Match Day Thread Leicester v. Southampton. Thursday 19th April 7:45pm

I know the source is very dubious however, I just read some comments from a Saints Facebook Forum (probably fake news) from a chap claiming to work at Saints who saw Boufal and a foreign looking chap who he thinks was his agent having a bust up with Les Read. He couldn't stop to listened but implied that Boufal's "illness" is a tactical one to cover over obvious issues blowing up in the background.
Interesting if true but am taking it with a pinch of salt

 

I'm sure he'll do well at a club that are looking to replace a midfielder who's been injured all season?

 

Up the middle for Charlie (please)!

 

Possibly the biggest Saints game since April 28th 2012!

COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!!!!

Just done the Malaga FC stadium tour. The guide was telling me they are 17 points adrift, with 15 to play for. Suddenly our problems don`t seem so great! COYS!

 

My team: McCarthy, Davis, Yoshida, Davis, Bertrand, Davis, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Davis, Davis, Austin.

We need Davis. Davis to score at both ends and Austin to score late on to make it 2-1.

 

Same as Saturday I believe.

 

Serious shout out to ALL .

Lets hope for the best , but if the worst happens , lets stick together ok ?

For tonight I am talking about .

 

Don't worry. If it goes wrong, I've got a plan.

 

a lot resting on Tadic and Long up front!

COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!!!

 

If you don't mind , I will wait for a few hours before clicking Like .....

 

Happy with that team and glad we've stuck with a back 3. First goal is vital tonight so let's not go too crazy too early. Won't take long to frustrate Leicester and the crowd.

I'm going for a 3-1 away win. Up the ****ing Saints

 

I know it’s 3 points for a win, but I would happily settle for those two.

 

just a note for my next match thread, Giroud is starting for Chelsea. keep safe Olivier! xxx

 

Pretty sure Burnley will know how to keep him quiet.

 

That side did nothing wrong for 70 minutes on Saturday, so I'm quite happy that it gets another go. Indeed, even in defeat, there was no-one I was looking to see dropped (when given consideration to the alternative options available).

Of course, swap managers around, and we'd have seen about seven changes for us tonight.

The other thing that pleases me is that by retaining the three CBs, we hopefully won't get caught in behind. As I said the other day, it really is what Leicester are all about.

 

Come on saints

 

I’m hoping if we are leading going into the last 20 mins something like 2-0 we take Tadic and Long off and play 1-5-5. Let them try and break us down .

 

here we go then
