My lasting impression of Martinez is him grinning away after we smashed Wigan 9-1.
A wet blanket of a man.

Fuck sake man, get a grip.

I’m ready to push the reset button again. I would be so happy playing Europa league for the next few years if we had a young progressive manager with exciting ideas that played an aggressive style of football. A clear vision with something to build towards.
I was ecstatic with Poch’s first season even when we missed out on CL. I was happy going in to the following season thinking we would just finish top 6 again, was not expecting to be in a title race.
I just want an identity back. We don’t need to be perfect to start off with, but we have to be building towards something.
Jose has been a terrible appointment, I hope levy has the balls to pull the trigger.

My guess is it's probably that you have a deep-rooted dislike of his dress sense.............
Pochettino definitely had a better squad at Southampton than Potter has at Brighton. No questions about it.
I can't think of a single Brighton player who gets in their line up - perhaps Bissouma and Lamptey. And even then, Clyne was excellent under Pochettino. Him and Shaw were two of the best performing full backs in the country.
Yes, we can look back in hindsight and say Lovren and Schneiderlin are both poor and were made to look better in his system - but it still worked. And both still forged Premier League careers beyond that Southamton team at far bigger clubs.
Potter for me would be a similar risk to Pochettino in 2014.
BUT
We are a much bigger club now than we were in 2014 - so Nagelsman would have to be the choice. I don't think we can really afford to take a risk with a manager in the second half of the Premier League table when we're trying to get onto the next level.
Even if I do feel Potter would do great things here.
Levy picking a new manager
I've heard of seafood disagreeing with some people but this is ridiculous.
Part of the problem is we get ahead of our station.
Jol and Redknapp should never have been sacked, but we thought we were Billy Big Club.
Some will argue for Poch too but for me he wasn’t far off from what we saw the other night, and had clearly lost the players and if we’re honest, he had fallen out of love with it here. He had to go.
Jose I’ve defended, but it’s tested my patience and I was fuming when I saw Son as a striker and Vinny benched despite Kane’s injury.
It’s not even like Kane has deserved to play 90 minutes every week so why the fuck Vinny can’t start when Kane’s out is beyond me.
One minute you couldn’t get Moura off the pitch, the next he’s dropped and we’ve got fucking Sissoko and Davies as wingers. Hahahahahahaha
The next manager simply needs to play square pegs in square holes.
Football isn’t complicated unless you make it so.
Having watched even his good Chelsea and Madrid side and watched him on the sideline closely, I honestly don't think he has a fucking clue how to coach attacking football and he never has. He delegate's attacking movement to a proxy on the pitch that effectively defines the pattern: Deco, Cole,Sniejder, Fabregas, Mata. All way more experienced than the only lad we have who can do this (N'dombele ) Kane has also been forced backwards to give a hand. Then he obsessively drills the defence and waits for his oponents to make an error. The modern game is way more drilled in both the attacking and defensive thirds, his act is old and has been left behind. Apologies in advance to his followers I don't like hurting you.And to be fair, that was the only acceptable response after Chelski. Better against West Brom and an aggressive line up against Man City.
I don't really blame him for City. He picked an attacking line up but they just had too much everywhere for us which is a worry but also not a worry when you look at the spend.
I agree with you that front foot is not really his style and is extremely unlikely to shape our "style".
It has been said many times. If he brings trophies then everyone will "accept" the manner in which it's done. I don't believe that. I don't accept that.
Do Harry Kane's comments count as a "vote of confidence"
The guy in charge has shown absolutely nothing to indicate he can pull this out at all.
A glorified PE teacher would be a massive upgrade on the useless cunt we currently have.
Southampton are 14th in the league, you're just spewing nonsense as usual.
These must be trying times for you, what with us scoring 13 goals and only conceding one in our past four games.
It’s a bit of a false one though. If they had 2, maybe even one player who could finish they would be at least top half if not near or above us. They out play almost everyone and create tons of chances with a well coached system and good style of play, like Poch at Saints but with much worse players.
The potential with Potter is good and his performance in Sweden taking a nobody team into Europe was outstanding. He will manage a big club whether it be us or someone else.
