Avoiding Relegtion

[St_Tel49]

I actually agree with him, but just because he's stated an opinion and used the word "I" doesn't mean he's arrogant ?

 

Indeed - but saying "anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves" might just be construed that way ;-)

Having witness all 3 home games I am now of the opinion that staying up will be a wonderful achievement. Any one saying different is kidding them selves. Just look at this team no striker sorry but Lambert does not look like a million pound player Patterson looks out of his depth Sag doesn't want to be here. Midfield is just average and defence so so. Sorry but we just had to win yesterday and there is just no excuse, christ their keeper really had very little to do. Pardew is making some what strange choices, they have a man sent off and our most gifted midfielder Schneiderlin stays on the bench crazy.Yes he is a passenger at times but we are at home they had a man off and really were not much of a threat.

 

I'd wait till Xmas and if we are the same number of points from safety by then I think your concern would be justified.

 

However to panic at the moment is way too premature.

 

As a team we are still gelling and besides, why bother worrying? It's not going to change anything anyway.

No why don't we judge him 6 games into a 46 games season

 

Just what do people want? Do you want Pardew sacked so we can start again for the umpteenth time. If so, who would you like in?

 

If not then yes, you also have a right to be critical but do you think Pardew is happy with the start we've made. The attitude that we should be beating teams like this because we're Southampton is large part of the problem - who knows, perhaps some of the players have previously thought like that. The back is starting to look sorted - we were very short up front on Saturday. This week we'll hopefully get Waigo and Saga will be back from watching international football, that should give us a boost up front.

 

I don't think anyone has said he needs to be sacked - many are concerned that we have only earned 4 points - even without the -10 award we would still be in the relegation zone. The trend is not showing that we've turned the corner yet. However, AP has done what most of us wanted - he's brought in virtually a new team. So I will give him more time, but I am getting worried.
