Give it to Ron

So am coming round to Selles is the tactical brains, Jones is the man manager something Ralph allegedly wasn’t good at. I have no idea if he was or not and the utter garbage The Athletic us trolling out at moment is typical gutter snipe journalists . Lets not forget we lost 10 of last 13 games last year. We have won 3, only 1 at home the bar is very low and some want Ralph back? Sacking him wasn’t wrong it’s who they are replacing him with could be we just don’t know yet.

Any chance can post it’s behind pay wall. We won 4 from 28 under Ralph the bar is very low for Jones. The Villa game away was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. The Chelsea home performance last year was abysmal. Plus those other 2 games! We now are run by low rent morons like Semmens , Steele and co who treat fans like an inconvenience. Why is anyone surprised we have gone for Luton’s manager?

He won’t be able to attend Sunday matches as be preaching elsewhere. smiley wink thing

Yes it was me that posted it after Arsenal game match thread. It was odd as he mentioned 3 times about Ralph leaving in November. He said he had no info but was doing some research as to who is out there and came up with the River Plate manager .

I see Villa appointing Unai Emery think step up from Gerrard! No Poch then 🙂

I am one of his biggest critics his performance at Villa was abysmal yet second half yesterday was one of his best. None of us want to criticise our players but say what we see, great tackle and great pass yesterday more of that needed.

Interesting chat on Solent with Blackmore who intimated that Ralph may go in November. I may have misheard but seemed like a lot of noise about it. Blackmore even mentioned a name as an option he did stress he was just looking at options…why if Ralph is staying? He came up with but stressed not in the know Marcelo Gallardo

That was happening on block 36 hence getting old bill

I thought it was a great sub and helped nullify the threat of Nketiah and Tuerney subs that side. Theo filled in well used his experience and we broke well from that. Good subs today

No he isn’t allowed to play against loaned from club

….and breathe 3 points is all that matters the performances will come . Ralph here until WC now but maybe more choices around then.

It was a league game against a very poor team and 5 up hardly Champions League or a major final. In general supported team and mass behind goal kept going and in time with their drum but they let team know when they misplaced pass!

Not with all those Ajax fans who had their phones lit up when it went to 5 nil embarrassing! I would take the Excelsior number 8 big chap good target man linked play well but no service at all. Ideal for championship 🙂

Been with family in Amsterdam this weekend as they we’re running half marathon. We managed to get seats from fans resale for £31. 52k stadium no queue for beer or food and cheaper beer than in town and can take it to seat. Excelsior Fc have a stadium that holds 4.5k. Ajax never got out of second gear, Tadic just strolled in acres of space , he scored one and made 2 in a 7-1 win. interesting watching Blind Bergweijn and Klaasen in this league light years above rest. Tadic still has it but in that space he can destroy teams. No-one in 10 yards of him 90% of game. Nice stadium easy access and good to see a team in red&white win. Best player was Bassey. Couldn’t decide whether Brobbey is good or just lucky he has team mates to set him up but Ajax have that focal point we lack.

Bad news Diamond Edwards out for season ACL he was one had hoped to see on bench

What are our tactics and game plan? How do 5 changes a game help players know what their partners are doing? Shouldn’t a top coach like Ralph find a formation and coach players to be better isn’t that what he is paid for? Not having a go but the excuse of blaming players doesn’t sit with me. Why drop Salisu v Everton? Then drops CC v City why? Perraud deemed not good enough to start v Everton and Larios was despite Moussa doing well then Perraud starts v City. AMN starts v Everton then not a minute at City if you were a player how would all that grab you?

Stop tinkering and 5 changes a game - AMN has hardly played how can he get match fit? Diallo has proved he can’t play the role. Why drop Salisu then CC, why drop Moussa from LB and play a midget. Try and find a formation to get best of Aribo not stuck wide.

Second for Griffet watched him a lot in games at Staplewood. I was raving about him to bloke next to me when he came on as sub he then scored ! Surprised he didn’t kick on

So last week he broke up the one thing that was ok BK/Salisu for Caleta dropped Diallo for AMN. This week drops AMN for Diallo and CC for Salisu. Next week is it JWP andBK turn to be dropped? Selection by raffle?

Just turned on ref gave US a pen went to Var and it hit England players arse!!!

Yeah plus they left before Ralph stupid point really. My issues are with him tactically and tinkering needlessly , only one I saw was Armstrong saying Ralph didn’t like him at first he thought

Don’t hate him and not much to admire in last 28 games or 60 points. Just think gone stale and no idea of best side now and tinkers for sake of it why change central two? Moussa played pretty well then doesn’t get a minute against Everton plays a 5ft 6 midget. Tactically last 3 games hoof to Adams v Wolves and Villa no one close enough to feed off any rare he won . Saturday both Adams and Mara coming short not showing or moving so midfield have nowhere but sideways and back . Our only light was Aribo. Clearly has love but now just looks a beaten man.

Bertrand has been injured. Lallana , VVD, Clyne, Boufal, Wanyama pre injury, Hojberg all did ok since leaving.

On holiday

Christ I have just read on Twitter under Tele article one Saints fan describe Ralph as a top coach! ‪Do top coaches get 3 wins from 28? Can you name another coach who has 2 x 9 defeats a 6 nil at home and 12 points out of 60? He was let down by striker in summer but his tactics are not a top coach. Why haven’t the strikers we have improved if he is a top coach? At least MLG put him right 🙂
