No, Matsuki was playing in central midfield, not as a number 10 or a false 9 from the 69th minute onwards after Scienza went off. Ward-Prowse went wide left, Matsuki in the Ward-Prowse central role.

No, they switched positions not as part of a short spell of play. But as a tactical switch. Matsuki was central and Ward-Prowse went wide left when Scienza came off.

Matsuki went into central midfield for some of the 2nd half vs Bristol City when Scienza went off. Including the time he scored the goal to make it 3-1. Ward-Prowse was playing wide left for a portion of the second half.

It doesn't. How many players per position do you want? We have 4 main options for central midfield, plus 2 others in Matsuki and Azaz that can play there if desperate. Plus Akachukwu. So 7 players!

It was Newman & Gbajumo announced today

Would be ridiculous to blame him for that goal.

That doesn't stop the aerial threat.

They have a 6 foot 8 striker on the pitch now and are a very long ball team. Makes sense to add a 3rd centre back.

Southampton would be top in the live table if it wasn't for the -4

Every league game that isn't 3pm on a Saturday is on Sky. The way they are doing the build up by talking about all of the 12.30 televised is no different to what they've ever done.

Are you disagreeing that centre backs are substituted significantly less than strikers, wingers and central midfielders? In the vast majority of games the centre backs that start a game, finish the game. I haven't said they never are subbed, but it is rare in comparison to many other positions.

Because it doesn't benefit the player or Forest for him to be on our bench as 3rd choice or not even in our matchday squad as 4th choice. If that were the plan he'd be better off staying as a backup at Premier League Forest like he was last year.

That in part was probably due to him being new, tiring and only joining a few days beforehand. Subbing centre backs for non injury reasons is very rare.
