  1. is that the centre back totally owned and bullied by Calvert Lewin. Who rolled on the floor as he has a hand in his face. Razor Ruddock hes not
  2. do you think Reed was good then? I personally think he was self serving and can only be for the club that he is gone.
  3. A multi millionaire who doesn't need to get hurt or even win games. Hunger gone and it is far too easy for him, especially with nobody pushing him. He gets into some great positions but rarely finds the right ball, becoming lax in his defending duties as well.
  4. If the shoe had been on the other foot with those last 2 chances and we were 1 up at least one of them would have been taken. Salisu promising, but I found i pathetic how a big brawny centre back lies on the floor after his duals with Calvert Lewin. Lewin was wallowing i it and Salisu was petrified. If he doesnt toughen up he will fall away. Having centre halves more worried about a pretty hair style never has cut it with me.
  5. You are a fool if you really believe this!!!
  6. I was against Macca being dropped but Forster was a different keeper to when he last played for us. He commanded his area taking crosses. He did nothing for him to lose his place IMO
  7. He is one of my favourite players and have felt he has been treated badly by fans. Last night though I felt for his own good he should be taken out of the firing line. He has the skill to beat players and frustrates me that he doesnt do it. Im not sure if he is following Ralphs instructions and that is holding him back. Anyway, it is tie he was taken out of the spotlight. Bertrand gets away with a lot, the amount of times he has good crossing opportunities and wastes them.I wonder how many assists he has.
  8. Thanks,That's a shame, also that we didnt get him to pen a contract
  9. On I think it was on Total saintspodcast this week, either Steve or Glenn correctly said that if a free kicjk is awarded for a professional foul where the opposition is then allowed to set up again, it would seem fair that the teamed fouled should get the chance for a quick free kick. To me that is fair as the perpetrator is getting an advantage. We were so unlucky v Leeds for that decision, Had JWP waited a fraction of a second I expect we would have scored
  10. Really, did we let him go?
  11. Puel team at times played some attractive football. I was fully behind him and sorry he left. I think Im right in saying that he lost the majority of the goals from the previous season as Mane and Pelle left. It seems in just 6 weeks or so Ralph who had very little criticism all of a sudden has now a torrent. Perhaps the power of social media and people stuuck at home being bored is starting to set in. Not sure where we go from here
  12. I suggest comparing Pep's squad to our situation is a tad far fetched as his resources are better than anyone elses. I agree that we have been found out, but that was the case under Poch. Halfway through the season players are shattered and need a rest. Diagonal cross field balls completely take us out of the game, but again this was pointed out under Poch. Personally I think Wolves play it the right way, conserve your energy in the first half and then use it in the 2nd, hence their amazing run of results due to 2nd half performances. We also need the players to be coached how to play simple balls, the amount of times we look tidy and then just give a easy pass straight to the opposition. Armstrong beats 2 or 3 players gets to where it really counts and then passes straight to a defender, it really does annoy
  13. Minamino is Mr Invisible. Yes he has scored 2 decent goals I give you that, but at present he is hardly an answer to what we need.
  14. you could see in Mariners face that he realised he had made a mistake. Sadly Leeds TV (Sky ) sided with him. The Leeds player pundit was keen to say he was right and SOURness backed him up.v I had to turn the volume down as the commentators were getting right on my nerves
  15. I will give you some slack as you seem to be of old age but if you have been following Saints ( although are you not an Arsenal fan?)a long time you should know the folly of changing managers on our budget. Chris 'watching paint dry' Hughton FFS I despair
  16. The club would need to be torn up and start again as we are the Ralph experiment. The whole club is geared to his ideas. It would be mad to let him go, Im fully behind him but I do feel we were reckless allowing full backs and midfielders to go out on loan with no backup. Ok they may not be Ralph's men but they could well have filled in to stop having to play Moussa as a midfielder trying to fil Romeu s boots or at full back. Crazy.
  17. Peter Shilton or Niemi wouldnt have got a game in your world then
  18. totally unfair and a bad judgement
  19. I think you are correct CB, the point yesterday must have steadied the ship.
  20. CB, I do hope your'e not a GP with your bedside manner lol
  21. well if they are as good workmen as football judges I suggest you ought to tell them to go now, lol
  22. Depressing thought but nailed on correct
  23. I think my attitude is being affected by the current malaise of our PL results of course
  24. Sadly this is to the point as much as it hurts. The pointless support of our club is a bit futile really. Ive had enough of the decades of week ends being ruined, not wanting to even watch us as I get so wound up during and after. Football generally has lost its way and as many had suggested VAR has deadened the thrill of scoring as you have to wait for it to be assessed. There are just as many if not more contentious decisions now and as there is a human with their own prejudices making the final decision it is still a poor system. I was in charge of the VAR against Pompey or Liverpool etc you can still make the 50-50's go against a team etc etc
  25. Surely we should play Ramsey there , he is the next in line and if he isn't good enough why are we paying him to be in the squad. To play Moussa there is a nonsense IMO
