Saints v Leicester Thread

Sacking Puel was a change for a change's sake. I'd bite your hand off for his points total from last season.

 

The club were right to sack Puel, but wrong to appoint MP.

 

They thought they could get Tuchel, didn’t and we’ve been left with not much choice.

 

Sorry but big clear out needed after tonight. Les leading them.

The last few games haven't changed my view that we are relegation material, tonights performance just confirms it. This hopeless manager must go now before it is too late although many of the players are to blame.

 

We should not be relegation material, nowhere near with the squad we have. The fact we are talking in these terms, especially after the easiest conceivable start is all down to one man. He ain't good enough and a couple of draws which should have been wins is not going to change that.

Perhaps the lesson is not to sack someone until you actually have a 100% confirmed replacement?

 

Should I reserve any of my weekends for a Wembley final for 2018?

Why is this even being discussed still? He took a decent squad to 46 points playing bland football and got sacked. If he's learned from it, good for him.

 

Our manager in Pellegrino and his performance has nothing to do with Puel, Koeman or Pochetinno. We didn't sell anyone, we spent money, yet we have an incoherent team, changes every game and far, far too many off form for it to be anything other than the manager.

Absolutely this. Huddersfield now a massive game like Everton was. Lose to Chelsea abd them and I don't see how he can stay.

Kinda funny how quickly people forget the stuffings we got last season under Puel (west ham, arsenal, spurs, palace etc)

 

In regards to this game that's up there with the worst 45mins we have played. We have some very average players. We set up with too many defense minded players. Lets see what MoPo does because if we come out with the same team and the same formation it could be 5 or 6. Thank god Lemina got that one off the line and Forster saved a couple.

I know it's a stretch to single out one of our players, but what an insipid, gutless player Tadic is. No fight, no busting a gut. Pellegrino has to bring Gabbiadini on; also PEH for Davis, or even Tadic. Manager has to go.
Talks about no fight, no guts...suggests bringing on Gabbiadini. Lol.

The issue is you seemed convinced we have decent squad capable of much more when the evidence shows we do not.

This team has no confidence they are good players but are not being inspired by negative tatics from the manager

wrong formation we need two strikers up front at home every game lets go down fighting not with excuses also we need a playmaker with pace and a goalkeeper the defence can have confidence in.

To be fair I thought Leicester were excellent. We were poor but I think they made us look worse.

 

There is nothing fancy to Leicester - they play quick and they play direct (moving forward, not pumping the ball in the air) and its scary how exposed we look when a team wants to move the ball quickly. We're set-up to block teams out who want to keep possession but Leicester take risks and they are cutting through us with incredible ease.

 

But when we get the ball we want to take three touches when one will do and that just slows things down.

 

This is a lesson in how to play football when away from home. Hope we learn it.

No-one has forgotten those. They don't get MoPe off the hook. His team is more talented than Puel's Saints and has a lighter schedule. No-one is claiming Puel to be a world beater but he was a damn sight better than the clown we have in charge right now.

 

Why bother firing Puel if you don't bring in someone better and with a different philosophy? He sets the team up like puel did, attacks a bit like Puel did (i.e. not much) but doesn't have a clue about defense. He has to go after thus game, has to.

Leicester haven't done anything special but they attack with pace and directness we lumber up field taking 15 passes when two would do. All their goals,were more down to school boy defending by us rather than anything special from them. We will be lucky if VVD is worth £7000 by the end of the season let alone 70k

it summed it up for me, Forster rolled the ball out to VvD and the ball went from one touchline to the other and then back again before it passed the halfway line

 

Leicester then had 10 behind the ball

Because if no action had been taken we would be doing a lot better than we are now.

I don't know why he keeps changing the defence every game. No wonder we look disjointed and clueless at the back. Stephens was amazing at the weekend and dropped today? Crazy.

 

This. The manager has no clue and, more importantly, does not seem to have the trust or respect of the players.

The lesson is if you get 2 appointments in a row wrong you're in trouble. Here's the next lesson with foresight - if you get a third consecutive appointment wrong, you probably get relegation.

 

But guess what, if the next manager is rubbish, that is down to the board and Reed's incompetence, it doesn't suddenly mean Pellegrino was amazing,.

 

So we're off to Wembley?! Happy days.
