Well I thought Harry Reed looked pretty competent when he was called upon last year. Perhaps others saw something that I didn't to his detriment. Still do not see what people see in Clasie, run of the mill CM...

Any win would be acceptable to most I think. A win is a win.

Perhaps he mean's rapid regression year on year from the point when we were 3rd last year. Just an idea, might not mean that at all..

If he gets a game it might put Koeman's binky Clasie into the shadows I suspect.* This is one of Koeman's big problems, he has binkies who get a game no matter what. Remember last year when Pelle couldn't buy a goal and Gallagher was spoken of, Koeman's reaction, we don't need Gallagher,we have enough strikers or something of that ilk. Nothing like boosting a young players confidence levels eh..

Never mind what he said at half time, he shouldn't have said what he did about not being a project manager and needing to spend more money. That says to players "you're not really good enough but the club won't spend more so I'm stuck with you" Didn't really want him in the first place and still think the sooner we're shot of him the better it will be.

Why isn't it good enough, I mean we've spent over 100 million £ on players since the Don left. 100 million raised from the sale of players who were good enough to beat the side that Liverpool put out last night. I'm amazed at the ease with which most posters accept the current shambles despite the shedloads of cash spent on players. Knocked out of europe by danish minnows, thrashed by Liverpool at home and 10th in the PL. Not really good enough is it.

Well then perhaps you should. Liverpool had a rookie left back on the field last night,a 3rd choice midfielder and a 2nd choice keeper. Saint's fans in general are nowhere near demanding enough. The Don would probably have sacked Koeman this morning,well if he'd ever appointed him in the first place that is. As you said we had our best available side out last night and we were totally humiliated by a substandard Liverpool side.

Weren't we top 3 at this time last year ? Befor Frazer got injured and the rot set in.

Seriously? I thought making the league cup final was being built up as a major objective for the club and last night's debacle seems now i to be being written off as a minor mishap. We went 1 up after 45 seconds and had them on the ropes, we didn't have the quality to press home our advantage and their midfield inexorably showed their greater class. Still never mind there's always the FA Cup, and if not next year's League Cup etc etc ad infinitum. .

What big spends....we don't do big spends we do mid range I'll take a punt on him spends. For 12/13 million you don't get proven quality, you get maybe men who might perform if everything around them is working well. Mané is ok, Long a total failure. As for the 5/6 million munters, well you might as well play academy players really. From last night's game I saw nothing done by either Clasie or Romeu that Reed couldn't have done.

You should be then, Klopp has made it easy for us, unless he's actually counting on Sturridge that is.

You really think he'll get a club as big as that. Dutch national side or mid table Spanish, perhaps he's eyeing up Valencia although I think he got sacked from there before and left some bad impressions.. He ain't that good a manager on the global scale and he isn't a young up and comer any more.. Cocu is the next dutch big thing.

Well I think we are, Ralphy and Reed keep on mentioning it but it has to be done in a way that doesn't cost too much money and even that not too much has to be financed by the sales of our best players . Sounds like a Joseph Heller scenario really.

wasn't it a frying pan full of bacon that Claus dropped on his foot? Probably had a whole pig in there or something.

Firkin box of frogs...Given his antics at Marseille he'll probably never get another serious job.

Pochettino..... I mean Spurs will surely have sacked him by then right !!!!!!!!!!!! Wasn't he supposed to get the sack by last Christmas ...real wimp that Levy. Seriously? Perhaps the bloke from Boro if they don't get promoted.

Who knows who he might have obtained, each manager has his own type of player to target, in Koeman's case it's dutch league players in the main. If we'd not appointed Koeman we probably wouldn't have signed Pelle,Tadic etc but we would have signed others. Ranieri might have turned Long into a world beater...then again probably not, perhaps he wouldn't have let us waste 12 million on him though.

I might even suspect that he's engineering his own exit next May. Should have got Ranieri when we could have anyway. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/ranieri-talks-southampton-002345630.html See,he thinks we have a high level project, Koeman seems to think that it just involves spending more, perhaps he's right.

Some seem to think so, manager evidently doesn't though.

Didn't cost enough and Koeman probably didn't want him in the first place anyway. Probably wanted another dutch league goleador, keeping Elia or something similar but we didn't want to spend enough to get them.

No one knows, Koeman said he wasn't, several posters on this forum insist he was. WTF knows what's going on just now.

Sounds unlikely really, although if it is why did we sign him in the first place.

Sometimes the proof is not in what you see but in what you don't see. You didn't see Martina starting at RB last Saturday so that means he's not seen as being "as good as" Yoshida, thus you've gotta know that he's not great.

Is he not saying here when speaking of not being a "project" manager "don't p*ss me off with your youth schemes because I'm just not interested in any of that? I think he is and some of us old fools have been telling you all that for a while now.
