tajjuk Posted 22 June, 2022 Share Posted 22 June, 2022 Somewhere between a six and seven for me, considering we have probably a bottom 5 budget overall (wages might be higher but a lot of that was wasted on trash he couldn't use and any transfer budget he's had is pretty been sell to buy) and we were pretty much almost relegated and then very likely to get relegated under Hughes, he's done a decent job. He's improved players (JWP wouldn't be the player he is I don't think without Ralph), he's got us playing some good football, some great runs and some top results. On the flip we've had some terrible runs and some stand out awful results. But we have also very rarely been boring, we were boring (and generally awful) for the 3 years before him. Plus I still don't think he has a squad he really wants and is designed for his football, hes been making do and mending a lot of his time here. This season is probably make or break, looks like he will get backed in the market with more engaged owners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coalman Posted 22 June, 2022 Share Posted 22 June, 2022 It's a real Jekyll and Hyde. When we're on a roll it's an 9. When we're not it's a 3. That being said keeping us up with the players he inherited and absence of funds was nothing short of miraculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our excellent runs it really is 9/10 But the long dismal runs are probably 1/10. Can't be bothered to look up all the bad records he holds (mlg will do that) but off the top of my head - record loss in PL (and done it twice) Saints record for most number of games in a row without a win? Was there something about largest number of goals conceded away from home in a calendar year? And something else about most number of points dropped from a winning position?

Yeah I get what you're saying about passion. It's ultimately why we all love this team even though they bring us such heartache. I get Fergie passion, I get Ralph shows passion. I get falling to your knees and crying because you just won the FA Cup Final. I don't get falling to your knees blubbing because you just beat the scousers 1-0 at home. It looked like weakness to me and I'm sure Klopp took it that way. A better show of passion would have been to go up to klopp and tell him this is what you get every time you come here.

When we are playing either klopp or pep he Loses his composure …. Body language is like the the teenage boy around the cool 😎 adult !

Possibly not but I think it's unfair to point out how awful we are for several months at a time without mentioning that we're also brilliant for several months. Like when discussing last season, I don't think it's fair to mention the defeats to Norwich, Watford and Villa without also talking about the away with at Spurs, win against Arsenal and 4 points from the Manchester clubs in total. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands today I don’t see how we are going to see much improvement from the end of last season, especially minus Broja, Forster and Tino. I think he’ll need a relatively good start to keep his job, I can’t see him getting half a season. It did also occur to me that the new assistant maybe a succession plan, a staged handover from Ralph to new bloke as it were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
