Mauro Icardi embarassing every southampton forward in this europa leage

JWP is not a shuttler in that position, I'd prefer he swap with Pierre and sit in as DM, think that would be a better fit.

JWP is an Italian tank, he has 1 gear forward and 6 reverse gears

yeah I know but it is just a bit weird he hasnt had 1 min in the europe league which would be a big deal for him leading us out or least play. In Claude we trust and this is the game Virgil makes up for those Beersheba and Inter misses. Edit I'll flag those misses based on his goal against Inter at home, he did a gerrard level type inspirational performance

hahahah this I went and checked my delayed flight status when he was on. The only main thing I noticed was he has slightly changed his rubbish hair style with a slight quiff.

So remind me again whats the current thinking on Jose ? not trying to get him cup tied or will only use him in the knock out phases. Also is Reed injured?

Not sure about their centre backs (Toure is one) but I am onboard with Dembele, still not the finished EPL proven player that the big boys would buy but someone who could interest us. Not seen enough myself but the feedback is generally positive although Scott Sinclair is having a good season up there as well.... hmmmm

Based on your vitriolic posts when Mane first played for us in his 1st season I would say Boufal is miles ahead of him in the few games he has played and Saturday was his first PL start against the top of the table side. Lets maybe judge replacements at the end of the year, Mane got 10 goals and 3 assists in 24 games in 2014 season and most of those were in the 2nd half of the seaon. Boufal will play less due to Afcon but if he can get a minimum of 8 goals this season I will be happy, his stats for Lille last season were 11 goals and 4 assists in 27 games so he looks like he can do it.

Brendan is that you?

Not a striker but a loan AM - HBA 18 goals for nice

Impressed the number of times Boufal has nicked the ball off a Liverpool player when we are defending.

Not a defector but I've just seen this van outside my place here in Amsterdam Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

easier than normal to be done when you have virgil infront of you

Yeah I'd try 3 with Romeu dropping back into a 4 when under attack

We have struggled to score from midfield for 3-4 seasons now. I don't think its down to the forwards, Zlatan has just had a goal drought and he is a quality striker. We need goals from other areas i.e midfield. I'd take Hatem Ben Arfa on loan (subsidised wages) from PSG with an option to buy. Have him top of the diamond and Davis/Hojberg as the shuttlers as they both go forward as their first instinct

Disappointed thought this was about your poo

Can we change it to someone doing it on his face?

With the possession approach didn't Claude say we had to play this way rather than the classic up and down style because if we play every 3 days otherwise we would be knackered very quickly

Gotta ask why always orange ?

Against supposedly easier teams like Hull etc I would of hoped we would of played this forward/midfield line up, i feel it has a lot more goals in it Boufal-Austin-Redmond Tadic Davis Hojberg Romeu

No problem with it as long as they eat it

we've had more than 3 bad players than we can replace

Obvs

If Boufal and Austin don't come on I'll be gutted. Gutted because i think we can qualify from this group but this team does not have goals in it. I'm gutted because i think this dream is achievable and i wont be placated cos we may win at hull.
