Southampton Vs City Pre Match Discussion Thread

Zaba, Fernandinho and Yaya all on 4 yellows.

No bookings Saturday boys, need you 3 for Arsenal

wait, just looked through games and Zab is on 2, Fern on 2 and Yaya on 1, must have miscounted, where did you see that?

Not sure if that is all competitions actually.

Wanyama out would be huge, he's impressed a lot so for.

I live down here and that's not the way Saints fans see it.

Many saying the money spent on him and Osvaldo was a waste.

I'd be fearful of Lallanas guile and Rodriguez movement but not much else.

Mind you, I said similar last season !

Unfortunately I haven't seen too much of the Saints this season, so I don't have much to go by. Agree Lallana and Rodriguez are a handful, only reason I mentioned Wanyama was because I remember taking notice one game that he made some really well timed, hard tackles, and broke up several waves of attacks quite well, without giving up a foul. They still lost the game - I think it was vs. Chelsea. Perhaps it was just a one-off...Anyway I thought if they have lost their best defensive midfielder, the less chance of them disrupting us when we are in possession, the better. Also keeps the ball away from their playmakers.

Will be a tough game, perhaps more so than people will care to acknowledge, they are not a push over team, they too play the possession.

I think it is all competitions, seeing as # of games played for some of the players is more than PL games we have played so far.

None of our players are at risk of a suspension. These are PL stats (Yel column):

OTOH, Jack Wilshere is on 4 yellow cards, so one against Everton and he misses our game.

 

[Ducado]

Nearly every pre match thread this season ( including) home games has had a fair amount of pessimism, considering they got beat by Villa I think we have a fair chance all things considered, we have just beaten a side that drew against our two rivals

Felt much better about this game after a quick look at the Southampton Forum. Apparently they have a lot of injuries, a dodgy keeper and they are not at all confident. Hope they are right.

He isn't exactly firing this season so I'm not bothered. Ramsey is probably more if a threat
