wtf koeman? Romeu has been our best player!

My god.......Pelle is awful

JWP, Romeu, Clasie, Van Dijk have all been good. Rest, not so.....difficult game with very little space and a congested midfield and little creativity. Crying out for Mane up top with Long........the only times we have looked dangerous have been when Long has used his pace. Cedric for Davis and Mane for Pelle at HT would be good.

Pelle doing a good impression of a stone statue so far.

A few weeks back (understandably based on the appalling run we were on and I was among the doubters) a lot of people were questioning our buys and whether our 'black box' approach was broken and whether it was all down to Mitchell before he left. Think it is safe to say it is far from broken. Our summer buys all have something: Cedric - for me, he is now better than CLyne was in his last season for us and certainly better than the Liverpool CLyne. And for a 1/3 of the price Virgil - absolute class and love to see him marauding forward like an elegant midfielder. His heading ability is astonishing CLasie - now showing why Koeman wanted him so bad. His performance today was immense and looks a steal at 8 million Romeu - looking absolute class and for me, offers far more than Wanyama. Absolute steal at 5 million Austin - 4 million? Really - absolute bargain and am sure other clubs are kicking themselves for not getting him at that price Martina - has not let anyone down when he has played and no risk for 1 million Juanmi - bought for the future and jury still out Hopefully we can have a stable summer and give it a real go next season Bravo Les Reed and co

straight red all day long...........awful challenge and once again down to an original touch of an elephant by Wanyama

Pelle has been very, very poor so far. Perhaps understandable due to lack of games recently but he has been terrible

RIP Malc - will always remember when he was wheeled out in front of the crowd and looked so embarrassed!

wow....yet another headscratcher from Koeman. And no sign of Reed on the bench despite how well he played for the U21s. What a negative, defensive uninspiring lineup (yet again) with virtually no creativity.

Can call it right now. Koeman will play a defensive, negative team with no width, no pace and no nouse. We'll play well for 30 minutes until they run out of steam and ideas (fitness levels appear to be awful) and then we'll lose to a stupid defensive mistake started by Davis giving the ball away needlessly. Happens every game and Koeman appears to be showing he is tactically poor, very defensive and has certain favorites that are untouchable.

Glad I did not waste my time watching that. The result was nailed on before the game even kicked off. Koeman is terrible - awful team selection and so negative. Really wonder whether time has come for a change. His tactics are awful, same names on the team sheet week in week out and not changing things up.

bravo Koeman- another negative, uninspired team selection. Really wonder if he has lost the plot.

I would not trust Koeman with any more money this season to buy Dutch players who are no better than what we already have at the club. He should look at his coaching......unfortunately MoPo was by far a better coach than Koeman and had no hesitation in playing younger players. Koemans brand of football is boring, negative and taking us backwards

Verbal - my concern is that Koeman is having too much say in who we buy. Right now I would not trust him with any money: his tactics are awful, he never changes things up in time and is adverse to giving the young (JWP aside) players a chance to shine. For me Reed did more in his time on the pitch yesterday than Wanyama has done all season (Arsenal game aside). Unless he gives the likes of Seager some time on the pitch he'll never know whether he is good enough for the Prem. Its not like we have any clinical finishers on the team right now.....yesterday it opened up nicely for Tadic to have a shot and he bottled it and tried a pass (that failed). Yet Koemans "players" such as Tadic will almost be guaranteed a start.

What on earth is going on with Saints? They look slow, can't finish and too many players will play no matter how bad their form has been (Tadic, Wanyama spring to mind) and none of our hungrier, more dynamic younger players get a look in. Reed showed, in the few minutes he was on, that he will do more for Saints than that c**t Wanyama. Koeman has been shown up this season - he seems clueless and does not change things when the game is crying out for a change. Why persist with Ramirez if he has no future here - and expect him to change things in the 5 minutes he is on? Sleepwalking to a relegation battle - and I think the only thing that will save us is that there are some terrible teams this season - even worse than our team.

Harry Reed has done more in his short time on the pitch than Wanyama has done all season. yet this is the first time he has seen any game time. Obviously not one of Koemans favorites despite his ability

controversial, but I would be happy to see Koeman go. His tactics, team selections and subs have been absolutely awful this season and against WHU and now Norwich it has been plainly obvious the tactics needed changing after the home team starts to take control and he leaves it way too late to make the necessary subs.

sums up saints season. Koeman clueless re. tactics, zero cutting edge and not taking chances and Wanyama who should not be in the side with the way he has played this season. He cant pass the ball, can't tackle and is an utter liability

Wanyama is awful - he lifted his game against Arsenal but other than that he has been very poor this season

Not good......and Koeman's tactics called into question yet again. Failing to respond to West Ham's changes has cost us the game.

awful tactics second half. As per usual, lack of killer instinct in the first half will cost us.

Shane Long......what an absolute joke of a footballer! Sums this team up

Puts to bed the discussion who is the better manager, Koeman or Pochettino. Pochettino hands down.....unfortunately Koeman is clueless when things are not going well.

Well I hope Tadic does not play for us again for some time. Absolute garbage...........but Pelle is playing almost as bad: he looks like a lumbering oaf when he plays like this.

It was Davis you muppets. Unless Clasie is sudenly wearing Number 4 and is an identical twin of Davis
