Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 What worries me is why we have just collapsed suddenly. The players have let Puel down massively.
obelisk Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Just gave the ball away yet again and it's 3-0. Saints out of steam again. Fitness?
washsaint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 How on earth is that piece of s**t Redmond the first name on the teamsheet? He is utterly useless and Championship quality at best.
davefoggy Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 any one know where the **** our team spirit has gone?? worrying times
S-Clarke Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 This is all a bit of a shambles really. We're mentally fragile as a team and it shows. Everton have been dire as well.
adrian lord Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 The club PR team still gamely trying on here I see!
Lord Duckhunter Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 I blame Puel for Jose & Yoshida ****ing the last 2 goals up . Clearly it's not their fault but the clueless manager . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
5string Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 That was coming. Appalling play [not quite] out of defence. Just shocking. Really.
DG Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Everton are bang average, and they are destroying us. Each game just gets worse.
Edmonton Saint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Glad we rotated the hell out of the first XI to keep us fresh for the Christmas fixtures. Shocking once more. #PuelOUT
Jonnyboy Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Wish I'd gone for Guan 2.0s odds now - 20-1 damn.
Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 The scoreline flatters Everton, let's be honest.
St Marco Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 The sad thing is when Everton looked like they couldn't be arsed we were the better team. They go up a gear and start playing, where as we can't, we remain the same. Ah well at least we were 12th this time last season.
Sheaf Saint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Can't blame Puel for this. It's not nhis tactics that have been lackign today, it has been our total inability to create any decent scoring opportunities let alone score from them. Redmond is an utter waste of space. Tadic has not been in form since returning from that nose injury, but we know he has quality when on form. Long has the touch of a JWP and Clasie work hard but offer no goal threat at all. And as I type, we let in another after Fonte gets caught dawdling with the ball in our own 3rd. Puel can only work with what he has got. The players have been nowhere near good enough today.
Nordic Saint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Unfortunately Puel didn't have any option but to play him with VVD suspended. It does blow apart the suggestion that we could sell either Fonte or VVD this window, and cope with Yoshida and the remaining one of the two. Les Reed will sell them anyway. He's sold the attack. Now, he'll sell the defence. Until Reed goes, there's not much any manager will be able to do as the squad is only going to get progressively weaker.
Batman Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 We are away to Burnley next in the league. They have top 3 form at home LoL
obelisk Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Well at least we haven't had a player sent off.
James Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 It's the same old really, nothing different. Gaps to the forward players is too big, redmond/tadic coming deep for the ball then having to make up a lot of ground to get near the final third. Repeat constantly. Everton have been truly inept, a team with a bit of ambiton would have taken it to them today. We've just let them have this game as we have shown nothing apart from trying to keep them at arms length. The Christmas rotation malarkey hasn't really worked. Players should be fit enough to play more than 1 game in 5 days, if they're not then stick them into a fitness camp. The rotation thing has just not worked at all and is implemented at random it would seem. Completely agree on fitness, we must have the most unfit first XI in the league as no other team needs to rotate as much as we do.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Fonte gonna get lynched in the same way Redmond was for that then? No chance . It'll be Puels fault Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
John Boy Saint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Unfortunately Puel didn't have any option but to play him with VVD suspended. It does blow apart the suggestion that we could sell either Fonte or VVD this window, and cope with Yoshida and the remaining one of the two. To be fair Fonte was giving away free penalties at the beginning of the season.
saintant Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 What worries me is why we have just collapsed suddenly. The players have let Puel down massively. That's right, it's nothing to do with our highly paid manager is it!
mightysaints Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 , had enough of this football from saints, as my old man always said, if it ain't broke dont change it. Why change a winning set up from the last 3 seasons. We will get relegated at this rate
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Well i am really ****ed off but will not slag of everything that moves at sfc I understand why people do want to have a right moan but fail to know why several seem to enjoy our terrible form
Greenridge Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 I didn't think there was a chance that Puel would go but now it could be a real possibility.
