Fixed that for you.

They can't run one football club let alone four.

Poch realised that the team needed to be ultra fit to compete. The current manager and coaches appear not to think the same as players don't seem as fit as other teams. No excuse for that.

It's spelt Low and he was with Tuchel at Chelsea and has also worked with our Ralph who rates him highly. Has never been a manager always an assistant. Strange one if it has any truth.

RM knows he's not the sharpest tool when it comes to coaching - that's why he hides behind this philosophy of wanting to play possession football. It's nothing more than a con and a smokescreen to cover his shortfallings.

Either shirt tugging is a penalty or it isn't. Taylor talking about consequences is bullshit because nobody knows what the consequences would have been without the shirt pull - maybe Vardy would have missed and Tall Paul would have scored, maybe vice versa, maybe they both score or both miss - in other words nobody knows so it's irrelevant.

How about defending a last minute corner and leaving opponents unmarked on the edge of the box giving them a free shot resulting in 2 goals and the loss of 3 points? It is absolutely ludicrous that Martin has presided over this mistake for a second time in just a few games and says a lot about his limitations.

It has happened before so,on that basis, you can't possibly exonerate the manager. Yes, players take some blame but they have clearly not been drilled enough or they wouldn't repeat the mistake.

You're comparing apples with oranges - the guy who had some success last season was operating in the Championship which is clearly the ceiling for his ability.

If not he's a fucking good pick-pocket.

I'm even more curious that you can give a penalty for a handball without consequence but, according to Taylor, not a very blatant shirt shirt pull. It seems officials are being allowed to make up rules as they go along. Howard Webb needs to look into this and make a statement because it's a ridiculous situation.

Agree - the poison killing this club is SR. Time to cut the head off the snake.

If we really can't get anyone better than Russ we are completely screwed.

Pretty good as a rule.

SR led by chief snake-oil salesman Rasmus is one of the worst things to happen to this football club. Not one of them has demonstrated that they have the first idea about running a football club. Until the lot of them are gone this shit-show will continue. RM shares much of the blame but the real charlatans responsible for the demise of Southampton FC are those hiding behind the banner of Sports Republic. Semmens made a huge mistake in deciding to let them get their grubby hands on the club we love.

This guy couldn't coach a decent defence if he was given the Arsenal 'invincibles' back four in their prime.

How about a fresh manager?

Could be talking about himself here for every game this season.

In case it escapes you Lallana is not a headless chicken type of player who goes chasing down lost causes - he's more your classy player with skill and vision who makes himself available, keeps the ball ticking over, rarely wastes a pass and brings his team mates into the game. Obviously he can't now do it for 90 minutes but today he should have been brought on and he'd have certainly introduced some calm, leadership and much needed advice for those that were the headless chickens,

Yeah cos he hasn't looked our best player every time he's set foot on the pitch has he.

Dragan's Den 🙂

I get that.

Agree.

You my not agree but Southampton FC has a proud history having spent many seasons in the top league which is an achievement for a relatively small club. We have never had the riches that might have enabled us to win trophies but, in our way, we've done very well. To me that makes us a great club and I'm angry that we are now being run by amateurs.

I judge as I see and hear - from listening to RM regularly my impression is that this remark was his way of saying we need to get used to it because he's going nowhere soon. It's a little smug dig at those who dare to question or criticise him. He annoys me as you describe it because he along with SR are ruining our great football club and turning us into an embarrassment. If that is ok with you then that's your choice but I'll continue to call out this farce.
