Very good post.... I should add that Puel appears to have completely lost it....

A very dodgy line up.... Puel has some very strange thinking at times. The Manager needs to show more tactical wareness in this game. If play in our own goalmouth again then improvement in the future is very unlikely. At 6 to 5 Everton that looks a very good price indeed... Come on Puel be brave or walk away.... The faint hearted never won anything. Pressing for the whole game.... After being a fan of Puel he is now starting to show an alarming lack of comprehension of what is happening on the pitch. Is he too weak? Is he not a winner? This game will tell us a lot. Does Puel have 'Possibilities' and 'concentration' ? I am looking forward to seeing what he is really made of....

In any other industry a change would be made .... Puel seems now to be a bit of s bottler ..... Many people are rightly asking questions ..... Can Puel answer the growing calls for answers ? I did like him but starting to have doubts. . If we play deep again and Forster plays against WBA then I will be asking him to resign ...

Either our girl keeping coach doesn't know how to coach kicking or coming for a cross or Forster is crap.... One has to go! Which is it Puel???? One or the other ? ????????

Another will not make a blind bit of difference to a team who play in their own goalmouth whilst leaving their only striker to wander around with no Saints player within 50 yards of him! The issue is more with tactics and to some extent a very shaky goalkeeper plus to a lesser extent but still relevant we have VVD who gets caught far to often with the man he is marking getting ahead of him. I would suggest something radical like playing him in defensive midfield. Tactically we simply have to play further up the pitch all game. We can all see us dropping deeper and deeper after the first few minutes. The question as one or two have said is also are we really fit enough because we look off the pace when we play fitter well organised teams. I was a Puel fan but he does need to earn his money now, recognise we are generally far too deep....

Yes Spurs are better than us but tactically we need to wake up and play a higher line, we are just inviting them on to us...

JRod is telling the team what to do here but Puel isn't ....!

When we are ahead we play too deep.... Every time. Surprised that hasn't been put right...

Either you have a short memory or you have a very inflated opinion of Morgan. There are a host of players miles ahead of him. I won't bother to list them....

I am not that we did actually underperform when he was out of the side. As previously mentioned considering to superstar status that some afford him on here we are not in a worse position without him. He flattered to deceive in reality... Not as good as Wanyama and no better than Rom .. Let the emotions flow from the Happys ....

No thankyou ..... He was over hyped here and didn't make it at Utd for a reason.

Tadic cannot take penalties - end of - finito....

One word ......... YEssssssssssssssssssssssss....... Happy Christmas Ronald !!!

We cannot run a premiership team on luck..

For me Fonte has been less of a player this year. Not sure of reasons but he is fortunate to be playing as often as he is. That means we should be looking to replace him. A year ago definitely not, however now..... It is not as cut and dried....

Accurate

Fonts is not the player he was .... We could easily lose him but let's for Gods sake stop selling CHEAP!!!!! As we always do!

Foresters positioning when the ball in play near him is nothing shot of dreadful.... Has been for ever and still is! We have to look at the coaching for this hopeless schoolboy play by Forster.... Yes he is poor a a few basic goalkeeping skills, however nothing has been done about it at all..... Drop him now.... As for the rest of his form .... pretty average..

Correct

Stones anyone!!!

Ronald Koeman

We always sell cheap so would be surprised if we didn't this time too.... VVD is better than Stones. The funny thing about that sentence is that Stones is really not that good. All hype and no substance.... So VVD is worth 60 plus why would we sell for less???? We are completely in the driving seat... ..

Not Clasie or Davies please... these guys are becoming reserves very rapidly...

Well done Saints! Koeman will no doubt retire to the golf course for another week to contemplate how to organise his new 'bigger club' Shame for him though ....

Three up front cannot work.... We are weak in mid field - outnumbered.... There is a mental block with some players when it comes to scoring...
