    My birthday is on Tuesday and I know full well that there is a Wanyama home shirt in the wardrobe with a hands off warning on it, a bit like the real Wanyama.

    It's a great kit. Different and it looks really good.

    I don't want to, but his shorts are a bit like Eric Morecombe's. I swear the legs have metal hoops fitted.

    Today is the day. Forget the press and focus on the Saints. Come on you reds! #wemarchon

    So worried. I'm always nervous on match days, but it is like I have lost hope today. Given myself a good slap in the chops and a stiff drink. :)

    532?
    Stekelenburg
    Soares Caulker Fonte Yoshida Targett
    Davis Wanyama Romeu
    Pelle Mane

    I'm really not a big fan of 532 and we've only seen it work against Everton when we played super defensively. I guess it may be a way of giving our fullbacks more protection instead of relying on a not yet reliable midfield unit for shielding. Personally think it may be a mistake and will lead to us looking flat up front, but very happy to be proved wrong!

    Good to see wanyama in there. 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 depending on where you show the wing backs

    Looks like it's 5-3-2, like at Palace last year.

    So 3 at he back with Cedric and Targett getting up and down the wings then? Romeu and Vic the wardrobe doors, Davis and Mane behind the Big Man up top? I like this line up.

    Yep 5-3-2 when defending turning into 3-5-2 when attacking.

    From four attacking players to two attacking players. Almost one extreme to another.

    But without any doubt, I would rather this. At least until Bertrand and Claise are fit, and we have signed Toby's replacement.

    Me too. Keep the clean sheet, wait for Mane and Pelle to conjure up something.
