Well said... And our players are no longer being coached by the right management. If the first team management can’t coach then it will filter through to the rest of the club. IMHO Davis and Jaidi don’t cut it and probably the rest of them too. Would not surprise me if we have a gambling or drinking culture somewhere?

Nice comments and trust me Hughes is a stubborn old bastard alright. Ive read the Joey Barton book and he hates him so bad, never come across a more stubborn person in my life he said. Probably why some of players are not getting game time and that’s probably because they loosen the salt lid once in the staff canteen.

The young kids at Liverpool and Spurs have been coached to become better players. Thats the breakdown as our guys are not being coached and are becoming average squad players because of it. I’m telling you that Targett, McQueen and Gallagher would feature in the current Liverpool and Spurs team if they had at least two years under a decent coaching team.

Pottychino and Klippity would of put them in as they know how to bring kids into a team. Thats something we used to do years ago.

The team is lacking fitness. Remember I said it won’t take Ings long to start becoming sluggish.

I’ve seen one win in 17 games. Thats bullshi.te and yet I still go as I think a bloody miracle is going to happen.

None...! He’s so off form right now like Kane. It’s Firmino and Mane who will share the goals today.

I’ve also heard that we’ve asked Liverpool if we can bring the team coach onto the pitch too. Knowing us we would park it in front of the wrong goal.

Love it.... But can you change it to. We’ll win some, we’ll lose some, we’ll draw sh.ite loads.

Exactly. It will change nothing getting rid of Hughes as the board and owners will carry on making mistakes.

You are kidding me? I would have no idea if I attended that one as the defeats don’t stick in my mind.

I find it strange that we spoke to Tuchel and then we employed the crap we did.

Yes I do. Confidence and coaching is the two things a great manager provides. Koeman got good things from average players.

Otherwise known as ‘Park the bus.’ I think the last time we did this we got hammered by Spurs?

I collected every programme and probably most ticket stubs too. Got them all in my Dads attic in a large suitcase. If this is the 8-2 game then I attended it Will plan to take a look when I pop down there next.

Great written piece and spot on. Problem is you can’t sell the average ones if nobody wants them? Forster is a fine example as nobody would touch him with a barge pole.

Watching Tadic captaining Ajax this evening in the champions league and it got me thinking. Why do players underperform for us? VVD in his last season was nothing like he is for Liverpool, Mane is in the same bracket. Lemina is going to be class when he leaves and I reckon JWP would become a England regular if he went to Spurs. My message is our club is stale from the owners, directors and managers and I would love an overhaul.

Ha ha that question will have to wait

Spot on....!!

If you answer the question properly then you set the next question and so on. Anyone can google an answer so try not to take that route. Which player joined Southampton from Sunderland to make-way for Kenwyne Jones moving in the other direction?

Thats shocking....!! I can’t even remember the game but then most of us can’t either because we are unforgettable these last few seasons.

When was the last time a top team tonked us? Only one I remember is Spurs at Wembley. I think teams relax against us as they want to save energy for the next game.

And 34 of those goals against came between the 87+ time which to me suggests they are not physically fit to last 90 minutes.

We will play well in spells and everyone will have hope. Then Liverpool will step up a gear or two and do just enough to win 2 nil.

Let’s remember our last three league wins. Bournemouth - Injury time save for a shot dipping into the corner. Swansea - Miracle save by McCarthy almost in injury time Ashe just turned it over. Palace - Just before Hojberg scores he saved point blank to save us. Our team really does panic and if it was not for McCarthy we would be winless in the last 16 odd games. Thats pretty crap!!
