Wallsendmag Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Need a good performance from Hayden today. He'd been poor for the 2/3 games leading up to him being dropped and he's playing in place of a very important player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Fucking Shane Long bound to score. Loves playing against us, the little shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The team is fine ffs. Merino will play a part. Ridiculous reaction from some Really? I think most are just a tiny bit surprised, but as been said, it's probably because of International duty and Rafa doing his rotation stuff. Shit team, that. aye.. obviously trust Rafa but on paper to me it looks one of the worst we could have got with those 18 Just needed Diame to start to be the worst Pretty over the top imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Mitro is just done now, isnt he? Heard he was one of Serbia's better players in both their games and instumental in them qualifying for the WC. Not even on the bench for us.. again Thought he'd get one more shot tbh I don't agree with him not being involved at all, can only assume he's pissed Rafa off in some way. Our strikers are shit, we should have him on the bench at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 This isn't surprising at all, Rafa never plays a lot players coming off an international break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 f***ing Shane Long bound to score. Loves playing against us, the little s***.

TRon Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Southampton's attack potentially has more goals than ours. That wouldn't take much our starting forwards cost a sum total of about £6m. Maybe Ritchie will score, he's due one by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really knows if he's better or worse than Clark. Only think I can think of is that against Spurs he didnt look the fastest player, which might be a problem against Long. But we'll probably sit deep and not allow any space in behind anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It could be a smart move by Rafa. They’ll have been working all week on trying to contain Merino. LeJeune was our best player in pre season by a long way.. he has to get a chance. Clarke had a busy game against Wales too. This might freshen things up. And on the plus side.. Merino could always be brought on for Ayoze during the game.. play the no.10 role to perfection and give Rafa something to think about... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'm amazed that these days top footballers can't play three games in a week. That said, trust in Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Rafa plenty of times last season rotated the squad after an international break. So no surprise he has again. Don't explain Atsu starting ahead of say Murphy like. But you're correct, Rafa does go a bit magoo when there's an international break, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its that they can't, its more that Rafa has had two weeks with Legeune, Shelvey and Hayden, where as hes only had 2 days with Merino and Clark.

Stottie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Long and Gabbiadini According to Transfermarkt, Gabbiadini has never played second striker for them. That sounds like a defensive CM pairing for them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight injury ? if so even more reason to start Murphy i would say, but it's fair enough if Atsu hasn't travelled anywhere and has recovered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
