Cedric has always flattered to decieve to me. I've never been quite sure why 'big clubs' are supposidly interested in him.

Something about single digits, marching on and hockey.

Selling players.

Or Virgil. We're at least £60m up though.

I do...! But I surround him with pace, so it works.

When you have Gabbiadani and Redmond on the bench it was truly dumb. I like Gabbi, feel sorry for him as I think he's a clever player. But sadly this manager has killed his career here.

I don't have an issue with losing to Liverpool, I don't think any fans do. The problem I have is our 2nd half, the lack of any fight or urgency or desire has just done me in. You can lose, but at least show something. We offered nothing. The problem isn't that we lost to Liverpool, its how we lost it. It was the most boring game in the world.

Luckily I missed the Leicester game, so for me it's as bad as I've seen!

Serious? We have more chance of convincing Rio to come out of retirement. There's obviously something going on behind the scenes with regards to his contract and his demands, but if he does leave it will be for a CL team without question. We wouldn't even be in the equation.

On paper we have players who shouldn’t be where they are. We have a better squad than Brighton, Huddersfield, Burnley, and Bournemouth. We've just been horrifically mismanaged. The fact is that if we do go down, 60% of this squad will be cherry picked as other managers will recognise the quality we have, and will have the ability to create a team with our quality left overs. The PL will be littered with ''former Southampton players''. That's nothing to be proud of, just sums up the colossal mismanagement at every level.

It's getting to the stage where I'm more than happy to present the club with my Football Manager CV. Getting Bradford to the Champions League is not to be sniffed at. I reckon I have a chance.

I don't know what sort of manager he is, I still have absolutley no idea what he's trying to achieve with us.

The 2nd half we were as bad as you could ever imagine us to be. Absolutley truly horrific, devoid of any desire, application or drive. As bad as I've seen us play at home, and I've seen some disgusting home games in the last 2 years.

Given that his prime purpose is to help us in that area, then he failed. Looks like bambi on ice out there sometimes. Another incredibly slow player to add to our incredibly slow team.

Speak for yourself, it wouldn't ignite anything in me other than a big fat ''meh''.

He's still better than Pellegrino.

for 2 years we have been diabolical at home, truly depressing to watch. You can pin it down to Koeman, but I pin it on our inability to correctly replace Mane or inject some pace into this side.

Anyone would be better, let's not kid ourselves.

It wouldn't be a debate if we were at least showing an effort or had some actual direction, but we don't and haven't got a direction. It has been 2 seasons of absolute dog **** at home, I can only count two games in 2 years which have been worth watching. Leicester City last season and Everton this season. That's it.

I doubt they'll give a ****, they've earned a nice enough pocket.

With Carilllo I find it hard to really criticise him, as it's like we've bought a lamp shade without the bulb. We got it half right, but he needed pace and life around him to be effective. Thus we didn't, so he will look like a bit of an oaf. Congratulations to the recruitment morons. I could have done a better job.

Tadic slows us down, I'd play Long in his place and play him wide off of Carillo. It's the best we're going to get, then if we can get ourselves out of the **** we can fix it in the summer. But you are right, we need to move the ball quicker. We seem desperate to just have a high passing count, which must have been very high today. Not that it really matters when probably 60% of those passes are between DM, CB's and GK. There's a lot of dross in this league, of which we are included, so that and the fact we have a few away games against 'said' dross is a slim glimmer I will try to cling to.

Nothing will be confirmed until the final day. We're quite lucky that we're at home to City. Doddle.

The other plus for me is that we're Away a lot, there's no advantage to us playing at home. We're much better away, well slightly less **** is a better way of putting it. Slim positives to cling to.
