austsaint Posted 20 November, 2017 Share Posted 20 November, 2017 You're welcome to back him but that doesn't make everyone else knee-jerk just because they think he's done a terrible job. Sometimes managers aren't given a chance, and sometimes they don't deserve to keep the job. You make a comment like that then bang on about evidence, cause and effect?! I'm sure most fans would love to have seen some positives under MP this season but there haven't been any. What do you think there are? Not excuses - positives. Comments about players not being bothered etc happen at so many clubs and it can only come down to the manager. You can't move a whole squad on each year. Even Mourinho lost his players at Chelsea. I'm sure there was some genius there saying it wasn't the managers fault, just the players. A manager takes a job knowing they have responsibility for getting that squad to perform. They build a team from it and get people on form. That's the whole damn job, so don't criticise people for judging a manager on that. Someone should forward this on to Les, with a cc to Mr Gao. We do have some bang average players though; that's the only part of this alarming season's situation I cannot hold MP responsible for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 21 November, 2017 Share Posted 21 November, 2017 Nothing. And even if it was, it would be utterly cringeworthy. The only cringeworthy thing is Pellegrino's interview post-match at Anfield. Delusional in the extreme. That, and the fact in the some of the home games I've been to (e.g. Watford) this season we have only had one or two (a real luxury) shots on goal. Not on target, on goal. Setting up like a non league club away to Man City in the FA Cup when playing Burnley at home, that is also cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom & Gerry Posted 21 November, 2017 Share Posted 21 November, 2017 Seeing as sacking Managers frequently usually results in diminishing returns as the new man has to pick up the pieces of several previous incumbants failed visions don't you think it might be a more sensible idea to get behind the Manager and players and see if we can right the chronic lack of confidence caused by a lack of goals that is the main problem we have which goes back to last season. If we scored some goals for instance the spotlight and pressure would be off Forster as his odd fumble wouldn't be noticed. If we lack confidence it doesn't matter if we play 3 at the back or 2 up front the result will be the same and the fans can give the players confidence by getting behind them rather than attacking them. We once had a manager who was out of his depth and didn't have a clue for over 2 seasons . He was so clueless that he went on to win the FA Cup, promotion,Get to a league cup final,2nd in the league, Europe and sign the European Footballer of the year. Give him some time.

I can't see how setting up to park the bus against Brighton the moment we scored is good management or confidence boosting. The manager's setup makes him and the team look like risk averse cowards and saps any remaining spirit from the players. We have to be braver and look to mix our play up a bit, doing the same thing week in, week out simply isn't working. He has an ultra-defensive mentality that is sapping any remaining vestiges of creativity from the team and I can only see us getting worse under his stewardship.

Nordic Saint Posted 21 November, 2017 Share Posted 21 November, 2017 So bring back Cortese but hire a good accountant too because Cortese likes to overspend. That’s Gao persuaded then, good bye Les and hello Nicola. Yet, Cortese advised Markus Liebherr to buy SFC, and Kat Liebherr must be incredibly grateful to him for one of the most profitable investments ever made in a football club. She has a profit of at last 200 million in her bank account to thank him for. I don't think the initial investment in players and infrastructure which brought her that massive profit have cost her one penny in the end as her loan to the club was paid back to her with interest (+5% per annum, I believe) before she got the 210 million from Gao. Without that initial very shrewd investment guided by Cortese, she'd now be a lot less wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 21 November, 2017 Share Posted 21 November, 2017 We certainly didn't set up to win. Burnley went 2 upfront before we did. It followed the pattern of several of our home games against the PL’s crappier teams, with Saints dominating in terms of possession, against resolute defending by Burnley, and few good opportunities for either side. We had one or two decent chances - a block on Bertrand when he looked like he had a clear shot on goal was one. If I remember correctly Burnley scored with pretty much their only attempt on goal, after Dyche switched to two upfront and Vokes mugged Yoshi and scored with a deflected header. It actually highlights Pellegrino’s team selection - Hoedt’s size might have been better against Burnley particularly considering the nature of the winning goal. Yoshi may have done better against Liverpool, with his quicker pace. If Pellegrino is mechanically alternating between the two, well that seems like poor team selection to me.

Is this really what it has come to? It's up there with 'phoning the police' if you lose. When will fans get it into their heads, that they are just that, fans. They have a place in football which is irreplaceable, but that place is as fans. Owners, by and large, are successful business people who are adept at running big business and looking past the affiliation that fans have, in order to protect their investment and grow their company. You wouldn't try to tell a pilot how to land the plane, please don't think that you can tell the owner how to run the club. And, if you are going to try to do it, at least do so having had somebody who has a basic grasp of written English, proof read your efforts first! It's stuff like this that make me despair of some fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that it was he that instructed the team to park the bus ? I don't think he wanted the team to play like that. Do you think that's how he said he wanted the team to play when he was interviewed? Maybe the players have been brought up to be risk averse and getting them to be more adventurous takes time. Neither of us know for sure. There is risk either way but for now sacking the manager is the greater risk because it almost certainly leads to decline. In the end we'll appoint an Allardyce to keep us up end up like Bolton, Blackburn, Sunderland, West Ham and Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
