Saint_Tony Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 We need to get back on track, but this is going to be a tough game. Pulis has done his usual job of turning around a poor side into one that's difficult to play against. Going to have to go for 1-1 (Berahino 17, Elia, 82).
CB Fry Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Anyone hear LvG tripe about united do not have a 20 goal-a-season striker he has, just he is playing one in central midfield and the others are getting woefully used He said none of his strikers are going to score 20 this season, which is slightly different. And when I say slightly, I mean completely different.
Batman Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 He said none of his strikers are going to score 20 this season, which is slightly different. And when I say slightly, I mean completely different. ah ok. Just flicked through the headlines and saw something different. then again, to be expected
CB Fry Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 ah ok. Just flicked through the headlines and saw something different. then again, to be expected It's a good headline but not really what he said (lazy scumbag etc)

Both are injury doubts.
Saint_Tony Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Good odds on those scorers S_T. Both are injury doubts. Are they? Not been following last few days. We must nearly be back at full strength though?
John Boy Saint Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 I see we have "not so fat" Phil blowing the whistle today, so with the conspiracy theory that we will be reffed out of the top 4 warming up it will be interesting to see how he gets on.
Turkish Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Isn't our record against WBA pretty awful? Thinking back can only remember is beating them once at the hawthorns in recent times and that was a last minute penalty.
Red Alert Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Isn't our record against WBA pretty awful? Thinking back can only remember is beating them once at the hawthorns in recent times and that was a last minute penalty. Coldest game of my life was 2 seasons back on Halloween or Bonfire night perhaps. Think Shaw made is debut in that game, lost 2-0. It was the cold I remember more than anything.
Yuki Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Isn't our record against WBA pretty awful? Thinking back can only remember is beating them once at the hawthorns in recent times and that was a last minute penalty. Southampton beat West Bromich last year Sir! Since I have been a follower of the Club we have only lost twice to them I think in 2012/2013 season. 2-0 today with Pelle and Yoshida on the sheet.
captainchris Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Long has been bad in every game he has played up front on his own. I fully appreciate Pelle is well out of form and also looks knackered to me (they are probably related a bit as well) however his presence is important to the team. He drops deep and Mane and Elia bomb on. It's very simple but the pace of Elia and Mane mean it is hard to stop. What I would do is like to give Pelle more support with players close to him when he has the ball. Many times he drops deeper to get the ball but when he gets to him there is only one option to lay it off to. I would like to see this: ------------forster clyne--fonte-----yoshida--bertrand -----wanyama--schneiderlin Davis--------------------------Tadic ------Mane ------------Pelle Mane is in and around Pelle rather than coming out to in. Tadic and Davis start wide but come inside to allow full-backs to bomb on and have licence themselves to get into the box as Vic and Morgan are covering. Pelle 'drops deep' ????? Well in which millisecond in the last 6 months was that? He doesn't drop deep that's just one of his big problems. He always stands back to goal right I front/next to his marker. He is laughably predictable and easy to mark!
Saint Garrett Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 First game I've missed for ages, anyone know where I can watch it on the internet? Last time I used Wiziwig, however that doesn't seem to be there anymoer.

Thinking back can only remember is beating them once at the hawthorns in recent times and that was a last minute penalty. One of my happiest memories of matches V WBA over the years .... maybe Clyne of Berty can follow suit today!!
ericofarabia Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 How are we going to score? How are we going to manage to score a goal? Can we manage to score today? LOL .... I'll go for 3-0 to us - one for each of your posts!! You do realise if that happens you'll have to do this on every Match Build Up Thread
Saint Garrett Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Tbf,it's the question which needs answering. Goals have been a real problem, hopefully there is a bit more space as we're away.
Jonnyboy Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 First game I've missed for ages, anyone know where I can watch it on the internet? Last time I used Wiziwig, however that doesn't seem to be there anymoer. If you look back I the Liverpool match thread some bloke posted a brilliant link. Hopefully that site will have or again today.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Although....anyone see Clyne in those images ? Nope.... He is at the Hawthorns carrying a boot bag.
scotty Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Can we manage to score today? I have my doubts. If pulis knows about anything, its setting up and drilling a defence. We haven't exactly been banging them in against anyone recently.
Dig Dig Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Mane has to start unless he has been late for dinner again. He's our best chance at unlocking a tight defence
Saint Garrett Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Looks like 3-5-2 to me Forster Fonte Gardos Yoshi Clyne Morgan Tadic Wanyama Bertrand Pelle mane
Saint Matty 76 Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Forster Yoshida - Fonte - Gardos Clyne - Schneiderlin - Wanyama - Bertrand Tadic Mane - Pelle
Goatboy Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Forster Yoshida - Fonte - Gardos Clyne - Schneiderlin - Wanyama - Bertrand Tadic Mane - Pelle I thank you! Shame Toby not fit but apart from that it's the side I would have picked.
goneawol Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Albion v @SouthamptonFC: Foster, Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Brunt, Morrison, Yacob, Fletcher, Gardner, Ideye, Berahino Albion subs v @SouthamptonFC: Myhill, Wisdom, Olsson, Baird, Mulumbu, McManaman, Sessegnon
verlaine1979 Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Hmm, a more or less fully fit midfield for the first time since December, and look who's been dropped...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 I thank you! Shame Toby not fit but apart from that it's the side I would have picked. Yeah it's a very strong team, with Long, Djuricic, Davis, Elia and JWP being able to come off the bench too if things aren't working.
Leicestersaint Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 It is very tough on Harrison Reed who has been one of our better players this season when he ahs played.
Leicestersaint Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 LOL .... I'll go for 3-0 to us - one for each of your posts!! You do realise if that happens you'll have to do this on every Match Build Up Thread Yes, it's become a little obsession of mine having been at 3 homes games without a Saints goal. It's also a bit of a tease to see if anyone has got any ideas. We are relying far too much on Pelle who has lost his touch in the last few months. Maybe today he will regain it and score a hat trick - hope so.
nta786 Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 ---------------------Forster------------------- ----------Toby---Fonte---Yoshida------------- Clyne---------------------------------Bertrand -------------Morgan--------Wanyama---------- -----------------------Tadic---------------------- -----------------Mane--------Pelle-------------- This would be my team- Yoshi has been excellent, doesn't need to be dropped IMO, and Tadic, Mane and Pelle is what worked well at the start of the season for us. Bench: Davis, Gardos, Targett, JWP, Elia, Davis, Long Only shame is Reed doesn't make squad and Djuricic! :/ Unless we get rid of Targett to make way for one of them. Guess who basically called it! Only one wrong was Toby who's still injured Me and Koeman- great minds think alike
warsash saint Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 One of my happiest memories of matches V WBA over the years .... maybe Clyne of Berty can follow suit today!! Was sat right behind that on the bench seats with my late old man ..... happy days
brett24 Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 If we don't score early then I can see us losing again!
syd_barrett_saint Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Hmm, a more or less fully fit midfield for the first time since December, and look who's been dropped... Davis, Ward-Prowse and Elia?
Batman Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 their back line (unless mistaken) appears to have little pace in there be nice to win this and liverpool lose tomorrow to get that 4 point gap back in play
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 If we don't score early then I can see us losing again! If we don`t score and they do, i can see us losing again;)
captainchris Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Tadic and Pelle - not sure about that at all
