Baird of the land

I think he's been incredibly lucky to have got the points he has got this season. Sending off versus brighton whilst we were being played off the park & then scraping a win against sheff utd when they found ways not to score. I don't think its crazy to think maybe we could have a manager who plays a right back at right back. Who doesn't set his team up to defend at home to a team one place above them. Who doesn't sit on his hands whilst the opposition manager makes changes to win the game.

Hopefully you are right. Needs to go pronto

Any manager who looks at a squad with 2 right backs and goes i'm going to pick a centre mid there deserves to be unemployed. Sack him now whilst its international break. Get in Adkins(experienced successful championship manager), plan on being in the championship & rebuilding from there(anything else is a bonus)

Poll time surely.

He’s got to be sacked. That was bad on a Pelegríno scale. So now we aren’t playing fullbacks even when we have them. We spend most of the game cowering in our own box. Ralph scratches his arse whilst Silva makes changes to win the game. Positive. Boufal, djenepo. Ings for his poaching.

If a player goes down holding their head they should have to go off the pitch for a 5 minute assessment whilst the game goes on.

Sack the useless idiot. Standing around doing nothing whilst they make changes to try and win it

Feel sorry for ings. Getting zero support due to ralph’s Appalling negativity.

Get Adkins. At least he is a proven championship manager(if worst happens)

No shots at home to a poor Everton team. Get lost Ralph with that negative rubbish.

Sack Ralph and get Adkins in. At least we’d try and play not cower in our box against a poor Everton team

He’s got to shift to a 4 at the back and give us more ability to get hold of the ball. This is suicidal

seems Ralph wasn’t lying when he thought saints played a balanced approach against city. To anyone else it is everyone behind the ball defending though which is 3mbarassing against a vulnerable Everton team

Apparently everton are bad at set pieces lol

Amusing watching Tories stumble from scandal to scandal.

Everton: 0 (Soft Saints roll over for Gomes) Arsenal - 0 (xhaka scores winner to redeem himself) Watford 1 point (scrappy ugly draw) Norwich 1 points (entertaining high scoring draw) Newcastle 3 points (Our counter attacking away form to the rescue again)

After listening to 5live i was expecting the Everton penalty appeal to be some burning injustice. It wasn't it. Accidental defensive handball hasn't generally been treated as penalties this season. So VAR understandably didn't award a penalty. Need to get rid of VAR though. Delays the game and idiots will try and force its use as a subjective inconsitent rereffing tool. I don't agree with the reasoning for the Son red. Looking at the result of the tackle to decide to upgrade the card is wrong imo. I wouldn't have minded it being a red because it was a nasty revenge hack.

Ahh so we are sticking by ralph despite poor results but youth coach who got u23 promoted is moved on based on a bad start in the division above.

Not sure why we’d want to get rid of him.

Players gave it their best shot. The manager needs to work out that there isn't a rule that Saints can't make a sub before the 75 minute.

Terrific display from the players. pep and co really made me hate Qatar city even more. Hope they never win the champions league and scummy liverpool beat them to the league. Once again i'm completely bemused at Ralph's refusal to make changes though. We should have had fresh legs on before they scored.

Odd I thought hojberg’s been good out of position. Thought Valery has been standing off more.

Finally mane getting a booking for his horrible diving

Eating my hat. Some very good intensity. Jwp lovely gambling on 2nd ball. Still don’t like how much time we are giving them on their left to get balls in. Still expect city to win but at least we are making them work for it and giving them issues on the break.

It’s always fun to see utd lose
