A team that will survive is one that can win ugly or at least know that a draw away is a great result,
We can't even do that.
What worries me is our leaky defence can't defend on the one goal a game we score.
Signaling the bench straight away without running it off is a weak sign.
Virgil battled to the very end until he could not physically carry on.
Different breed of fish the two of them.
Thought our new Italian striker was good.
Looked for space, intelligent on the last line of defence plus he follows up any scraps from a shot.
Give it 3 weeks and he will become lame, slow and his confidence will be shot to ****.
Over to you Puel.
We take so long to negotiate for new managers or players.
Need to swallow your pride Reed and get rid of Puel now.
Take the three weeks to get a good manager in so we can start in March by getting us moving forward again.
Been great for the club as he has given us premiership stability.
It's now stalemate as he can't take us forward any further.
His model of selling our best players and bringing in average players is starting to show.
I totally understand your comments and it could very much be true.
The thing I dont get is we are hearing about four failed attempts to bring a CB in on the last day which suggests they too are not happy.
I think it's Italian bullying tactics to say you need to stump up the cash otherwise you are not having him.
Just wish we had a second option to tell them they can shove it up yer arse.
Saints hope to wrap up the deal for the Italian striker according to sky sports just now.
13.4m up front riding to 17m on goals scored.
Has agreed personal terms already.
I think Saints will need to get two CB deals over the line before it's announced that VVD is out for 3 months.
Ching, Ching springs to mind when Saints come calling in desperation.
