Contrary to opinion amongst most Saints fans, I think it should be a decision between whether to pick Wanyama or Schneiderlin at the moment and to keep Corks place in the team. I seem to find when we play Morgan and Vic the gap between defence and attack is too great and by having Cork in the team he seems to offer more of a link. It'd be great to try and intergrate all 3, but Poch seems a little reluctant. I'd go -------------Boruc------------ Shaw--Fonte--Lovren--Clyne ---------Cork-Wanyama--- -------------Lallana------------- -Gallagher---Lambert----Davis Appearances for Mcqueen, Reed and JWP off the bench please
I don't think MP will tinker much in the last two gaomes. probably moreso Swans rather than Manu but if there's one experiment I'd like to see it would be trying to get Morgan, Jack & Vic to play together. If MP can get it working, it would at least be a really great midfield "plan B".
Where are these people sitting. All I ever hear is cheers when Guly comes on. Maybe I'm hearing irony!?
Time to blood the youngsters. Keep Adam, rickie and Shaw (to give them the best chance of going to the WC) but give some of the nippers a chance to show what they can do.
To be fair there has been a lot of stick over the last two seasons but I think everyone realises he is probably in his last season with us now (contract up in June I think) so this sort of ironic love affair has developed between him and the crowd. Nice to see and hear. Football fans aren't all bad are they!
15:00 Swansea v Southampton = REFEREE :- Anthony Taylor. Assistants :- L Betts & J Collin. 4th Official :- C Breakspear.
Maybe we could give this defender a run-out, I heard he used to be a bit good...? please log in to view this image Photo is of Mauricio, who played in tonight's staff match at St. Mary's. Jaidi, Jimenez etc. all also played.
Jose mentioned in his post match interview that it was good to have Big Vic in the side as he gives better protection to him & Lovren
To be honest, I think it is a bit of an insult to sing 'He's off to Brazil' and 'He's going home' when we all know that his contract is nearly up. Not much of a 'love in' in my view.
That Joe's Ice Cream takes some beating, My oldest son plays for Mumbles 1st team, and we get Joe's Ice Cream every Saturday after the game!.................
Why do we need to rush new young players into our team: Clyne, Gallagher, Shaw and Ward-Prowse is pretty good going.
