Looks likely we’ll be facing Lavia and Edozie, plus possibly the Croatia forward Orsic who they’ve just signed

Is this him ?

 

[murcian blue]

Yeah we can, they are shite.

so are Everton

Orsic
Can't wait for his pronunciation by the commentator.
Sounds like it could be Horse Itch.

 

[theres only one carlito]

This will be the usual, 11 behind the ball, clog us to death and a weak ref who will do f..k all.

We will still win though. Just a bit worried about the injuries.

They are confident on the Saints forum

im glad we have this game to break up derby week.hopefully less time for pep to think up a batshit experiment.(only joking by the way] if we play people in their real positions i think we win both games

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

We should pick a strong side , and get the game won early doors then we can use the five subs to see the game out and rest a few for the re-born Rags , although the common misconception is "one game at a time" i am sure Pep and his staff have the next few games planned depending on injuries and suspensions , managerial genius isnt for everyone ask Clubshop.

I'm at the game on Wednesday and, being a selfish c**t, I'd love to see Haaland start. I'm sure I'll see him in the flesh in March when I come back up to the Etihad, but I don't want to wait that long. To say I wish I'd never left Manchester is an understatement.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

I Wonder if lewis cud play left back him and walker fullbacks be fire.

Mind you moving to Mars was a bit extreme?

Are you Cornish?

With the short turnaround between this and the derby, I don’t think many players, if any, will start both games. Could feasibly see two almost completely different XIs.

Southampton:

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Ake
Cancelo
Phillips
Gundogan
Palmer
Grealish
Foden
Alvarez

United:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Grealish
Mahrez
Haaland

Speaking of the short turnaround, does Pep get a free pass to moan like fuck about the fixtures in press conference then? Or does that only work for the victims?

Yes but we have the biggest squad ever seen in football whereas the German Stonehenge has an injury crisis never seen before.
