Comment | Southampton At Arsenal The Verdict
at 13:51:29
Goals against were always gonna be our downfall this season and it doesn’t matter whether we play three, four or five at the back the outcome is the same because we aren’t good enough to play it out from the back.
I don’t like to see managers sacked but RM has proven this season and last that he is unable or unwilling to play pragmatic football therefore he needs to go now before we waste any more winnable games. |

That team selection last night was a cry for help. The board need to put him out of his misery, he’s out of his depth, inflexible and getting more and more desperate.
Conceding goals has always been an issue for RM’s teams, and a newly promoted team is never gonna out score the opposition on enough occasions to get to 40 points. He needed to build solid foundations over the summer, instead we have champ level centre backs, so it’s inevitable we get the same old shit show every week… |

Comment | Saints Set To Bid £6 Million To Bring Back Former St Mary's Hero

Definitely worth a punt at that price.
I think Ings would fit well into our formation and style of play, more so than Adams currently does (although I would be pleased if Adams stayed).
Adams is a back to the goal type of striker whereas we seem to be at our best when we have forwards running the channels and running at defenders, so I think he Will be more effective with Saints than he was at the Hammers |

What RM said to the press after the game and what he said to the players in the dressing are two different things…I hope. I commend him for sticking up for the players in public as this defeat sits squarely with the manager.
Games are won and lost in midfield and he substituted 3 of our 4 starting midfielders. To me this says he has no clue what his best team or how to set up his team to play his one style of play. A manager who is unable to adapt his style to the players he has at his disposal is on borrowed time in the championship… |

There needs to be a massive autopsy at the end of the season and blame needs to be laid at the feet of those responsible, mainly due to the sheer number of major mistakes that have been made since SR took over but also to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We need to learn and quickly, not just accept it and move on to the next mistake.
You’re right Nick we did recover after 2005 but only after flirting with bankruptcy. |

I don’t feel sorry for Selles, he was arrogant enough to think he was ready to manage a team in the prem, his cv definitely didn’t suggest he was ready. I’m sure the millions he will receive from SR will soften the blow when he’s unemployed.
Utterly clueless manager. Two in a row.
SR have well and truly f*cked up. |

Spot on Nick, totally agree with your analysis. Although, I’m not sure if we have talented group or not anymore, it’s been a while since that talent was on display.
The thing that disappoints me most (and there are lots to choose from) is that we all know we struggle for goals, so we buy a centre forward with a record of scoring goals (albeit in a lower league) and then we don’t change our style of play to suit him. Where is the leadership and the courage to move away from the system that has failed us all season and try something different. What’s the worst that can happen? I’d rather we lose the remaining games with a gung-ho attitude rather than the damp squib that is currently being served up every week |

“This Saints side is not a poor one…†you’re right Nick it’s a terrible one.
We have scored 23 goals in 29 league games, it doesn’t matter how good your defence is (and ours is shite) you won’t get many points if you score so few goals. I admire your unwavering loyalty though, even if you are blinkered to the reality of our position i.e. a bloated squad of mediocre players at best |

Comment | Spurs Definitely Without Four For Trip To Southampton

Sadly Forster and Hojberg would walk straight back into our starting eleven and be a vast improvement on what we had against Brentford. We’ve gone so far backwards despite spending tens of millions in two transfer windows |

Comment | Watt View - Disastrous appointment means survival now extremely difficult
at 19:42:24
“Instead of placing Selles in charge in November while they assessed the options…†the scary thing is they did assess the options and decided that Jones was a perfect fit, hence the 3.5 year contract.
There is now even more pressure for SR to get the next appointment right.
Agreed with Felly that we should use the rest of the season as a free hit then start again in the summer with a new manager who can assess what’s left of our current squad. |

I’m actually hoping that Palace score a hatful against us to force the hand of the muppets who are currently running our club.
Get an experienced manager in before Everton and maybe just maybe it’s not too late to save our PL status. |

This squad needs more than just a new goal scorer and for Tino to return from injury to solve its problems.
What have they been doing during the World Cup, did Jones gives them the month off?! |

I really hope you have some inside information about this proven striker that we’re buying in January because it seems that our whole season hinges on it.
Call me a cynic, but I’d be surprised if there was a proven striker out there who would be willing to join a relegation battle and that their club would be willing to sell.
I think we have to look to the squad of players we have for answers to our lack of goals, a hero needs to step forward, and soon. |
