Match Day Thread Southampton vs Brentford Tues 11th Jan 19:45

Gone for 3 CB then, seems sensible given our RB situation.

Surprised to see both Tella & Redmond start after Saturday.

 

Looks a good line up; Bench looks proper strong too.

 

Happy with that lineup...I have a good feeling for this match. This worries me greatly

 

Interesting seeing Small on the bench. Good that he is back so quickly from his enforced isolation

Are the right backs the only real absentees? Bonkers if so. A pretty much fully fit squad except three players all from the same position

 

It matches Brentford up as well.

 

Shame they have Ajer back fit. He's class.

 

Amazing insight it's on a par with my observation that the team with the most goals wins.

 

BBC have Tella right back, wing back.

 

Could be 532 (352) with Tella at RWB, or 523 (343) with JWP at RWB

Or could change during game depending what we need!

 

I forgot about Elyounoussi when looking at the squad . I wonder what has happened to him

 

I like that team - COYS!

 

Covid, apparently.

 

It was going to be my guess. It’s spreading so much and they do such regular testing that people are always going to be out with it it seems

 

My one hope for tonight is that Lyanco scores and reveals an undershirt saying ‘**** your broken foot, at least you’re not dying’.

 

I'd suggest that's not correct.

 

I mean, if we were going to get yet another red card...my money's on the big Brazilian loon.

 

So Ely is also ruled out for the weekend as apparently his covid positive was late suggesting his isolation period starts today

Unless it is “Liverpool positive”

 

I think see who gets sent off today in the first half and take it from there.
