So this was in another thread thought it was worth one of its own. So players rated in each position on their performances this season based on whoscored stats. Even taking into account stats can be interpreted in different ways its pretty damning stuff. (note this was after the first nine games so doesn't include the St Mary's massacre). In the list saints players include Gunn - 3rd worst keeper in the league Yan Valery - 5th worst RB in the league Yoshida - 2nd worse CB in the league Bertrand - worst LB in the league (yes really) Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 5th worst central midfielder in the league Che Adams - 4th worst striker in the league https://www.givemesport.com/1515139-stats-show-the-lowest-rated-five-premier-league-players-in-every-position-so-far-this-season?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=web-view&utm_campaign=organic-social

The other is problem we've now been ****e for a while which really makes it hard to buy a "top" player of any type even if we where willing to splash the extra cash we wouldn't be any players preferred destination now.

He's going to have fun fitting all the Leicester players in though...

Yes I could easily see these players losing 9-0 under a different manager if they went a man down and goal down after 10. This squad is full of gutless, cowards, who are not nearly as good players as they seem to think they are. You'd think they would have fought hard to avoid humiliation just for personal pride, even if the hate the manager, and couldn't care less about the club or the fans...but the didn't they gave up rolled over and lubed up their aresholes..

It's hardly making excuses . I've been pointing out the crap quaility of the squad for four seasons now. All the managers, we've had since Koeman, have made mistakes, no doubt, but you can't get past the absolute dross that now fills our squad. It is impossible to make a matchday 11, out of the current squad, without knowing 90% of them aren't good enough for the PL. You can complain about Gunn, JWP and Vest, and yes they are crap, but if you really think McCarthy, Armstrong and Stephens are going to make us somehow much better you're deluded. Most of our squad are barely good enough to be back ups let alone starters. We can keep chopping and change managers, and maybe get a bit of a new manager bounce, but in the end this group of players will always end up back to their natural performance levels just like they have for three seasons now.

This. I love the whole it's all the fans fault crap especially when it usually turns out the poster complaining has done **** all to change things themselves. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

He left one crackpot club why the hell would he want to join another one... Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

How does this bunch of absolute crap, pretending to be too flight footballers, keep getingt away with it season after season with some fans? A large number of them have now been crap for three or four seasons under four different managers and yet people still want to put it all down to the manager that most of these players can't even manage the basics of football. We can change manager again or even ten more times it won't make this shower of **** any better. Out of the current squad there isn't one I'd be bothered about leaving becuase they are crap to a man.

How bad most Pompey be though to lose 4-0 to us [emoji38] Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Which is why Ralph will still be here unless he offers to leave with no payoff. I guess we might have finished paying Puel by now.

you think we have the money to pay off yet another manager?

Rather just get relegated every season we survive is just prolonging the misery and condemning us to another season of this crap. Nothing going to change until we get rid of the owner and that will only happen if go down a couple of leagues.

It seems like a long time ago that Puel was the worst saints manager ever seen...

Puel could but then he was boring and people said we could do better.. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

People have been saying it's the coaching for four seasons now maybe we just have to accept these players are beyond crap and damaged goods. At least the Sheff utds players have some confidence and momentum from last season's promotion and no doubt they'd fight tooth and claw to remain PL players. Meanwhile we have players who have had seasons of mediocrity who think they've already made it as PL quality players. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

What you reckon Brendan would do any better with our shower of ****e squad than the our last four managers. If the roles where revered and Ralph was Leicesters manager and Brendan saints manager this game would still be playing out exactly the same way. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Well I doubt he was expecting us to be a man down ( and our best defender at that) after 10 ****ing minutes.... Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Who would you like to play in midfield from our massive selection of midfielders? People keep saying Ralph should pick other players but just look at the rest of the squad, other than McCarthy and Djenepo, they are worse than the players we put out tonight the whole squad is pretty much crap it's been crap for several seasons now hence why we are constantly battling relegation.

Really glad I'd decided to give it a miss tonight. I've now switched off Solent bollix to it I don't need saints ruining another weekend. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Well game over after 10 minutes. FFS this season sucks balls already. It's going to be a massacre now. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

The games I've been to this season JWP has started games in midfield but when Ralph makes changes he often hooks a defender, brings on an attacking player and moves JWP back to RB/ RWB for some reason I can't really understand. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Last season Ralph arrived and moved to a back three and we started picking up points. Early this season Ralph was trying to implement 4-2-2-2 and we where awful. Last game with three at the back we kept wolves to one shot on target the game before we started with a back 2 against Chelsea and got stuffed. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Well you learn something new everyday. I always knew filibusters as American military freebooters who operated in Latin America particularly William Walker. Never heard of the term in a parliamentary context before. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
