Read between the lines! I was meaning that usually when players come out in support of their manager it means the manager might be on his way out ie the kiss of death! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Why two of them? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Ralph Krueger as nice as he may/maynot be, should not be our chairman, think everyone in the country thinks we can do better, our chairman role seems almost a made up role so he could be employed, what does he actually do? other than cringeworthy motivational talks? how he got the job is anyones guess obviously good friends with Kat.

I think the club know if they sold him now it would be at a loss so they are gambling on him getting better in the next couple of years & continuing their policy of sell on at a profit, we certainly need someone to fill clynes role, martina is certainly no long term replacement for clyne but he is much better in attack than cedric.

People forget Cedric was supposed to be a ready made replacement for clyne but so far he doesn't look like being able to reach anywhere that level! the only skill ive seen from him is he can be quite pacy but most of his crosses are pants and his passing is sloppy his defending is no better or worse than martinas. Martina although older is more effective for us in my opinion.

YoShida is to prone to mistakes averages one or two serious ones every game!

How many times a season does yoshida do an underhit back pass

What's most amazing is that martina is a better player than cedric!

Terrible terrible attitude from tadic!!!!! Never a penalty but hey we deserve some luck!

We will see what Puel is made of tonight

I am behind the times haha, proven to be rubbish then?

Rumours that Puel has had a huge bust up with tadic

The worrying thing is even if we were are in or hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone at xmas I can't see the board accepting they've made a mistake with his appointment, I personally think they will stick with puel whatever the consequences are!

Agreed Id rather beat swansea, europe is great don't get me wrong but we are never going to realistically go far in it anyway especially judging by our league performances

Agreed no disrespect to swansea who are a good side at times but we should be taking 3 points

Just how important is this game now in the scheme of things? will the players get despondent with puel should we lose again? What team & formation would you start?

Good post agree with your summary & the bold bit may be our downfall if the players think it too, there's still plenty of time for puel to turn things around but i'm not convinced he will if he persists with a system that seems ineffective & without a proven striker that's fit

firstly I'm not in any way saying that four or five games is enough of a fair chance for any manager it clearly isn't, but does anyone truly believe puel is the right manager for us? somehow the appointment just doesn't seem the right fit for us from the beginning, all the talk of next level, will puel ever be at the level of koeman or poch? (i know they had there own faults) Does anyone truly believe he can offer the passion & motivation to win the players over?

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14720698.Saints_end_record_breaking_summer_with_largest_Premier_League_profit/ reason to worry? who knows!

no two ways about it our manager could send a insomniac on 20 cans of red bull to sleep, god knows how the dressing room talks work! doesnt sow the slightest bit of energy or enthusiasm doesn't mean hes a bad manager though I guess

Agreed

Hello to mid table mediocrity (if we're lucky)

He's going to Spurs to join Wanyama, two Wantaways reunited!

We need to keep him at all costs hes shown signs that he can get back to his best, cant see him coming back if he goes & we are woefully short of quality strikers the rest are not good enough at their current fitness levels
