Batman

just watched his Boro presser....reckon he knows he is on borrowed time

i wonder if gabbi will regress further? anyway, Puel's presser for the big clash against Boro... No new injuries after the arsenal game we will see how the recovery has gone, but this is the 3rd game of the week this is the 3rd game in the week and we have played this many games before but it is difficult to play 3 games in a week at the end of the season They will have a full weeks rest They have a good balance and they are physically fit it is a tough game to prepare for, they now play with no pressure we have to have good concentration and is a very important game for us we must have a good result against boro to set us up for 2 home games we want a good finish to finish top half of the table which is very important for us we must improve the squad to cope with 3 games in a week I was disappointed after the game, we wanted a good result against them we have put in place the basics as this style is our philosophy we just need more consistency, we try to finish this season well we have played well this season and lots of good work from training has gone on the pitch just frustrating at times we need to win more games, we have more quality and have to win more than we have improvement is needed around the box the season is not finished, so I cannot speak about the season as a whole it is now a 3 game season, we need to be better and finish well the players have improved this season and we validated with our philosophy it is a shame we have not scored more, we have more quality than what is shown we play well as we did last night but we could not validate that with the result we wanted we work hard to improve our squad again, it is a 3 game season and it is very important we finish well and be as strong as possible after the season, it will be time to speak about other things we have to finish top half of the table we were strong in the cup final and now we have to be clear what we want for next season we will talk about that after the season we are professional and we will try to finish strong against Hull, it was not enough all of the games after the cup final, we have played well but not scored enough the attitude of the players has been fantastic but we must finish strongly, the players deserve it What we do is a collective work and we define southampton all the way down to the academy they try to keep good possession and it is more than one game for them also many many of our games we have shown quality and great memories the cup final, liverpool in the cups, Inter Milan we do not concede many goals just do not score and this must improve, we need a better clinical edge in the 2nd half of the season, Yoshida, Stephens have improved and that has been fantastic. They were not starting players it will be interesting to see how other young players progress but we are all frustrated with the results it has been difficult for Boufal this season joined with an injury and injured again in the winter he needs to improve, he is a talented player he can do different things he is learning good structure and discipline and has a good attitude in the last month he has had good game time with the team it has been his 1st season and he has learned a lot he will be fantastic next season he highlights the strong finish required, top half finish and 3 game season? also, about talking after the season about 'other things' and did not comment too much (when asked) about his thoughts on what he will do next season also, happy with the philosophy we now have!!!

reckon we will win. 0-2 to us

this is better. have no idea if made up journo bollix but makes me happy about the club

just shows what a terrible job the manager is doing to need a whole new team

Thank god we rotated heavily in the autumn/winter (and gave up the Europa League) so we would have a strong end to the season. in all seriousness, I very much worry about this awful momentum going into next season. Puel on Arsenal Loss........ it is a big disappointment as we showed good quality with many chances to score this is a difficult result to accept this was not a 2-0 game, it was not possible to lose this game by that margin we played well and showed our qualities we need to find a good clinical edge it was very interesting to see the team with fantastic work just 3 days after a great result at Liverpool The players need to find the solution to make the difference to score it was the same against a top 6 side, we were fantastic but failed to take our chances 4 or 5 players had good possibilities to score this is a very difficult result to accept not sure if we are unlucky at the moment but we need to improve going forwards we will see what we do at Middlesbrough they played a good game against sunderland and this will be a difficult game they have had more rest than us where we will have our 3rd game in the week we will rotate for this one to keep us fresh he is approaching the Harry Redknapp level of tosh spoken about a team

Depends how much they will want to take him

Just cannot see why on earth the club would stick with this idiot

Arsenal were totally average tonight. Didn't have to try and comfortably beat us

What makes it worse. Arsenal could be below average and still get a 2 goal win Just so poor Tadic, long, redmond, boufal, Rodriguez, Gabbiadini and we muster just 2 shots on target in 2 Fecking games

Best in the league mate

What more can puel do. All out best players are still out injured. Gabbiadini is another, like boufal, Hoj who have come in for big money and regressing big time under this clown of a manager

Another half of football without testing the oppo keeper

Yoshida again Another crap showing from a puel side

how many more players do we need to buy for goals. our 2 record signings are forward players and here today

why are we crossing the ball to 1 player in the box surrounded by 4 defenders.

he has been easily beaten a few times and was just before the replays that meant everyone stood off...... Stephens bails him out a few times anyway, game over. We offer absolutely nothing up front.

crap by yoshida game over, we have hardly troubled Cech

we are heading to Gabby sub time!!!

davis lol

offered nothing so far. would like to see Hoj on in his place

Decent half there nothing special overall. Good in defence pretty crap going forward again Stephens, Rom, Remond (at times) good. Tadic crap IMO arsenal have to win this and they have been poor.

that was so obvious from tadic, could see that from here. Good yellow from JwP. No choice

GABIADINNI HAS A SHOT!!!!! good save

back to plodding it about so poor as an attacking threat again
