Southampton pre match

Apart from early defensive lapses, we played fairly well against Burnley.

 

At some point, we are due for it all to click into place, or just to finally get some luck, and give some poor team a hiding.

 

Having said that, Puel will again pick Wes Morgan, we will concede after 38 minutes from a sloppy mistake, then this place will be covered in white brain matter after several “Puel Out” heads explode in the match thread, and then Vardy will grab a late equaliser and the Happy Clappers like me will point out that we are a side in transition and Puel should stay and Wes should keep his place on the statue.

 

1-1 - Nobody goes home happy.

Yeah but the players will never take their share of the blame because theyve won a Premier League and Puel hasnt.

 

Claude Puel cant go out on the field and head a corner away like we should have done today and let their guy have a run and jump to nod it in. Hes consistently said in his interviews he wants quality, he wants tempo, he wants to see passing and movement.

 

And we do not see it often enough.

 

Mentally, when the going is anything remotely difficult, this group of players simply dont want to know. they dont want to fight. They dont want to do the ugly things, and they havent for three managers since winning the title.

 

We take the easy route of blaming the manager for everything thats wrong, and frankly anyone would be in this position at the moment. Take some fvcking responsibility for why YOU cant head a corner away. Take some responsibility why YOU arent passing and moving like the manager wants, take some responsibility for why YOU are riddled with mistakes Morgan when the manager has shown faith in you.

 

It embarrases me. Professional footballers who dont want to improve, dont want to adapt, dont want to defend, dont want to pass the fvcking ball for gods sake.

 

It embarrases me how they can decide at the flick of a switch we want a manager sacked. Theyd do it again for the next guy if they didnt like him.

I've kind of bought into all of this now. Wasn't having it when Ranieri got the boot (and to be honest, still think Ranieri was largely at fault) but the players shouldn't be getting away with this anymore. There's a common denominator here. We need to be ruthless this summer. I'd happily sell a sizeable number of them.

I would never wish injury on a player but if Kasper is not fit enough to play on Thursday, then I hope Jako/Hamer come in and have the game of their life and keep him on the bench for the rest of the season. We all know that’ll never happen though. I’m sick to the back teeth of Schmeichel, Simpson and Morgan and they all need consigning to the bin - just my opinion of course.

I am firmly in the give 'Puel time' camp. But if he selects Simpson and Morgan and we lose, he may be in a very sticky place come Friday and he would have brought it on all himself.

I think iheanacho needs more game time with diabate they play well together. 

 

Mahrez is mahrez and has to play and gray is playing ok. So we probably have to drop Silva and play Ndidi with Choudhury in a 4-2-3-1 with 2 DMs to try and stop conceding so many sloppy goals.

Why?We might as well send him to sit in an Airport now and play players who will be here next season.

This will be the ultimate embarrassment losing at home to this lot. 

I was in Harlow for cup replay and that was quite embarrassing at the time, but you have made an equally valid statement.

Ditto.



Also, whilst we're talking about this criteria and pattern we seem to have established for firing managers. Liverpool, a club that dwarfes us historically and presently - have shown faith in Jurgen Klopp for 3 years even though he's hardly set the world on fire until this season. But clearly they can see the bigger picture there and accept that a manager needs time to re-build and re-invent a team until they can pull of what he wants. I don't think too many would disagree that they are going to take some beating next season, put it that way.

So whilst I'm not expecting us to mirror Liverpool's style, we at least need to give Puel the chance this summer to get in the players he needs to execute his style of play and get rid of those who simply down tools because they can't pull it off.

I don't think we will see Schmeichel play this game after the knock he got against Burnley, Puel seems to prefer Hamer over Jakupovic with him always being the choice for the benched keeper, so probably will see him start.

Not won at home in so long

So it's about the right time we give them a hand.

 

I thought you were talking about them.

Jakupovic was on the Bench vs Newcastle and a few games before that, he's been rotating them

After jakupovic shipped four today for the U23’s I expect hamer will be in goal on Thursday. 

 

With nothing to play for, kasper will not be risked if it turns out that he has a significant injury and a chance to recover for his World Cup campaign

I think where this differs from Ranieri is we aren’t seeing batshit crazy formations. We are scoring goals as well. It’s the defensive lapses in concentration really costing us. 

 

Saturday one player as to take that corner situation and say that’s my ball. As simple as that.

For me, really about next season now. So give the lads with a future here some game time. Southampton are on the brink and must come out fighting. We need some courage and work rate ourselves to match them otherwise could see us going behind first again. With Kaspers knock, it's a good time to give Jakapovic a Premier League start. The lads in our Premier 2 team deserve to be in the mix for the last five games. I would go along the lines of:

 

GK: Jakapovic

 

DR: Johnson

DC: Dragovic

DC: Maguire

DL: Chilwell

 

MC: Ndidi

MC: Silva

 

RW: Albrighton

LW: Gray

 

ST: Iheanacho

 

ST: Vardy

 

Subs: Hamer, Knight, Fuchs, Choudrey, Diabate, Barnes, Thomas.
