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 :lol:

 

Protection of the back four is my worry.

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.

Southampton look pretty attack minded like so could be difficult.

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.

Hope it's not a mass of confusion due to not having any match time together. ;)
