Any chance you could interview some guys with half a brain and a vocabulary that stretches beyond profanities. I don't know who that clown was that you interviewed but surely you can do better than that by interviewing a few 5 year olds.

I tend to think now that our players are being treated too nicely by the manager and treated unfairly by the system. For one, this rotation policy has let in players that may not have been in form or ready to play. Shane Long losing his place to, the just back from injury, Jay Rod messes up any solidity in the team. I then look at something Jose Mourinho recently said: "Playing to win, having the responsibility to win, and coping with the pressure of winning is something that has to belong to your natural habitat". These thoughts are what I feel Puel is missing. Like or loathe Mourinho, I believe he knows what he wants and is being hard on his players because he knows any player needs this mentality to be a winner. Are the Saints players really playing for places at times with this rotation?

I also look at Ronald Koeman with Ross Barkley. The way it came across that he was aware Barkley had talent but had to prove it. Barkley was maybe on the verge of leaving but realised that this manager was actually drilling into him that he had more in his locker. I feel, this is what you get from great managers, you do not just pick teams. A manager actually can be working with rough diamonds. For example, Nathan Redman certainly has talent but how is he being told this and how is he being managed? Puel needs to manage these players and get the best out of them.

Furthermore, Conte’s Chelsea system is showing his players to their best abilities but where’s Puel’s. If Puel wants the best out of Manolo Gabbiadini, he needs a unit that works to give Monolo these chances, not change things around next game. Our manager, I feel puts out teams, not a team playing to each of their individual strengths at times. Where is the cohesion? Moreover, where is the Sutton and Shearer or the Beardsley and Cole combination, for instance? Do you see any two or three players having that telepathic and obvious love of playing together where they know they can produce magic for themselves and fans alike. Again, rotation drags this away.

The potential, and so much more, is there and we (fans) must believe it is there, so Puel it is time to roll up those sleeves and get down to work and fans to sing about it.
