Batman Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 Swansea surely you really think he is going to play sunday. when he probably wont be back in training until thursday, probably friday?
cellone Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 you really think he is going to play sunday. when he probably wont be back in training until thursday, probably friday? So he definitely won't be?
Batman Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 So he definitely won't be? Not IMO Bench at best
saint77 Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 No different to when he played on Wednesday in November and played on Saturday
Bobbyboy Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 Is he still injured? I recall our definition of 'injured and unavailable' was different from Senegal's definition.
Batman Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 No different to when he played on Wednesday in November and played on Saturday alright, we will see
cellone Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 Senegal have just gone out of the cup. Bit different.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 Pretty sure he would be on the bench. Great option.
doddisalegend Posted 27 January, 2015 Author Posted 27 January, 2015 Not IMO Bench at best Would like to have him on the bench if possible.
beatlesaint Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 Game being on Sunday is a bonus, I would be surprised if he isn't on the bench, will be back Friday surely ?
trousers Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 Can't see any reason why he won't be in the squad for the Swansea game. I assume someone's booking a flight for him as we speak....?!
JRM Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 Can't see any reason why he won't be in the squad for the Swansea game. I assume someone's booking a flight for him as we speak....?! There's not another flight scheduled from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton Airport until next week unfortunately
SaintAndyB Posted 27 January, 2015 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.
Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 There's not another flight scheduled from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton Airport until next week unfortunately He doesn't need to go direct from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton.
Batman Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 He doesn't need to go direct from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton. Never knew that!!
Saintmike5 Posted 27 January, 2015 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.
View From The Top Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 He doesn't need to go direct from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton. Whooooooooooosh.
View From The Top Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 I would imagine the club will go all out to get him back in time for Sunday.
redder freak Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 he's coming home. football's coming home
benjii Posted 27 January, 2015 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.
Mattio Posted 27 January, 2015 Posted 27 January, 2015 He doesn't need to go direct from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton.
Lets B Avenue Posted 27 January, 2015 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?
Downthe36 Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 He doesn't need to go direct from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton.
Redslo Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 I have removed this post because I was just causing trouble and I am not sure it was even funny.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Yep, Mane has been on fire in his international appearances...so many assists and goals...he's going to come back and go straight into the team and be the saviour. Meanwhile, back in the real world...
hutch Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 There's not another flight scheduled from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton Airport until next week unfortunately Idiot. He'll get the next flight to Bournemouth and come up on the train.
whelk Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 He should be fine. Under 7 hr flight and samish time zone (+1hr). Slightly colder I'll grant you. I swear we've all been brainwashed into believing fatigue of the modern player - not being able to play 2 games in week and needing recovery time spending a few hours in first class on a flight.
doddisalegend Posted 28 January, 2015 Author Posted 28 January, 2015 Yep, Mane has been on fire in his international appearances...so many assists and goals...he's going to come back and go straight into the team and be the saviour. Meanwhile, back in the real world... Saviour from what? do we need saving from being 3rd?
Andy Durman Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 We need attacking options. We are creating very little. Momentum is key.
gary3009 Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Because the likes of Bony has been on fire? A fully fit £30m Bony i should add? Mane has looked lively and we could do with the buzz he creates in the final months of the season
Saint_Tony Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 I imagine he'll make the bench at best, I'm sure RoKo hasn't considered him in his plans for the game anyway
david in sweden Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Is he still injured? I recall our definition of 'injured and unavailable' was different from Senegal's definition. I think that the Senegales ' definition of " being fit " probably differs somewhat from that normally required in the Prem *. I do hope that Mane's outing(s) for Senegal haven't made his injury worse.... otherwise we'll be without him for a while longer. Quote from Alan Shearer * (in his playing days) ..." there's a lot of difference between being match fit, and being.... fit enough to play ".
Roger Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Yep, Mane has been on fire in his international appearances...so many assists and goals...he's going to come back and go straight into the team and be the saviour. Meanwhile, back in the real world... Complete stupid comments. Mane scored 3 in 3 before he went and looked class.

Quote from Alan Shearer * (in his playing days) ..." there's a lot of difference between being match fit, and being.... fit enough to play ". I wonder if we were hoping his injury was bad enough for 2 weeks on the sideline, consiquently ruling him out of African cup? Also allowing our medical team to assess and treat. But Senegal throw a spanner in the works
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Yep, Mane has been on fire in his international appearances...so many assists and goals...he's going to come back and go straight into the team and be the saviour. Meanwhile, back in the real world... What on earth is wrong with you these days? You used to be a decent poster.
Mouldy Coat Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Mane will be on the bench and will come on second half IMO
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 You would assume that our medical team would want time to evaluate his fitness once he returns.

Also allowing our medical team to assess and treat. But Senegal throw a spanner in the works ...have to admit that thought had also occured to me, but nevertheless an injury must be treated correctly and at £10 million, he an expensive player for us to have in the treatment room too much.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Complete stupid comments. Mane scored 3 in 3 before he went and looked class. Plus he was easily their most threatening player last night. Will be a massive boost to have him back.

I just wonder (in a rhetorical manner) whether he will spring into action in this case.
saint si Posted 28 January, 2015 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.

Otherwise this kind of crap is just going to keep on happening with the "non-summer" continental tournaments. I believe there is such a rule. Anyway Senegal will probably complain to Fifa and we will see what they will do.

I swear we've all been brainwashed into believing fatigue of the modern player - not being able to play 2 games in week and needing recovery time spending a few hours in first class on a flight. 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. Unless you know something I don't know?

How was all teh sports science stats on Chelsea players before Bradford or Utd before Cambridge game. As I said brainwashed.

How was all teh sports science stats on Chelsea players before Bradford or Utd before Cambridge game. As I said brainwashed. A massive part of our success over the last few years has been built on sports science and analysis. It's an important part of any elite and professional sport yet you say it's overated? Are you Harry Redknapp?

If we get relegated one day do you think it is because we took our eye off teh sports science? Or possibly unvacuumed microfibres got into the lungs. As long as we all read Steve Peters we'll all be winners. Lap it up

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.
