The bottom line i suppose is if we had this home record yet we were losing matches 3-2 or 4-3 and everyone was going home entertained then 8-10th, a cup final and some bloody good football would be more than enough to save/keep his job. Its the boring football, the questionable selections and sheer **** poor substitutions during a match that will do for him if he goes.....unless the player unrest thing is true in which case there really is no other choice.

Good shout, I think that is correct.

especially given its a first in our history I agree.

Excellent summing up of the problems we have. Glad you mentioned it because I'm sick to the back teeth of Redmond in particular screwing up then turning round and moaning at someone else !

think Mourinhio would spontaneously combust if that happened

Moral of the story - footballers should not support their friends and fellow countrymen on Social Media cos some **** head pours over their tweets looking for dubious links regarding transfers

What channel is a pundit on now then ? Havent seen him on MOTD for it seems like years and he isnt on Sky. Has he joined the Liverpool love in on BT ?

Alan McLaughlin - he was effin abysmal

well that's just mental yeah !

its about time JayRod told his family to shut the **** up on twitter, it's not doing him any favours and won't wherever he ends up !

The annoying thing is the Club have ditched their own marketing ploy of The Southampton Way. People have recognised that as being a team that plays a high intensity pressing game since our return to the Premier League. That has been dismantled in one season by this manager and now we are playing like, yeah as mentioned, a WBA.

No service to him whatsoever. I'm sure playing in Italy he is well used to the lone striker role but it only works if someone gets the ball to him. I doubt Puel would do the unthinkable and play someone up front with him just to see if it works out.

of course he did utter crap. I dont dispute there is a possibility of him ending up at Chelsea but this situation ? really ?

Hope you are right about VVD but I got an email from Ron last year when I renewed my season ticket and that didn't work out too well

Well it will go up, no doubt about it. Would be nice if the board hold their nerve and do as they did with Morgan, we benefit two ways then, another year of VVD and an even bigger transfer fee.

oh don't even go there, Niall Quinn is a whole different ball game altogether, he runs with the horse and the hounds and tales total ********.

The most amusing thing was Jamie Carragher co-commentating on the match. You could just hear him getting more and more agitated and desperate as the seconds ticked away without a Mane less Liverpool scoring. Mind you it was good of him a few weeks ago to tell everyone the best way to play against Liverpool for those who hadn't worked it out already

This team selection is my issue with Puel. Boufal and Tadic have done very little to warrant their places of late. Redmond, in the League Cup semi final at Anfield, ran Liverpool absolutely ragged yet today he's dropped to the bench. ****in clueless.

45 points, a win and a draw against Boro and Stoke, in either order. Cant see us getting anything against three top teams who still have everything to play for despite Jose playing down this "we arent going for 4th" bull.

Whoop whoop

Not the first time they have thrown away a lead late on, a two goal one at that.

never mind them, the goal Nathan Tella has scored is magnificent !

Bull**** every club sells, doesnt matter who it is, even Man Utd sold Ronaldo ffs, Liverpool sold Suarez and thats worked out well for them hasnt it ? Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle - all big clubs and all have been selling clubs to varying degrees of success or failure. Spurs will end up selling Kane and Ali at some point. Its football. We arent anything special in that regard, its how the club operates.

He played in 3 of the next 5 matches and was sub the other two.

I agree about the players seemingly taking no notice of him during matches, Ive noticed that too. Bertrand looks totally ****ed off - whether thats because of the manager or he is fed up of Redmond telling him where he should be and when he should pass all the bloody time who knows ? I have desperately tried to warm to Puel, give him the benefit of the doubt etc but one glaring sign for me that hes bloody clueless is the treatment of Clasie. Now hes not my favourtie player by a long way but he has got better from what I have seen this season. he had a great game at WBA and scored a fabulous goal. His reward? Dropped to the bench and now not even in the squad (Unless he has an injury but I havent seen that mentioned anywhere). Clasie should have played against Chelsea alongside Romeu, two players to upset their play, get tackles in early, he could even have man marked Hazard (or tried to) But instead we go with Boufal and Tadic in the same team, away to the best side in the League ? Madness. He wont change formation during a game, just the personnel. We have reverted to this slow, slow, slow cross field passing and back again.....I'm bloody sure the Cup Final showed the players playing for themselves (and us ?) but not the manager. We were excellent that day and its been repeated very very few times if any since.
