Southampton (a) build up and match thread

[Fosterbloke]

Every win is massive but Southampton are capable of beating anyone on their day so yes this will be huge going into the Man Utd game.

I expect us to spank Utd or at least I really hope we do!

[baitman]

we never seem to do well against well organised teams that graft and close us down. we can counter attack against open attacking teams, but these ****s can often play with a bit more. we need to ensure our midfield isnt over run.
it might make some sense to go with more bodies in midfield for the first half to stifle their pressing, we might still nick a goal.

[Fosterbloke]

Let's go with one up front and Allen in midfield. Suarez could do with a rest I think.

pity Uruguay have a game as he could of had a 2 week rest after this although its a good thing that its in europe saying that we should pull out all our players for the internationals

This won't work, our form is based on scoring lots if goals. I really think looking at how we're playing that we are going flat out to win every game. I wouldn't rest anyone now in the position we are in. We drop our biggest threats and other teams will fancy their chances more. Remember what all those draws used to feel like?

Regardless of how poor they have been recently United is our toughest remaining away fixture.

Absolutely.

Think I'd actually be tempted to shift Johnson and Flanagan around. I think Flanno looks better at LB than RB.

Johnson right back though. He was woeful last game at left back . let him play his way into some form in his best position.

Yep, that looks like the right team. I'd have Johnson on the right side this time though... He was terrible on the left last time out.

I hope we've done some defensive work.
