RALPH Hasenhuttl has been a popular discussion point once again following the 2-2 draw with Burnley.
Saints' fans were left disappointed that they weren't going home with all three points having lead the visitors in the second-half through Armando Broja.
As always, team tactics and player selections are at the forefront of discussion.
Here's what Saints supporters are saying...
Our Daily Echo readers said:
UrSaint: "I have read here ever so often "I like Ralph but .." , "Ralph could be a good manager, but ...". Liking is no category in business. Could is not an appropriate term in business."
I.wozthere: "We've a decent group at the moment, but his selections constantly leave me mystified."
Frankie Bennett: "Ralph didn't react to Dyche again yesterday when he nullified our threat down the right in the second half. Frustrating? Yes. End of the world? No."
canadasaint: "I actually agree with Ralph's selection of Walcott for starting 11, his runs create space for others to play in. The problem is he should be subbed 10 minutes after half to bring on Stu."
Tazardly: "A good team picks itself, from Shankly, Ralph is tinkering when settled side and the 6th sense it brings are essential."
Ian Byrne: "Forget the result.. at last we had an entertaining game with a few goals and action at both ends of the pitch. Hasslehuttls football has been boring and negative for too long .. just attack and entertain."
Mr. Profit of Rage: "Great managers do come to Saints. Weve had a few, no? It's keeping them at St Mary's that's the problem. You need to identify your target, and strike when the iron's hot. Pochettino, Koeman, for eg. That said, I'm not sure Saints want Ralph out, at all. Some fans do, some don't. It's a costly messy business better done at the end of a season- as long as it isn't an emergency."

There is lot of #SaintsFC fans not happy with the team selection that Ralph put out last weekend.

But I think it was a good team we should have been 3 or 4 up at half time we just need to be more clinical.
Some #saintsfc fans would defend Ralph if we lost 9-0 yet again, some would criticise Ralph if we won. It’s weird. I’d rather replace him but no real decent candidates we could get with £0. May as well stick with him.

These last 2 home games against Leeds and Burnley were literally gift wrapped for Ralph to prove he's the right man to lead us, and he hasn't delivered. #Saintsfc

We are never going to progress under an owner who doesn’t invest (thanks for lying Kat) and a manager who has one of the worst records in the league but stays in his job regardless of results.

The squad is better than what Ralph is achieving #saintsfc
Very Poor result today, no excuses not to beat a bad Burnley team.

Always said I would judge Ralph after the Norwich game, but today is 2 points dropped.
Need 6 points minimum from the next 3 games. #SaintsFC
Ralph is very lucky that he has an owner with absolutely no ambition of driving the club forward. That being said his only saving grace is that we have taken more points from these fixtures this season than we did last so at least there has been some improvement #saintsfc

I get why people are annoyed but as a #saintsfc fan of 40 years i knew we weren’t winning today, 4 points from Leeds/Burnley is acceptable, relax we aint getting top half but we aint going down get behind Ralph and the team 🙌😎

Can someone please tell me why Ralph still plays Redmond and Walcott #SaintsFC
