Sums up my feelings on this one! Please just let us beat them! Then we can stop abusing Lallana just in time for Kelvs testimonial Vic's back now isn't he? I wouldn't start him though, 5 games out he might not be upto speed and with the high press in the first 10-15 minutes don't want him getting caught on the ball! I think that we have to win this one if we want a chance of Europe! Come on Saints!!
Looking forward to this one. I can spend the whole time booing Lovren & Lallana instead of supporting the team.
JWP did a good job on lala last season so would like to se him start. Forster Cedric, VVD, Fonte, Bertrand, Targett, JWP, Wanyama, Romeu, Pelle, Long Wow - we have some players to pick from now - that leaves a pretty strong bench of Stek, Martina, Yosh, Tadic, Mane, JRod, Davis
He's never up to speed when he's been out for some time. I bet he'd be as mobile as an overweight sloth with an ankle problem.
Would love to have Cedric back for this one, because he holds his position so much better than Martina, and doesn't follow players all over the place, leaving massive gaps to be exploited.
We've had some good performances & results of late, Lallana (not his biggest fan) has actually been in good form recently, his last few games have probably been his best since joining tbh, Lovren (again not a fan) has also started to look like he can actually defend since klopp has arrived, Clyne played a blinder against utd too, maybe its voodoo that they all seem to have good form coming into this game we will smash utd again on thursday and beat you lot 2-0 after is my predickshun
