Unfortunately I think the improved display when we tried to attack probably brought him more time. No doubt it will be back to 10-1 formation against Utd.

Says it all.....as soon as the shackles come off we look half decent. We are not good enough to defend for 90 minutes.....unfortunately I think the 2nd half will have brought the clown more time. We should just play attacking, entertaining football....not this defensive crap he has instilled. We might even win a few games. For me, shows that with a change of manager we should be targeting top half: not a relegation battle with this idiot.

Pellegrino is an utter f***** w******r. Setting up for a lucky 0-0 draw: I remember when we attacked teams and tried to win. Shane bloody Long - wtf? My missus got up early here in the US to watch the game - I told her she was crazy and went back to sleep. Would never have happened before this season. PLayers have given up - Earle and Mustoe have just said this is the worst Saints team they can remember and that the players look like they don't care. If EVERYONE can see this why on earth are the Board silent and not acting? He should have been fired weeks ago. Absolutely terrible appointment from Reed and co.....and likely to result in relegation.

Guy is an utter clown and is like a deer caught in headlights. Incompetent, terrible tactics and baffling decisions. Never changes a game in time when other managers make changes and treatment of Boufal is an utter disgrace.....especially when that diving, whinging piece of s**t Tadic is preferred over him all the time. As soon as we take the lead you can see him urging the players to sit deep....bloody awful to watch and the team is playing like a group of strangers. Terrible, terrible mistake by Reed and co and could well cost us our place in the Prem because I just don't see how he will get us the results we need.

what a bunch of cockles......trying to blame Forster for the goal when there was nothing he could do. mistake from Yoshi but Austin should have buried his chance a few minutes before. Players who were atrocious today were Davis and Tadic....and neither should have started but then MP is a total clueless muppet. Considering Targett has barely had a chance with the 1st team this season I thought he did pretty well. Certainly not as bad as some of the posters on here think.

I cannot believe how poor we are.....we are going backwards and this group of players should not be as bad they are playing. Looks like there is a LOT wrong at our club and changing managers won't resolve them all - but MP was an absolutely terrible appointment and we are down with him in charge. Awful team selections, awful tactics and incapable of changing a game.

Boos ring out and MP smirks. F***** clown, get the c*** out now. DOn't even wait until tomorrow.

Utter garbage....again! MP OUT NOW

If we had a threatening midfield and attack the mistakes at the back would not be so costly. We create so little ....... but why oh why did the clown start with Tadic and Davis?

I really can't remember the last time a Saints team had me so fed up. An utterly clueless, defensive manager who is so far out of his depth yet the Board stands idly by while we sleepwalk to relegation. We have Udders on the ropes and then go back to negative, defensive tactics letting them back in the game. Wagner makes changes and the clown stands with his arms folded and reacts 15 minutes too late. This is the poorest Saints side for many a year

Davis is done....never should have been on the field in the first place. ANd then the clown makes 2 like for like subs: where the 2 subs should have been starting. ANd now Austin injured......so where will the goals come from?

Well done Austin - we would already be screwed completely without him. Still an utter garbage performance.

Honestly, it is worse Norm. I don't think we have strung more than 4 or 5 passes together all game and its like a team of strangers with very little skill. Only 1 team going to win this at the moment and it is not Saints.

This is utter garbage....no heart, desire, passion or skill. MP needs to go and go now. Absolute garbage and starting to make Branfoot look like a football genius

Tadic - you absolute f***** c***. Get out of our club you pr***. Rolling around like hes been shot, we put the ball out and he springs up immediately. What a terrible, terrible start by Saints......like they've never played together before and have just been picked up off the street.

What an absolute tool.......no Hoj, no Romeu and no pace. This manager is a dud.....Tadic but no Boufal He is so clueless he needs to go now. ABsolute f****** joke

OBviously wishful thinking but......they showed Thomas Tuchel in the crowd. Perhaps scouting Spurs for his first game in charge of Saints?

utter garbage.....and when we actually tried to play you could only wonder what would have happened if we had done that from the start. I am sick of the defensive, negative tactics with 11 behind the ball.....at least go for it and try to win some games. Taking our best midfielder (Hoj) off was baffling but then nothing this clown does surprises me. And certainly looks like Black is no longer at the club so that;s one less scapegoat. PELLEGRINO OUT

For all you lot constantly slagging Forster.......if not for him, we would be down by 5 or 6. This team is dire and coached by a buffoon.

We are getting what we deserve - nothing! To be set up with 11 behind the ball - or 1 up front with no other players in the same half as him - is disgusting. People rightly complain about Allardyce, Pulis, DYche, etc and their defensive, negative play but this clown takes it to a whole other level. If we don't fire him now I don't see how we will avoid relegation. Down 1-0, and he makes a like for like substitution (yes Austin nearly scored). Still can't believe we were promised an attacking, pressing manager when nothing he had ever done gave any hint this would be the case. Why not try someone like Hesketh in the 1st team squad? Utterly bored and utterly demoralized.

LOL.......this guy is so far out of his depth. It would be funny if it were for another team, but its just sad that this idiot managed to become Saints manager. Les Reed and board - hold your heads in shame. You fired Puel way too early and got a significant downgrade on him in as manager promising attacking, exciting football that was just an outright lie. I thought the 1st half performance against ARsenal was encouraging and then he obviously told them to sit deep which was never going to work: especially as Arsenal looked dire at the back. Now, for Chelsea he has effectively given up on the game and is looking to damage limitation rather than trying to win the game. Utterly clueless and his inevitable firing will be months too late. Make no mistake: with this clown in charge we are likely to go down.

No idea why so many on this site seem to loathe him. He was outstanding today .... the piece of skill in the 2nd half to lob the ball over the Arsenal player look up and play the perfect ball into Austin (whose control let him down) reminded me of MLT at his prime. He got stuck in, always made himself available and defended admirably. Very, very impressed with him today. He now needs to play that way consistently.

too defensive 2nd half. We ceded too much time and space whereas every time we attacked Arsenal looked dodgy. Poor finishing the difference between 1 and 3 points. But much improved displayes last 4 games.....just wish we did not go quite so defensive. JWP was immense 2nd half and PEH, Romeu, Stephens, Bertrand all excellent.

Why all the hatred for JWP? He has had a pretty darn good 1st half....tracked back, lovely control and getting stuck in. Redmond, on the other hand, has been truly awful and cannot seem to control, pass or use his head (very lucky not to give a penalty away). Good 1st half and nice to see Saints playing as an attacking unit. Last 3.5 games the manager has shown something he didn't previously and maybe he will be OK. In which case there will be massive humble pie from moi!!!!!!!

What a bloody clown. Going into it as defensive as we are will result in what we deserve: nothing. This guy is so clueless it is untrue......even Saturday against Everton when we were crushing them he made extremely defensive substitutions instead of going for the jugular. 4-0 City
