Thought he was solid and played the ball out well out of the back often starting good attacking moves for the dutch.

I'm just saying it would be counter productive from a 'Southampton' perspective ie: the club and the fans. Plus i'm more of the mentality that if someone does something bad to you, i'm not going to do the same thing to him as I am above that, that's more my culture and the way I was raised. He didn't get his move so has to deal with it and play for us, so let's make sure he performs to his best so that we can all benefit from it. Booing him is not going to help him nor the club.

Agree, if we have decided to keep him, let's make the most out of it and not boo him. Yes he has been unprofessional, but once players wear the shirt, we all want them to succeed as it means the team has the most chance to win the game, so let's get behind every single one of them (or if some can't do that, just stay quiet and not boo him)

The way Mbappe got him dancing before the 4th goal was Embarassing. Lacked pace but did alright marking Giroud for most of the game.

Don't think we'd be short upfront as we would have Long ;-)

I despair...

Do not sell Saints whatever happens. If you do, player power wins. This is about making a point. He'll come crawling back on 1st of Sept because he'll be worried about his career. And if he doesn't then, then make him rot. Please do not give in!!!!

Agree completely, stay strong Saints! If we don't set an example then someone who wants out will do exactly the same thing next summer and so on...

Krychowiak from Paris Saint Germain, surplus to requirements there and did very well at Sevilla. Would certainly beef up our midfield.

Haven t seen Eric Black on any of the videos.

Hahahaha love this. This is brilliant. We really have the best media team in the land.

30 mil would an absolute minimum for one of England's best left backs.

Surprised nobody has suggested Laurent Blanc yet. Been out of management for a year as he needed a break and had PSG playing superb offensive football. Think he would be a great fit. Maybe he is our mysterious third candidate.

Did any of you read the full article? It says he has sprained his ankle and should be back in time. What a bunch of bedwetters

Having one of the most slow paced and light weight midfield is not helping our case.

Because they don't have a clue what they are talking about. Suggesting sub standard managers like Monk and Staam is getting desperate. This hate against Puel is getting ridiculous.

Have any of you comtemplated that perhaps Puel is staying? Would be the decent and logical thing to do. What is the rush? Let s bring in the players suited to his style, ship out the deadwood (Clasie, Rodriguez, Long) and bring in a couple of skillfull pacey players and a capable finisher suited to Puel's style. Guarrented that next season you will all be creaming yourselves. This manager hate is getting ridiculous. Chill out and enjoy the summer.

Puel out if Emery becomes available. Heard it first here.

Are you joking? You must be a new supporter then because I can think of worse games than that. That or you are taking the ****

This is what i've been saying all along. We don't have the players to play the system and the players are taking time to adapt. Let s back Puel in the transfer market, ship out the deadwood and go again. The style is attractive in the build up let s just make sure we have the right midfield/forward players to create the chances, we need pace, skill and good finishing. Oh and let s get Claude some english lessons too.

Thought Targett had a very good game against Man U. Great running down the flank and defended well. After so long out he was bang on the money. Think there is a solid PL in there.

Problem is he doesn't take any lessons. Said he has no time for that and will learn english as he goes along. Maybe the club needs to impose him this. If you listen to him in interviews in french, it is worlds apart from what he is saying in englidh as he hasn t got the grasp of the english vocabulary.

Grossely incorrect. I suspose you are an advocate of the good old hoofball and rely on opposing defenses making mistakes. Great entertaibement value. We are playing the right way along the ground which is very european. I get it most of you haven't bedn educated with that type of football. Had we been able to put a few more in the net, you would all be creaming yourselves saying this is beautiful football. Final ball has been lacking all season ultimately this is the offensive players responsibility making the correct decision at the right time + we need a few more in the box. Our construction play and the way we setup defensively is perfectly sound.

Think fans have been spoilt over the last 3 seasons. Unless we manage to keep our best players we are bound to have ups and down. Did you think it would be that easy to replace Mane, Pelle and wanyama? Yes we have replaced them but you can t expect them to hit the ground running straightaway. Nice finished 17th one season and then 4th the next because he was building the team, it takes time to gel. Plus Mane was a freak, he scored goals and allowed his team mates to score by opening space for them. He was one of the main reasons long was into double figures He is a world class player and Take him out of last years team and i m not sure we would have done that much better.
