      Yeah that's a good point but we are quite reliant on the width we get from Jonno and to lesser extent Enrique so it will be interesting to see if there is enough guille and creativity to go out and get the first goal. Certainly a bit of pressure on Aspas to be a factor today but i can't but think it would have been better to bring in Sterling and shift Henderson inside. that way it would have mattered less that we are missing two attacking full bakcs because both of our wide players would have been genuine attacking players.

      Having thought about it Toure will offer just as much going forward as Andre but we might miss a bit from the left without Jose.

      With all those CB's on the back line we should not be losing many headers, especially on the far posts though Jose must be carrying a knock because he has been pretty good thus far this early season

      So is it Agger at LB or Sakho? I think either will be fine, but it's such an unusual back four from us!

      Sakho I'd guess.

      Hope this is a case of picking the best players for the job and not just that Brendan can't make his mind up which CB pairing is best.

      I have never been keen on players playing out of position, sometimes it ruins their confidence and sets them back weeks when they have a bad game in a less familiar role.

      Very weird line up. 4 centre halves in one game, no full backs which are crucial in our system.



      We can try scummer tactics with Sturridge  ;D

      Come on redmen. Let's send saints back home with nil points.

      Quite like that line up.  Maybe it's a bit defensive with 4 cb's but they're also an attacking threat from set pieces and hopefully will keep us solid at the back when the pressure's on, allowing Lucas and Stevie to push up.

      We've got plenty on the bench if needed to give us a bit of flare later on but let's consolidate first off, then go for the kill.

      Come on you Reds!!!!!

      Agree to a point Saint but I'm pretty sure Sakho and Toure have played a bit of football at full back.

      Nothing more certain than if we do concede it will be from a header :)

      NBCSN here in the States just showed Brendan's prematch interview -- said they're managing Enrique's knee.

      Southampton are going to try and hit us down the wings.  There's no doubt about that.

      Aspas can't get in the game, his one touch was very disappointing.

      Lucas has been an absolute beast so far.
