What do you expect considering who Hughes brought with him as backroom staff?

Hughes has to go really. We might be playing the best team in the country, and one of the best in Europe, but we're rabbits in headlights. No passion. Nothing.

Booze takes about 12 hours to leave your system.

Here's the goal https://streamja.com/zeyM Tap in lol

Happy birthday Sparky!

We are down then.

Basically - yeah. The squad is strong on paper. Easily mid-table. I always consider this. Football may have progressed in 6 years but both Adkins and Poch got results with a very PL inexperienced and weaker squad than the team we have now. Why were they able to get goals out of Lambert (who’d never played PL) before? Why did Puncheon look good when, again, he’d never played top flight? Loads more examples. Our players are decent but they have no confidence, no passion, no team ethic. They’re not together as one. The rot set after Koeman went and we appointed the fractious Puel, and the club’s not recovered. Hughes is meant to be a motivator, an improver, a mentor - none of that comes across. None of these players want to play for him. I like Hughes, I want to give him a chance and I was confident we’d be fine. But not scoring against the worst side in the league at home is the final straw. I can’t see it getting any better and we’re just a month away from December.

Puel is safe.

If true, the board made an almighty f*** up getting Hughes in when the club is always boasting the Southampton Way of blooding youngsters. Surely they knew what he was about and his reluctance to give youth a chance? This club is a disaster.

When you look back at our previous summer recruits since returning to the Premier League, I’d say these are all average signings.

Wtf is Bombey?

Does anyone believe Hughes can turn this around?

Meh - we were lucky there.

How many more late collapses can there be? How have Hughes or the players NOT addressed this?

I miss Boruc and the team that smashed Fulham away in 2014.

Screams of Villa before relegation.

Wow - I thought we’d be comfortable under Hughes. We are Championship.

Wow - I thought we’d be comfortable under Hughes. We are Championship.

Apparently he’s now twice met with Abramovich - looks like it’s seriousky on But I wouldn’t expect him to be a sugar daddy like Roman was at the beginning. He wants a profit, which he will no doubt get.

lol

Salah scored in both games last season. I’ll say he will score 2.

Sick

Silva still proving he's overrated. I think we'll be more than OK this season.

So cringe.

Your thread title is cringe.
