Maybe Selles told Bednarek to ditch tge stiletto boots he wears while playing.

I'd play Adam Armstrong at centre back ahead of Bednarek.

Tells me all I need to know about your opinions pal 

 

[West end Saints]

Huge over reaction without much though on this thread. 

1) Salisu injured, clearly DCC not being considered so CB not my choice but understandable. 

 

2) midfield (with 2 young players) totally lost their shape and threw the game last week. I like to watch Alcarez but can see the need to balance youth with experience (which was what most on here said we needed!) 

3) Moi is hugely under rated, his decision making, moving ball when under pressure better than most we have available. If we are going 433, as many here wanted, who else could play along side JWP and Lavia? Can see the sense in him. 

4) Stu is good, but I don't rate him in a midfield 4, or whatever the most defensive line of midfield is, as number 10, or one of attacking 3 is decent choice. 

5) AMN, must be KWP isn't 100% so one of AMN or Bree, he's gone for experience, again shouldn't be surprise as in press conference Selles said we needed more experience and that was clear from Wolves. 

 

Not an easy fan pleasing team that many of us (including me) would have gone for, but 100% consistent with press conference and nothing ridiculously wrong with it

Good afternoon.

Bednarek and Moi back in?

What. The. Actual.

[Manuel]

Would like to see something decent from big Paul this game 👍

[Mr X]

He's picked Elyonoussi! 

[wild-saint]

any streams chaps?

[St. Ciervo]

Commentator - "Southampton fans must be wondering what has gone wrong this season..."

Oh, we aren't wondering... Several of the reasons are on the pitch today.

[Weston Super Saint]

I guess we can figure out which players think the new boss is great

Our kit reminds me of the 2010 sash kit. White shorts and black socks. Decent look.

Ohh.

That should be red. Wtf?!?

Raked his studs on Paul's knee.

Not looking forward to seeing Felix picking us apart. Thought he looked outstanding in the world cup. Not looking forward to this at all.

[Archers Road Stand]

Seen reds for that...

[The Kraken]

What an opportunity, great pace from Sulemana.

Well, nobody factored in that he'd kick Salisu in training yesterday.

and that was a slice

[niceandfriendly]

Decent streams please fellas?

[Suhari]

Sully has pace. And if there's one thing defenders don't like to deal with, it's pace.

Commentators already showing incredible bias to Chelsea.

 

[Saint_clark]

VAR working in favour of the big boys again. That gets changed to a red if it's the other way.

Yep. Clear intent to get him on the knee.

[The Kraken]

Good feet for a big man there from Tall Paul.

[AlexLaw76]

Maybe this was the front-footedness Jones wanted us to play?

[Saint NL]

The big fella up front is getting involved, good sign

[OttawaSaint]

Great turn Lavia!

[Mr X]

Big paul definitely doesn't look an elegant footballer hopefully that doesn't matter 

[Saint Fan CaM]

ABK a little lucky there.

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhh JWP to TP. Close with the header.

Why didn’t he ever say so?

[the colonel]

any streams working

 

[Suhari]

Selles going with the Archer look on the touchline.

[Saint NL]

Nice move, just wide.

This looks much better

[Saint Fan CaM]

Playing really well to be fair. AMN getting high up… could be a danger if they break.

[egg]

We're giving this a proper go. Great start from AMN, Ely, and Bednarek.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Gotta say, Lavia is class above running midfield.

Come on Saints

[Bad Wolf]

Bazunu makes a really good save (with where he  put it too). Our fans won't like that.

[The Kraken]

A bit of a flappy save from Bazunu that. Thankfully nothing from the corner.
