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

Clasie is the only one in midfield that has not been a disgrace. Pathetic, spineless, and sleepwalking into the relegation battle.

Well, I really hope Koeman is not given an extended contract. he has been bloody awful this season and we have absolutely zero cutting edge. Make no mistake, we are in a relegation battle - no passion, no spirit and creating bloody nothing. Why not give Seager a chance? He couldn't do any bloody worse than Pelle right now......although, aside from the first 10 minutes, the midfield has created the square root of f all.

Game over....what an absolute load of crap. Shocking midfield (Davis, Tadic and Wanyama have been an absolute disgrace) and defenders not much better. Creating absolutely zero and I really fear we will be dragged into a relegation battle. Koeman, as good as he was last season, has been absolutely terrible this season. He persists with out of form players and our younger players don't get a bloody look in.

Why does Koeman persist with bloody Tadic? And how many times a game does Davis give the ball away in a stupid position under no pressure. And will Saints ever have a bloody shot?

you prats....that article is 5 years old. VVD is one helluva acquisition and oozes class. Yet another great buy from the club.

you really are deluded crab lungs. Forster is so bad he's England's number 2, was part of the meanest defence in the Premiership last season and kept a ton of clean sheets before his injury. Stick to your Nostradamus predictions of #meltdown. Better keepers in League 1.....wow. What an utterly stupid, moronic statement

I'd love us to sign Mane to an extended contract - he seems like a top guy and well grounded and is so exciting to watch. Shows that pace frightens the hell out of defences.

Stek is and adequate second keeper but no more than that. I have noticed that he does not move his feet much as play is happening - this is critical and why he always looks slow to react. He's having to take an extra step to get positioned.....if his feet were moving more he would not have to take that extra step (e.g. he is always on his heels instead of his toes) and be quicker coming off the line and to the ball and reacting to the ball coming in. Forster is a top class keeper and a major reason the defence was so solid last season. Can't believe some people still think Forster is poor.

that is one nice bike winnersaint!

Sussex 4 down now

It's very disappointing to see our younger players being totally overlooked. At least Pochettino had no fear about blooding young players: Koeman does not seem to rate our younguns. Pathway to the first team looks well and truly blocked right now.

oh yeah, Winnersaint........absolutely loving it and would much rather be out on it than at work for sure! Hoping to do Skyline Drive again in a couple of weeks so will be good to see how the bike performs on that!

Before raising this, of course he was marvelous for us last year - however, I am starting to get a bit concerned around his tactics so far this season. Awful tactics in the Europa League, frankly bizarre selections with some of the games, culminating in playing Yoshida at RB today. prior to todays games Cedric had been in the team and we had kept 3 clean sheets. We go 1 up against Utd and then stop doing what was working and surprise, surprise we let Utd back in the game. The style of football has, on the whole, gone down significantly from last season. Obviously not advocating a change of manager but I truly hope Koeman takes a good hard long look at his own selections and tactics. I can't help but feel his decisions have cost us a number of games already.

Got a new Giant Defy (Advanced 2) the other week with disc brakes - incredible for mountain descents in the wet. Then had a bike fit last week - feel like a right idiot! Was getting frustrated that despite fitness being good my speed was not getting better (especially on hills). Turns out my shoes were 2 sizes too big - new shoes and the bike fit and suddenly the bigger hills are nowhere near as challenging and starting to crank it out on the flat! DoH!

Apart from the fact that Forster could be back by Xmas. What club has a number 2 GK that is quality? What GKs want to be a backup?
