I've just seen that Southampton have tied the EPL record for the worst-ever start to a season through twenty matches.

If we don't win this, Amorim should be fired, and I'm 100% serious.

Come on, don't be so ridiculous.

Onana and hojlund

Give bayinder a run in the first team and send hojlund to the reserves.

Oh shut up

Did you??
Sure he made some saves, but he never looked comfortable and his passing was terrible.
He did great last time with those penalty saves, but that does not make him a good keeper.

Amsterdam Devil · Thursday at 19:57

Yeah finally the line-up I want, looking forward to this.

Oranges038 · Thursday at 19:58

Maguire injured?

Robbie Boy · Thursday at 19:58

Nice bitta Stone Roses.

tomaldinho1 · Thursday at 19:58

Very interested for this CB three - feel like De Ligt, if central, is what we're planning for from next season, yoro/martinez either side.

Amorim said he's being rotated, because he was tired.

Harsh on Zirkzee to not getting a start here. But, in general this is very good lineup.

Could argue it would be harsh on Hojlund to start back to back games against elite defensive partnerships only to be benched when an easy opponent shows up. That already happened in the home game against Everton when he could have used the confidence boost that would have given. I must admit though, even as one of his supporters on this board, he has to have a good game tonight and if not he has to be benched for an extended period.

Catt · Thursday at 20:00

Wut! No Maguire?

Caught a cold I think.

He was ill before the Arsenal game and got a bit of a knock in it.

That’s how I’d set it up, but since Amorim hasn’t yet started Garnacho as a wingback, I’m inclined to think it will be Amad at RWB, Maz at LWB, with Garnacho playing as an inside forward. Time will tell.

Dibling up top, too, takes away the wide speed threat. KWP and Sugarawa are decent on the ball, but not insanely fast. More of an argument for it, but it's Amad out wide and Maz at LWB, so Amorim doesn't agree with my take. Maybe just doesn't rate Garnacho apart from goalscoring (worse things to say about a player).

Orange Tree · Thursday at 20:04

This is a 6-pointer.

Catt · Thursday at 20:04

We're the opposite of Arsenal, we don't want corners

FerociousCorgis · Thursday at 20:04

i hate when players act like the ball didnt clearly go out on them. Would rather see yellows for that than for waving the imaginary card i swear.

Ah, I didn't see that and I never even looked to see that he is on the bench.

Dibbling is a contender for shortest socks in the league. Amazes me that that professionals don’t want proper shin protection.

Tom Van Persie · Thursday at 20:06

Yoro looks really good

Catt · Thursday at 20:06

Less chaos

GwilDor · Thursday at 20:06

My regular screener isn’t available today, so if anyone can send some running water to my inbox it’d be appreciated.

Struggling to progress the ball

Neither is onana, lost count of the amount of times he’s lost possession from passing it out. Also bayindir at least has presence in the goal onana manages to make himself look 4ft somehow.

Bayindir is horrific with his passing and didn't look like he had much presence against Spurs. I'm fairly confident he'll be sold in the Summer and we'll never hear of him again.

After 7 minutes :lol:

Rajma · Thursday at 20:07

We really are bad at progressing the ball up the pitch when pressed aggressively

Gordon S · Thursday at 20:07

I am waiting for Rasmus to get into his groove. Just know there is a better player in there. But he is going to make me wait isn`t he?

rimaldo · Thursday at 20:08

southampton manager looks like a disgraced school caretaker.

Yes, obviously, but also more obviously you don't know what you're talking about. His passing was on par with Onana's, and he made some terrific saves besides the two penalty saves. This match is as close to a dead rubber as we're going to get, and Onana could use some competition. That is probably why the other poster was thinking Bayindir should play.

Zirkzee should have been rewarded with a start IMO

This. I don't know why Amorim is persisting with Hojlund on this poor run

Norris Cole · Thursday at 20:09

worth remembering that southampton were well on top for the first 30 mins of the game earlier in the season and should have gone ahead through a penalty.

don't think they are as totally hopeless as their record suggests
