i would agree, ironically the way RH wants them to play would suit Long....probably not as a goal scorer but certainly in terms of pressing and intensity

This all day long. I hate it when some clever ass looks up and says its the fans fault, there's no atmosphere blah blah blah. Bull**** ! They should think themselves lucky the fans haven't turned on them.

Nobody likes it when a new manager comes in and makes you work hard. I have absolutely no sympathy for any of them having sat through a ton of ****e for the past two plus years.

This is how bad it is - Stephens is proving very popular. Not bad for a player whose two main flaws are that he can’t head a ball and his positional play is crap. He looks good on the ball however. I’m desperately hoping that RH will bring the best out of two of the five clowns we employ but as to who they would be is anyone’s guess.

i think you’ve answered your own question. It’s because of the megastore and the fact home fans would be milling around there both before and after kick off. I think if the megastore wasn’t there it would be the obvious choice of where to put them but I’m pretty sure that will be the reason against.

Frighteningly bad..... BUT you are being generous because the downhill trend started just after the League Cup Final the season before. We beat Watford away well but apart from that it was pretty bloody awful.

none of the cb’s are any good though. It’s a case of roll the dice and see how it goes I guess.

Could be his 4-2-2-2 formation there.

I feel exactly the same - start earning your money you pampered ****ers - 5 wins in 46 games

Not defending him, just pointing out how your stat to beat him with is very flawed

look at his career record and you might just find that actually he is. And your stat to back it up is ******** considering he missed about half of the previous two seasons. How many of our other strikers gave scored more than 15 in three years btw ?

You must be mistaken, when Hughes didn’t play him there were all sorts of conspiracy theories as to why not given he was apparently a world class defender. Him being as **** as are other centre backs wasn’t one of those theories.

Ralph to Ralph - “now this blonde lad is our dead ball specialist, just watch” Ralph H - are you serious ?

I liked the old “they’ve got Whittingham, we’ve got Pochettino, Pochettino, etc Jacket and Hasenhuttl fit that

Yeah I’m far from being a fan of Redmond but don’t criticise the player on the odd occasion that he does actually contribute something useful.

Says he likes using quick and agile players........hope hes got a Plan B

I wonder how old klippity klopp would have felt had another manager done that against his side ? He has no class at all. Run on at the end, yeah ok, BUT during a game? ****

Hoedt, Stephens, Vestergaard, Yoshida all have one thing in common - they are all extremely average.....I mean ****e ! Perhaps people will now see that Hoedt isn’t really any worse than the others.... at least unlike the big Danish oil tanker he can recover and run back.....does **** all but at least makes the effort !

This all day long......perhaps those that think Puel was wonderful need think about this !

I think if we get relegated Marian would be worth a punt.

Eight years ago ! And his win rate even there was better than Hughes has here

This.

I’m finding it very difficult to have any interest in Saints at the moment. Hopefully tonight the team can change that for me a bit....

And Romeu - is he injured ?

no, get the wording right. Its deep roster not bloated squad !
