Need someone up top with height and the ability to hold up the ball and play in Gabba.

Because Tadic as a number 10 I a waste of time....

Where is the faith? 3-1 Saints

The problem is we do not have anyone in midfield who is intelligent enough to play to Gabbaiadinis strengths... You need somebody behind him to feed him through with through balls. Stick Boufal as a number 10....... Get Austin up top alongside Gabba. Tadic as a left winger and get Redmond on the right wing.. Not rocket science is it? Why are we playing players out of postion? Any old numpty can see the team is setup wrong...

We are a average mid table team.... Unless funds are spent on players capable of scoring / creating chances we will continue to be so. Doesn't matter who is managing our squad isn't as good as deluded saints fans think. Without a clear out and injection of quality it will be the same old story. I wouid give Pellegrino a chance. He should be bold drop half of the dross and play the youth players maybe we can develop and unearth some talent.

Been saying it for weeks we have gone backwards. This manager is clueless we will be in a relegation battle of we do not clear out the manager and dross in squad.....

It's one colossal f##k up after the other.... Failing to replace quality players i.e Mane, Wanyama.... Instead we have got in cheap players who haven't quite made it with potential.... We need players that can hit the ground running and actually have a record of doing something productive in premiership players. Our coaching staff have dropped in quality.... Hiring a manager who clearly is out of depth playing negative tactics...... Pull the plug now! Get somebody in with passion and the ability to build team spirit and give him some money to buy and clear out the average dross that is filling up our squad.....

difficult to come by? Hakim Ziyech son put the reddies on the table

Austin Out, Van D Out, In Ziyech Bas Dost Job Done

Our attack is the problem it isn't rocket science is it? We have talent up top in the form of Gabbiadini who currently we know has the ability to put the ball in the net, The issue is he has nobody capable of linking up and putting in a defense splitting ball to get on the end of. He must be really frustrated you watch him in recent games and he is doing the right thing by making clever runs but is becoming isolated because nobody has to the tools or capabilities to play to the strengths of him. You look at our midfield and we have players who are to similar who play cautious defensive football. What we need is a Lallana type who has the natural flair and creativity. Him and Mane were not replaced adequately sure we have Boufal yes he has the potential and can change a game but he is still learning the trade and is currently to inconsistent. Now alot of people keep banging on about Ziyech but if you think about it logically he is exactly the final piece of the jigsaw this squad is missing the creative outlet. Stick £35 million down and go get him! that would be a proper Mane replacement. Would he ever come to Saints though?

Not replacing Mane, Wanyama, Pelle adequately has cost us. We have got in players such as Redmond who quite frankly might have potential but how long will it take for the talent to surface if it even does? It might be better to scrap this transfer model or minimize it and say bring in one or two players with potential / future players. Then focus more on established players that have a track record of actually having the ability to score or assist in the Premier. Might cost us more in Wages but currently I feel this is what is holding us back. Key first signing to fit this mould Theo Walcott..... Has a history of scoring makes sense.

Bump this thread for later viewing guaranteed Leicester will finish higher. We will be stuck with Bellgringo playing dross....

Agreed what happened to the desire, commitment and passion to win? Being a Saints fan presently I get more passion dropping my guts....

Players look disinterested and look like they can't be bothered to play for him. What happened to the high pressing, Hugh tempo football we used to serve up? Been saying it for weeks this new manager is toilet! I'm dreading when we meet some tougher teams we quite frankly going to be smashed...

Feeling optimistic 2-0 Saints

I would go with http://lineupbuilder.com/?sk=fx6by5

Danny Ings on loan is being touted... Surely not what we need to injury prone. I'd rather see that Barcelona lad.

Called karma Koeman is like a broken record clearly has lost the dressing room. "Today we showed de Qualities" No son you got smashed.....

Saints fans need a reality check. Give the guy a fair chance to bed in sacking him now would be pointless. Do you think he is immediately going to make us a top 6 club...... We are a mid table team at best anything else is a bonus. People need to stick tampons back in and actually back our manger and get behind the players. I couldn't give a damm if we finish 16th..... If we are still in the prem who cares.

Put him up top and get some decent balls in there. Guaranteed he would bang them in..... Needs a run of games. I wouldn't sell unless we are guaranteed a upgrade.

(OUT) Van D - £50 Million+ (IN) Ziyech - 25 Million Bas Dost - 20 Million Any Money left over Walcott Job Done

Back Pellegrino in Jan with the intention of addressing the attacking issues. Why pull the trigger now? It's not like someone else is going to magically polish turds. We at times struggled last season to stick the ball in the net. Maybe the conclusion is our players are average.... New manager wouldn't make a difference. Sell Van D! and reinvest up top. He isn't going to be the same player whilst he remains.....

Got a feeling we will beat them 2-1

Rafa for me makes sense I would approach him now! promise him some transfer funds in Jan. Get rid of Pellgrino seen enough i'm unconvinced he is the man to take us forward.

Yep I'd build around Lemina, Romeu, Boufal and Gabba the rest can f## off
