Not a single minute for Lallana/Stewart this pre-season then.

Saints v Getafe: McCarthy; Harwood-Bellis, Stephens, Bednarek; Sugawara, Smallbone, Downes, Aribo, Walker-Peters; Armstrong, Brereton Diaz

Bench: Lis, Lumley, Bree, Edwards, Wood, Taylor, Manning, Alcaraz, Dibling, Amo-Ameyaw, Edozie, Mara, Onuachu

Probably our strongest 11 and likely our starting team for next week unless kwp leaves.

Call me Mr Negative, but... Is it me or does than bench look a lot weaker (on paper) than the benches of last season...? 

[suewhistle]

Must have picked up a knock: thought he played well against Lazio.

It does, but it is currently without Charles, Lallana, Stewart and any of the drop outs who will be forced onto the bench by the 3/4/5 new signings that should still come in before the window ends (with the caveat that Alcaraz/Mara/Onuachu may go)

It is, and a starting eleven from it would probably be mid table in the championship:

                    Lumley

  Bree  Edwards Wood Taylor

     Manning Alcaraz Dibling

Amo-A   Mara/Onuachu  Edozie

[HKsaint]

hope Onuachu will score in the 2nd half 

[Appy]

Alcaraz removed from bench on republished team sheet.

[CSA96]

Trying not to get in shit with a potential suspension/punishment after the scrap the other night?

[Billy the Kidd]

Or being sold 🤞

[HarvSFC]

Where's Charles?

Good to see KWP back, will be a positive to have him next Saturday.

[skintsaint]

Or injured in the warm up..

[Pamplemousse]

He's suspended because of the red card he picked up - but only for friendly games

The whole Stewart fiasco is farcical. He’s clearly fucked, and the club are trying to play it down for some reason. To make the bench at the end of last season, yet not travel with the team to Spain, and then not feature in any of pre season suggests something’s happened in his recovery, or another injury.

[Pamplemousse]

In that one game when he came off the bench against West Brom, he looked pretty decent. Bit disappointing that he seemingly isn't fully fit.

[Appy]

Our strongest available team and it’s only 2 players different from the playoff final 11. Doesn’t say much for our recruitment.

[Baird of the land]

disappointing to see no charles after he seemed to play ok last time round

They had to spend over £40m to bring back two of the players from the playoff final 11, so its not saying as little as you'd like.

Well he’s either off as part of a deal or he’s taken a knock and isn’t risked. I’m saying injured !

[gio1saints]

I’ve heard this walker Peters guy is quite good. Be like a new signing if he works out at wingback. 😁

Install free VPN then select Spain as the country you want to appear to be logging from to the web then log on to Getaffe website.

When we are in USA we can log on in UK and get BBC news uk and , depending on VPN iplayer .

[Colinjb]

Ten minutes in, guessing it's something of a classic?

Found it on Youtube.....but what am I watching? Looks like a 1980's video game and.....um....a Lego Che Adams seems to be playing....

[skintsaint]

Listening to Spanish commentary like..

AM nearly puts AA through on goal with a long ball but just offside.

[obelisk]

Dreadful pass by Smallbone.

[The Kraken]

We’re going to concede so many goals playing out from the back.

[Hopper]

Arma not controlling anything today 

[St Louis]

Does anyone have a stream? Without the need for a VPN? Cheers

[obelisk]

Saints control of the ball in the final third is abysmal.

[Hopper]

Loved the challenge from Yuki

You need to be in Spain, or using a VPN to make it look like you're in Spain. I'm struggling to find a free stream.

[Disco Stu]

I just laugh when McCarthy gifts the opposition the ball now.

In case it hasn't been posted yet.

[CSA96]

Saints on the backfoot just now. Struggling to pass through Getafe

[Jack]

We’re still hellbent on playing triangles in our own 18 yard box and gifting chances. What a mess. We’ll ship a LOT of goals if we try that in the prem 

[macca155]

Watching in Spanish is a laugh. I recognised McCarthy what is he doing

[Bad Wolf]

Airbo having a mare.

And then we try virtually the same ball from the next goal kick.
