pimpin4rizeal Posted 21 December, 2024 Posted 21 December, 2024 I think the fact that there should be very little pressure here should help Juric immensely .at Roma he came in after a club legend in de Rossi had been sacked and wasn’t a big enough name to appease . So was never wanted a bit like nj here. but following from Russell Martin just not being a stubborn naive philosophy manager and setting up hard to beat will win fans over a lot .. seems like a good appointment for the timing 2

Pamplemousse Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 (edited) We needed a clear change of tactics and we will get this. I suspect the damage is already done but hopefully we can try and get a bit closer to the top of the drop zone. If we can start keeping clean sheets then we have a fighting chance, guaranteed to pick up at least 1 point if we do that. Edited 22 December, 2024 by Pamplemousse 1

Highfield Saint Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 I think there players that are better than their performances under Martin and hopefully the way Ivan plays will suit them better Big Les, TP and maybe ABK for example 3

Chewy Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 Couple of thoughts His first interview ended with him saying the word “premiership”. MLG and his ilk must hate him already. Excellent. ABK - if he doesn’t play within a couple of weeks will we all please finally agree that the issue is ABK and his attitude rather than 4 different sets of managers and coaches? 6 2
trousers Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 (edited) Lots of talk that this could/should mark the end of Stephens being selected regularly, but am I the only one thinking that Jack's 'have a go' attitude could actually be more suited to Juric's more 'rugged' approach to the game? Edited 22 December, 2024 by trousers 2 1

Or, it might be that he would like to play him but it's out of his hands because the club's hierarchy have already decided to offload him on 1st January...? i.e. Juric might have been the manager to turn around ABK's attitude issues but we'll never get to find out... 2 1

I think the starting position should be Stephens isn't captain and isn't played in a unique position just to get him in the side. If we're playing a back 4 and he's not one of our best 2 centre backs he shouldn't be on the pitch. Same if a back 5 and top 3. 2
Mr X Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 Welcome Ivan happy you are here and all the best of luck! ..... You will certainly need it with the task at hand noone is envying you. Couldn't care less about wether it's pretty football right now we just need to become much harder to beat and stop conceding so many goals and build on that!.... This has to be a positive appointment and not yet another SR disaster as they are on borrowed time and are as much to blame as Russell Martin in my opinion! Along with Nathan Jones never a premier league manager. 2

saintant Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 Presume Juric will be watching from the stands and Rusk in the dug-out today as I don't think his work permit/visa was sorted in time?
RedWillie Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 I'm not sure if this is a bat shit crazy appointment or something else, but he's here, he's our manager so I'll back him. ...at least until it goes tit's up again. UTS.

saintant Posted 22 December, 2024 Posted 22 December, 2024 I wonder what he made of that. Guess he'll be pleased with the clean sheet but not much else.

tdmickey3 Posted 23 December, 2024 Posted 23 December, 2024 Welcome Ivan, give it your best shot. Its just a shame the clowns running our club let the utter clown continue with his clueless management for so long and didn't give you a better chance
SaintsFan86 Posted 23 December, 2024 Posted 23 December, 2024 Hopefully Juric has got them in today and running drills hard too.

I do think he's being a little naive about our predicament when he says 'get the points over the next few games' but he's hardly going to say "we're fucked, I'm here for the dosh" so, as you say, he seems like a breath of fresh air right now. Whether he can do anything remotely better than Martin with this squad remains to be seen but that's not exactly a high bar. well it's humble start, but ONE point so far at least. 1

BBC Radio Solent sports editor Adam Blackmore has urged supporters to give Juric "a chance". “People will want to quote his bad spell at Roma or say he hasn't managed in England before” Brownmore appears up his own arse and out of touch with the core support on most things, and always takes the club line to preserve his position and 'contacts'. Everyone I've spoken to seemed pleased to see the back of Martin and has welcomed the arrival of Ivan Juric, in the hope that he has the tools and experience to make Saints competitive again. Then again, a majority would have probably welcomed Ivana Jurex if it meant seeing the back of turgid Rusty! 4

USaintA Posted 23 December, 2024 Posted 23 December, 2024 I saw a comment about our new man which said something like, "Never has there been a manager who looked more like they are wearing a disguise without wearing a disguise." Good luck to him. 2
CSA96 Posted 23 December, 2024 Posted 23 December, 2024 'I had contact two years ago, which was the first time I started thinking about Southampton, but I was the coach of Torino and I stayed there. But I've been watching a lot since then. It was my wish to come here.' 4
