Match Day Thread Southampton v Newcastle United

I can only assume Botman has reported issues otherwise its just Howe being Howe again.

 

Maybe so, hopefully so, but Howe strikes me as the type to press the reset button after a bad one and go back to what he’s super familiar with.

 

It's the same 11 but Schar in for Botman.

 

So explain me this - how does “fatigue” play the main part in the Bournemouth debacle, then more or less the same side starts? Someone’s telling porkies.

 

The truth was probably just Bournemouth just killed us

 

He didn't say it was all down to fatigue tbh, he also said Bournemouth were very good, which they were. Bournemouth had already beaten Man City in November when City were flying, beaten Arsenal and hammered Man U away, anyone who was thinking Bournemouth was going to be a routine win was very deluded.

 

Safe, safe.

 

Today isn't going to be one I don't think

 

Man that's confusing.

So you do think it'll be a routine win....if you don't think it isn't going to be one?

 

No I think this will be difficult.. I edge towards a Newcastle win, but Southampton looked pretty sharp recently and we're away which is never easy

 

Should be. But these are the type of games we fall short, but that happened last game. We can’t be caught with our pants down two games running surely?

 

Sulemana is also out with a hamstring injury.

 

Oh that's good news..

 

Looked easy a few weeks ago when we beat Man Utd, spurs and arsenal away?
Mindset has a lot to do with it.

 

Looked easy but it wasn't mate.. They all missed chances

 

Ill eat my hat if we win this..

 

Ramsdale is injured too, so they've lost three key players just at the right time for us.

 

That's a plus for them
