SaintAndyB Posted 27 January, 2015 Share Posted 27 January, 2015 I feel bad for Sadio but this really is good news for us. During the palace game I thought we really lacked the pace and attacking edge- particularly in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintmike5 Posted 27 January, 2015 Share Posted 27 January, 2015 With Long out I expect we'll do everything we can to get Mane ready to play a part on Sunday, agree it will prolly be from the bench if at all though with Elia keeping his place in the XI.

benjii Posted 27 January, 2015 Share Posted 27 January, 2015 I don't see why he shouldn't be in the squad on Sunday if we want him to come back in short order. He can get a night flight tomorrow to London via Madrid. Chill/sleep on Thursday then training on Fri and Sat. It's not as though he's been sat on his arse, he's been in a tournament so coming back after two days training shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 27 January, 2015 Share Posted 27 January, 2015 With the exception of training and traveling he's only played 65mins for them this month. He will be in the squad for Sunday and that's a huge lift for the team. What about the 90 mins he played against South Africa last Friday? Don't they count?

whelk Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 He should be fine. Under 7 hr flight and samish time zone (+1hr). Slightly colder I'll grant you.

saint si Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 FIFA should have had this properly nailed down for years but are obviously too busy worrying about politics. IMHO if a player withdraws from an international competition through injury they shouldn't be allowed to participate in domestic fixtures until the international tournament is over (or until their team is knocked out at any rate). Otherwise this kind of crap is just going to keep on happening with the "non-summer" continental tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand this perspective. This isn't a case of the player complaining he's too tired, or too jet lagged to want to play. This will be sports scientists ruling that he's not at peak condition, so when playing against elite athletes who are in peak condition, he may well under perform.

Lap it up Since we don't know when we are going to be relegated next, it is kind of difficult to predict why. That being said, I will boldly predict that the next time Southampton gets relegated it will be because we have stopped doing certain things we are now doing or failed to start doing new things that we should have realized needed to be done. And good sports science might be one or both of those things. But it might not. Also, I think vacuumed microfibers might also be bad for the lungs.
