    Yep I've been saying for 2 years now we need another forward (since the season when we went into January in 4th). I made FLT look like the head of Pelle fan club with my dislike for Pelle as a player, but I didn't want to get rid of him and replace him with nobody

    I thought that the Referee was hopeless, but we gave him plenty of opportunity to be poor. He had no option with VVD though.

    Sorry but somehow I can't ever see this squad of players beating Liverpool even with my super Squinted Saints rose tinted glasses on.
    Too slow,too predictable,too dull.
    God it's like watching paint dry.

    He probably has an input but it's clear that all our signings are identified well before Puel was even here. That is the point of the black box.

    Were Spain fans demanding a striker the instant they stopped winning?

    God that was a dire game. It's good to see some balanced arguments but we were ****ing awful.

    I know pulis teams are organised and hard to beat but we really should be doing better. If puel plans to rotate like this he needs to get full backs and attacking mids to communicate and understand.

    I don't think I saw one overlap, tadic was poor martina was rubbish going forward, McQueen has not been working with boufal going forward.

    On paper that team should have won.

    You prove my point. A couple of quality players stop us all from seeing how bad the actual football is. West Ham fans wanted Sam out even though he got them promoted and had them a (top) mid table side.

    Not my favourite bunch of fans but they saw the problems even when the results were coming.

    I would give it a go, but I have only ever done 1 match thread, it involved some Danish postmen coming to St Marys, and so for that reason... I'm out.

    If at first you don't succeed, do it again and get it right this time!

    A snippet on Saints, A smaller snippet on our opposition followed by an in depth history and anlaysis of the referee. Lol. Go for it Tom. We're all game for that..........and it will make a change and distract us from the gloom.

    Ian, pipe down with your bollocks will you. Puel is a very good manager but only has what he has to utilise. It's obvious the Board ****ed up signings in the summer, and we are looking at buying in January. Would Puel have more credibility with you if he announced to the Echo he was looking for a player...

    Seems better if you just think it through.

    Fine. You're probably right. But if you're not, and we beat Liverpool over two legs, will you be on here admitting that your pessimism was misplaced?

    Yeah we lost.but im far from calling for the managers head. Im convinced we need a starting eleven.with that we will not look like a team of strangers.keep hope.
