Bertrand was a bloody disgrace today (like most of the season). I would rather see Targett or McQueen in there - who would at least bloody try.

My god, this bloke really is totally deluded.....................if that is a reference for how he wants us to play, god help us! Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrinio, speaking to MOTD: "We did everything we had to do against an opponent that was defending 90% of the game. We were much better than them in all different aspects of the game apart from efficiency. They had one chance and scored. It is really painful for us, we did everything. The intensity and football was good, but we lost. "I don't want to talk about luck. In this aspect we need to improve our accuracy. Today the spirit of the team and the attitude was really good. "We had to use this game as a reference about how I would like my team to play. We deserved more. "We have quality and capacity to keep playing in this way. We controlled the opponent totally in my view but in the respect of efficiency, Burnley were better than us."

Utter BS.....you telling me Stephens, JWP, Redmond, VVD, Sims, McQueen, Romeu, Yoshida all went backwards under Puel. They were coached well - this clown HAS made players go backwards. Puel did a terrible job - 8th and a Cup Final. This clown - relegation beckons. Make the change now Saints before its too late. If no-one lined up bring back Adkins and get some bloody positivity in the club until the right manager is available

WTF is this guy doing as our manager? Absolutely clueless and bringing JWP on in the 90th minute. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pellegrino out - before it's too late. make no mistake we are careering towards relegation with this clown in charge. So much for Reeds proclamations that he was going to bring attacking, exciting football......it is the total opposite and wtf was the point in firing Puel to bring in this clown? 3 shots on goal at home (again) and pedestrian rubbish.

wtf.....what on earth does that piece of c**p Tadic have to do to get dropped? Talk about an unbalanced side - not really sure what on earth the manager is trying to achieve with that lineup.

2 - 1 Leicester....looking more and more like it is our players that were c**p as opposed to Puel

Very worrying article in the Echo with ROmeu. Basically saying the manager wants the other teams forward players marked when we are 'attacking' in case we lose the ball and get an attack going. Talk about negative...........but must be wrong as we were promised exciting, attacking football when he was appointed. Dull fest tomorrow where we will be cautious to make sure Burnley can't score

TBF, although I felt (and still do) that Puel was hard done by I was in the UK for the Man City game and have never been so bored at a football game as I was that day. Unlike the 70s, that match cost me over 40 quid and I spent the entire 90 minutes wishing I hadn't bothered. This season has been an extension of that exercise in futility and while entertainment is not guaranteed, it would be nice to have some occasionally. I cannot think of 1 single game under MP that has been in the least bit entertaining.

not the messiah......but a damn sight better than mp

actually, the commentators are commenting on the changes he has made to their setup and how comfortable they look in this new formation. oh and younger players getting a look in. shows how counter attacking with pace can make a difference as opposed to our plodding manner. looks like it was our players that were/are the problem, not puel

oh my, leicester playing some lovely stuff and great shape. what could he have done with boufal and the younger players this year? forced out by c*** players who have shown this season we should have dumped them not puel. still at least our fans have a manager who does better interviews.......

worth recyclimg this. absolutely bloody clueless. he has to go......totally uninspiring and tactically useless

Saints fans booing Pellegrino for that sub

wtf - Pellegrino OUT! Taking off Boufal for Redmond and leaving that nomark Turdic on!

We have only one player who looks like he can make something happen - Boufal. And yet he is stuck out on the wing while Tadic is supposedly behind Gabbi but has been a passenger the whole game

This is utter turd yet again. And MP is a bloody liability - shutting up shop after we went 1 up and letting them in the game. Awful tactics (if you can even call it that). Seeing that buffoon on the sideline with his arms folded and not changing things while we are being overrun is infuriating. Please please put him out of his misery and sack him Les Reed. He is taking us backwards at a fast pace

absolutely awful from Saints after a positive start. Plodding and we are not getting more than one player in the box. No attacking intent at all - take Tadic off and bring Long on. Tadic has done absolutely nothing (again).

plod, plod, plod - inspiring stuff from Saints

Tadic is an absolute bloody disgrace - runs into the Brighton player and rolls over as though he has been shot

TRouble is our current manager doesn't know his arse from his elbow.....

Yeah, failed spectacularly. Cup Final and 8th place - what an awful result. Sure MP will have no problem improving on that with better players this year.............

If he goes there, they are getting a better manager than we have currently. Disgracefully treated by the fans and club and, as this season is showing, it wasn't necessarily his tactics that were wrong it was the billy big ****** players that were the problem. I'm sure Leicester would start seeing some younger players being given opportunities and improving under his tutelage - something we are sadly unlikely to see under MP.

You really think a win over West Brom has done anything other than paper over the cracks? We were clueless until Boufal came on - he should have been on from the start.

Boufal rightly p***** at MP - should have played from the start. No doubt he won't start next game............ Long is done and should be sold asap - absolute disaster. Boufal doing what not one other player in our side can do - attack at pace and not pass sideways or out wide for a pathetic cross to come in.

Thats it......utter utter moron we have as a manager. Redmond for Romeu - wtf!
