[CC] Southampton (A): Build Up

[BigChief]

Edit: Weds 2nd Dec; 19:45; Sky Sports 1

I'm buzzing after that Swansea game and our injured players returning.

This game is at St Mary's and Sky Sports are covering it. The team I would like to see but won't happen:

Bogdan
Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Lucas Allen
Lallana Coutinho Texeira
Benteke

Bringing on Sturridge and Henderson for Coutinho and Benteke. Not sure Klopp will go without Can and/or Milner yet.

Tough game, be a close one. Great one for Sturridge, Hendo & Ibe to get more game time.

[Bender]

Klopp"Coutinho had a very intensive session yesterday, but we decided 2 or 3 days ago that we didn’t want to risk him for this game."Now I think Coutinho’s fit. I saw him in the dressing room and he looks good. I think he’s ready for Southampton."

[BigChief]

Cool, thanks Bender. Would really like to see how Texeira and Coutinho link up. I'm sure they can do the same as Couts/Firmy.

Be amazedballs if Sturridge started this, hopefully give him 30 minutes. Hendo likewise 45 mins for him. Can/Allen/Lucas in the engine room with Coutinho/Firmino/Benteke

I think Moreno and Clyne need a rest tbh, they cover some ground during a game.

Who else have we got though? Enrique? What about the right? I agree they could probably do with a rest.

[BigChief]

Clyne and Moreno are my worries too. Can't really risk Randall in this game, Tadic or Mane will eat him for breakfast. (Could do with Wisdom back, apparently Utd/Arsenal fans were really impressed with him against Arsenal on the weekend.) Clyne and Moreno will definitely be rested for the next EL game but not before unfortunately.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Brad Smith was resigned only recently so it must mean Klopp rates him somewhat. Highly doubt he'd come in for Moreno here; more likely Clyne is shifted to the left with Randall on the right.

I'm glad we're playing away. It's nice to hear more cheering for the team.

I suppose he could go three at the back and play Milner and Ibe as wing backs......just saying!

You better run

[Fernandinho]

How far is flanno?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

How far is flanno?

19th December according to PhysioRoom, I imagine that's his return to training date thereabouts so we probably won't see him until January.

[Fan65]

With just two games from Wembley we've got to play our strongest team here surely.

No resting players, if Hendo & Sturridge aren't 100% leave them out.

Give them a run vs Newcastle
