trousers Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 Koeman says the team may go for a "team building" trip in early March, given the club is out of the #FACup. #saintsfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 So, probably looks like Morgan will be on the bench at best. I've got a hunch Koeman might throw Djuricic in at the deep end, so line up possibly as follows? Forster Clyne - Fonte - Gardos - Yoshida Wanyama - Davis Elia - Djuricic - Mane Pelle Subs: K.Davis, McCarthy, Reed, JWP, Schneiderlin, Tadic, Seager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 Morgan and his dodgy groin. Keeps flaring up and not good news that on his comeback at the weekend there is another problem (though to be fair, it may not be his groin). Lets hope another 10 days of rest and he is ready for Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grigsy Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 If Morgan is in the training pic, ie. he trained today, then I reckon he will start. Think Koeman meant he was a doubt as had only played 30 at the weekend. However, now that JWP has signed his new deal and has to start as part of the Club's commitment to always having an Academy player in the first XI, it may be that Morgan has fallen in the pecking order.

I've got a hunch Koeman might throw Djuricic in at the deep end, so line up possibly as follows? He said Djuricic could play maybe 45 mins, maybe a bit less so I would be amazed if he started, especially over Tadic, JWP or Davis. He will be on the bench.

Baird of the land Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 Disappointing if true if Morgan is doubtful. Personally i'd be tempted to start Tadic and use Elia as an impact sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 I would like to see.... Forster Clyne Fonte Gardos Yoshida Wanyama Davis Mane JWP Elia Pelle Davis, McCarthy, Morgan, Djuricic, Tadic, Reed, Seagar no doubt morgan will get in the pitch at some point and they will target our left side as it appears the weakest part of the team. 2-1 to saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Ash Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 Disappointing if true if Morgan is doubtful. Personally i'd be tempted to start Tadic and use Elia as an impact sub. I think Elia has looked lively in every game he's played in so far and deserves his place more than Tadic imo. I loved seeing Elia and Mane using their pace against QPR and I reckon they'll do the same tomorrow night. I do like Tadic though and think he gets unfair treatment from a lot on here but his form isn't brilliant and a stint on the bench might do him good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 I know several West Ham fans. One group is a family that moved down to the Flower Estates. Their London-based family used to trot down here and refer to it as "the countryside". Nice. I have one friend that use West Ham as a middle name on Facebook. His real middle name is David, and the tramp was born New Forest way, obviously dazzled by the bright highlights of Frank McAvennie's barnet in the 1980s. Another had a dad who was a West Ham supporter, and as someone that'll be using this fixture to brainwash my own scouse daughter into supporting the Saints, I can't really muster any lingering ire for the bloke. Quite liked the West Ham of the 1980s. They were a good team that tried to play nice football, so it was a shame to see Sam graft his percentage-based game onto a traditionally stylish team, but you can't really argue with results and they usually play better stuff these days. Sounds like they're going to park the bus tomorrow, if you believe Allardyce. I'd be prepared for anything. They've got a decent team, can do short or direct, good at set pieces and keeping the ball alive in the box, based on observations from the United game. We're good at most of the things they're good at. Potential own-team bias ahoy, but I think we've got better quality and with Mane back, a healthy slice of unpredictability. Hopefully, that'll reflect in the result. An early goal could fúck up all their plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a massive match but many will be more bothered about their watered down beer, salmonella hot dog, synthetic cigarette or ladbrokes slip which probably lists Mayuka as 8-1 FGS. Hopefully an atmosphere to match the importance. On that, anyone else think the music we play just before KO is ****?

Saint Charlie Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 Shame Morgan looks like he won't feature. Been very stop-start for him since November and with 8 yellows and a 2 match ban fairly possible, it could well continue. If he knows he is off in the summer and probably knows where, could there be a conflict of interest? Doubt it, but woukd be hard not to think of the future once you know you are off.

I mean, he has no problem comparing himself with Arsene Wenger, but he's not brave enough to put himself in the company of true visionaries, such as Tony Pulis, or Nigel Adkins in a Tony Pulis mask and outfit.
