Because it leaves us wide open to counter-attack. Salisu on the wing and ABK in the box, one long punt from from their defender or throw from the keeper and we're all at sea. So weird how we are so eager to get the ball in the box from a throw in, but we can't seem to do it from open play. We'd rather just pass it from one side of the pitch to the other.
Personally I’m looking forward to the meltdown when we appoint Gareth Southgate after England fail to get out of the group.
Bloody hell I remember in the 90s watching Saints dodge relegation every season, thinking, oh well at least England are good. They'll win something soon enough.
You've just reminded me I recorded that Italia 90 programme the other night, I can watch that instead of Motd. I still remember the drunken tube journey home after the Germany game. Still hurts, in fact, but not as much as Gert Muller in 1970 does.
**** I agree with Robbie Savage. 'Nonsense' - Robbie Savage reacts to reports of Ralph Hasenhuttl sack decision from Southampton - HampshireLive
Savage and Sutton wouldn’t tolerate the form we have put up with if it was Macclesfield or Norwich, so it’s rich for them to come out with this. Ralph has had to manage under some tough conditions and leaves with the utmost respect from me, but it is very obviously not working anymore here and I think a split could be mutually beneficial. The reality is that being a manager of a mid/lower PL Team for nearly four years is quite an achievement, you usually either excel and get poached or you fail and get sacked within a couple of season, for the vast majority it is the latter.
I had a new experience today. I watched the game on Sky, there was shot of Ralph on the touchline looking slightly lost in the rain and I just felt sorry for the man. Never had that with a manager before. There's no question he needs to go but I hope the last few years haven't permanently broken him and he goes on to better things, whether in football or retirement.
Ralph is like the new girl that you always fancied and would do anything you wanted and then it just got boring and she got fat.
It’s more the reason behind them: because we can’t get through a defence with the ball on the ground.
Don’t worry lads. Playing us next, we love giving teams at the bottom a helping hand after beating top team. beat city lose to forest and leeds beat spurs lose to saints?
