWP but he did more than Tadic who had a good 5 minute spell out of the 94.

The top is from our favourite journalist. Amazingly some #saintsfc fanss are trying to defend Puel's decision to bring on Pied for Ward Prowse at 1-0 down. Lost for words. Tony Husband‏Verified account @TonyHusbandBBC 3m3 minutes ago As baffling a decision as I've seen for a while. The end is nigh.

The kid goalie during the walkaround....wow what some saves they made.

Stephens again looked very good, Austin looked interested and up for the challenge just not enough support. Romeu....what a tackle that was.....tackle of the season that left Pieters looking battered was absolute quality.

LOL yep just wonder what our allocation will be....

"All we are saying is give us a goal.....

Great post its quite funny watching the little darlings squinny and squirm on here at anyone who dares criticise anything or anyone at SMS.

You could say "Turd in the final third"?

I didn't boo anyone and TBH I didn't expect anything different once I saw the formation. Stoke are slow and just Austin with no-one close was always going to restrict our chances. Gabi in Italy often played as second striker after 450 mins without a home goal surely that could have been tried? I am not a Clasie fan but treated poorly as has Jayrod . Caceres played at Boro not played 1 min in 12 games before and none since. Man management appears poor. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

If I had seen anything tactically to see him address our barren run then I would agree. Interesting listening to his Blackmore interview asking the board for more strikers....didnt sound like he was out soon. Meeting tomorrow with the board. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Players got good support...Puel and Black polite applause. Looking at body language Bertrand and Cedric going. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Yep confirms your post a clueless fckwit. We haven't scored in 6 games yet stick the same formation how dare fans expect more. Rodriguez scored at Boro yet not on bench Did you stay to the end of lap of honour ? I did.. you must have rushed home to get your homework done child. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

We certainly do... I mean look at all the goals we are scoring and readjust our tactics to give us the best chance of a goal . The genius subs we have seen in the last 5 home games bloody ungrateful fans ....how dare they demand us have 2 strikers at 0-0. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Not the point mate this is looking at from players point of view. The manager picks you and you do all is asked and more then dropped would you be happy? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

If you were Clasie had a good game and scored winner then didn't play 1 minute for 4 games would you be happy? Jayrod scored one made one at Boro dropped next game is that good man management? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

So to answer you post which is a good argument - Austin played one game we had an international break (the first or second in season)he was then rested after playing 1 game cant remember game but my point is with strikers they need to play and get match time - although with Austin playing him wide left and watching him try and chase down the full back was pitiful too. My point and not explained very well was over Christmas we had one winneable game WBA at home he should have prioritised that and put out the best side when has any successful side changed 3 of its back 4? Puel himself moaned about lack of training time and just being able to use the gap for tactics and getting ready - agreed but my point is has he now improved the side that well now that he has had time since we went out of Europa and the F A Cup game? With our facilities he has had plenty of time and surely professional footballers should be able to manage twice a week? Have we really only had 2 first choice CB all season? Fonte has declared he wanted to play? Puel himself even stated he could try Bertrand there so we had options but were not tried - we were shipping goals but didnt attempt to plug that but went for the ultra defensive shape we have seen at home. We are 8th so on paper its worked and he has achieved what we wanted him to with the shocking support he has had from above and again from his staff and my points are probably irrelevant but just I think we could have done better. I also think injuries to Pied and McCarthy were a bigger blow than we realise certainly in the FA game where poor Harry Lewis was hardly a game for his development behind that side. PS We had enough time to switch from the diamond why not 3-5-2?

This doesn't sound like he is expecting to go does it? Puel said: "We will see if Soares can play this game and also for Ryan Bertrand. They have some pain, some tiredness, but we will see this tomorrow and the day of the game to see if they are available. "Shane Long also is unlucky with his broken metatarsal, but we will see him next season."
