I would settle for a draw. palace are a threat away from home and we’ve been pants at St Mary’s.

Agreed. The last match on Amazon (Norwich) was fantastic and was very neutral. Both Hasenhuttl and Farke had post match pitchside interviews. I’ve been impressed with Amazon’s output.

Point it is then.

There’s a good article here, based on an interview with Allegri. You’ll need to translate. https://www.alfredopedulla.com/allegri-ai-calciatori-bisogna-guardare-le-gambe-sono-come-i-cavalli-tattica-e-schemi-tutte-p-te/ Essentially some players are just too confused by tactics. Most will respond to general instructions and thrive but some of the time over complicated tactics will just result in poor performances and failure. Is this what’s happening at Saints right now? We’ve had three managers in a row with a different set of attitudes and tactics towards the game. Maybe it’s no surprise our least hands on manager tactically has been our best in the past decade (Koeman).

I really want Ralph to turn it around but every performance this season has been laborious. We look disjointed, disinterested and unfit. The wins have been lucky. Watching Southampton right now is not an enjoyable experience. I think he needs to go.

Ancelotti on his way.

Not quite as bad as Saints 2008 but this is one of the worst ever Saints sides, surely?

Down

Harlee Dean also scored for Birmingham. We're screwed.

Read Chapel End Charlie’s posts on the front page. He had this election result nailed on four years ago.

On a thread about someone's death. Stay classy, instant classy.

Insignificance*

Will we ever say “shame about his Portsmouth connection” when talking about the likes of Channon, Stokes, Golac? It’s ridiculous - rivalry pales into significance.

There are certain players Saints just cannot play against, regardless of who’s in the team. Andy Carroll is one of them. Lukaku is another. Previously it was Dion Dublin and Tomas Radzinski. I just don’t get it. It’s utterly predictable. Carroll changed the game when he came on and we all knew he would.

I get no enjoyment watching this team. Even when we’ve got the lead, I know they will bottle it.

No, it’s The La’s

That stat should’ve been the thread’s title.

Me too. Crazy second half. I remember Gazza getting some stick (and giving it back) at the end.

Redmond has no end product. He’s lost all confidence and is in two minds over what to do with the ball.

Who thinks we’ll be adding Lallana to this list in May?

Bump

What could be happening right now? Based on what? Twitter garbage? Red Bull is never going to buy us.

WTF - I was replying on a different thread

Clubs need to evolve. In our current state, we are in free fall. I don’t think the RB link is true but I’d be open to it. I fear for the club if it’s relegated under Gao.
