Whitey Grandad

I thought that was chicken chow mein, crispy chilli beef and a portion of egg fried rice???

We played better than against Hull (it couldn't have been worse) but we never attacked with intensity. It was an away performance. Leave one up front, try to keep it tight at the back and hope to nick a goal.

Put Puel in charge of those players and tell them to defend at all costs and you'd get similar results.

Oh do give it up. There was nothing wrong with Forster last night.

From The Times this morning: 'Southampton still attacked but moves tended to break down when Boufal became involved'

The midfield don't get forward quickly enough to support our lone striker. That much is obvious but they must be playing this way under Puel's instructions. We are set up too defensively and that will get us nowhere in this league.

It's been a sh1t season. Whatever went before is no longer relevant.

Redmond had signalled to the bench and then went over to it a few minutes before he was subbed.

Are St Etienne after your wife too?

I'd leave out Yoshida and Stephens too.

I don't agree with that.

He's never broken into a run in his life.

You got one bite. You should quit whilst you're ahead

I'm afraid that for some people winning is everything nowadays. The EFL game against Sunderland was an example. A terrible game lit up by one moment of brilliance from Boufal. The FA Cup home game against Norwich was even worse. Thank goodness we scarped a goal in injury time and avoided another 30 minutes

Not at all. I'm happy with real football, the sort that gets played in the lowere divisions, the sort where the players actually put in some effort.

At least he's cut out the horrendous finishing. There were bugger all attempts against Hull

I feel your dull pain too.

Scoring that penalty and winning 1-0 would not have made Saturday any better, for me. I also had to sit through the home cup games wagainst Norwich and Sunderland which were both awful to watch and both of which we won 1-0. Winning is definitely not the be-all and end-all. League position is not important to me either. if we're above 17th and below 7th then I couldnt give a toss.

But if he is to leave at that point then the players should be privately informed or their agents will be working overtime for the next three weeks.

.5/10

I would never let him and I suspect many others feel the same.

Er... from what I recall you don't go to many home games?

It looked to me like a traditional go-slow. Sometimes called a work-to rule.
