beatlesaint Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 To be fair he hasn’t exactly been covering himself in glory on the pitch so maybe he should look to sort that out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Not exactly effusive in his praise for the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally_uk Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Fair play....... The manager is a tool! If players are noticing thus then nowonder they are refusing to put a shift in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washsaint Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Talk about not beating about the bush.......in so many words pleading with the club to sack Pellegrino! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfahaji Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Earlier in the season Romeu came out and bascially said "we're not playing very well because we're doing what the manager asks". Boufal made his feelings clear after West Brom, Hoedt has apparently had a bust up (although I think him getting uppity about not starting every game, if true, is wrong), and Austin had the subtlety of a Sledgehammer when asked after the Everton game whether he felt he should have been given a chance earlier. I have heard a snippet, from an admittedly third-hand source but also one with no reason to make things up, that none of the players get on with Pellegrino. Everything else we've seen would point to as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 They didn't get on with Puel either. Maybe we have a bunch of dicks for a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 They didn't get on with Puel either. Maybe we have a bunch of dicks for a squad. Sounds pretty feasible. Football is not a greek democracy. Players need to do whatever the manager asks them to do to 100% of their capability. If they can't or won't then the manager needs to get players who can. Oh and having at least one "top player" who wants away in the camp never, ever helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordic Saint Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 They didn't get on with Puel either. Maybe we have a bunch of dicks for a squad. Well Les Reed signed the players and the managers so perhaps they reflect his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donatello Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 Here: https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?58910-You-sense-the-players-are-frustrated-too Cheers. Not sure that quite tallies with the initial claim, but an interesting/alarming read all the same, especially as it's slightly incongruent with what I remember reading (linked below) from Romeu this season...not that that surprises me, since Romeu's form has been all over the place this season, so it's only fitting that his thought processes match http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/12/02/southamptons-oriol-romeu-handed-lasting-impression-pep-guardiola/.

Badger Posted 27 December, 2017 Share Posted 27 December, 2017 I remember a lot of similar glib articles in 2004/5 in which Claus Lundekvan for one would be wheeled out after an insipid performance and defeat telling the world "oh, the lads were really disappointed by that performance .. and will be giving it 110% on Saturday to make amends..."

That may have changed with his goals now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
