Just watch the Pellugrino interview...., OMG This guy is completely lost. Calls for consistency but completely changes the team every game! We are consistently crap anyway!

None so blind as those that can’t see... We were terrible today - again ...and only saved by the fact that Huddersfield have worse individual players... I really don’t know if you properly watched the game in detail to have this opinion...

Ok just back.... Absolute rubbish. Man for man every one of our players was better than theirs ... Yet they manage a draw away! Why? This why, they are coached we are not. There is no plan and no cohesion at all. When we did win the ball in defensive midfield Ward Prowse ran - flat out towards infield towards the congested centre circle????? Eliminating our width. This meant There was no outlet????? In fact the general theme was ‘run away’ from our player on the ball.... Redmond and Davies ???? Please ??? How on earth are these guys picked ? The pathetic little directions with the fingers to the players during the match were at best pathetic at worst a disgrace.... Forster - words fail me??? Could have walked out to collect the cross for their goal but stood on the line waiting for the ball to hit the net. I have not seen such uncoordinated rubbish of this magnitude ever watching Saints... This guy has to go now... literally anyone or no one would be an improvement..... No wonder, apparently the players have no respect for this manager it is just unbelievable to watch...

Disgusting the whole way through and obvious lack of coaching!!! Have never seen such turd from Saints in 50 years. If the manager is sacked for gross negigence there is a more serious issue than I thought. The coaching is abysmal !!!!!!!!!!

Pellugrino inane instructions from the touch line.. the guy is lost!!!!

100% the coaching from our manager is non existent. When we attack Ward Prowse in in a defensive central position .. Davies has clearly had it etc etc etc etc Total crap

Sack this clueless ****.... what ever planet is Pelegrino on !!!!!!!!!

Just read that Pellegrino says he will rotate again right through the next few games. This guy is just to ‘clever’ He does not need to rotate, we are out of the league cup and have been for months. Players need to gel and when they do he changes it all again immediately. He hasn’t repeated the line up since beating Everton even! He is just off the pace and full of his own importance.

Let’s face it .... Tadic will be on the right where he is non existent ditto Redmond on the left. If this happens again then Pellegrino should be sacked - end of ....

We do definitely have a high opinion of ourselves and that is arrogance. We - as in Reed and the chairman preach a lot about the Southampton way as if we are superior in some way... We are not and those two are !

Eric Black resigns due to an abject failure to coach players who obviously have issues that are not addressed. In addition team tactics have been very suspect during his whole term at the club. This situation has lead to Southampton FC happily accepting his resignation though we thank Eric for diligently taking the club backwards during his term of office. For this service he was well respected by the players who enjoyed the lack of success in the period and his wonderful company. Ok then - if you say so..... Now what is Pelligrino made of..... From the evidence so far, similar fluff....

Sorry but lots of people are missing the point here. We are not getting the most from the squad we have..... Whilst we continuously chop and change the team to the point of utter confusion pointlessly dropping players who play well and playing players out of position with zero coaching we will continue to go backwards... It’s the management and lack of coaching to the players that is hurting us and nothing deeper or more meaningful than that....

Simon - Longer contracts is not the problem.

The Redmond Tadic issue has not been sorted by a mediocre coach who does not see what is going on on the pitch in front of him.... No longer acceptable - a Tiro league coach would have seen those very simple issues by now but not MP.... Anyone could do better

Whilst we don’t a team of world beaters this guy will not improve with changes to the squad because he drops players who play well and keeps players in who are crap ! The guy is clearly clueless ....

As this manager seems to learn nothing as he goes along expect the same team! On the other hand-someone said he is a tactical genius against the big teams just for putting everyone behind the ball! Will be interesting to see what Black does for this game anyway....

Let’s get this totally straight.... It doesnt take a tactical genius to put 10 men behind the ball!!! It does take tactical eneptitude to play well for 10 mins and be crap for the remaining 80 90% If the time... We are very poor 90% of the time .... Anyway - anyone else - other that MP up for Tadic on the right and Redmond on the left next game???? Ummmm thought not!!!! Our Manager though cannot see this... So when do you say ‘sorry mate but you are now showing how poor you are at recognising how to get the most from your players’ ..... ? No wonder they have him by the throat - the guy just doesn’t get it at all...

Lord You have totally missed the point ... He plays players in positions they have proved over two seasons not to be able to play in. He drops players who play very well for no reason - we don’t need to rotate! He doesn’t know his best system or players.... He doesn’t adapt during games... HE has the lack of application and it’s ****ing the players off now and the fans... He is not up to the job ..

Yes as for Tadic on the right again ????? Wtf isbthst about??? The similarities with last season are uncanny to the point where Black definitely picks the team... The guy seems to bully his peers and get his own way.... The similarities are just to repetitive for Black not be pulling the strings .... They both have to go....

I rest my case your honour and thank you for presenting the evidence so well....

Yes - must be worth millions now!

What a lovely description .... The picture you paint is a carbon copy of many Saturday at 6pm at the paper shop..... Great memories..... I hadn’t realised ‘The Football Echo’ had finally ceased. Shame about progress sometimes...

Baffling very baffling

The ‘over reaction’ is by the poor poor people who are so called ‘offended’ by others having an opinion on matters.. There is a subject at the beginning of every thread, stick to that and stop trolling individuals who have stuck to the subject... I think MP is off track. Some players he ‘rotates’ others don’t get rotated. We are not Europe or the League Cup so all players should be able to handle the number of games we have. He is another egotistic tinkerer who cannot learn by events .... it’s taken him months to realise Tadic cannot play on the right yet I am sure he will play him again soon ....For instance... He is a rabbit in headlights who luckily had some good players to keep him on a job...

They have money to burn.... and waste! There will be 50 busses more than needed at each station, no organisation and everyone will arrive at the ground at 4 o’clock in the morning!
