That's complete nonsense the current strikers are equivalent of Norman Dean .Brett Ormerod Keith Cassells and Kerry Dixon who hardly ever scored I suppose you never saw Derek Reeves George O'Brien Terry Paine Phil Boyer Ted McDougal Ron Davies Martin Chivers Steve Moran Kevin Keegan MLT Rickie Lambert Pelle Alan Shearer and Mane they were top class players who scored literally hundreds of goals for Saints there is no one of their calibre at SFC now . Although Derek Reeves probably missed more clear cut chances than he scored Of course there we many top class midfielders the Wallace Brothers David Armstrong Stevie Williams who scored regularly as well. We have had some really top class attacking players at SFC who played consistently well which we don't have now

You maybe right but Poch is one of the really top managers in the world and it would be unlikely to attract someone of his calibre again. Having followed SFC for over sixty years there is not one of the our current players in my opinion would get into an eighteen team squad containing all the Saints players I have seen. It is the players which count the most I think but of course a decent manager does help but scoring goals helps too - how many goals have the strikers and attacking midfielders scored in the PL this year

If Kane and Toby played for us and Long and Hoedt played for Spurs probably there would not be much difference between our League Positions. It is because we have not outstanding players that we are in the position we find ourselves

Sorry should have said we could be in the relegation zone this afternoon

But we could be in the relegation drop zone this evening

You have no idea what happened have you. I have no idea either but know we bid £25m which appears to me we wanted him but not at £30m

Very true a good Championship player who helped us to the PL

It is pretty worrying if people like you reject evidence http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11229172/southampton-have-quincy-promes-bid-rejected-by-spartak-moscow and believe what ever they think is the reality of the situation. We bid but were not successful

Why would we waste time in trying to sign him if we did not want him. How do you think all the VVD money is going to get into GAO's pocket? Surely the club is audited and pays taxes on profits. I doubt he wanders in to the club shop to grab a few quid from the till to buy some Sweet and Sour Pork in a local Takeaway but of course I maybe wrong

Looks a big task lets hope we have some luck Southampton v Liverpool Burnley v Southampton Southampton v Stoke City Newcastle United v Southampton Swansea City v Southampton West Ham United v Southampton Arsenal v Southampton Southampton v Chelsea Leicester City v Southampton Southampton v AFC Bournemouth Everton v Southampton Southampton v Manchester City

The Brighton team showed one change from the team that played well in the previous game against Watford so why make loads of changes The made two changes and brought in a new player yesterday Attacking players still not scoring is our main problem at the moment

Exactly you blame the manager I blame the players they earn £millions but continually mess up If they had scored a another goal each month it is likely we would be in the top ten

I think it would just be best to support the team all this negative stuff from knobs like you is not helping the team. If you don't like the way the club is run **** off and support another team I doubt the board are happy with how things are and are very likely to be focusing on how to get the team obtain better results but it is not easy. Most football teams cannot succeed all the time just accept it and get behind the team.

Our attacking players are just crap at the moment rather like last season

You really are deranged sometimes you just have to accept that things don't always go the way you want especially if you are in the relegation zone especially in January I don't think we have had a good window but I don't see many players suitable to SFC have gone elsewhere. We just need Gabbadini Boufal and Redmond to perform to a higher standard

and what will that achieve?

Euros are a pretty strong currency not sure about the rouble

I can't forecast what you will weigh in 10 years time but I can predict that if you eat a lot of burgers and don't do any exercise you will weigh more than if you eat healthily and go to the gym

Well clearly he is not a clown he is managing a team which lacks goal scoring attacking players which has been apparent for the last two seasons Puel had the same problem last season but seems to be doing OK at Leicester. Puel did better last season with VVD playing well we had a better defence and Fraser was not such a liability. Now that McCarthy is fully fit he has been replaced and things are getting better

I really can understand how the tactics were disastrous if we actually won you could have said that if we had drawn or lost. Keeping a slender lead is quite common I would have thought but our players recently have not been able to do it surely this will give them confidence. It is not as though the attack is prolific and likely to score goals in the last twenty minutes or at anytime really despite having chances In the last two games no attacking player has scored and although it would be great if we had great attacking players who scored regularly but we don't so at the moment keeping it tight is probably a reasonably good tactic to win or draw games. But of course if we had players like Mane Lallana Lambert and Pelle playing I doubt we would be in the position we are now and I doubt it is not going to get better in the short term even with a new manager especially as we had problems last season under Puel

You might not like the tactics but they worked and we won However I would like to know why the manager did not bring on Lemina instead of Yoshi perhaps there was concern if Pied was playing at LB

I wonder in what minute Watford will equalise hope they don't but with missed chances penalties not given and top players injured that we have not had the rub of the green this season

Yes I agree we already have Boufal and Redmond running round and not doing much

Yes get good attacking players get good results praise the manager Get bad attacking players get bad results blame the manager. I just don't think it easy to buy in outstanding and consistent attacking players Over the last 25 years we have managed to acquire what two or three whilst we were in the PL. Every team in the World is looking for them and the better ones are unlikely to want to come here. I think you have to realise that we are a second tier club that is bound to struggle from time to time

So not many which was the point I was making getting really good ones is very difficult especially as they cost loads Not much from the Academy either McGoldrick Blackstock Best good Championship strikers If Austin was available most of the time I doubt we would be buying Guido now
