Very likely to happen. The more and more I think of it the more absurd and badly timed it is. Timing couldn't be worse in my opinion. There should be a vocal demonstation of how upset fans are but let's hope the fans don't get on the players backs although I feel this will happen if things aren't going our way. They are preforming admirably and this isn't their fault
Very much agree bronze. My displeasure at the loss of NA is no criticism of the players and I think they will know that of all of us. Our togetherness is still there and was of course largely created by our ex-manager.
You are just such a smug self-satisfied git. Now you can give me a smart-arse reply or ignore me. Either way youn will know you have won because (return to first sentence)
Smug, self satisfied? OK, lol. All that's happened here is, yet again, you fellas have shown all the courage of the Italian Army. It's all based on the assumpton that the players are a bunch of giant grizzling fannies like you. I believe differently. They're professionals, doing a job. They're not going to suddenly turn to **** on account of Adkins leaving. Smart-arse enough for you?
I'm guessing we are going to definitely see a different style of play on Monday if we play! I wonder if he will drop Lambert because maybe he prefers not to play direct. Boruc Clyne Yoshida Hooiveld Shaw Cork Schneiderlin Puncheon Ramirez Guly Rodriguez Don't think the formation will change
In fact, some players may feel they will get a fresh start with a new manager. Sadly, someone like SKD may be on their way out at the end of the season as MP will not have loyalty towards them. Having said that, NA also seemed able to make dfficult decisions.
He won't change too much as he is a learning curve, but the team will miss Nigel's detailed analysis until the manager learns English. There is only so much a translator can get over. Who takes the training now?
. So 30,000 plus Saints fans turn up Monday night like nothings happened.....somehow I don't think that's going to happen. With reference to your IMPRESSIVE first response.......your either very smug or very f**king stupid.
Having read about Pochettino online, key points are: Very organised Likes to attack, but won't be blinded by that desire Plays a high defensive line Insists on pressuring the ball, even in the highest areas of the pitch Does sometimes play out from the back, but won't insist on it
Well, I was wrong about the weather [I'd made it clear to friends that I thought we'd get a few flakes, but that would be about it in total], but I noticed in all the pictures of Vegard Forren and the interview with Pochettino that there is something protecting the pitch from snow and freezing. I wonder whether Nicola has got around to getting the under-pitch heating sorted..?
Does sound very impressive, interested to see if he makes any immediate changes for Mondays game. I'm wondering why we couldn't have waited a few days until after Monday's game to change manager?
Maybe thats why he had his picutre taken there lol just to show us there is no chance of Mondays game being prosponed!
Wouldn't mind doing that and bringing Lambert off the bench to hit them like a ton of bricks like he did the other day. I doubt we'll do anything radcally different to what NA had planned since he hasn't had much time.
Can't see him dropping Lambert, He knows he has to win the fans and removing the top scorer and club hero is not a good way to start.
This could be an interesting game and I am surprised that Cortese has replaced him at this time. It gives the cameras a chance to put undue pressure on Pinocchio for his first game, not sure I want the footballing world to see the backlash when Everton take the lead. In Nigel we trust.
