They sold their best 2 players in the summer as their contracts were running down . I don't think any of their team would get in our starting 11.

Put SAA on the bench instead of Sulemama, he had been shocking. Kwp to ledtback , Stephens RB. Brooks can't start I Downes isn't playing as he doesn't defend. Not looking forward to Friday.

Passing has been poor all night, giving the ball away very easily. Have to limp on now until Downes is fit again. Also need to have some cover in front of Manning or play Minohma instead.

We definitely need that midfield. The rhythm of the passing at Watford was so slow without both Downes and Smallbone. Charles is currently a bit slower with his passing but hopefully will provide more defensive cover. Not sure I would change the forward line so much, I think I would go AA Adams and Edozie to start with . Having the other 3 plus Fraser to come on if you need it is a nice feeling.

I think we will put a strongish team out for this one, purely because it is in the middle of a run of 2 games a week . We wont be able to pick the same 11 every week, like we can at the moment. There will inevitably be a lot of rotation, depending on knocks, injuries and sports science warnings. Also, it could well be a step too far for some of the youngsters. Megohma had a good game at Watford, and again last night by all accounts. The next step of his development should probably be a start against Millwall, rather than against Mo Salah.

The candle shop outside Anfield will be doing a good trade tonight !

Lemina came from Juve I think.

The and mebohma ok, Rothwell not bad nothing from the rest of them.

I wasn't impressed with the Jones appointment, and hoped to be proved wrong, but the absolute shambles of a non performance in the first game at home to Forest confirmed all my fears/prejudices. This was after a 6 week break where he had time to implement his ideas! As for all this talk of best stats for improving teams. There is a world of difference between league one players and a room full of Premier League egos. I have a freind who is brilliant with 2 stroke and old diesel engines, but I wouldn't let him near an F1 engine. Also, some others have talked about the completely rotten culture at the club. This was clearly true and goes back a long way. Something clearly changed in between the away win at spurs and the stuffing at Villa a few weeks later. The players went from one of the best Pl away performances to not playing for the manager in less than a month.

Romeu got sent off for Girona away at Real Socieadad last season. Nothing lasts for ever .

Thought it was a mistake brining on Rothwell. As RM said , he has only had a week training with us to learn our methods. Charlie would have been a much better fit.

I was about to post something similar, then he sent that Leicester player off. Up until that point it was like Leicester were the Liverpool of the Championship in the eyes of the referees.

He was the first Chinese player in UK football. One Lee Pen

He looks like a player who is good running in behind a high line, but I m not sure how good he would be against 2 deep banks of 4 . Same way that lukaku and Warner never worked at Chelsea.

I watched Leeds at Preston last week. When the keeper got sent off, I was trying to work out who they would take off to bring another keeper. I was stunned when it was Piroe, as I had realised he was playing ! That was the first time the commentary mentioned him in 60 odd minutes.

When they showed the stat to say that we haven't won the last game of the year for 12 years I was worried. When I saw Sunak , Mr reverse Midas was there I was resigned. That God for the trigger happy linesman.

That was really enjoyable. Didn't get the stream working until a few minutes in, so I missed their chance. Everyone played well. Only small criticism is some poor decision making in good situations from AA and KWP that would have made it 7 nil. But those are the sort of things that you can review and improve on. Same applies to the fantastic cross that Edozie put across the 6 yard line that nobody slid in on . Great to see a system being understood and applied well. UtFS

It wouldn't surprise me if he has moved his family back to Hampshire, only to take a move to Saudi for his pension.

I think that we have lost every game so far that Alcarez hasn't started. I know he wasn't good on Saturday, but Aribo has been shit today.

3 courses for 27 € . Place is called Arcada. Top notch . It will be a shame if he goes , a bit like Juanmi , there is a decent player in there.

I was in a restaurant in Bordeaux this week and the waiter asked where I was from and said is that near Southampton. He is a good freind of Mara , they were in the academy together. Started to tell me about a possible loan move, but I couldn't get any more detailed info as the restaurant bot really busy.

Terrible 2nd half. Edozie was dreadful, both in attack and defence. Manning was OK until that attempted pass at the end. Flukey equaliser, but they could have buried one or both of those free headers. Big thing in the 2nd half was Bednarek screaming Smallbone and Downes for passing the ball to him when they had room to turn and start an attack instead.

I see your Cuco Martinez and raise you Inigo Martinez. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=inigo+martinez++real+sociedad+long+range+goals+&&mid=3A8D37BCDE26C528F8013A8D37BCDE26C528F801&&FORM=VRDGAR Two belters for Real Sociadad .

... and he is too well spoken, doesn't bring the swearing to the squad that Henderson does.
