    Jones not afraid to shake it up. I like it. Got good pace on either flank with Edozie and Moussa.

    Yes, believe so. Moi behind Ché with Edozie and Djenepo wide.

    I would guess so - and in 'transitions' to a 4-3-3

    Or we could call him Case Rod Schneiderlin.

    The one question mark is Diallo but AMN was so bad against Lincoln you can't really justify keeping him in the team and Lavia isn't ready.

    Decent. Positive with pace on the wings. Edozie and Djenepo deserve a chance to be honest.

    Not sure about the CBs though

    10 epl games between the two teams and neither team has won this fixture at home.
    Time to change that. Also hoping that Moussa and Fandab can cause some panic tackling just outside the penalty area to give Prowsey a decent free kick position. Opponents have been frustratingly disciplined and haven’t committed too many fouls in the danger zone this season.

    That team under Ralph, would make me nervous.

    But Jones will be giving the players different instructions. So it’s a clean slate for the lot of them as far as I’m concerned.

    I am slightly surprised Lyanco starts, for me he’s #4 choice at CB .
    But overall intrigued to see how this team performs!

    Yes that’s my main concern, as I do think he’s more meme than footballer, but character comes into these things, for sure.

    Lallana actually playing for them at St Mary’s! Is that his first game since he left?

    No, he played for Liverpool when they beat us 6-1 at SMS.

    Kevin Davies is morphing slowly into Rick Astley.

    That team shows how much work needs to be done in the transfer window tbh. We are weak af in the middle without Lavia and JWP also becomes half the player without playing alongside a proper DM. Think that’s pretty much just as important to sort as striker and then winger/10 as the next priority.

    AMN and AArmstrong were awful midweek so nice to see the manager dropping them for that. Not sure id be dropping ABK though as none of the other CBs were any good v Lincoln either and at least we know ABK has the quality in a back 4. I’d have also started Stu, especially after his performance off the bench on Tuesday.

    But anyway, new start today, let’s hope Jones can get a bit more out of this lot. COYR