Sheaf Saint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 And the collapse is complete. Thanks Puel, you are ruining our team. Yeah of course, it's all Puel's fault that Fonte just switched off and gave the ball away so cheaply in our own 3rd. Muppet!
adrian lord Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 I actually feel slightly sorry for Puel, he's been let down badly by Reed et al.
saintant Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 No chance . It'll be Puels fault Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Rightly so, the buck stops with the manager.
hypochondriac Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 I've been to Milan and Prague this year and seen absolutely pathetic performances. It's only after the last game that I finally snapped and I now believe puel has to go. It's not so much the results but the manner of our performances. They really have been incredibly poor for the majority of the season and it's not the entertaining football that fans want to see. We are now an extremely mediocre team whereas the last few years there has always been the promise of something greater.
angelman Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 I hope CP just said no reinforcements in the window as that is what he is supposed to say. We are dreadful at the moment
Dark Munster Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Pretty impressive effort to turn us into a bang mediocre side with no cutting edge or attacking thread, in the space of 4 months. Get this clown out Losing Mane, Pele and Austin may be a factor too.
Donatello Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 This is all a bit of a shambles really. We're mentally fragile as a team and it shows. Everton have been dire as well. That's the concerning thing. This is now way a 3-0 performance. It's a 0-0 performance which we've contrived to lose.
SaintRobbie Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Need a better replacement before we sack Puel. Mind you the list grows longer every game! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Batman Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 You have lol Boufal run through the lot of them and Jrod was woeful
Plastic Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 The manager's job is to inspire the team. I have seen no inspiration evident over the last few matches, just irrational rotation. How can people blame the team for the manager's tactics?
BotleySaint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 The manager isn't to blame. It is the lack of investment. Team just isn't what it used to be. The star quality has been removed.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Jrods now missed a hat trick of chances , I blame Redmond & Puel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
OttawaSaint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Along with Sgt Ottowa Please Adrion it's Captain...
St.JonB Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Whereas you just are stupid, no need to try I have never known someone post so often on a Football forum and not know anything about football. Have you really not got anything better to do?
Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 WE ARE NOT GOING TO SACK PUEL ANY TIME SOON Go and support someone like Swansea if you want the manager out every time
James Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 9 goals conceded in three games, 2 scored and next to no chances created. We will be well and truly drawn into the relegation battle. Decisive action required now.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 One more and at at least my prediction will be right. #lookingforpositives. :-(
5string Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 1-4 1-2 0-3 Yeah, great Xmas! Rubbish and, quite frankly, embarrassing.
ART Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Need a better replacement before we sack Puel. Mind you the list grows longer every game! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not ideal but maybe that's why Nigels been hanging around St Mary's of late
Toomer Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 And wait for the crap that will come out of Puels mouth in his post match interview, Dave Merrington said he was not telling the truth the other day.
davefizzy14 Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 This is not good enough, I am starting to question the managers decisions now. Losing to a bang average side by 3-0 is not good enough. Don't hear nothing from the board, something is not right. Sort it out now.
St Marco Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Pamplemouse and co are starting to sound really crazy now imo.
Wimborne_saint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Bournemouth above us now without even playing a game Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 WE ARE NOT GOING TO SACK PUEL ANY TIME SOON Go and support someone like Swansea if you want the manager out every time It's got nothing to do with every time. He's shown nothing that inspires confidence. Even if we'd scraped a 1-0 win today I'd be calling for his head. He makes Woy Hodgson look like a tactical genius.
James Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 WE ARE NOT GOING TO SACK PUEL ANY TIME SOON Go and support someone like Swansea if you want the manager out every time Genuine question, do you honestly see the situation improving under Puel? He's out of his depth and there are times when a change can be made for the better (see Poch for Adkins). Just because Swansea are **** and have changed their manager doesn't mean that it can't be done successfully.
