Comment | Saints V Everton The Verdict

I hope you’re right Davidargyll and RH stays with us for several seasons. But I have this awful premonition: MoPo goes to Man U and then Levy grabs our man. Again. |

Comment | Saints Fans Should Focus On The Real Problem !

Something missing from the analysis: the Academy. We used to regularly feed gems into the first team - Walcott, Bale, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaw. Where is the next generation? Why are there no Saints players in England’s age group squads? |

Watched the Champions League final in the Echo Arena in Liverpool. Three goals and one assist by Saints players. Very enjoyable. |

Eddie Howe would be good, but I don’t suppose he’d leave Bournemouth at this stage in the season. |

Please let’s not keep calling for MP to be sacked. He seems a decent bloke and could come good now that we have an easier run of fixtures.
Lawrie McMenemy was relegated in his first season... |

Comment | Why The Saints Board Must Sack Mauricio Pellegrino Now Before It Is Too Late!

Sacking MP is not the answer, unless there is somebody to turn to who we would be confident of bringing improvement. Allardyce and Moyes are already taken (and would anyone have been happy with either of them with their defensive approaches?); so is Hodgson (and I don’t imagine supporters would have been thrilled by him either). Meanwhile West Brom sacked Pulis (fair enough) but got Pardew (how is that an improvement?); and Swansea sacked Clement to end up with a manager who has moved clubs almost every year and who had just been sacked by Sheffield Wednesday (bizarre). Stoke are holding on to Hughes because they can’t see anybody better who could be available.
Would RK want to come back? He clearly felt he was too big for Saints; and he didn’t give chances to home grown players. Oh and he failed badly at Everton. I suppose Frank de Boer is available....
During the summer, MP and Marco Silva were the hot young managers that clubs were apparently jostling to employ; and we got the one who hadn’t already failed at Hull. And who is now struggling with Watford.
Puel was sacked because of too many tedious displays in which Saints failed to score. Yet he has now turned Leicester round. Surely that’s because he has Mahrez and Vardy, whereas at Saints he would have a pair of non-scoring forwards in Gabbiadini (repeating his history from Napoli) and Long (who couldn’t score for Ireland either) and an occasionally fit Austin.
So the solution surely has to be to try to find a striker capable of scoring when presented with a chance. Saints do create chances: I think I saw a statistic that we’ve hit the woodwork more than any other club this season. We just need someone to put them away. |
