You win and lose football games but we were terrible and have been on and off for a little while. Man City we were lucky not to get at least 6 against us.. ! Koemans decisions are very worrying as for tactics and coaching - well some if it is laughable !

This guy is pish poor and if Koeman has any sense at all he will drop him - utter rubbish...

He our number one come what may - great strategy that .... Cost us several games this year ... I love black boxes....

You have to justify the 'Black Box' which means Mane, Tadic , and Foster are undroppable ... This is why Koeman will start to lose some respect.... The kids could not be worse so use them !

For Gods sake Koeman get Mane off and write off the 10m or what ever it was ....

Brave comment but starting to partially agree....

That's very good and also 'positive' !

Are we disagreeing over who is best or who is worse ? Is there much to choose. Let's face it there isn't much between them..

Let's have some positive comments - I'll start: At least Tadic has been rested/dropped ... ;-)

Have you been drinking or living in a. Borneo jungle by any chance !

Think one RKs weaknesses is personnel selection. He keeps playing players who are obviously not producing any form.... The declaration of Forster playing as the. 'No1 ' come what may was poor management sending out all the wrong messages and in addition Forster should have been dropped by now.... I know we have a lot of injuries in the squad but there will be a couple in the under 21s who could do a job which is at least on a par with Mane and even a very Tadic lately...

You have to have more about you than 'hope' to do well in this league . Ambition and decisive skillful football might get you somewhere - hope will not.......

If JWP is the answer what is the question? He doesn't affect games in a material way, doesn't score goals or make runs into dangerous positions. He can kick a dead ball and make an easy pass but is probably not going to be good enough...

A poor goal keeper why is he in ahead of Boruc???? He is truly awful...always asleep always stood rooted to his line and never alert to what's going on in the game. Vulnerable to the ball over the top as he's always not watching the game and stood on his line. Some blame must go to the coaches for his continued similar mistakes. Dross watched him a lot now and he is poor.....

Forster is a liability

Forster is a liability

The reason he got into trouble against Villa was exactly the same. He is too slow to get to the ball because he is asleep on his line. He was caught out the same against City but go away with it...

Whilst Fonte is for sure losing his touch why why don't the coaches teach Forster to be on his marks ready to 'sweep' and not permanently rooted to his line asleep like he is....

For Gods sake did Koeman watch our last two games with Mane,Pelle, and Long together! No midfield ????? What the hell is he on? A poor team and asking for it against United !!! Unbelievable ... Our midfield will too far apart and completely overrun ala Man City....

If you have nothing to say why start a thread about it!!!!!

If Tadic has another poor game will he be dropped for Man U? One would doubt it but hell he doesn't deserve a place right now...

At long last Jack Cork gets another game! About time too... Too a good a player to be on the bench all the time... This is probably our best team IMO. Controversial I know but I think is at least as good as MS and better than SD . Yes cork can play that more advanced role if required... Against City we were woeful with the ball and Jack Cork misplaces a pass about twice a season....

Frankly the 'system' I saw against Man. City and very recently isn't one to get excited about and desperately hold on to. So being precious about that doesn't hold much water...

Can't that he is better than Boruc at all... He was at fault for the Villa and almost made the same mistake again today... He needs to be out nearer the edge of his area when the ball is up the other end and not stood on his blinking goaline so he has to run miles to get to a ball played over the top... Can't believe our goalkeeping coaches haven't sorted that out after Villa. Makes me wonder what they do all week..,

Good call Cleaner. Tadic was really poor as was Pelle and Mane and Davis and Forster who needs some coaching on where to stand when the ball is up the field and it's not on his goal line!!!! Didn't he or the management learn that at Villa???? If he is 10m better than Boruc then he must be something else in training! Big problems lately... We do not close down - City and Chelsea do. The result is we got caught in possession umpteen times because they hunt in packs - we don't! The reason we were caught out so many times was also the fact that we use the age old method of playing football - pass and stand still. Our player in posseession never had options - city always had about four! This meant as we stood off they just passed through us more or less at will.... So what coaching are we employing... This was not football played by us today this was dark ages Saints stuff hoping for something to happen - many of saw years of it but now rightly we expect something more thought through and structured.... We were poor today and the concern was our method of play as much as some very poor individual performances.... Lack of structure however puts the pressure on individuals to perform miracles ....
