Brilliant by Djenepo - him and Ings the only genuine PL players we have, possibly Boufal too

Shane Long - the answer to a question that should never be asked!

Bravo Ralph - you tactical genius. Take off a RB and replace with a RB. Yet another like for like and no change of tactics. Cedric should never play for Saints again.

Fixed it for you

Boufal on for starters.....

Bravo Ralph - no changes at HT. Lets wait until 75 minutes shall we?

I would say JWP is our only player that is working really hard and trying to make a difference. PEH is total s***e and how could top clubs in Europe be looking at him. He's terrible Cedirc and Bertrand awful. Stephens and Bednarek nervous as hell, Djnepo not a factor, Redmond back to the headless chicken (reminding me so much of Fabrice Fernandes who was also great at creating crop circles). Ings and Obafemi zero service. PLease being on Boufal at HT.

That was completely on Bertrand (again). Out of position, played ball directly into path of Watford.

Bertrand - you bloody utter waste of space. What idiot thought it a good idea to keep that t**t and get rid of Targett? Can only imagine what the reaction will be at HT.

And where was Bertrand? No mans land and certainly not defending. Saints are utter dog s***e and are deservedly going down. We are an embarrassment and are a mess from the top of the club down.

Bertrand having another absolute mare. Our CBs get slated, not always wrongly, but our full backs are absolutely terrible. Accidents waiting to happen and living off of past glories

I hate Cedric - utter garbage and massively overrated. Nearly cost us from the get go. How could Saints play so well against Arsenal away then look utterly terrible again at home the next week?

Can't help thinking that Ralph's latest slagging off of Obafemi is terrible man management. He played really well against Arsenal and caused all sorts of problems yet Ralph now comes out and slams his professionalism. Way to build up a youngster Ralph! Keep this sort of stuff behind closed doors - I really think Ralph believes he is a lot smarter than he really is. Plenty of head scratching moments this season. SO does this mean the prolific Long will start ahead of Obafemi against Watford?

What an utterly daft remark. If you had seen the game you would have more confidence. We were anything but s**t in the game yesterday and play like that we'll be fine. 2 for the forum whipping boys were excellent (JWP and Stephen). Would like to see more of Boufal and Djnepo together: they look so dangerous. And a shout out to 2 of the players that get a lot of love on here: PEH and Cedric. Both were utterly terrible and PEH is about 5 seconds of thought too slow for the Prem.

Proud of that performance. Of course we should have won but that performance was light years ahead of anything we have seen this season. We can't miss chances like we did - Cedric is f***** terrible. That equalizer was on him. As ever he's too busy watching the player with the ball as opposed to his positioning and defending. Sooner he f*** off the better, preening little p****

Crystal clear foul. Not sure what there is to be upset about with that decision

Usual scapegoats getting grief (Stephens and JWP) but both have been good. IN Stephens case, very good. Very unSaints like that half - we actually looked dangerous (Still super dodgy at the back) and a team. Obafemi creating problems with his pace. Hojberg is absolutely dreadful and Redmond has reverted back to type unfortunately. Played very well and glad we're giving it a go as opposed to the ultra defensive lineups we have seen in recent times

My god, Hojberg is stealing a living as a footballer. Absolutely dreadful player. Still he thumps his chest well and makes good soundbites.

Terrible, terrible side - we are devoid of creativity, pace and any attacking threat whatsoever. Great decision to sell Targett - Armstrong RWB, Cedric LWB. LMAO - clueless, utterly clueless. Play all out attack - at least go down fighting rather than 6-7 at the back and then nothing up top. Seriously think we need Adkins back - put a smile on peoples faces again and play attacking football not this dire, dull rubbish

5 at the back against Everton at home. LMFAO - and even then we can;t defend for toffee. What an utter joke of a club we have become. Terrible ownership, terrible manager, terrible team and whole thing rotten from top to bottom.

The manager has made some utterly head scratching decisions this season but I have to say that while he has not been good the problems at our club lie far, far deeper than the manager. 4 managers on the trot and the same issues - that speaks more to behind the scenes, continuity of coaches, etc. Most wanted Puel gone - how smart does that look in hindsight? So Ralph goes, another comes in and after 6 months the same conversations will be had. At some stage the spotlight needs to be shone on wtf is going on at the club behind the scenes. This group of players make me want to puke - PEH in particular is a pub league player masquerading as a Prem player with all the soundbites but nothing to back it up with.

It does not take a rocket scientist to work out there is a massive, massive problem at our club and has been since Koeman left. What I find really hard to understand is how players that look absolutely terrible for us suddenly start to thrive in a different environment. Two examples this season are Forster and Elyounoussi. I'm not saying either are superstars and they are playing in a very week League but both appear to be different players appearing for Celtic than they were for Saints. And Targett, a player I really felt we should have kept and shipped out the miserable, way past his best Bertrand, at Villa is starting to thrive. Coincidence? Or symptomatic of a terrible coaching setup and toxic environment at Saints? All I know is that I have NEVER seen a Saints side capitulate like that in over 40 years of supporting Saints.

AGree completely. While Puel was not everyones cup of tea he got the most out of a shocking bunch of players than anyone since. Ralph seems to have no idea - his decision making this season has been baffling to put it mildly. AT the time, I would rather have kept Targett over Bertrand. Bertrand has been diabolical this season (and last).

Certainly wouldn't want him out - who else would take this job on? Bit like the Redskins and Dan Snyder - the head coach job is a poisoned chalice. Have said before it will take a good couple of years to recover from the 3 years of disastrous recruiting and decisions. Having said that, some of RH's decisions are baffling - very much so. He was a breath of fresh air last season, bringing in younger players who did not let him down and made a difference, at least short term. This season is almost a complete reversal of that approach and it's been, on the whole, utterly depressing.

Armstrong is another that is utter, utter s***e but beloved because he runs round like a headless chicken with almost no talent. Beautiful skill and pass by Boufal and then Armstrong screws up
