Norwich v Southampton match thread

He needs to fire some rockets up arses, and perhaps look at himself too.

In Ron we trust.

Look on the bright side - at least you got your prediction right…

Can I just add this to a post I made yesterday.

L

and I’m not happy.

Saw somewhere else that Mane has slapped in a transfer request, not sure how much water that holds but…

Oh god no!

Meh, I just see it as the silly season and people putting 2 & 2 together…

Let the fucker go. If he has such little respect for the club and manager that he can’t get to meetings on time then he can fuck off as far as I’m concerned. It’s not as if he’s dragging us up the table as it is. Let him go, along with Wanyama and let’s start playing properly.

Oh no - this makes me so sad. Koeman really pissed off with Mane and Wanyama:

Yep, saw his interview last night on MOTD (imagine it will be on the bbc site now) and he was seriously pissed off with both of them.

I think there may well be a heated meeting today!

Knuckle down or fuck off.

I avoided it until now, but it’s pretty depressing watching:

Though at least Koeman is open about it - it sort of makes the anxiety a bit easier when you have a better sense of what’s going on behind the scenes.

Makes me wonder how much the bad behaviour of Lallana set the scene for other players at the club - he got away with it so why not try our luck. I can’t see this issue on this scale at other clubs.

Big challenge. Not sure I know what the answer is really. But it makes me feel bloody sad.

An excellent analysis of the situation.

Particularly his insight into how the mental situation following recent form meant that we aren’t able to get back into games like we used to.

Yes, player bullshit you can solve. But the confidence issue, not so easy. This really is a test of Koeman’s ability. I think he’s fighting something bigger than just the team.

I didn’t realise you worked for Saints FC, Fatso.

The more I see of Mane and Wanyama the more I am impressed with Morgan Schneiderlin.

Lallana faded in his last games for us, Lovren went looking for his head, Clyne disappeared completely - even Pochettino didn’t care in his last few months.

But Morgan got his head down and showed us what a model professional looks like.

FWIW Shearer and Le Saux were 100% in agreement with RK last night, i.e. you must have players following rules no matter who they are or how important they are.

Still can’t quite organise my thoughts - too clouded by anger.

Had intended to stay up in Norwich but jumped straight in the car and ploughed home. Got back about 9pm.

I’m normally more pragmatic than this but have had a testing few days away from football and Saints can just fuck off at the moment.

Vic can, despite his apology, fuck right off.
