sorry meant 4 from 36 points

Lets keep RH because we cannot attract anyone better! Are you sure, a recent record of 4 out of 48point and that includes one win against the worst side in the PL, listen to yourselves I think anyone we chose could match that and probably better it I believe that our supporters are shot away like the manager, no ideas and to late to see need for a change. Why believe what is not working will work with no obvious proof it will. In fact the opposite is the case the evidence since the beginning of the year is that a change is required. I like RH but I liked people who worked for me but if they were not doing the job and there was no sign of improvement I got rid of them. So it not about liking people it about results The players are not that bad just give them a system of play where they can compete, move the ball quicker and stop passing back and whoever is manager you will see an improvement. Failing that we will be in the Championship this year or the next and RH system won’t work there. We want a manager who can use the players he has to form a team, and not a manager who plays a system that he does not have the players for.

I think we played Ok but did not make many goal scoring opportunities for our forwards. We pass the ball to slowly between our centre backs and Romeu and JWP allowing the opposing side time to regroup in front of us. I think a change is required at home we need to break up Romeu and JWP they are both DM's its OK to play them at away matches but at home we need a more attacking option to break down the opponents defence any thoughts ( do we have such a player ?)

poor performance , we need to play with 3 attacking midfielders at home and drop hoj or JWP having them in an away team is great but they offer no support to our attack at home .Until RH sees this we will struggle at home.

Sorry did not understand only English international but you could add Rod and Danny Wallace (we have had some great players over the years) Sad that most teams are made up of imported players now I would like to see established players from Championship given a chance

The problem is with picking a Saints best of all time (and England) is that you pick from players your have seen play in your lifetime I would pick Terry Paine the only other player I had seen who could matched him in skill playing for Saints was Channon I would also pick Ron Davies the best CF we ever had , scored goals for fun with his head no centre half or defence ever stop him. To support this he was also League top goal scorer three years in a row with a team fighting constant relegation battles. An opinion, but I wish we had the team from the late sixties now, almost unbeatable at home guts determination and no little skill with a great manager in Ted Bates they put this lot to shame. Downside they were awful away from home

Cretinule it was not meant for you the English professor

Puel style of football was rubbish it failed to excite the fans and we would have been relegated sooner or later under him look at his record since leaving not set the world on fire has he yet he been at decent clubs. Maybe you should look in a mirror before judging other supporters there's a lot of richard heads about. Same old excuse English is not his first language i bet it did not hinder his contract negotiate but it does seem to stop him communicating with his players what has he got to say about marking players defending is not about standing in a zone and doing nothing its about taking responsibility .Having our three tallest CB stood on the edge of the 6 yard box is not defending its taking them out of the game .Please with your superior knowledge explain why he does it. Why can he not explain to his players what are they meant to do there ( i have no clue), other than it not his first language which is the same for most prem footballers and managers yet other clubs seem to communicate OK .

RH in the ECHO “It is in the moment not nice but this is also part of this job. It is not always nice, it is not always winning games, it is not always celebrating with the fans. It’s sometimes being out there and a little bit disappointed about what happens at the moment. “Still this is my job to hold the head up and try to find the right decisions.” Please a LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED and NOT ALWAYS WINNING GAMES (just one every now and then would be nice) After reading this sack him NOW PLEASE

every player is under performing in our squad why? maybe poor leadership and tactics from RH I can understand why the player take all the blame their not very good , but even a poor 2nd division team can play well against PL teams when the structure and leadership set by the manager gives them the belief they can win or at least compete. When was the last time you thought we could win or compete in a match (not for a long time) whether RH is a good or bad manager is no longer important .The fact is he is not doing it here the players and fans have no faith in him and by his body language he has no faith in himself. If he does not move on or is sacked what is going to change to give us at least some hope of staying up or just improving our chances of winning a game . So to all you who wish him to stay I said good luck and relegation here we come without any sign of a fight (just blame the players ) all you have to look forward to is an empty St Marysand more strange decision when slecting our team is that what you all really want.

as usual the same old suspect stating its not as bad as it seem . Rubbish every team needs leaders and structure poor players in a well organised system look good , good players in a poor system look poor. RH is not capable of setting out a system that allows our limited squad a chance to compete and stay compact in a game. He has had more than enough time to show his management ability and I am afraid it not looking good. What are you all expecting is going to happen we lost 9-0 the worse defeat in Premier history against Leicester not Liverpool ,Man U or City .A decent manager should be able to setup a side to defend and attack and compete if you do not want more of the Friday night experience man up and face the facts , unless drastic changes are made soon we are in for a long disappointing season. Stop fantasising things will get better (WHY SHOULD THEY) if no changes are made maybe .Concentrate on a balance team with a system that allows the players to compete we will not beat the better teams but may win a few against equal quality sides. Stop defending as a priority as we do not have the quality of player to achieve a shut out and lets scores some goals for a change and get us supporters some cheer

