Match Day Thread Southampton FC v Sunderland AFC – Saturday 9th March 2024 - KO 15:00

Isn't that exactly what people, including him possibly, have been asking for ...

... there are ten other players and we don't know the formation yet tbf.

 

We are missing so many players that any team would struggle and have a bench full of kids

 

Absolutely but our bench is always full of kids, injuries or not.

 

At the daughter's tonight for a family catch up and a few drinks - was going to be good but think I'll start now.

 

The creative burden is on him because he's the only one in that lineup who can pick a pass in the final third.

I don't understand giving him zero minutes against some of the worst sides in the league where we dominated the ball but couldn't create anything but then we start him against 2 of the top 4.

We are continually mistreating and misusing our players.

 

According to Danny:



Apart from Burstow - I'm happy with that, given the injuries, suspension etc.
Auochiche to cause havoc second half when he comes on

 

So, who should we be playing alongside him and, shouldn't Neil be capable?

 

Mundle ahead of Adil puzzles me. Mundle hasnt been great so far.

Delighted Rigg keeps his place, best of all those who have been on the bench recently. Levels above for me. He has to be the main mqn next season.

I am starting to think the Birmingham connections who got us Jobe, are too close to drop him.

Burstow? Hemir shouldnt be playing because he isnt ready. Rusyn should be ahead of Burstow, unless he is off in the summer. Burstow has some positive attributes, and maybe Rigg is the man to find him.

 

6 -0 **** off didds,

 

Aouchiche. You know the one on Tuesday who came on and actually created chances?

Neil plays deeper, not in the creative positions.

 

Looks very much like 433, which could explain Burstow starting

No idea why we are continuing with Burstow, but hoping he bags a hat trick today. Feel a bit for Adil as I do believe he could play as part of a 3 man midfield

 

There’s no explanation for him still starting games here. It’s a joke.

 

I'd say it looks like were playing it tight for 60 minutes and bringing Aouchiche and others on.

Playing Aouchiche and Rigg, from the start, might have us overrun.

 

Went well for us on Tuesday.

 

OK mate, you seem to be on a massive downer before we even kick off and looking for the negatives.

I'll be hoping it all clicks, Rigg takes centre stage and Burstow plays a blinder.

Call me naive but I don't intend to spend my afternoon agonising over every little thing.

Ha'way the Lads!!!

 

Burstow to score anytime 4/1

£10 - £50....

He did it last time....remember?

 

Good luck.

 

No sound again from Danny and Frankie?
