Match Day Thread Southampton v Chelsea 14/04/18 ....12.30 KO.

Steven Davis injured. Shane Long still being assessed but thinks he'll be ok.

 

Bednarek may play but he hasn't decided yet whether to go 3 at the back again.

 

Hopefully only as a three. I'd rather he picked Alfie Jones.

 

who wants some today then?

 

I wouldn't mind some biscuits. Can you help?

 

Totally agree. If you look at the recent past; Claude Puel had to employ defensively orientated tactics due to the defensive frailties (VvD injury / Fonte's moody distruptions) that he had to manage as best he could. This season, VvD scenario caused more grief and, unfortunately, Jack Stepphens has been found wanting ~ basically, he ball watches too much and ain't strong enough in the air for a c/back. Good goin' forward but then, that's what Hoedt (international class) was bought for as the club were expecting him to develop & slot in alongside VvD and occasionally Yoshida.

 

or bourbons

 

Custard creams please.

 

how many?

 

I'd rather we went to a back 4 than play Bednarek or Jones for their PL debut ... or even move Bertrand into the left cb and give McQueen a game.

 

2 should do it, I don't want to ruin my appetite for dinner.

 

Do we know if McQueen is ok? I think he had a problem last week.

 

ok but dont tell the others . I'll chuck in a fig roll too

 

Hughes said that Davis was our only absentee this weekend - but I haven't seen McQueen training in the videos though.

 

You feeling alright mate?

 

I feel like when Ronnie Rosenthal scored a 2nd half hatrick in the FA Cup at the Dell. sick with worry

 

You had a funny 5 mins that's all.

 

Jonny any more of this and you will get a permanent ban.

Final warning.
