Southampton (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Win our next 4 games and the Rags cup final can be forgotten.

We'd be 6 pts closer the title, into the QFs of champions league and the semis of the FA Cup.

I'd take that over 2 days of bragging rights all day (even though Sundays result still smarts like fuck)

I feel KDB will start, Pep likes to support his players, and I think he will want to give him a message that is he is important to the team, and he will rotate him afterwards but probably not tomorrow.

Full strength for this game and Fulham, which means Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Rodri, Bernardo, Gundogan, Sterling, Jesus, Foden.

Wait for Gladbach before ringing the changes and bringing in Laporte, Walker, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Torres, Mahrez and Aguero.

Will that happen? Will it fuck.

I can go with that. If he plays Kev then Kyle at right back.

so what’s the team news then. :) didn’t realise they announced it two days instead of one hour before the game this time.

Who said I was talking about this time?

 

[Bill the Blue]

21 straight wins is phenomenal.

Our current record of 21 wins in 22 games is still by far and away the best run in Europe...

Only a handful of teams have put together a better sequence of results, ever..

We have the best defence in the division..

We are 11 points clear with 10 games to go..

To win the league, we'll probably only have to win half of them..

We're at home to a Southampton side who are missing their centre forward through injury..

They have little to play for whereas we have everything to gain by winning the game..

Time for a reaction from the players to remind the rest of the division that we are where we are for good reason..

I’m far more concerned about Fulham on Saturday than about Southampton

I think tomorrow will be fairly straightforward.

but win both and it puts the rags back in their box and the league is practically done

How many Gabbys do we have

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Starting 11 should be

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri
Gundo
Bernardo

Mahrez
Aguero
Foden

Torres deserves some mins as well.

Sterling, KDB, Gabby simply must be dropped for there pathetic displays in the derby
