Paulinho finally puts in a good performance for us, then misses the next game for something non-football related! Typical. Rose is out through injury, so we've got neither first choice fullback. Not much width there.
I like Davies, not quite as dynamic as Rose but a good option on the left. The right flank is a bigger problem.
It will be good to see more of Davies, although the way Rose has progressed in the last two seasons is the lesson to us of prematurely writing off players. I was, like many not impressed with Rose at first, he has changed that perception with some very committed performances.
I would've gone for Dembele in the defensive No10 spot and given Chadli a resbenched Chadli and played Dembele as the defensive No10.
Glad to see Long's not starting, he's had some good games against us and always causes trouble with his pace.
1) this is nothing like an pointless end of season game from either team...tackles flying in and plenty of closing down...think southampton looking way more dangerous 2) how did the lines man miss that offside after 10 mins by southampton? They were at least 2 yards off side 3) what an awful **** up ... only us
A number 10 who's not a very effective number 10, probably. Hey! Harry Kane's playing! I just saw him!
If you're referring to Vert's tackle on Pelle, for me it wasn't even a foul. Just a good old fashioned crunching tackle. Can't do those anymore these days. It's a non-contact sport.
No service to him...Southampton able to mark him out of the game cos there is nothing from lamela and next to nothing from chadli today.
