SuperSAINT Posted 18 December, 2018 Share Posted 18 December, 2018 Watched their highlights against Newcastle. Surprised to see they had 74% possession. They've struggled to score this season but they will have a couple of big lumps to pick from up front who will no doubt cause us problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Mounie is back from suspension (I think) & they have Laurent Depoitre. Neither has scored this season, so you know what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the bigger concern that if Utd take Poch (which is highly likely), then it's not unlikely that Spurs could be after Ralph if he does an excellent job with us.

SuperSAINT Posted 19 December, 2018 Share Posted 19 December, 2018 Romeu. Too many touches and no quick decision, leading to a goal. That will stick in RH's mind, and i'm sure OR will improve that aspect of his game when he gets taken aside and talked to. In contrast, see Hoj's pass to Long in the build up to our winner vs arsenal. That will get him a stay in the team for sure! I'll give OR the benefit of the doubt as he's barely played. Interested to see how Ralph lines us up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 20 December, 2018 Share Posted 20 December, 2018 Just watched the 2nd part of Ralph's pre match press conference. Don't think we'll be seeing many, if any, changes to the starting 11 vs Huddersfield. To paraphrase Ralph: "I have now found my first 11. Given how well they performed in the Arsenal game there is no reason to make changes" (or words to that effect) https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-12-20/press-conference-part-two-ralph-hasenhuttl-huddersfield-southampton-premier-league-1819 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteCampbell Posted 21 December, 2018 Share Posted 21 December, 2018 I get the feeling he might actually prefer Valery and Targett in the long run.

trousers Posted 21 December, 2018 Share Posted 21 December, 2018 (edited) No Lemina to start then?His actual words: “In the moment I am happy that I find the first 11 that showed me against Arsenal that it is possible that it fits good together. I am not in the situation that I change everything because one or the other player is a little bit tired. That is not in my mind at the moment. I am glad that I find now a first 11 and to come in this team is not so easy at the moment because they put something in my account and showed me they are able to take a win." https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17311959.southampton-manager-ralph-hasenhuttl-on-the-christmas-schedule Edited 21 December, 2018 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 21 December, 2018 Share Posted 21 December, 2018 I find it hard to believe he won't play Lemina, Bertrand, and Cedric when they are healthy. That's 3 players who could feasibly be off in a few weeks, as with Gabbi, so better to stick with the stayers if that is the case. And if that is the case, they are players that will raise decent money allowing RH to bring in players he will feel fits his philosophy. Hopeful but not complacent about the trip to Huddersfield.

doddisalegend Posted 21 December, 2018 Share Posted 21 December, 2018 I find it hard to believe he won't play Lemina, Bertrand, and Cedric when they are healthy. The lads that played last saturday against Arsenal deserve to start after a result and performance like that. Also its forces those three, especially the two full backs who have been coasting due to lack of competition for a while now, to work harder and up their game in training to get back in the team. Just letting them waltz back into the starting 11 sends out the wrong signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
