Match Day Thread Southampton v Brighton 17th September 8pm

Chitchat

 

We'll ****ing smash them

 

For me:

Alex
Cedric
Jan
Maya
Bertrand
Redmond
Lemina
Pierre
Mo
Ings
Gabbi

Though I expect Hoedt will start and maybe Austin too.

 

That is pretty much my team too. Play that team and 4-1. COYS!!!

 

Brighton will be well up for this game, but I think our lads will understand the importance and carry us over the line. Nervy 2-1.

 

Gabbi? There must be something about him that Sparky doesn't like. Don't know what it is (I don't see him train every day) but I suspect it'll be a while before we see him start.

I predict a good win for us. Looking forward to a good evening game (always my favourite, love the atmosphere).

I don’t really like Monday night games but if it means the international break is over then so be it.

 

My first game of the season. 3-1 saints.

 

I'm going to this and to make it feel more like a Saturday I've booked Monday and Tuesday off work.

 

And we might party like it’s 1999

 

Possible chance to go with a three at the back; Yoshida, Vestergaard, Hoedt. Allowing both full backs to push on to provide width/pace for the two up top ~ Ings, Austin

 

Going to have to miss this one worst luck...........Got an appointment I cant get out of. First evening appointment I have ever had at a hospital........Be looking out for the score though should the appointment over run.

 

Yup. Like that team a lot. Won’t happen though.

 

We’ve tried three at the back and looked horrible.

 

We will line up:

McCarthy
Cedric
Hoedt
Vestergaard
Yoshida
Bertrand
Lemina
Hojbjerg
Romeu
Ings
Austin

 

Not looking forward to this game at all.
I fly back from Spain the day after and I don’t want to do that as I am enjoying myself too much out here.

 

Worked well for MH when he saved saints last season!
Has only looked "iffy" when he was unable to call on his key players who were late into their pre-season due to world cup participation.

Postscript: certainly gives Saints more attacking options at St Mary's than a flat four & 2 x holding midfielders!

 

Three at the back can certainly work bit I think it's better suited to some games more than others.

Away at Anfield next week? Absolutely.

Home to Brighton? Not so much.

 

Thank **** proper football.

Got my ticket, stoked for some action under the lights.
