DT Posted 20 September, 2018 Share Posted 20 September, 2018 “I think Hoedt has looked good this season” Seriously, WTF. Unfortunately one Mark Hughes seems to think this too. Or is told to by the management who want Yoshi out for some reason. Probably likes the club too much or something. Really terrible time at the moment. No faith in the set up or management. Or players' application, come to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted 20 September, 2018 Share Posted 20 September, 2018 Sounds like Ings and Gabbi are out. I bet we go with only 1 up top, Long, because its Liverpool, and then bring Austin on at about 70 minutes to try and nick a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has barely played this season and with Ings unavailable due to the loan surely this,was Gabbi's chance to stake a first 11 place. Considering everyone thinks we are going to lose badly might as well give Gallagher a go to see what he can do alongside Long what have we got to lose?

Considering everyone thinks we are going to lose badly might as well give Gallagher a go to see what he can do alongside Long what have we got to lose? A game of football. Why are so many talking as if keeping the score down is some sort of achievement. We all but snatched a draw at the Etihad last season and somebody will stop Liverpool eventually. Imagine if Lyon went to Man City last night saying, 'lets try and keep it below 3-0'. Last season we just sat back and took a nice 'safe' 2-0/3-0 defeat in both games, it was pathetic. When we went 2-0 down at home, the players were playing as if this was an okay result for both sides and we'll all just see it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 20 September, 2018 Share Posted 20 September, 2018 Our forwards without Ings look absolutely woeful. Imagine if we hadn't signed him! Should have let Long, Austin and Gabbi all go in the summer. But for this game I would do Long with Armstrong in behind. ...and without Gabbiadini now it seems so if we do start with two up front it's Long & Austin, think of how much anguish that is going to cause on Merseyside. My bet is also that we'll go 3 at the back with Yoshi at last getting the nod. Something like this?

Leslie Charteris Posted 21 September, 2018 Share Posted 21 September, 2018 In the Guardian this morning: "In games where Southampton have set up to attack, such as their win at Crystal Palace, they have looked encouraging, good even. But they simply do not seem to have the personnel or tactical nous to park the bus. Which brings us to Saints’ trip to Anfield this weekend. What will Hughes do? Try and go toe-to-toe with Salah and co, or defend deep and sleepwalk their way to a 3-0 defeat?" I'm anticipating a 3-0 defeat as we certainly lack defensive ability and tactical nous can't be nurtured in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry12 Posted 21 September, 2018 Share Posted 21 September, 2018 Why do I got a capital FINALLY? I've not been the manager before. I applied after Puel but I wasn't willing to work weekends. They said otherwise I was pretty much definitely the best. Who's Ploddy? Ward-Prowse? Or Hoedt? Or Stephens? Or Austin? FINALLY, avid Saints fans, who post their comments and opinions on this website, have reached a near consensus point. Ward Ploddy Prowse and Davis are FINALLY considered not to be good enough, on more and more posters preferred starting + subs lineups. My opinion/comment did not infer that any poster is better than any of the managers at team selection, although we are allowed a valid/invalid opinion. My own opinion on Hughes is that I have disagreed with pretty much all of his subs choices so far and too many of his starting line-ups. I think Yoshida/Bedbnarek when fit, should always start instead of Hoedt. What's happened to Armstrong? If fit he should have come on instead of Prowse or Davis, as should have Targett. Again my opinion, Les Reed has protected his protegee Ploddy, against competition, for far too long, inc no Sims,Hesketh or H Reed cos gone on loan and it's about time Reed was got rid of. Should Prowse be sold in Jan? Unfotunately, I am not sure that anyone would want him. Def yes, if poss. There was a no 19 playing for Fulham at the weekend, who drifted about, never marking, always near the action but never in it. I thought that is just what Prowse does, at any game, there, but never actually in it defensively. Agree/disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 21 September, 2018 Share Posted 21 September, 2018 I have Mane, Firmino and Salah in my fantasy prem for this week. My work mates and I all chip in £50 and so from the 11 or so of us that do it, the winner gets £500 profit. will captain Salah this weekend. I just don't see anything but a 2-0 defeat- however, I predict that both those goals will come second half. Liverpool will work hard for this win is my prediction, but they will do it.
