    Yeah, I agree with you on that.

    So do I. Stable defence has got us our recent points.

    I think the fact that this is a must-win game for City (all their games are must-wins from now on) could be in our favour. As long as our defence keeps a high line and we close them down like we did at Old Trafford and Wigan we can get them frustrated and hit them on the counter. Whoever plays at CB for them (even Kompany would be a bit rusty) is going to struggle against Sir Rickie, and with Lallana now fully fit, and Shaw and Clyne rampaging down the flanks, we will emerge victorious. 3-1 Saints.

    I'd settle for that. Need to keep ticking points over to keep confidence high.

    Shame Shaw and Clyne could both be out injured.

    Both are in training, so still hopeful. Mustn't risk them though if not quite ready.

    It's dreadful. At least we don't have to see it on matchdays.

    Anyone tell what make of watch that is? See if it has Eterna written on it ;)

    Unless he takes his shirt off which he did against Southend on the last day of our first season in league 1.

    Thought I saw Shaw, but I decided it was Ward-Prowse. I actually came here to write that, in my opinion, based on the gallery of photos, we'll see Fox start on the left and Clyne will start in his usual position. I also note that Frazer Richardson is up the front in the sprint there. Must admit, I didn't see Ramirez either. Perhaps I ought to have another look and see if I can see Shaw as well. ;)

    PS. Fonte's coulds start too. That would be good. Hooiveld looks slightly worried in his photo with Rickie..!

    EDIT: I take it all back. Shaw is in the background of the sprinting photos, specifically between Spider and Clyne. Thought that was Ward-Prowse at first, but Shaw is wearing shorts and WP is wearing longs. Let's hope everyone is as fit as they look.

    Don't think Jos has done much wrong but he would scare me against City.
