Southampton match thread

Mario will go baloistic!

That's dreadful stuff.

Rodgers is a cunt. I'm off to trawl his interviews to find something to use against him.

Let's smash these pricks!!

[Daffy Duck]

At least we've got a lot to bring into the game from the bench, after we've filled our woodwork quota and made their GK man of the match

[brightred]

That's dreadful stuff.

At least I tried!

I wish you luck with that, with the amount of stuff Rodgers says, you'll miss the game!

[wiw]

Is it that odd?

We won 7 out of 8 wasn't it with Sterling up front.

3 games in a week means some rotation is inevitable. Sakho out injured forces Lovren in. We're already established Balotelli should never play without Sturridge, and he's just come back from injury (and didn't look that hot on Thurs night) so I'd imagine we're being careful and rightly so. Thus I guess Sterling up top was the only sane option

Moreno out is the only one I think is a bit odd, but Markovic and Ibe on either side should be quite interesting.

Well said

It's still an attacking team despite their being no recognised strikers on the pitch. Throwing Balotelli and Sturridge on after 60/70 is also a nice option to have.

[Boogs]

Heard that he's dropped Sturridge to the bench because he didn't celebrate the goal on Thursday

[wiw]

Sterling 8/1 first goalscorer all board the gravy train

Our number 6 is 55/1

Agree. With Ibe and Markovic on the wings plus Sterling up top, we've plenty of pace to burn, and in Lallana and Coutinho two jinky creators. I think it all depends on how Southampton intends to play us. Let us have the ball or dominate possession.

I meant there* by the way.

They will surely look for a draw? They're above us and don't strictly need to win. I think they are going to press but from deep.

[Fosterbloke]

I'm not feeling Allen in midfield. I hope he releases it early to any of our forwards.

I applaud you Sir!

[kingfunk]

Well... That team is kinda interesting.... Hope it works out boss.

[BigChief]

Mané and Tadić on the bench. This game will make for compelling strategic decisions.

I said they were going for full 11 men defensive against us days ago. Hardly strategic, just **** scared. And rightfully so.
