Southampton (N) - Sat 25th April, 17:15 | FAC | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 17:15 BST.

Not sure how much we change or keep the same. 9 day rest after this before we travel to Everton.

Get through, get to Final, get the job done.

Credit to Southampton for getting here, I think they're like 15+ games unbeaten.

 

[Blu1]

Not sure we have some tired players at the minute & ones on the bench not good enough. Bernardo looks goosed & rodders injured. Won’t be easy this & we can’t keep missing big chances

 

[Goater101]

Traff; Nunes Stones Ake Ait-Nouri; Reijnders Nico G Foden; Marmoush Haaland Savinho.

We do have e a 9 day rest after this so I’d only make 4/5 changes,

 

[wolves99]

tough game maybe ET

 

[super_city_si]

tough one to call. Youd think Marmoush, Ake, Nico G, Savinho, Foden and Reijnders will be wanting game time but do you change so many?

 

[Goater=Legend]

My worry is some of the players on the bench (Marmoush, Foden, Reijnders) have barely played any minutes so will be rusty if they do start.

I'd like to see Nico and Kovacic in midfield.

 

[Leyland Blue]

Not that it should matter, but Southampton will likely rest players, as they have a huge game against Ipswich on Tuesday.

Wouldnt be too surprised for a Southampton v Leeds final. Southampton are a very good team, bang in form and score lots from set pieces, though they concede many goals from set pieces but luckily for them they are up against us with our non threatening set pieces.
All depends on if Pep rotates and if we have our shooting boots on or off as never know these days

 

[come-on-barney]

Traff; Nunes Stones Ake Ait-Nouri; Reijnders Nico G Foden; Marmoush Haaland Savinho.

I guess we will have a free day on the 16th May.

Be strange with the arsenal game being played at same time and the city end cheering at a random point if Newcastle score

That's weird I just posted the same team as you, what's the lotto number mate :)

 

[Cobwebcat]

Pep will have most of the first team on the bench

That’s the team I reckon, big guns on the bench if needed. Maybe Rico will start at RB

 

[Master-Lotus]

Let's just scrap the win any way we can to reach that final.

With respect they are good and in form in the Championship, where they probably have most of the ball. They will play completely different against us and although will be tough, they will fear us more than we will fear them

Don't want too many changes.
