LGTL Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 Boruc Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw Wanyama Morgan JWP Lallana J Rod Lambert I originally wanted Osvaldo to start but think i've changed my mind.
sandwichsaint Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 From that post i'm guessing you don't rate Wanyama? Reel 'em in, I love big Vic. I was digging at Batman's sensationalism (almost Alpine-esque at times) to see a negative in every positive. Unless I've been whooshed? Wanyama may very well pick up a suspension at some stage, it goes with the territory, but till then 'together as one' yes?

Wanyama will most likely pick up a booking in the next game or two. We give away loads of fouls. It's our style. It's good to know cork (a quality player) is ready to step in. How was that sensationalist?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 As Shaw and Lovren are fit, who gets the pre match blame for the potential defeat? Osvaldo i guess?
Saint_clark Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 As Shaw and Lovren are fit, who gets the pre match blame for the potential defeat? Osvaldo i guess? Boruc, duh.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Boruc, duh. Nah! still love by most.....it will be Osvaldo...
Crab Lungs Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Great players, but they're not a great team. We'll lose by an odd goal but we'll have more than enough of the game to warrant a point.
UpweySaint Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Nah! still love by most.....it will be Osvaldo... Surely it depends who is officiating?!
Saint_Tony Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Will be another defeat, we will start to slide down the table. As long as everyone keeps some persective and realises we won't finish in the top 6 it will be fine
THEVMAN Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 AL hasn't trained much this week(groin) and may not start,depends on what MP thinks with a busy week coming up
Wiggles31 Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 AL hasn't trained much this week(groin) and may not start,depends on what MP thinks with a busy week coming up Thanks for the info. Will be a shame to lose AL but we have 3 games in 6 days to think about. Davis would be the likely replacement.
beatlesaint Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 AL hasn't trained much this week(groin) and may not start,depends on what MP thinks with a busy week coming up I would rather he played the two home games to be honest.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 AL hasn't trained much this week(groin) and may not start,depends on what MP thinks with a busy week coming up Lovren definitely back?
badgerx16 Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Will be another defeat, we will start to slide down the table. As long as everyone keeps some persective and realises we won't finish in the top 6 it will be fine Remind me, what was the corresponding result last season ?
Saint_Tony Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 2-2 I believe. Completely irrelevant to tomorrow
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 If Lallana's playing, I'd go with Osvaldo up top. If he isn't, I'd go with Lambert.
Olallana Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Who will smile after the game tomorrow....
Saint Garrett Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Ah buzzing now, just love watching us play. Sing your heart's out!! COYS!!!
svetigpung Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Thanks for the info. Will be a shame to lose AL but we have 3 games in 6 days to think about. Davis would be the likely replacement. Maybe a bit of squad rotation needed the coming week. Not worried about the midfield or attack. Defensively we have very few (decent) alternatives. Dont see Shaw playing three games in quick succession, unfortunately. I would give Oswaldo 90 mins today for him to get his season up and rolling. He needs it and we will need him during the season. Chelsea away will probably suit him. Hope he can put JT on his arse.
Olallana Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Sunday supplement will talk about this game shortly! http://www.btsportshd.com/skysports1.php
Sheaf Saint Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25074373 Southampton have just started to struggle a little after such a great first third to the season. They couldn't hit a barn door at Stoke, where they dominated possession as they had done in all but two of their games so far. Sunderland knocked them out of the League Cup and though they regained their zest at home to a poor Hull side that day, Saints were well beaten at Arsenal. Were we well beaten at Arsenal? Well the scoreline suggests so, but the reality was somewhat different. I thought we did a very good job of containing them and they only scored thanks to a suicidal piece of goalkeeping and a penalty that 99 times out of 100 wouldn't have been given. Arsenal are the real deal this season. The table doesn't lie and the 7-point gap they have opened up at the top this weekend is no fluke. With our regular first eleven I firmly believe we would have got a better result against them, which is why I am confident that we can get a result at Chelsea today because they have been hit and miss so far this season (despite sitting 3rd currently) and are a lesser team than Arsenal IMO.
DuncanRG Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Any more info on Lallana's fitness? BBC hasn't mentioned him being out.

James Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 If Lallana is fit I'd go: Boruc Clyne Lovren Fonte Shaw Wanyama Morgan JWP Lallana JRod Osvaldo If not: Boruc Clyne Lovren Fonte Shaw Wanyama Morgan JWP Davis JRod Lambert
Miltonaggro Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Total horse manure from the BBC. It is indeed, Pearce and Lawrenson are the Laurel and Hardy of football journalism...
Coxford_lou Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 It is indeed, Pearce and Lawrenson are the Laurel and Hardy of football journalism... They really do need to it shake up. They come across as old fashioned, and establishment. Missing out on the fun of football. Bit like Barry really.
Dr Who? Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 As Shaw and Lovren are fit, who gets the pre match blame for the potential defeat? Osvaldo i guess? Lambert will, or wanyama for giving the ball away. I think we can win this!

Lighthouse Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 A draw for Spuds and Utd keeps them both below us. The Sky tater seemed to think we could drop to 9th if both teams won that game. Not sure how that works. In other news Moses starts in place of the injured Sturridge. The pundits seem obsessed with the phrase, "SAS partnership" normally but not one mention of Liverpool's "S&M partnership" so far today.
NewYorkSaint Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Was worried by reports of Lallana's groin injury. But here he is in tracksuit being interviewed ahead of the game...
Saint_clark Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 I know Lambert had a poor game V Arsenal, but I can't help feeling it was because that was a game that required mobility. In this game you're up against Terry and Cahill who are more of a physical centre back pairing. We shall see.
Saint_clark Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 No Ramirez again then.... And 3 defenders instead. Very odd.
Lighthouse Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Like the look of the first 11 but theres not much on the bench to change things on the bench if it's not going well. I can only assume Gaston's future now lies away from SFC as he is regularly failing to make the match day 18 (unless he has a serious injury I don't know about). Would have been nice to see someone like Isgrove or Reed on the bench as I don't see the need for Jos and Yoshi to both be there.
itchen_dan Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Only issue with that lot is the 1 outright attacking option (Lambert) on the bench. Davis can go forward but isn't naturally attack minded.
colman1860 Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Essien, Ramires, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Torres Had hoped Mourinho would continue his silliness with Mata on the bench...

JoeShmoe Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 No Ramirez again then.... He wont play for us again, think that's odds on now
itchen_dan Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 apart from rickie lambrt? That's what I meant, see edit.

Only issue with that lot is the 1 outright attacking option (Lambert) on the bench. Davis can go forward but isn't naturally attack minded. I would say Davis is definitely attack minded.
Lighthouse Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Lambert came off the bench and scored last season. I said not much, not nothing. Lambert is indeed a good payer to have on the bench but I'd prefer to have 3 or 4 to go with the keeper and a couple of defenders. Cork, Jos, Yoshi and Chambers aren't going to change anything if we're losing. Davis is a hard worker but is hardly one to unlock defences.
Manuel Posted 1 December, 2013 Posted 1 December, 2013 Lost Luke Shaw for a moment, I see he's there now. Great looking line-up.
