Tommy Mulgrew Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 Pathetic negative tactics after we scored; we should have gone all out to score a second and a third while we had Palarse on the rack. Only when we were behind did MP think we should attack. And then he took off our midfield dynamo (PH, not JWP!) and put on Davis, who is lightweight at this level when full-on attack is a priority. We got what we deserved: nothing and only goal difference separates us from the relegation spots. We are dropping like a stone and look like we are in real trouble. Totally inept.

Rory Peepa Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 Feels like the year we went down. Spot on. Fairly gutless, defensively naive and 13 years later we can’t score either.

Winnersaint Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 Manager apart, who doesn't seem to be able to provide a settled lineup/pattern. Our squad is full of those who have punched above their weights for a good few years and simply don't have the mindset or mentality for a fight. EFL next year.

Halo Stickman Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 Pellegrino tactically out-thought by the opposition manager yet again. There's only one place we're heading under this bloke; he's so out of his depth it's embarrassing. Can't imagine too many decent players wanting to join us in this ****ing state.

Even if I was going I don't see how a cup run helps us now. Normally I'm all about the cups I hate to see us play weakened sides when we are mid(upper mid) table and doing well but in a relegation battle its the last thing we need.

SW5 SAINT Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 It's exactly like the relegation season in 2005, when we hung on to a manager who was totally out of his depth, and then made the change when it was far to late. On that occasion it was Rupert Lowe being totally bloody minded in stating that Wigley had the job for the remainder of the season. It would appear to be Déjà vu with Les Reed this time.........

verlaine1979 Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 That was just about the most incompetent management of substitutions I've ever seen. Hodgson got his changes in and put us under pressure. Pellegrino taking Hojbjerg off was just stupid what did he think the lightweight Davis was going to do. Lamina should have been brought on but wasn't and Redmond FFS. Gabbiadini should have been on earlier for Tadic. I'm afraid this manager is just negative, score a goal and hope to win. He has no idea how to win games again we surrendered to Palace and dropped off, how many games is that? This. Hoj was our best player first half, so of course he had to be taken off. Lemina has energy and can press and carry the ball, so of course he changes his mind and keeps him on the bench. Just utterly mystifying subs, which seemed to have no discernible logic in terms of strategy or shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 To be honest the only thing about tonight was that we managed to score. Man Utd was also down to them having a poor day, not anything our manager did. The difference tonight was that Palace have a manager that knows what he's doing and we don't but then you could say the same thing about umpteen other games this season. We have the worst manager in the prem and quite why the board can't see this is utterly baffling. We can still get out of this self inflicted nightmare but only if the club: A) Gets rid of MP right now and replaces him with a manager that believes in attacking football (I'm starting to forget what it's like to see 2 up front). B) We get a proven goal scorer. Be prepared to spend big on a good spearhead, forget CH's, attacking mids etc - we MUST get a goalscorer or we're done. If we have any cash left over then strengthen elsewhere but goals should be the boards overwhelming priority. If we do go down it will have to go down as the biggest case of self inflicted damage in the club's history. We should be nowhere the relegation zone, it's quite incredible how badly managed the team has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just utterly mystifying subs, which seemed to have no discernible logic in terms of strategy or shape. Not since George Burley have I witnessed a manager so tactically inept as MP - it is utterly frustrating. But as long as he puts on entertaining training sessions that'll be enough for Les and Ralph and the rest of the clueless crew at the top. We are literally repeating the cycle - universally praised for how we are run as a club and a cup final in 2003 - management get complacent and hang onto a clown manager as they think its a good idea and bang we are down in 2005. Literally the same thing happening here. Time for Les to get his head out of his arse and hire a manager capable of saving us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joneth Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 long has now scored 1 goal in a year and we are surprised we can't score a lot with him as the starting centre forward when the manager picks him to start. The problem is the formation, the tactics that are employed, the buy in from the players into that approach, the man management, the game management and also the fact the the manager is from the mourinho school of not improving his players rather than the poch or pep. To quote the great philosopher kenny powers I'm ****ing out Totally agree, plenty of people blaming the players but we are set up all wrong. We can still get out of this mess, but we have to sack Pellegrino as a matter of urgency. If we keep playing this defensive nothing football we'll go down bottom of the league.

Midfield_General Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 I've been supporting Saints since 1984 and I've never seen a manager so terrifyingly out of his depth.
