Fair play to Pompey they held their nerve and will get promoted. Eisner is playing the long game and heard some good things he does around their city.

You could say that if we hadn't a keeper who has a terrible lack of concentration problem, we may be top 2 now. Add to that a manager who imo thinks he's very smart and tinkers with the team constantly. Leeds and Ipswich dont change winning teams. The other thing that I dont see mentioned. We seem to average 70+ % possession a game and score 2-3 goals the opposition have 30% and also score 2-3 goals. What would happen if they had 70% !!!!!

He was shot, I was recalling our FA cup semi final performance against Leicester just yesterday, no masterplan there but he was frightened to take a risk.

Bristol City was the worst one, thought he was clever by adding 2 changes to the enforced 2due to injury. We were so disjointed. I doubt we will get to Wembley either as we will be shot after the run in and also deflated.

Yep but he is very partisan to Bournemouth and has a passion for them

He never really fights our corner, he is too nice when Ive seen him dissect our games on Sky.

double touch shouldnt have counted

You get everywhere MB

No doubt they are passing the message around the back and then in time will pass it to the middle management before the top man will run into the box to shoot the messenger

Sadly I dont think that will be an issue tonight!!

Wonder how much heat the ground structure is under

A lot depends if RM stops tinkering and plays the best team. IMo the rot started at Bristol City where he made 4 changes ( 2 enforced) we know from cup games that we lose all rhythm when we change too many players. Sometimes managers try to be smart, it seems to me Ipswich Leeds etc keep to their strongest team

I thought they say that being in the PL it is a land of milk and honey, it is for players and agents it seems. Not sure the clubs do so well

Just flicked on to see score. This squad would need a lot spent on it to make any hope of staying up in the PL. What a terrible time to melt down. Seems that teams are changing manager and improving just as we play them.

I saw on X that a so called Saints fan wish terminal illness on one of our players last night!! There are some right weirdos out there. I do hope anybody how follows that fan unfollows him and he has no audience

Last 2 games could be Leicester and Leeds away lol

So annoying that the commentators made out that their first goal was some sort of masterpiece, it was going to Lumley (Id prefer to Baz)before it took a massive deflection leaving us stranded. "nd half it seems to me that Klopp put an extra man into the press and we couldnt get out. Taking off Sulemana was a mistake, but realistically did we really want to have another game? I thought Bree had done ok and in hindsight playing KWP has backfired. We did ok, and I'm not listening to the noise regarding losing to kids,had we gone 1 up they would have been out of it, they did little in the first half and we played some delightful football. Wright and Keane were harsh, the comment that Jan should have made himself bigger is a nonsense, how does he make his leg bigger? Also if you shoot you have a chance, well we shot lots but didnt get the lucky deflection

Whilst we will never have a Kop that is revered by the media (it cheesed me off when they booed our national anthem, and then the commentators went quiet so we could hear them sing YNWA) it would be amazing to have an end that generates a real noise. Also putting the away fans on the sides takes their influence away to a degree. It strikes me that you may be one who thinks entertainment at a football match is flicking V's at the opposition and not look at the game, my apologies if not the case.

Wonderful man, I used to play tennis with him in a four, and would talk Saints. I was not a great fan of Frannie but he said that Franny gave everything and full of praise of him. A tough gentleman imo. Great to see so many tributes by ex players. RIP the most underrated manager in the clubs history, if he had come after Branfoot he would have been here forever but following LM was always going to be a problem

SAINTS EST 1885 RUINING WEEKENDS FOR GENERATIONS

I often wonder that we have let in 2 or 3 goals when having 75%-80% of the ball, how many will we let in if they had 80% of the ball

Was it Jan it said TBH on Sky

Just shows how our recruitment is always seems to be blind to the obvious.

I wonder if Ipswich and Leeds rotate the team like RM, apart from injuries of course

I wont be sad to see Bazunu go. How many points has his lack of concentration cost us. At least 3 goals late in away games that has cost us 6 points
