Don't like this fixture, unlucky ground for us is St Marys, the last time we won there was back in 2003. But still going for a 1-3 win.
I suppose we all thought the same thing 24hrs before the game at White Hart Lane Gareth and look what happened...it's been games like that one that has installed new found belief in us all this season, belief that on any given day we can beat anyone.. I admit St Mary's can be a sucker punch of a ground if we're not careful but as I said earlier I just think we'll be too much for them over the 90 mins.. our hunger will starve them..
I think BR
will be careful..and opt for the Allen addition to MF to strengthen the pack in place of Raheem..no disrespect to Sterling but at least it gives us a plan B should we need it later in the game..
Since 23rd November, in games against some of the teams in the top 7 their results have been the following:
Arsenal (A) - Loss
Chelsea (A) - Loss
Man City (H) - Draw
Spurs (H) - Loss
Everton (A) - Loss
Arsenal (H) - Draw
Chelsea (H) - Loss
Their record is shocking. Only collecting 2 points from a possible 21.
Was gonna mention those exact games myself mate..
Tottenham had an extra pair of legs on the day with their new manager on the touchline and a rejuvenated Adabyour back up front.
I noticed when Chelsea beat them 3-0 all 3 of their goals came in the
last half hour...
Saying that, the majority of our wins this season have been gouged out in the
first half hour and Southampton will be fully aware of that which is why when those chances fall at Sturridge & Suarez's feet(which they will do) in the first 5/10 minutes we need to be burying them to take the pressure off.
The result of this game will determine mine and this whole forums mood over the next 10 days..I REALLY hope we win as the thought of logging on to read rants about what player should've done WHAT,WHERE,WHEN AND WHY during the game is not something I'm looking forward too..
If and its a big if, we come away with nothing tomorrow i'm NOT gonna give up on these lads.. They've been fantastic and have lifted the club,fans and the city and BR has given us all new belief that we CAN achieve..so , give us the same attitude like the FA cup game at Arsenal and we'll be too much for Southampton..I have every faith in every player..
Oh, and I agree with WaltonL4 , a certain Luis Suarez is gonna bust the onion bag again very soon...not scoring must be doing his head in
See you all after the game for either "Post match Delights" or "Post match Frustration"
I'm gonna go for a cheeky 2-1 win.. toughy but I think we'll do it...
Are we playing in White or Purple dya think?.. Purple I'd say?.. Been lucky for us that kit this year !!
