As an outside bet, there may be a Turkish stream going live tonight. If I come across one, I'll pop it in here near KO.
Yes, this link looks like it might be a goodun: http://firstrowuk.eu/watch/197647/1/watch-southampton-fc-vs-besiktas.html
SAINTS: Boruc; Chambers, Fonte, Hooiveld, Fox; Cork, Schneiderlin; Ward-Prowse, Do Prado, Lallana; Rodriguez. BENCH: Gazzaniga, Stephens, Lovren, Turnbull, Shaw, Wanyama, S. Davis, Puncheon, Isgrove, Lambert, Mayuka.
Hopefully that's Guly behind Rodriguez and not Ward-Prowse. I suspect Guly will play on the wing though.
Don't think we're going to see any dramatic change in shape this season or we would have seen it by now.
Important to note that neither team is our strongest line up - therefore to lose today is not a disaster (if we do!) No Clyne, and surprised no Ramirez or Yoshida on the bench?
That's what I said earlier, yup. Rickie has also been complaining of a tight muscle the last couple of days, so may not get on.
BESIKTAS: Gönen; Kurtulus, Sivok, Franco, Gülüm; Kavlak, Ãzyakup; Fernandes, Töre, Şahan; Almeida. BENCH: Güvenç (GK), Toraman, Akgün, Uysal, Demirci, Dentinho, Pektemek, Kayhan.
a **** but not very **** starting team. Not expecting much, I really rate the potential of chambers though, he looks like a proper athlete not so sure he's really a right back, I would be playing him further forward. I rate fonte as our 3rd best defender hope he can prove it with a better showing.
Anyone manage to find a stream? EDIT: I did! http://livetv.ru/en/eventinfo/180012_southampton_besiktas/
