Being beaten by Bournemouth 4-1 at home would be way worse. So we're either going to beat Bournemouth 4-3 or lose 4-1.

At least we've got a cracking 4-3 win coming up

Well we need to hope Watford and Brighton get some results, and we really, really, really have to win at Leicester. And then beat Bournemouth.

If we get a win at Leicester we'll be alright. Come on, where is the fans' belief, Puel is a crap manager right, this should be an easy game.

Well I haven't given up, let's hope the players won't like some of our "fans". Embarrassing stuff in here.

Theoretically, if we play like this against weaker teams, we should get something

We just can’t defend. Amateur stuff.

Losing the midfield battle, need Lemina on. Need some fresh legs on

Get Austin on

Dickers **** ****

Oh god here we go

COME ON GET IN THERE

This isn't the Southampton from this season... what has Mark Hughes done to them?? They're fighting, they're passionate, and most importantly, clinical, this isn't the Saints I know at all.

Gotta push for a second now

Get the **** in there

Agree with that lineup. Fresh Austin v Cahill should be interesting with 25 minutes remaining... Defence will be interesting, embarrassing for a Premier League club that those are the options available to us. It’s a case of whether we will be able to score more goals than they can. If we’re mirroring 2005, another 4-3 thriller coming up???

Quiz question - when was the last time Mike Dean refereed at SMS and didn’t give a penalty? Off the top of my head I can recall Brighton earlier this year, Spurs (Harry Kane ballooned it), Hull in the last minute which we missed...

Austin

Yup, no reason why this couldn't have been played at say the Emirates or London Stadium. Man Utd v Tottenham at Villa Park. Easy.

The fact Chelsea haven't sold out either really shows that the FA have messed up big time.

There have been rumours linking Reed to other positions so he might go of her a own accord. Wilson’s position really should untenable, the recruitment has been a disaster since he arrived.

The greedy FA increasing the prices has probably put some off as well. I’m sure if we win tomorrow there will be a surge in demand.

If possible, I'd try and contact the club. Because you don't have a purchase history, it might be difficult getting tickets the conventional way, but I seem to recall other American fans on here contacting the club and getting help in obtaining tickets. And I'm sure if you do have any issues, fans on here can help you get tickets should it come to that.

No no no no, he's a failed manager apparently, really poor, he'll never achieve anything with us... He would be the obvious choice but I think, sadly, that ship has sailed. A bit like people wanting Strachan back a decade ago, I don't think it will ever happen.

Yes, I'm sure we'll miss Tadic, with his three goals and three assists this season, how will we cope with his absence...
