Southampton (H) Pre Match Thread

Diaz not even making the bench again. No chance he's signing that contact.

I’d say that’s pretty much our strongest line up

 

[journolud]

Would love to see Foden start, but think he’s more likely to get the nod against Shakhtar.

On paper this is the easier game. I was wrong anyway. This is why I don't do the lottery

 

[super_city_si]

I like it. I like it a lot!

Pity Phil isn't getting a start today. It is, theoretically, an "easier" game, but hey ho. Same goes for Brahim not even making the bench. Ah well; in Pep we trust.

I wonder who we should sub off early in case they get injured :)

 

[OntarioBlue]

Great line up but I’m a bit surprised we are putting such a strong team out. I expected some rotation. Hopefully we can get a good lead early and make some substitutions.

Really strong attacking line up,shame Diaz didn’t make the bench after his two goals..

Suspect him & Mahrez will play on Wednesday.

Very happy with that. I was expecting Mahrez over Sane based on how Pep has been playing him into the first XI of late, but there's a very strong case to be made that that's our strongest XI until De Bruyne is fit again.
