Chez Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Ran out of steam because we spent so much energy trying to get the ball back after giving it away. Too many players in forward positions not doing enough damage and it's not just Redmond...
Batman 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 yeah, cos saints are a great example of stability anyway
saintant Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 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! Er, it was already 2-0 then dinlow.
Greenridge 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 We were short of quality forwards before the start of the season when Puel announced he was happy with his squad so yes, he has to shoulder some element of that even before discussing the wider issues. Unfortunately I think you'll soon be needing a new line to 'we are 9th and in the semi-finals of the cup'.
Shance Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 I'm firmly in the Puel out section now. His tactics are so negative it's unreal and the board can **** themselves as well. Going into the season with the strikers we've got was a really bad move.
Appy Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Most boring football in the league, get someone in for the window that decent players want to play for.
Dark Munster 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. Agreed. We need a quality striker brought in. The silver lining from this Christmas from hell is that maybe it has woken Reed up to what's been bleeding obvious to all of us for months.
saintant Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 This rotation thing to conserve energy is working like a dream isn't it! Pick a side, stick to it and get some consistency.
ALWAYS_SFC 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. This is a very good and worrying point but if he can`t get them to do the opposite what can we do.... too many players are way out of form
Chez Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Most boring football in the league, get someone in for the window that decent players want to play for. But Are they at the club already?
obelisk Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Well those xmas results are what you might expect from a team staring relegation in the face. I just can't see where any improvement is coming from.
James Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 I'm firmly in the Puel out section now. His tactics are so negative it's unreal and the board can **** themselves as well. Going into the season with the strikers we've got was a really bad move. Tactics are the root cause of all of this. Even if we had won this 1-0 I wouldn't be happy with Puel. His tactics are awful and the football we are producing is awful. Playing not to lose and then letting in three cheap goals, tactical genius.
Chez Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 This rotation thing to conserve energy is working like a dream isn't it! Pick a side, stick to it and get some consistency. Who is actually worth picking right now?
Appy Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 But Are they at the club already? Decent players at the club and not at the club won't want to play this turgid football.
Chez Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Even if we had won this 1-0 I wouldn't be happy with Puel.tough crowd.
Give it to Ron Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 This is a very good and worrying point but if he can`t get them to do the opposite what can we do.... too many players are way out of form We are 10th and in a semi final....oh and Sturridge is limping !!! Do you see Claude turning this around? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
saintant Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Who is actually worth picking right now? It's not easy to tell after what Puel has done through his exsessive rotation. However, we do have a best 1X and Puel should know it and start selecting it week in week out or we are going to continue to field teams that look like a bunch of strangers thrown together.
Chez Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Decent players at the club and not at the club won't want to play this turgid football. Football not especially turgid today. We just look like a very average team playing without confidence. That as is a terrible combination.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 We are 10th and in a semi final....oh and Sturridge is limping !!! Do you see Claude turning this around? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don`t know but certainly hope so... there are no guarantees
Victor Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 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. But we sell players because we have improved them to the point that better teams want them so there is no logic to your comment.
Viking Saint Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 We are 10th and in a semi final....oh and Sturridge is limping !!! Do you see Claude turning this around? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sadly, no. Nothing I've seen so far this season gives me any confidence whatsoever in Puel's ability to turn things around. He seems woefully out of his depth in the PL and too many of our players appear to be regressing under him.
Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Tactics are the root cause of all of this. Even if we had won this 1-0 I wouldn't be happy with Puel. His tactics are awful and the football we are producing is awful. Playing not to lose and then letting in three cheap goals, tactical genius. Ridiculous statement. There was nothing wrong with the tactics - we were playing fine until we conceded. Then the players went into meltdown mode.

However, we do have a best 1X and Puel should know it and start selecting it week in week out or we are going to continue to field teams that look like a bunch of strangers thrown together. Agreed. However I don't see eleven players in any sort of form. We are going to have to grit a few games out like we did last season when we went five at the back. No goals though mean we have major problems.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Ridiculous statement. There was nothing wrong with the tactics - we were playing fine until we conceded. Then the players went into meltdown mode. True but sadly mate this will not be accepted on here the mob want blood...
Batman Posted 2 January, 2017 Posted 2 January, 2017 Ridiculous statement. There was nothing wrong with the tactics - we were playing fine until we conceded. Then the players went into meltdown mode. yes there was. we offered very little in attack. we did well for 70 mins or so in limiting them. The we just looked so unfit and they trampled on us fairly easily
