Article: Fulham v Southampton match thread |Southampton FC, Football

Says on Sky he swung out an arm and caught the top of the head of the opponent climbing all over him. Reckoned possibly a yellow....let's hope it's not overturned.

 

Saints going with a more robust team then, with Rickie and Vickie back in the side.

 

Absolutely shocking to leave Cork out.

 

Shame for Cork, not sure what else he could have done to stake a claim. Hopefully Wanyama can show why he's preferred.

 

Chico didn't exactly act like a manly CB, but for me it was just about a red.

 

What could you expect of a man called Chico?

 

They've not really got any alternative, have they. Not unless Rodallega started.

 

Adam Lallana captains Southampton in what will be his 250th appearance for the club.

 

I came here to see silly reactions. Thank you.

 

So you think most peoples MOTM for the last 2/3 matches deserves to be dropped?

 

He's done a stellar job, but hardly "shocking" as the preferred midfield partnership is back and fit again.

 

Tell you what, why don't you go and tell Pochettino how to do his job properly then.

Personally, I will back the manager. There are several mitigating factors that influence selection beyond the knowledge of a fan.

 

Here's a stream which should be OK if you need one:

If there was a game to get Vic back to fitness, this would be the one.

I would expect to see Cork on around the 70 minute mark.

 

Might as shut down this forum then.

No-one said I wasn't backing him, I'm allowed to disagree with it.

 

Disappointed to see Cork on the bench due to his recent run of MOTM performances.
Puts pressure on Victor to hit the floor running both defensively and his pacing which has on occasion been rather questionable

I'm with SF4L here. That is very tough on Jack Cork and I am glad that it is Feb 1st and not Jan 30th as I bet he'd have his agent chasing round otherwise.

 

I just don't understand why you're getting hysterical about it before the game has even started.

 

Hysterical? For simply disagreeing with the decision to leave Cork out after recent performances? Jeez.

 

Think people get a bit carried away with Cork and I love Vic but feel incredibly sorry for Jack on this one, he has been simply outstanding in recent games.
