you are right, as usual, Poch is no Claude Puel ! No Sir

yep I thought that when he zipped that cross field pass to absolutely nobody and then looked for someone to blame. He has pace. After that I’m struggling to think of positives.

Players not as good as they think they are. Manager, like the last one, who likes to keep things tight and not concede and is reluctant to be proactive rather than reactive. A board who will not spend big and take any speculate to accumulate risks (which I can understand given their business plan) Its a dangerous combination and unfortunately it was always going to come to a head sooner or later. And we are there now.

No wonder he’s the blue eyed boy with Les and co. He can’t really believe any of that can he ?

and he immediately points and tells whoever will listen that Cedric should have read the pass

Tadic staying on.....bloody hell this manager is as clueless as the last one

yeah, funny that eh ?

the fear for me is that the manager does !

Not surprised, has done nothing to warrant being dropped for Mr Wantaway. Having said that he must know that VVD's time here is limited although I would still have Hoedt and VVD as my centre back partnership and that is with no disrespect to Yoshida.

Indeed. Back for Everton match then, or hopefully Liverpool the week before.

**** me my mind went right back to Saints leading Everton 2-1 the year we went down and Peter Crouch doing the very same thing

Step forward JWP with one of those screamers of a free kick he manages so often in training and for the U23s !

They always put these bout things on players with ankle injuries. It’s what Nigel Adkins used to call “shutting down the player”

Les got him a decent striker last January when we signed Gabbiadini. He scored goals as you will recall until, in his words, "the manager changed things when i came back from injury and it was much tougher".....or words to that effect.

Some ****in **** on Sky Sports (Taggart) trying to justify the appointment with the statement “well look where Southampton are since sacking him” umm yeah, 10th and one point behind the mighty Liverpool you ***** !

home 13 December

So have I got it right ? This group of dicks go around Southampton breaking into places that they shouldn’t to do very little except escape - a thrill of the chase type thing ?

"The place is locked down" (about 7 mins 30 secs in) No ****, its 4 in the morning ffs of course its locked down !!

I’m convinced MP will not start with Boufal.

wish they would stick that video montage on their You Tube channel - its fantastic

thats true, not so sure Erwin was doing cartwheels about leaving either.

Normally I would agree but for a man who desperately wanted a top job be it Arsenal, Barcelona or Holland this has seriously ****ed all over that ambition so I suspect he does give a ****

I agree but what I think it is with Redmond as opposed to Long is his whole demeanour. He always, and I mean always, looks to blame someone else when he makes an error. To me he always gives the impression of thinking he’s better than he actually is. Now whether that was cultivated by Puel who thought he was Henry Mk 2 I don’t know but that’s my theory

If they think signing VVD will solve their issues they are in for a shock. They need a keeper, a full back or two and that midfield sorted. It might help if they had a coach who knew something about defending as well. On the plus side today probably put his price up a few million more such is their desperation.

i hope they get two or three more tbh
