Southampton (A) - EFL Cup SF, 1st leg, 7:45pm, 11/01/17 - Utah Saints, U-U-U-Utah Saints!

We're fucked

I am much more concerned about the Mancs on Sunday,

I think we will comfortably be in this tie for the second leg and a big performance at Anfleld will see us through if we need it. really don't fancy the trip at the weekend though. losing to the Scum just throws a black cloud over everything,

Doesn't feel like a semi this, even this thread is only 3 pages.

Hopefully the players don't share your complacency and obsession with game after next game.

Hope matip and henderson are OK for Sunday

[Arl arse]

Coutinho on the bench, Welcome back mate.

[jimmycase]

 

Fair enough Id say. Midfield isnt going to be blessed with pace though, is it?!

[The Golden Eel]

I'd have played Origi instead of Lucas myself

[Jairzinho]

Wonder if that will be a diamond midfield, would probably suit the personnel.

Lucas, Can, Wijnaldum as midfield...and people say we don't need to buy...

[Red House]

Time to see how we fare without Sadio. Does come across as very slow side.

[Original202]

About the best we can do with what's available. Other than Karius.

I've been banging on our CM is lightweight and our weakness all season (rather than defence) glad to find someone like minded.

Another good opportunity to have a look at our potential summer transfer targets tonight with the added bonus that we get to check them out again very soon in the 2nd leg.

It shows it up more when henderson is out and of course now mane is missing so lallana has to go higher....cou coming back will help - but we just always look an injury away from bare bones in a good few positions and for my money we haven't done enough in 3 windows now to fix it...

 

Let's hope we are lucky with injuries rest of season and our lack of depth does not do for us - i am dead scared it will though.

 

Lucas should never be starting games for a team who play like we are meant to/who have ambitions of winning things - which one of our rivals would he get a game for?

[suzy]

Bit nervous about Karius - hope he doesn't make a mistake or he will get slaughtered

[Captain Turdseye]

We come not to lose.

Me too. I prefer Lallana further back and having Origi's pace would have stopped them pushing up too much. That team looks slow.

[manwiththestick]

We come not to lose.

We come to give away free kicks twenty yards out.

[Arl arse]

Lucas playing sweeper?

He has a new girlfriend apparently. If that doesn't boost his confidence, not sure what will.

How does she fare with balls coming at her?

[Grinch]

Bit meh that team. Lucas and Can could be a total shitshow unless the German puts in one of his increasingly rare good performances.

She takes them on the chin.
