Saint-Beer Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Oh dear. Look how happy you are that we've lost and that I was wrong. If we had won, you would've gone AWOL, along with all the bed wetters. You really are sad and pathetic. Grow up. Hear, Hear.

Saint-Reece Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Puel is not the issue. Some of you lot need to get your heads round the fact that we won't be sacking him any time soon. We won't sack him no, but we should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ART Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Sam Gallagher strikes again to give Blackburn all three points Who are those who say Puel knew what he was doing in France? Absolute Rubbish. He struggled most of the time just as he's doing in England. Even Steven Caulker was available and would have been better than nobody. Unless we can sigh a decent freebee we are going to sink like a stone. Just how could we be in such a situation with us knowing for months we needed central defenders. The fault lies fairly and squarely with Reed, followed closely behind by Puel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Who in the under 23's who is bigger than a smurf can come in and play with Pierre in the shuttling midfield roles. JWP/Davis aren't good defenders and not creators and are not goal scorers so what are they ? Clasie can at least defend, is there a free transfer out there than can come in a do a job. Sorry, Clasie can't defend. He is an imposter who is always just too late to put in a tackle, is not a box to box player and ambles back when we lose the ball - he is not the answer to the current shambles.

bogwoppit Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 I said the other day I was concerned that we would be in relegation battle, however apparently my comment was a knee jerk reaction. What I find hard to believe is that some still think we have a better chance of finishing 8th! No, i'm not a bedwetter, but we are seriously in the s..t.

St Lej Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Saints 22 shots West Ham 6 and we lose 3-1. Story of our season !!! So many times we have had more shots on goal and on target than the opposition but not got the result. Poor finishing, defensive lapses and pure bad luck have cost us on too many occassions. Very frustrating but far from the picture being painted on here. Certainly not relegation material. Don't forget we also have a goalkeeper who is unbelievably **** and lets in any shot a few yards either side of him. That doesn't help matters at all, even less so when we decimate our centre back options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Benali Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Why ignore the two Liverpool wins? They don't fit into your theory? Why are you deliberately ignoring them? As I said, it's quite pathetic from your point of view (and others) that you are so happy. Who is happy exactly? It seems you are starting to crack up.... People have been saying there are issues and you have been denying them. I don't think Marco or anyone is happy about what is happening. They think it shouldnt be happening and that is why they vent their frustration. You just bury your head in the sand and will look for anything at all to try and make you feel better. Saying people are happy with how this season has gone cries of desperation. Just admit you were wrong, move on and engage in discussion on how we can turn it around. Talking about who is right/wrong or happy and sad makes you look stupid. Talk about the football. We are in a very bad patch and to think otherwise must mean you are a wum.

Window Cleaner Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 One of my work colleagues is a Lyon fan and he describes Puel as a "clueless arsehole" Tbh that description can equally be applied to any Lyon fan really. But Puel had plenty of success in Ligue 1 but that's nothing to do with the question because it is a very substandard league. I watched a bit of Metz-OM yesterday and I'd not be exaggerating in saying I've seen better games on Bitterne Park Rec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 One of my work colleagues is a Lyon fan and he describes Puel as a "clueless arsehole" He got them further in the Champions League then any other manager has ever managed to do for them. If you asked Saints fan for their opinion on Adkins, it would be positive. Ask Reading fans or Sheff Utd fans, and it would be negative. He's been successful in France, and has a good reputation for developing young players. He'll come good for us, if the board can get their fingers out of their arses and back him in the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellone Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Most are so negative anyway. If we won 4-0 they'd still be moaning. People like alpine, batman et al have views which can be safely ignored. We could be winning the league and they'd still be upset. I understand your point but to label people that have had a gutful of this farce as bedwetters is daft. I've had enough it doesn't make me a negative troll.

CanadaSaint Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 In recent seasons we've had some top-eight players, a top-eight manager, a bunch of middle-third players playing above themselves, a strong defence compensating for a bottom-third keeper, and a top-2 recruitment system. Now we have less top-eight players, a bottom-five manager, nobody apart from Romeu playing above themselves, a weak defence showing Forster up for what he really is, and a recruitment system that is not even responding to current needs, never mind "working two years ahead". Black box, my arse. We are in a dogfight, and my fear is that Reed and Puel are not capable of turning this around. We need someone who can pick this team up and carry it on his shoulders, but he's out for another month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've put one of them away at least and made a game of it. Gabbiadini looks like a good player. Defensively though, I am worried. I think we need to put Bertrand in there and go McQueen at LB for Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 (edited) So glad we had a purple patch earlier this season and got a few points on the board or I'd be seriously concerned now. We're in a serious freefall, and the teams below are slowly creeping closer. Fed up or getting home from SMS feeling like this. The board have let everyone down this season.

Pamplemousse to respect your comment explain what the problem is and how the manager is going to turn the team around because we been second best to most teams we played a month before christmas. We are like a boxer who invites a knockout punch every match we just sit back and let every team where ever they are in the league attack us giving them confidence . whilst seeing all the believe disappear from our team.
