I just think its very unfair to label Saints fans as thugs after one little sniff of violence that we know nothing about. In 25 years of watching Saints our fans have been very, very good.
Bit of a makeshift back four. I assume Koeman doesn't want to risk Young targett on a Thursday and a Sunday? Quite wise if so (unless he's injured)
That's a slightly weird starting lineup, especially in the defence. But I guess the idea is to have Cedric and Targett fresh for Newcastle.
Not necessarily in that order, just a rough outline of potential formation! FWIW, I wouldn't have him there either
Said in Mail that they had left their first team behind...ridiculous as not out of it at 2-2. I think we have the right attitude....we are unlikely to be top 4 and very unlikely to be relegated, therefore the UEFA Cup is a big thing for us. As Ron said, you don't spend 38 games getting into Europe and then not try to win each game.
Of course West Ham didn't spend 38 games getting into Europe, they earned it by fair play....strange they then had players red carded in Europe
I can understand young Targett being left out, but surprised Cedric has been left out too. I don't like that much change in a back 4 and never a big fan of CB's playing fullback. I still very much think we need to bring in another Defensive midfielder before the window closes. That said we look strong in attack in the team and on the bench. Get a goal tonight and it should be settled.
sportsmania.eu About a fiver for a day, so instead buy 6 months for £26 and you'll see every away game in pretty much perfect quality until February for less than the price of a Category C home ticket. Vin
