So do we reckon Jose will start tonight? I'd throw him in. Let him injure Pogba in the opening minutes then wave his Euro winners medal at him as he goes off on the stretcher.
Looking forward to the game and hoping we have ironed out the slow reactions that led to the Watford goal. I expect Mourhino will have noticed how easily Cedric was beaten in the air, at the back post, and be prepared to isolate him against Zlatan, for the knock downs for others running in, which might be a case for playing Cuco, for his extra height. Or dare I say Maya at RB? Does Puel have history of playing 3 CBs? This might be a good game to do so, IMO. I have just read that Zlatan, in his time at PSG, scored 11 goals against Puel teams. I hope that was more due to the difference between the levels of each team and not due to his liking the way Puel sets his team's up. Fingers crossed we can frustrate them and keep the crowd quieter than usual.
we need to start with the big guns for this one. I want Ibrahimovic taken 'out of commission' - karate kid style
This is the perfect game for Saints, before Pogba and Manchester United get use to one another. I fully expect at worst a draw. Saints have got to go out and boss possession. I think the biggest threat to Saints comes from Mata.
You will find no bigger supporter of Maya as a super CB than I but no. No, no. No. No. No, no, no. No. Vin
Surely the most popular team in Dorset must be Bournemouth or do these plastics only support the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United? PS I was in Reading for two week and did not see one Manchester City top. Why do plastics support the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea? City are as good as any of them in terms of teams likely to win things and have arguably the best player in the PL.
Well, my finances are looking up. Just put this month's mortgage on a win for Saints tonight. And next month's mortgage on 2-0 to us. What could possibly go wrong? Vin
