That must be pleasing the Saints Board, we were struggling to get 30,000 and much less sometimes towards the end of Sparky's tenure.
Would like to think 30,000 is the bare mínimum being the only PL club in the county of Hampshire, a county with a population of over a million.
I'm gonna say we lose 3-1. But hey, at least we get on the board! Also, the goal will come when we sub Djenepo in at 72 minutes (already down 3 goals). He will score at 73', one minute into his debut. This will be the first of the 20 goals he will score for us this season. Goals: 15' (Stephens poor marking), '38 (wonder strike), '69 (horribly blown set piece, everyone seems to be in the wrong place, no idea whose fault it was), Djenepo 73'. Match scapegoat: Bertrand Guy who we pretend would have made all the difference: Boufal Post match meltdown level (on a scale from 0 to meltdown): 5.3
The only explaination for this, is that you're fancifully predicting Romeu being injured in the 7th minute.
The odds are we will lose this but I want to see graft, guile and grit. In particular, I want to see a goal from us. Points would be lovely but if I have the preceding, that would be ok.
Southampton v Liverpool Referee: Andre Marriner Assistants: Scott Ledger, Simon Long Fourth official: John Brooks VAR: Craig Pawson Assistant VAR: Richard West
With both penalties re-taken three times, as VAR will show that Salah wasn't ready, and Gunn must have moved early, and, and, and...
We beat Spurs with this team in March Up front we now have Che and Danny available and have lost Charlie Kevin, Moussa and Sophie also available So, anythings possible ... right??? ANGUS GUNN (GK) JAN BEDNAREK JANNIK VESTERGAARD MAYA YOSHIDA YAN VALERY RYAN BERTRAND PIERRE-EMILE HØJBJERG (C) ORIOL ROMEU SUBS: SHANE LONG (45′) STUART ARMSTRONG (73′) NATHAN REDMOND JAMES WARD-PROWSE CHARLIE AUSTIN
so we started with 3 CBs, 3 midfielders and 2 strikers and then upped to 3 strikers and scored 2 at the end. (although it was Valery and JWP that scored) Yep anythings possible!
