Mr X

No haven't seen that but agree we seem to have an inherent niceness in our coaching and management approach which can be a good thing in certain situations i.e giving confidence to our younger player. I'm not saying the hairdryer treatment is the answer but clearly some of the players need a reality check and a wake-up call including the manager, it's like they are all sleepwalking into a new season and are even happy with that!

This herein lies the problem those around RH and GAO seem to have the same mentality as you, keep somone on cos they are a "nice" person who cares if they are incompetent hey

Yes I'm not trying to say he isn't without fault but he kind of hinted that he isn't happy with RH game management how will that go down with Ralph?

Looks like Stephens has spoken out indirectly about the management of the game. https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/jack-stephens-southampton-defeat-everton-5788469

It's almost worth spending some of the remaining money we got for ings and vestergard on paying him out of his contract... How much would that cost us?

Starting Walcott was a clear sign he has lost the plot.... He's been piss poor for ages and nowhere near a premier League player yet he started. Ralph must have had input in the signing of him too letting sentimentality take over, can see him sticking with him too as in Ralph's mafia club once your in your in!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😱

Oh so as much sense in his interview as he provided on the pitch

Haven't even watched Ralphs post match interview, assume he blamed it all on individual mistakes in the 2nd half and not anything to do with bad management of the game?

It's not the losing so much to Everton that hurts, we all knew it was going to be very tough to get any kind of result and I would think most wouldn't have predicted a win but it's the manner we concede leads that's beyond horrific, if you can see Everton have come out the traps for the second half a totally different team and score after like two minutes then you need to react to that straight away not wait till 10-15 minutes from the end when you are 3-1 down! Not sure what goes through RH's head it's almost like he doesn't want to admit that his starting 11 aren't the perfect team, why should he have to change them! What an inconvenience to him! RH's team talks at half time obviously don't inspire the team whatsoever it's like he says "we've got the lead guys so you can go easy now step it down a gear" seriously wtf??? It's not like we've had a good patch even, the whole second half of last season we were bloody awful, record defeats twice, record consequtive losses, nearly the worst goals conceded. Ralph nice guy and all that shit but seriously inflexible, stubborn, can't coach a defence, can't mix things up tactically... It's like he's the golden goose with those that run the club and has been given total free reign. I was willing to keep faith but he just repeats the same dam things. It is time for a change now the club needs fresh inspiration, someone who can at least mix things up and try something different tactically, can't see him walking so god knows how long the club will wait... Till it's too late no doubt.

You might believe it but the board & GAO don't judging by last season he'd have to lose like 20 games in a row for them to consider anything

Our record of points lost from winning positions must be dam near the worst in the league over the last couple of seasons!

Now now Don't hold back! 😜

RH really manages second halves poorly

For his starting team selection and late subs?

Armstrong must be thinking what have I signed up for

Salisu not ready yet and we sell vestergard

FFS what's the point

That will be enough for Everton, tella and diallo have only ten minutes ish

So poor in the second half of games! Class goal tbf to Everton

Hell yes!

No so fragile mentally

Something about our mentality is very wrong in the second halves of games

God doesn't take much for us to be fragile again

Yeah but you should always clear at first opportunity
