Southampton vs WBA - Match Thread

There's very little to add to what has already been said.
That was absolute shite, but even worse it wasn't a surprise. An earlier post suggested Rodriguez was a striker!!! Not in my book, a striker at least hits the target from 10 yards out thought he was he shocking. Having said so was our other so called striker. But with no creativity or pace in midfield I guess it's not easy leading the line.

Sorry for typos, bumpy train.

Paulo Sousa is my preferred choice to replace the dinosaur. His work with Fiorentina was very good and the football would be 500 times better than the current shit. He prefers playing a 4-2-3-1 formation but at Fiorentina he used a interchanging system which was high pressing 4-2-3-1 out of possession which becomes a possession based 3-4-2-1 in possession.

I doubt that he will want to come to us though which is a shame.

He'd definitely get the female fans on side. If he would come then lock up your wives guys. Whistle

I'm not sure what it will take for the club to punt Pulis. He claims to have the support of the owner regarding his evolution! Perhaps when we're in the bottom three then they might act. Let's be honest, they pay no attention to the views of the supporters, their only concern is Premier League money; if that was being seriously threatened perhaps they might act.
According to Pulis our defeat tonight was down to missed chances. Such a comment invites the comment of who was it who signed Rodriguez but it also completely ignores the abject tactics we played during the 90 minutes. Pulis had an opportunity in the last two transfer windows to rectify a glaring need in the squad - decent strikers. Instead he chose to focus on signing three defensive midfielders and one forward (Rodriguez ) whose recent goalscoring record was astonishingly underwhelming.
If the owners and Board choose to keep Pulis I'm sure we'll go down....to be replaced by the Dingles! You couldn't make it up

McInnes, Matzarri, Jokanovic ans Sousa are all options.

Fingers crossed this new owner has the metal to make a hard decision (not hard real) - after all you do t become a super rich business man without having cut out weaknesses before!

That's the straw that broke the camel's back ........
Describing the seemingly minor or routine action (Pulis tactics) which causes an unpredictably large and sudden reaction, (GET PULIS OUT) because of the cumulative effect of small actions. (Not looking like winning )

I said it before the game
No pace, no wingers, 3 Dm's there was only one way this was going, Including the keeper that's a back 8 !!
Why does James mcClean not play? not the most gifted, but always 100%, he's fast , gives his all and on form for Country, 4 goals in 5 I believe ?
Pulis flatters to deceive as a premiership manager. He's got no imagination, no intelligence and, I have to say, no courage. Disappointing tactics as usual but even so some disappointing performances tonight,
Livermore a England international????
Sorry he is a poor imitation of Yacob if you ask me. But then, different tactics could change everything!
Takes Barry off , did he play ? and brings a 37 year old on.
This shit stops now........
Pulis you're killing our club, your killing Football, you're ripping the heart out of everyone who supports our club,
Thank god I have only paid once this season to watch this shit,
Needless to say until TP has gone I will PAY NO MORE Angry

Goodnight TP and turn the lights off on the way OUT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Life was like a box of chocolates Tone, but now we know what to expect,
The Exits that's way .....................

Let's hope so - hate to say it but it's so obviously gone wrong, and is time for a change

Giving TP a new contract is the worst thing that club could have done. Coming off a horrendous end to the season where we picked up 2 points from the final 9 games after we beat Arsenal in the middle of March and then went on to have a shocking preseason, giving him a new contract was a silly move and makes sacking him even harder because there will 20 months to pay off instead of 8. That will cost the club a lot of money.

As for the TP to be sacked rumour, look at the some of the other stuff posted on that website and you'll see it is nothing more than fake news.

All relative tho Josh - 20 months pay off, probably be be a coupla million.....small change compared with buying/paying any player, or, more significantly, PL survival?
