Southampton home

[Norbs]

we have played them 3 times this season without scoring so i admire your optimism

Any news on Coutinho's fitness?

It was just a dead leg so my guess is that he might make the bench against Southampton.

[RedReet]

Is that gabbiadini injured or gone off the boil?

He got injured at the start of March when in good form. Since he's came back, he's played 4 games without scoring. He was hooked early against Hull as he barely touched the ball, but to be far to him, he had zero service. He played relatively well against Chelsea a few days before that.

That's him nailed on to score then

[RedReet]

I think he'll score a pen.

I'd like to see origi keep getting into those positions driving forwards from the channels, get it out his feet & lash it at goal ala the mbappe kid, especially coming in from the right. Instead he seems to like to roll the ball under his foot bust a stepover or two and loose possession!

he needs to spend some time with gerrard at the academy so he can slap them stepovers out of him.

Depending on coutinho but i am hoping he'll be ok i'd go -

mig

milner
lovren
matip
clyne

can
wijnaldum
Lallana

coutinho
firminho
Sturridge

Origi seems a bit of the pace and i just fancy that Sturridge might have something to prove/show whether to try and stay or to get himself a decent move, he might be well up for a few games to show he's still got something to offer

[baitman]

Its worth gving sturridge 45mins to see if he is arsed.
he might not have the pressing of origi but he knows where the goal is. With cout, firmi, llama and gini around him he can just goal hang and occupy the defenders cos they will be **** scared to mve more than five yards away from him.

[Charly]

I agree...
Origi just doesnt provide much threat. I think we should give Sturridge the next three games to show he can cut it, if not, its time to say goodbye, if we can find a buyer

Oh hes going 100%.
If we had a better option he'd be left to get splinters in his arse and get no more than five minutes a game so we could sell him.

[Le Chef]

Cant believe y'all are dropping Lucas, something like 3 assists in his last 5 or something I read.

[Fosterbloke]

No way is Sturridge starting

[red g]

Agree baitman, almost certain he will go probably to West ham rip up the league injury free next year including a hat trick against us.

I'd be tempted to keep him in, with Can and Lallana in front of him - opportunity for Wijnaldum to take a breather before hopefully coming back into the team with regained focus. Origi to the bench for similar reasons in favour of Sturridge. Providing Coutinho is fit to start.

[Norbs]

Knowing us we'll offer him a 5yr £120k a week deal at turned of the season
