  1. He's on a learning curve you say - he is a World Cup semi finalist surely we can't teach him that much?
  2. So why was he and not Juanmi our third impact sub? Bizarre
  3. In the old days lots of fans would have settled for a home draw in the expectation that we could win and progress and maybe even win the FA Cup. Years of failure seem to have driven the expectation out of us.
  4. Really a million times better? If Tadic is so bloody good why does Koeman always sub him?
  5. Long cost the same as Tadic and overall contributes more when on the pitch imo
  6. we need to address our weak underbelly - call for Kevin Nolan, we need his nastiness
  7. Heresy, wash your mouth my son
  8. Wilson is a respected journalist and a Saints fan so he is probably not far from the mark. Whenever Mane goes this transfer talk is not helpful to him or us right now at a time we don't need distractions. A replacement should if possible be bought in January, if Koemans recent buys are anything to go by he will need 6 months bedding in time!
  9. We have a soft underbelly and other teams know it We are not as fit as we were under MP No one there to make Pelle fight for his place RK has stated smelling the roses You can't replace men (Schneiderlin) with boys (Clasie) Apart from mane we are one-paced
  10. Maybe we are at a T junction then?
  11. I think RK has just bumped his head on a glass ceiling. I think as a club we are at something of a crossroads, we have done well to get to these particular crossroads but there might not be too much further we can travel unless the philosophy changes and a bigger stadium attracts bigger gates.......if feasible.
  12. Actually it was Lowe's fellow Board members who, finally, reigned him in and said No to Hoddle.
  13. good post
  14. Yes it's a close shout but I think MP has slightly more about him. Koeman got us into Europe but blew it in Denmark with his odd team selections
  15. Both RK and MP are fine managers but if I had to chose I would go for Pochettino
  16. Can't blame Yoshida - he does his best, the question should be asked why RK persists in picking him out of position ahead of Soares and Martina
  17. Don't be daft! For a minute there I thought you might actually get through a post without resorting to unpleasant jibes but alas I was to be disappointed. FWIW I haven't really been following the Poch/Koeman debate but was merely pointing out that Pochetino did seem to have faith in Sam Gallagher and was prepared to use him, even if it was mainly from the bench. I gather the view of several of the U21s currently at SMS is that they were more likely to get a chance under MP than they are under RK. Personally I think MP was more inclined to risk using the youth but I accept that could be because the youth he had available to him was of a higher quality. It's a debate nothing less nothing more so there really is no need to get personal every time you reply surely?
  18. CB Fry can't argue or even debate, he can only sneer. The bravest man the biggest cyber warrior on this forum don't you know
  19. He gave Sam Gallagher 18 Prem apps
  20. Koeman himself in an interview recently mentioned the fact that Tadic lost form when the winter arrived last year - from that I deduced he is not the sort of bloke who rolls his sleeves up when things get tough. You obviously like him, so we will have to differ but I remain very unconvinced. Like I say on form, on song a bloody good player but he is just too hit and miss for me.
  21. Stats only tell half the story - I will stick by my views although I take on board the fact that decent creative midfield players don't grow on trees. Tadic has the hard bit ie the skill but he goes missing too often and the cold weather hasn't really kicked in yet.
  22. He's the best we've got at the club in terms of creativity (so no to your question), but in my opinion we should be able to attract a player who has his creativity plus a bit of steel and consistency, two qualities the not so cheap, Tadic lacks.
  23. I know I bang on about Tadic but week in week out his deficiencies are costing us points. With him it's one good thing followed by two bad and yet fans turn a blind eye to the latter fault
