Match Day Thread Southampton V Liverpool - League Cup - 2nd December 2015 ko 19:45

And, as ever, preview now available.

 

I actually feel that Saints fans are not really very good at doing that. "We" have become a little too expectant, in my opinion. Too often the groans start if we are not winning within half an hour. The whole ground needs to make so much noise that Lovren's agent is on the phone to Les in the morning telling him that his client's head has been turned by the noise*

.


* Les can then tell him to **** off

 

No I do agree with this completely. As controversial as it may be to some, I think our home support is shocking 80% of the time. Tonight that can change, let's try and be the 12th man. I feel it's more important in these cup games as well with the bigger away support.

Getting into Lallana and Lovrens head might actually help as well, I can see Lovren getting wound up and doing something stupid if we abuse him too much, so let's do it

 

I was a little taken back by the Lovren song just as the game kicked off last season. It was live on television and I just remember hoping the wife wasn't watching as the Northam burst into "Oh Dejan Lovren, we wanna know oh oh oh oh oh oh why you're such a c***"

 

I don't know DTLW..... you could have copied and pasted, rather than hurting our eyes with a trip to Saints Web

 

If Caulker is playing CB, does this mean Yoshida is RB or will Cedric be back?

 

I would say that is the only question over the team tonight (unless Ron suprises everyone!) I would personally hope it's Cedric. But then I would of had Maya had of Caulker at CB so who knows.

 

Ron may think that either Caulker is better than Maya or that the difference is so marginal that it is better to give him game time.

 

Yeah I'm not moaning about it or anything, but I wouldn't like to have both Caulker and Maya playing.

 

Indeed, I agree. Why not do as FLT suggests next time. I visit TSW only by links put up here, and then only very reluctantly.

 

I take that on board. But, I'm paid to write for SaintsWeb and to find ways to bring audience/hits/traffic to their website, which ups the amount SW brings in through advertising, which gives them more to reinvest into the website and, their writer(s).

So, it'd be pretty counter-productive for me to be 'giving away' the content for free.

Clicks is money, folks.

(Cynical lesson in online journalism, over )

 

OK, fair enough. I don't see adverts on my computer anyway, so it's win-win.

 

Just back from Spain in time for tonight's game. It's going to feel very cold.

 

Liverpool are training at the Silverlake.?

 

So Caulker is definitely starting tonight. I really hope Cedric is starting at RB.

 

That makes 28,000 of us

 

What about the other 4,683.?

 

Well, a lot of them will be Liverpool fans.

 

Ah yes.! Blind spot there. Just goes to show that I'm not generally aware that other football clubs exist in reality.
