SuperSAINT

I'll be happier when McQueen signs a new contract. Don't want him to "do a Gobern" on us.

With our 9 games in 30 days, we've timed it quite well. Fingers crossed we can keep them all fit.

3-2

(£32m striker though!)

HT 1-2 (Saints)

Chelsea decided going out of the EFL Trophy was the final straw and now resorted to throwing the big-guns at the U23 league

Our boys currently in action vs Chelsea U23's. We are 2-1 Up at the moment. (Olomola & Sims) Chelsea's team is NOT weak! Chelsea FC ‏@ChelseaFC Our #CFCDev XI today is Eduardo; Zouma, Terry, Tomori; Dabo ©, Van Ginkel, Fabregas, Aina; Solanke, Batshuayi, Mount.

A little bit more detail on the deal: http://sportwitness.co.uk/record-southampton-transfer-nearly-fell-twice-koeman-departure-close-deal-breaker/? Interesting how the Koeman / Puel switch impacted things.

Agree with this. Assuming we can still get the results, it seems to work well for us with most players getting a game every 7 days. It's benefited Yoshida massively IMO. It's also very useful for the players coming back from injury as we don't put too much load on them.

I don't want to see a weakened team - I just tried to predict what Claude's team will be.

It's very possible. Would give Romeu are break. Pleased to see Reed back - he got injured a little while back and I wasn't sure how serious it was at the time.

I don't necessarily remember a Hatrick, but I remember Flo being over for training. I recall Souness had a load of players over for trials at around the same time.

I'm not focusing on different permutations just yet - I'm starting with a very basic desire: PLEASE SCORE AWAY FROM HOME IN EUROPE SAINTS!!!

Tadic & JWP to be assessed Monday in regards to their chances of of being fit for Prague.

This one is tricky to predict. I think Claude will make 8 changes. ------------Forster----------- Martina Yoshida Virgil McQueen ------------Romeu----------- --------JWP----Clasie------- -------------Tadic------------ ------Long---Rodriguez------

LeG with a bombshell if that's true. MLG will likely wee himself when he reads that

I'd rather draw after not creating chances rather than losing after missing 20 chances.

I'm pretty sure I can remember Ronald saying when he joined that Tadic & Pelle were both "already on the list".

I'm sure the lads that destroyed Crawley really hated being involved...

I just see their tempo/high-press causing us BIG problems. Even if Lallana/Coutinho missing, Mane/Firmino/Sturridge will be a nightmare. Need to take our chances tomorrow.

I know, but I'm in "full-on paranoia" mode during take-over rumours