I posted this after the Wolves A good performance against a poor team we should have won Our problem is that the team had 8 defensive players and only 2 attackers , they try hard but have no support from midfield, they are not good in the air so have limited chance of scoring against even a poor defence. RH is a limited coach who does not seem capable of seizing the opportunities that present themselves in the game. Poor and late substitutions more often having no impact on the game in reality making us poorer rather than better. Maybe our players are not up to much but give them a chance of winning with decent tactics . Our defence will always leak goals so the priority of the team should be to score to negate our poor defence, I do not think RH is capable of putting out an attacking team thats why our home form is so poor and we play better away from home until this is sorted we will always be a team in fear of relegation. I believe we have average players that are mid table at best but please give them a fighting chance by putting out a balanced team. RH must go his decision week after week of having 3 centre backs who stand in the box not marking or tracking anyone is mind blowing his choice of midfielders who cannot score run or make any sort of chance in a match is sackable on its own.He picks the team he decides the tactics or lack of . He is responsible for this shameful defeat I accept the players are to, but even a well setup 2nd division /non-league team defends better than us . Structure in a team is more important than the players available the manager is responsible for that RH has not shown any management skills this season if he stays we are relegated.

Jinx there is no jinx just poor player selection no energy or creativity in the team RH Midfield too defensive minded to slow going forward to support our front line Hoj and JWP just not up to premier standard midfielders no pace no skill not really any good RH start being attacking minded with team selection or leave I suggest 442 lets at least give the players a chance of some sort of result

The man's becoming a liability costing us 6 points with the Bournemouth game Not changing the formation until the 78 minute surely there is no excuse for such poor management.

totally agreed we are playing with 8 men Vest JWP and boufal are not in the game bring on Armstrong and Long lets run at them put some energy into this team if we do not change at half time RH your crap

Real eye opener how poor we really are we have the worst three CBs in the PL the least attacking midfield our forwards are left isolated and made to look poor . RH made errors picking this team we need skill ,flair and adventure in our midfield not JWP he is so negative .To get anything out of this group of players it got to be a 442 formation with emphasis on attacking as well as defending. We need to concentrate on scoring goals to counter the ones we will give away every match with this poor defence . Faster movement on the ball no passing back into our half when we are attacking and a more positive attitude from the 11 chosen players when on the pitch otherwise relegation and Savage will be right.

a lot more than you where do you rate it against a side below who has no quality or class .I seen us destroyed my better side but never as gutless as thisagainst a rubbish team Where do you rate this performance bright eyes

The manager should take the blame he has allowed his players(his selection ) to **** around instead of attacking what is one of the leagues worst side .I believe we should have won this game, we have the players but not the manger to force them forward and win the game he seem happy sitting back and throwing points aways evey game One of the most gutless performance by Manager and team I seen in 50 years of watching Saints. We are the pitts we would not frighten an under 8 teams with are complacency and laziness on the ball the little guys and girls i watch every week of all ability have at least the will to compete .This lot and their manager should hang their heads in shame total tozzers

RH put out a substandard team not capable of scoring defending or making a decent chance we are to slow at moving the ball and toothless up front HE MAY NOT BE OUR SAVIOUR AFTER ALL . We are not playing one of the top six so lets at least try and win lets attack from the start not with 10 minutes to go Worse Saints performance i have even sen in 50 years of watching

I understand the principal but he does the same thing every game wheter on the wing or playing up front he was our second striker today the lack of us having attacking midfield players negates any influence he has on the game by receiving the ball with his back to the goal . Liverpool 3 nil up and he forced Klopp to take off Shaquiri what game where you watching one shot from saints 1 minute from the end no shot in the first half what trouble he caused.Your understanding of the game is woeful the idea is to get a win or at least a draw by using your players to the best of their abilities . How much trouble did he cause today or in any match and I watched them all , 1 lucky win and 2 draws gosh your saints rosy tinted glasses are on today. I like Redmond but his strenght is not passing or playing with his back to goal its his speed and running at defenders thats where he causes trouble I think the telling word in your reply was TRY he would not get in any other PL team as he not a good passer of the ball or creates that many chances but we are led to believe he the best we got so lets play on

First the team does not look fit we have no energy and zonal marking is not for us . We pass backwards to often are very slow in moving the ball and play to deep. When we play with Long and Redmond up front we are no threat to anyone, every time Redmond receives the ball he has his back to goal which negates his speed he is no danger to any defender. There is no playmaker in the team or midfield general. The Manager can see this like you and i can so gods knows what they do in training as there is no improvement week on week we play in patches and look good but not for 90 minutes this is down to having half decent players but no directions. We will struggle against all the teams in this league as we have no organisation .Today Liverpool were 3 up without breaking a sweat having played a top european team on Tuesday and went into sleep mode in the second half, yet we did not create a chance against them . The manager must take the blame for the fitness and lack of organisation on the pitch there is clearly no motivation from MH or his team to the players. Unless we shake up MH we are sleep walking to the championship

We played really well let down my a stupid tackle and sending off,no one left on the pitch was to blame just the luck of football and a crap referee

Are you joking get rid of him asap, having no manager on Saturday is better than having him on the bench clueless idiot no footballing brain. no idea of a formation or how to win a game . we look good against the better teams as we play a 9 man defence and against the poorer teams we play 7 defensive players how are we going to win with this in balance in our team god help us if we keep him until Saturday. He is the worst manager i have seen in 50 years at Saints because he has better players than other failed managers had

For all those who are blind to our managers failings and wish to continue as we are look at the table . MP out OUT OUT
