Southampton Football Club on Twitter: "Saints defender @Luke_shaw3 will miss tomorrow's England Under-21 match after picking up a knock during training this morning. #saintsfc"
A knock, that makes me feel a tad better. Bit tired of knee jarring ankle turning hamstring pulling injuries, a knock will do for today.
The next five days - worry over whether Luke is fit or not. Seeing as Fox replaced Shaw at Man Utd, I don't think it will be anything other than a straight swap. Although I don't care about England, it's a shame he missed out on the U21's. But he'll get his chance next time.
I'd have thought so. Bringing Lallana on for Clyne and shoving Cork to what was basically a right wing back would have been a silly tactical change. I'm assuming it was forced.
Why? It worked very well, Cork did his job defensively and did better than Clyne had been going forwards, not to mention it got Lallana on the pitch. If it wasn't enforced as it now looks it would have been a cracking tactical sub.
We went from 4-2-3-1 to basically 2-4-4. We had aggressive wing backs instead of full backs. They had more support when they got forward to add to that. You pinning turning the game around on playing Cork out of position at right back instead of Clyne is very far-fetched.
Because during the game he was imploring Pochettino to go with a 2-4-4. Thus, when we scored twice, it was because we went to a 2-4-4, even if we in no way went to a 2-4-4.
