Southampton (a) pre-match thread

[remember arthur mann]

I would play KDB as pivot with the two Silva's in front of him, his passing range is like a quarterback so we can hit back to front in an instant with all the pace we have, I certainly think he's disciplined enough to play the role so I'd go something like this:

____________________Ederson_______________

Walker______Stones______Laporte_____Zinch

___________________KDB_____________________

______Bernard______________Merlin__________

Sterling__________Aguero_____________Sane

Danny Lowe for walkabout, St Gabriel for Bernie's shot his bolt, sorted !!

PEP Everybody is fit, we have some problems and we will decide tomorrow. @fernandinho, @gabrieljesus33 and @VincentKompany are in training.

Well, today just got a whole lot brighter

The point is obvious. The best young talent get a schooling that is second to none and many will have a very fruitful career in top football. This generates a lot of revenue for the club and gives us first dibs on those "special talents"

I’d just like to see those talents given more of a chance. But that’s just my personal opinion, not sayibg I’m right by any means.

PEP We have the belief, whether it's win or lose. Now we have to come back and win if we want to fight for trophies. They are heroes for me. Nothing is going to change.

 

[kaz7]

PEP I think my answer is clear. Still the same (no transfers in January).

 

[Ric]

Well, today just got a whole lot brighter

Just to temper that, he did say they’re not 100% yet so not sure if we’ll see them tomorrow.

Their chance is training with the first team,vast majority are not good enough to go any further

yeah, I got that mate - just happy they're all back training

 

[kaz7]

PEP I know my players and I won't doubt them for a second. I know what they have to do. I never point the finger, I look in the mirror and instead ask what can I do to help them.

The next few games will define this Season and this Team as viable or past its use by date.

 

[kaz7]

PEP I've said many times how important @fernandinho is; his position and qualities. He is so important and we have to find a solution to win games.

Everybody is fit but some have problems

Not 100% to start i expect

This needs emphasising in comparison to other managers.

I'm sure he lets them know where they have failed behind the scenes, but never ever in public.

Suggests to me that he won't start tomorrow.

Same,i don't think he will even travel but keep recovery at home

 

[chaddblue]
