Southampton post match thread

This is my point at half time it was a salvageable situation if he wasn't going to bring him on then why have him on the bench.

He probably thought we were so shit it wasn't worth the risk after all.

I'm not asking that you don't criticise as you see fit,however,I am requesting that the language used is civil and constructive.

Good luck.

To bring demichellis on was like waving the white flag!

Fernandinho was awful-looked nailed on for a red card if he'd stayed on. But yeah Martin made me chuckle a few times-which is never a good thing when you are getting hammered.

Fair play but I'm note sure how passionate fans are expected not to use colourful language in describing a performance that has become the norm

Souness made a good point the players always get a pass(it's not like that in Spain) and the manager blamed every time the team fails, when they turn in shocking performances like they have done this year it's not tactics that's the problem.

The manager may not be the whole problem but he is definitely a significant part of the problem with our PL performances.

City ought really to print out this thread, roll it up and shove it up Pellegrini's arse.

Respect is something you earn, our manager is a fraud and is stealing off every city fan, over two years of this crap, all those who have supported him well done, it's all a big jolly at our expense

I have to agree with this. Pellers was found out within one season and we won the premiership under him, due to the need of the players to get revenge on the swamp donkeys. For this and last season, we have been beaten time and time again - and in most cases, have taken a severe beating. Today, once 2-0 down, Pellers did NOTHING to change the set up apart from send Fern back to defence. And Pellers rarely does anything to change the game. He sticks to his tried and failed process of letting the opposition have the ball, not bothering to close down anyone, zonal marking, almost point blank refusal to challenge for the ball on headers and why the feck does he keep playing Stirling out of position!
Nice man - maybe. Convenient stop gap until Pep was available - maybe. Clearly out of his league and he reminds me of Wenger with point blank refusal to take any direct responsibility for his actions.

The same reason marathon runners don't run the distance every week or boxers don't do 12 hard rounds every week.

However, when asked to do a marathon, they do it. Our lot have a habit of walking during one marathon in order to do well in the next one - that's not right.
