Saint Garrett Posted 7 March, 2013 Share Posted 7 March, 2013 I like your optimism Quick question (unrelated to above) did you guys watch the QPR game? Yup. I also watched the Man City game. One result doesnt suddenly make us a sh!t side. And they have very little pace and thats what seems to hurt us the most. I don't think they're great despite being a very hardworking side. All comes down to whether we take our chances or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 7 March, 2013 Share Posted 7 March, 2013 i have a gut feeling for a 2-0 win. i also had a gut feeling we would lose against QPR so hopefully my gut instinct proves correct again. however if we play lallana, puncheon and ramirez behind lambert we wont win. need jrod in there to offer pace and make those runs into the channel to free up lambert. boruc clyne fonte yoshida shaw cork morgan puncheon lallana jrod lambert subs - davis, richardson, forren, davis, ramirez, rowe, mayuka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 7 March, 2013 Share Posted 7 March, 2013 (edited) When is press conf. for this game? Today. Lallana trained as have all other injured players. @SouthamptonFC: Pochettino: "I try to analyse things objectively, and I think the team has deserved more than one win from these last six games." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: Pochettino: "For me, the @premierleague is one of the most competitive leagues in the world. I'd never underestimate it." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "There's a reality in front of us in terms of the points we have. We need as many as possible to avoid a relegation fight." #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC: MP: "The team can play good and attractive football, and the closest way to getting more victories is on the path that we're on." #saintsfc Edited 7 March, 2013 by Saint Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanW Posted 7 March, 2013 Share Posted 7 March, 2013 De Ridder back - couldnt even get a game for Bolton. It is bad mojo to spread lies. Started against Forest. Started against Burnley. Subbed against Watford. Three games is a lot more than zero games. Regardless, he didn't play in the last few games, and clearly they weren't enamored with him, either.

Dark Munster Posted 7 March, 2013 Share Posted 7 March, 2013 http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/article/165/8544492/norwich-value-on-crunch-saturday When I began researching this game, I did so expecting to confirm a suspicion that the prices are correct in making Norwich marginal favourites in a hard-to-call contest on the grounds that they're at home. However, closer inspection reveals information which I think makes the hosts worth a good bet at close to 6/4. For all the praise Southampton have received both before and since the departure of Nigel Adkins, they're won just two of their last 13 games in all competitions. That one of those was a superb 3-1 dismissal of current Premier League title holders Manchester City explains the media admiration for a side whose overall form doesn't entitle them to be just 2/1 to win at Norwich. Of particular concern to supporters must be Saturday's defeat to QPR, but the concession of four goals to Newcastle prior to that also rates a worry and Norwich have enough about them to contain easy-on-the-eye Southampton before pouncing for three points. The Canaries have played 11 Premier League games at Carrow Road since losing 5-2 to Liverpool in September, and they've won six of them. Yes, most came during a fine winter run but a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Everton last time could provide the platform for another. In addition, even when they've failed to win Norwich have still impressed, with narrow defeats to the likes of Chelsea and Man City plus a draw with Spurs. Put simply, over the last three months if you'd backed Norwich in games like this you'd be well in front and there's no reason not to do so at the price. Verdict: Norwich 2 Southampton 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 7 March, 2013 Share Posted 7 March, 2013 A return for Davis in place of Ramirez is a no-brainer for me. Hopefully Shaw will be back to full fitness; we need a fox-less 90 minutes. For the back four, I hope Hooiveld isn't out for too long. Yoshida and Jos had built a good partnership, Jos's bravery ahead of Fonte's culture would have served us well last saturday, I can see Norwich playing in a similar style, trying to pick us off on the break. A point would be valuable, a win utterly sensational. I predict 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's got better and has grown into the side, but his game I feel will always have some pretty big flaws - i.e physicality and distribution. In terms of Reading the game he's probably the best we've got, but IMO he's someone we need to upgrade on in the summer if we want to really push on.
