BeloEmre Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Just realised Tiote is on the bench. Didn't realise he was anywhere near match fit. Good stuff. Puts pressure on Anita and Colback, who we are all worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 SMC not playing Aarons until the window closes. A shrewd move... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Does Williamson have a knock or is he just gone? ded Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Just realised Tiote is on the bench. Didn't realise he was anywhere near match fit. Good stuff. Puts pressure on Anita and Colback, who we are all worried about. Tiote doesn't really solve the issue most have with those two together though, if anything he makes it worse Protection of the back four is my worry.

Ikon Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Pretty miffed about Perez not starting yet again. Especially when it's in place of Obertan. Annoying habit of not playing our best players. Is your name Matthew? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 As a side note it must be the first time in over a season I have been excited/ nervous before a match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Pleasantly surprised that he's felt able to pitch Colo and Mbemba together at centre back. Unpleasantly surprised that he's gone for Obertan. Hopefully we can keep it to 0-0 until we get the subs on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouldy_uk Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Predictions? I reckon 3-2 to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Southampton XI: Stekelenburg, Cedric, Fonte, Yoshida, Targett, Wanyama, S. Davis, Tadić, Mané, Rodriguez, Pelle. Seems very attacking Yoshida is a big step down on Alderweireld. Bertrand out too, and Schneiderlin was part of the midfield screen. Defensively they'll probably be weaker. Rodriguez back starting. He only got a few minutes in their Europa League games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Line up looks OK. Bit concerned he see's us as having two options, normal/attacking. Dejong should always be in the side for me. Relatively optimistic atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm disappointed with Obertan over Aarons or Perez but no Gouffran or Williamson after the preseason games is a relief. Good to see Chancel go straight in too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I think our defence is absolutely there for the taking, as usual. Just gotta hope the midfield protect them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
