Ed Rooney

Maybe he doesn’t want to publicly say the players on the night were dog shit and couldn’t control the ball, pass the ball and hid behind players so they wouldn’t have to get on the ball

Let’s not get over the fact that the players were completely shit in that game and the Brighton game, they couldn’t even pass the ball 5 yards, the first touches were horrendous and the desire to actually get on the ball, particularly in midfield was horrendous

Credit when it’s due, AA hasn’t stopped running all game

Lavia has been unreal so far, is pep sorting out the buy back

Never ever kicks with his left foot either, so frustrating

Sali always acts like he has an eternity on the ball, gets caught so often

The question you asked was would I give time to any manager Southampton Appointed, and then you named some random from Maidstone as a situation comparison. Not once have I said I reckon he will or will not make it, my original pathetic remark was to do with how much game proof he has been given before the knives came out. You seem to be wanting to put words in my mouth, so let’s clarify as it’s getting a bit boring. Was Nathan Jones a name I had in mind for Saints appointing - No Did I want him - No (but not sure who else we could have got or would have wanted it) Will he provide similar/worse/better results than the last few managers we have had - No idea yet Do I think he has been given fair game time to warrant some of this hate - No I don’t.

Well if you will make ridiculous childish comparisons then why not treat it with the contempt it deserves

Yeah why not Knob

Yes I would give time to any manager Southampton had appointed. Surely anyone deserves time in a role. Do players deserve time ? Or are they hounded out within a few games ?

Gave you my answer, more than what he has been given. You should have read it properly instead of searching the net for some stupid word to put in your sentence

Have not said Ralph was an appointment that lacked credibility, the point was how much patience and time is given.. Not sure you can speak for the whole fanbase, but your point about people not wanting him from day one is completely valid, the bloke needed a miracle start from a team in massive decline, to get people on side. Even when he does get a result against a premier league side he gets the vocals of “your football is shit”… “we scored a goal”… “how shit must you be, we’re winning away”

That’s fine if you don’t think it’s pathetic to write people off before they have started. I think it is

More than what he has been given before the knives came out. Ralph had 4 years to achieve a win % of 34% and a - 49 goal difference, so think a new guy should be given more time than 4 games in all honesty.

Me too

I dunno we haven’t had the 9-0’s yet… yeah let’s give him one more game eh, he deserves that I suppose. I should imagine a high % of this vast majority were completely against the appointment in the first place. I think we all know that the Jones out views started a long time before any ball was kicked. I am not for one minute saying he’s going to work out but the amount of game time he has been given before judgement is fuckin pathetic

Unfortunately, games are the things you need

At least he has been given 4 premier league games in the space of 12 days to sort out about 18 months of shit. I’m sure all of us could walk into a job and change the mentality, attitude and below par performances of staff in that time.

So lyanco is better than Keane 😂 Stephens is better than Keane 😂 Salisu makes less errors than Keane 😂 You mention him not being able to get into an Everton defence which has conceded a lot less than saints have, and has Coady and Tarkowski in it, yet you would prefer Stephens.. how’s he doing at Bournemouth ? Played more games for the under 21 hasn’t he. You are funny

Since when is he what ? So you wouldn’t take Maguire then ? clown

Keane better and more experienced in the premier league than the dross we have at the back currently. Cracks me up, let’s get some experienced premier league players in, when we are linked with them “nah don’t want him” 😂😂 29 year old, over 200 prem appearances, 12 England caps Not sure what some people want or expect us to be able to get

He does

Pretty much how we lose and have done for a long long time, by handing goals out

Nah not too soon, the jones out thread started pretty much straight away so this is in keeping with that
