suewhistle Posted 18 September, 2015 Share Posted 18 September, 2015 You could also sense that Koeman was getting p*ssed off answering questions about Depay; ..and about his rivalry with van Gaal, with the media trying to play up the conflict..

VectisSaint Posted 18 September, 2015 Share Posted 18 September, 2015 What a total nonsense of a press conference. You can see it ****es Ronald off, why do we have to put up with these total ****s asking all their questions about ManU. Ronald should just say "We are Southampton" and not answer anything that is not on subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadhall Saint Posted 18 September, 2015 Share Posted 18 September, 2015 Bertrand not fit for this one but should be for Swansea. Clasie longer. Targett will need to be better against Martial, Mata or Depay than he has against the wide players so far. Not having a go, but they are a big step up from the players he has semi struggled with so far. Cometh the hour cometh the man. Have faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasper57saint Posted 18 September, 2015 Share Posted 18 September, 2015 I have serious reservations over the competence of Paul Merson and have just had those thoughts confirmed . His SKY predictions read "Although United have been winning games I can't see it here" and goes on to predict a 1 - 3 score.Is he for real?

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 18 September, 2015 Share Posted 18 September, 2015 for a defensive team like us. I cannot see us starting with that many forwards against united I'd say playing Romeu and Wanyama together is pretty defensive. Though as I said, Davis will probably start too.

captainchris Posted 18 September, 2015 Share Posted 18 September, 2015 Going for a 2-0 win to saints Those press conferences are becoming more and more rediculous. If questions are off topic the journalist should be told to to address Southampton related or the actual game topics or leave the room. Talk about dumb questions. Do you have to have to own any intelligence these days to be a journalist ? For Gods sake let a fan go in and ask the questions and make the journo's sit and take notes..... Pathetic!

Shance Posted 19 September, 2015 Share Posted 19 September, 2015 One thing I will say is that I doubt we'll see Soares flying forward as much as he does as he'll have to keep tabs on Depay, who Koeman knows about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Koeman knows that Memphis is not keen on tracking back which will give Soares licence to push on. We're at home, seize the initiative. Make their wide men mark our full-backs in their half.

Shance Posted 19 September, 2015 Share Posted 19 September, 2015 That's all well and good but behind him will be Blind who is great at regaining possession. If he manages to nick the ball from Soares then Depay will murder him down that flank. I'm not saying he needs to sit back the whole game, just choose his moments more carefully. There are going to be a lot of answers on our full backs after this game. I know UTD aren't at their best but their wide players are quality!

Who the hell was he? In fairness the most ridiculous line of questioning this week was about avoiding a repeat of the pitch invasion last time Villa played West Brom, with Pulis and Sherwood being all earnest and issuing calm advice. Effing retarded. Last years pitch invasion was because Villa had got to Wembley for the FA Cup semi, not because they happened to beat flippin' West Bromwich Albion. There will be no invasion this weekend. If either of them get to Wembley this year, them fans are on the pitch. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
