Southampton (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Exeter Blue I am here]

At least he scores. Unlike Jesus who just runs around

43 goals in 107 PL games. Not bad for someone who “just runs around”

Laporte not on the bench, but no mention of injury!

He's not fit apparently. It was mentioned in this thread more than once.

Wastes big chances for fun. No time for striker like that.

most of the goals he scored when we were creating 10-20 chances per game.

Apparently he isn’t fully fit is the club’s line

I've believed in Pep since day 1, he's presided over the most enjoyable football from this team I've witnessed. We have to lay a marker down and show something today and that Pep is sticking with the tried and failed double molasses arthritic pivot formation again makes me question his tactics and motives for possibly the first time ever.

I am worried about Soton big time, if they score first its gonna be "one of those games"...

Voted draw, hope its a win given what Liverpool just did which will give them now some further momentum after beating Spurs too for next few weeks.

A long time ago he got most of them , he has got steadily worse since he arrived

 

[chaddblue]

Just seen the team.. not sure I want to watch now

 

[Ribchester]

Well I’m sat here avoiding post match analysis on BT so chosen to watch the clock countdown screen on PrimeVideo, got a horrible feeling this last 5 mins will be as good as it gets... got go now we’re on 04:53

 

[jii]

Bernardo in. Hope he does well.

 

[mosssideblue]

You’d rather have Torres up top than Jesus?

Today, yes as Jesus is not fit

 

[jollylescott]

I like the lineup and think we’ll win handily.

 

[Kippax77]

I'll give Sterling his mark now....6/10

Liverpool are a country mile ahead of us as a team.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Really not looking forward to seeing both Rodri and Gundogan in the middle

It’s like you look forward to getting skalextric as a boy for Christmas and ending up with a very slow wind up toy car

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I voted loss....hoping pep makes me look a complete idiot

 

[kaz7]

Is it possible to have one thread without endless dipper mentions , my new pet hate

 

[Blue_eyes]

We need a performance today to at least keep the spirits up, and we need a proper win to put ourselves in the chasing pack........from there, who knows what might happen.

Problem is, we cant seem to score enough goals even though we are not conceding, and as time goes on its gonna get harder unless someone can step up. Maybe that someone is Torres today, lets fckin hope so.

 

[Vienna_70]

New rule today but can still only use 3, or none...

Thanks.
