this. He must have thought “what the **** am I doing out here on the left while that midfield **** is filling my spot”.......oh sorry that’s what I was thinking If Valery had been right back and RH asked Cedric to fill left back cos there was nobody else then fair enough but to play two people out of position in a **** defence when only one was needed is just crazy.

yes and both Branfoot and Pardew got us to cup finals

first game in six weeks and out of position, not entirely his fault.

I don’t rate Jack Stephens in the slightest. Today he was one of our best players. That’s how fkin bad it was. I too join the ranks of people hating this bunch of spineless, clueless excuses for footballers. When you go into a game with JWP as one of your two central midfielders you know you are in the ****. Fraud of a footballer but he’s not alone in amongst this shower of ****e.

A secondment what a load of bloody crap. If the club thought he was any good he wouldn’t be skulking off to some third rate US team.

Whilst i dont think Gao is right for our club and it would be better if he sold up what in truth has he done wrong ? We spent what ? £45 million this summer on attacking players when anyone with a modicum of sense could see the defence needed sorting. Thats not Gao's fault. Similarly money was made available and spent last summer and indeed the January before it. Its not his fault it was spent on crap ! He was handed a poison chalice by Kat who made it worse by saying the move was to take the club to the next level. He's never said anything about taking the club on to challenge the top six has he ? He's getting a bad deal out of this......not that i trust him mind you, but as i say money has been made available so what more could he do ?

If he is being replaced going by the Danny Rohl news delay we will know by February

funny you should say that, when they focused on him at the start my initial thought was how old and unwell he looked.

yes he lives just down the road from Sandbanks in Poole, not too far from Souness.

Stephens and JWP both playing, that’s all I need to know

That’s Stephens staying in the side then

Boufal taken off for having the audacity to have a shot ! The bastard

we have defensive coaching ???

Did Ralph pick him in order to win a bet? Among our totally inept 5 central defenders he is the worst by a long way.

I know Jimmy Case is in his sixties now but **** me he would still **** all over our current midfield. JWP is a fraud of a footballer living off of this fabled dead ball delivery skill that every pundit in the world seems quite happy to perpetuate. He trots around like a bloody ponce.

This is Ralph’s vision, he wanted a small squad to work with and he’s got it so why do so many of you expect wholesale changes?

well 2, I’m not counting Valery and Stephens

I dont disagree and im not being funny but who else is there ? Slattery ? Dont think so !

exactly. Should have been a weeks wages, they wouldnt miss it and they could have split it between four or five charitites inc the Foundation.

yeah please name them. This talk has been going on since Puel so who’s still there ? Bertrand, Redmond, Yoshida, Cedric, Long, Romeu, Hjoberg and Davis on the coaching staff. I can’t see it being Yoshida, Romeu or Long....

Does she still go ? If so I really hope she was there Friday night

The Krueger bit is interesting. I wonder why they got rid all of a sudden? Was he questioning things they wanted to do, or not do mores the point ? Im still not getting what Gao is getting from owning this club. If its to get a foothold into the city of Southampton there must be easier/cheaper ways to do it ?

Why do so many want Vokins to make his debut away to City? Seriously? Look how Danso has had the confidence ripped out of him. Now some of you want to do it to another kid? Ffs. Let the ****s that played, sorry, were on the pitch Friday night take it on the chin.

Give me strength Lee Todd, Scott Marshall, Stuart Ripley to name but three of his great signings !

The manager wanted a small squad to work with. Well he’s got it. Problem is it’s a small squad with limited ability. Take the full backs, if Cedric is out for another week and with Bertrand suspended who the **** plays right and left back next week? Not Valery after last night surely? But who else is there ?
