I think the high press and possesion football has blinded / won over a few, but for me its a results game 1st and foremost. Mopo has the lowest career win % of all 20 premiership managers and that tells a huge story. In fact you have to go to 22nd in the Championship (Paul Dickov) to find a manager with a lower career win % than mopo

We were linked with him in the summer http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/400689/Newcastle-and-Southampton-vie-for-Cheikhou-Kouyate

Not a legitimate question? You best tell the bookies as they have him as 4th fav as the next to get the boot
-
He is very skillful, skinned Cole a few times yesterday

Every club has injuries - we have a lot less than many as earlier illustrated We are coping equal last

Anyone else share my enthusiasm for Jack Cork?

Wanyama has improved so much since he has been injured He is now our saviour and we shouldnt expect to win anything until he returns How did we ever cope without him? -
Every club has injuries! We have much less than other clubs who just seem to fair / cope much much better http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php

Burnley are not great away from home (recently) failed to win any of the last 6 on the road & not won away from Turf Moor since mid October They also have a very small squad (quality wise) and have a few injuries. They will focus on the championship, while we have little league focus now. This should be a banker

He's been excellent but not sure mopo rates him. Didnt get a sniff earlier in the season and gets taken off most games -
Football is a reults business. Mopo got the Saints job on potential - he wont get a bigger job until he starts to get results. As a manager he averages 30% win ratio.... That is very poor and the lowest of all current premiership managers Even the "crap" managers René Meulensteen, Tony Pulis, Mark Hughes, Poyet, Sam Allardyce all have better career win %
-
I get the impression mopo has been told to show more with the squad we have before he gets any more funds.

We need to go for it. Only thing left to play for this season Would love another trip to Wembley
-
Thats football. Mopo to Spurs was always madness Mopo's win % at Saints is now lower than 30% similar % to his spell at Espanyol. Managers who average

I think mopo will be meeting with NC this week. 1) to discuss our approach to the FA Cup 2) to discuss our poor form and slide down the table 3) to discuss transfers. The issue mopo now has is that the one player he wanted/vouched for has been very poor so far. This may cause issues as NC may no longer trust mopo's judgement and we may now see 100% committee decisions again? Ultimately i think NC will remind mopo that his minimum expectation is 8th and leave him to get more out of the decent squad we have

18 goals conceded in the last 8! Defence has been poor for weeks Dont understand why Cork keeps being taken off - was our best player today -
We are all frustrated. Some of us will vent at mopo / team / results (its the saints forum afterall) While others prefer to vent at other posters!? Not sure i understand that mentality, but if it helps them im happy to take a few insults. Sticks n stone n all that :)

Problem is refs sometimes call them wrong Would be very harsh to punish a team twice

Are we one of the hardest teams to beat in the league?

thought someone would bump this -
Stupid to play him today Conditions were awful and Chelsea were never going to give him the time on the ball he needs Showed a few nice touches and passes but losses the ball so easy and in dangerous areas
-
Last minute winner 19th in league 2
-
ANY manager could win a few with our squad full strengh Good managers can adapt when squad is not 100% and mopo has not done that at all Serious questions need to be asked - if mopo can only do well when squad is 100% fit then he's not for us
