Was Sheffield United last season I believe.

anyone knows if this is televised? i.e. shown on sportsmania

hmm... seager and reed starting for u21s today. interesting.

No point in resting players really, if we win, let them have thursday off, or make it a lighter training session. Professional players on thousands a week should cope with another game- if we had Europa League we'd be in a situation like this. Only position I'd consider resting is fullback, as tbf they have a tough job with being fit. My team: Stekelenburg Cedric-Fonte-Van Dijk-Bertrand Romeu-Clasie Davis-Juanmi-Tadic Pelle Bench: Kelvin, Martina, Caulker, Wanyama, JWP, Gaston, Seager Substitutes I would use is Martina (Cedric), Caulker (Van Dijk) and Gaston/Seager (Pelle)

Funny because if we do that and end up losing because of it- there'll be riots on here

Let the media love in for Klopp's first PL game continue... Not. Disappointing 2-2 draw last time out, but if there is any fixture out of the 38 I could choose to win- this one definitely! Line up for me: Stekelenburg Cedric-Fonte-Van Dijk-Bertrand Romeu-Wanyama Davis-Mane-Tadic Pelle Bench: Kelvin, Yoshida, Caulker, Clasie, JWP, Jay Rod, Juanmi Prediction: 1-0, can't see us winning or getting something- but I reckon a jammy Coutinho long shot will win it for them

would almost think that we were the away team in that second half. feels like a defeat. just didn't understand the players at times- Mane with some odd decisions, Kelvin with abysmal kicking... I could continue. Oh well- it is what is is, points a point.

Vardy misses a golden chance...

blame kelvis for that then?

Nervy start. Come on Saints.

If someone could give me a statistic where we count how many goals each respective keeper is at fault for and the number of minutes played- I bet you Davis' would not be so bad. Any team would be weakened if their first choice and back up are out- a club like us can't have a De Gea or a Begovic on the bench.

Every keeper makes mistakes. Have some confidence ffs. I can name plenty for Forster as well, and many argued last week Stek should've done better with Willians- now imagine if Davis does something similar- you'll all be calling for his head. I am reserving judgement until the game.

Off the top of my head: Shaw, Barkley, Sterling, Kane, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Stones, Chambers, Berahino, James Ward-Prowse... These are players who are 22 or less who could make it to the top (some have). I've defined top as playing regular Champions League football. Hopefully Prowsey with us!

Just under two weeks to go then- having beaten Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge! Let's hope our players return unscathed over the international period. Team for me: Stekelenburg Cedric-Fonte-Van Dijk-Bertrand Davis-Wanyama Tadic-Mane-JWP Pelle However might consider swapping JWP for Jay Rodriguez- or even starting Clasie in place of JWP if hes available. No matter what people say about JWP/Davis goal return, I like the pair- though sometimes it really is one or the other. Bench: Kelvin, Yoshida, (Martina/Caulker), Clasie, Jay Rodriguez, Juanmi, Long I've had to leave Romeu out lol- what a problem to have with such a solid squad! Prediction: 2-1, with Mane opening the scoring, followed by a Mahrez/Vardy goal and Pelle to score a late winner

Okay- but what if with that £40million- we find 3/4 Sadio Mane's? Then it would be worth it- mind you- it'll require brilliant scouting!

Surely Gaston will be available for this too? Or was he called up by Uruguay

https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/10/match-report--chelsea-v-southampton.html What a classless match report compared to ours. Absolutely disgusting club.

Have we found a Sadio Mane replacement? Being linked with El Ghazi! Anyways- let's focus on Mane whilst we have him. Legend.

Default Just saw this on MOTD Mourinho- 'we should've had a penalty etc etc Interviewer- 'What about Southampton's two claims in the first half?' Mourinho- 'I prefer not to comment' Pathetic. Didn't praise us once, and lost all respect I did have for him.

More importantly, the last time we won from a goal down was West Ham away (Aug 2014), and before that, the AV home game in 2012! Absolutely brilliant! Great character and I love the Saints- regret not buying a ticket for this one when I had the chance

The U21s and England.

A goalkeeper- knowing our luck Steklenburg will get injured. As for who? That's the black box job- not mine lol

Been awfully quiet on here today- funny isn't it. A win and this place is quiet. A defeat and suddenly a countless number of threads spouting negativity pop up. Just don't understand this forum. Oh well on to the next game- Chelseaaaa!
