      Why do we have a Sunday game when we got Porto on Wednesday? Surely we could have had this game today.. It's not like Southampton have a big schedule. It's sh*t.

      Southampton have turned into a proper bogey team for us these last five years or so..
      So what have we done about it? Bought a scutch of their best players  ;D
      Will it make a difference if we play these players against their old club tomorrow?
      I have absolutely no idea.
      Van Dyke, Mane, Lovren, Lallana, they could all play sh*t and let the occasion get to them.
      or
      They could all put deep the rooted love for their old team aside and shut the home crowd up big time with a top notch performance.

      One things for sure, Mo Salah won't give a F**k who he's playing against.

      Arsenal have Man City next in the league, they are out of the top four race by February. They should replace wenger now rather than summer. We all know he is getting the boot.

      I'm finding it very difficult to watch Liverpool games when they are on Sunday :(

      Hopefully, I would be able :/

      Nonetheless, we need a good win to cement our place in top 4 plus gives us confidence for next Wednesday.

      who'd ve thunk that Arsenal with Aubey, Mickat, Ozil, Lacazette and Welbeck up front would ve done so little.

      Gone for a 2  0 win, for the Reds. Important to bag 3 points today, with Spurs beating the Arse yesterday.

      In fairness they created a decent amount of chances, just a shame most fell to Lacazette, wow we swerved a bullet on that one.

      First thing is get Matip in instead of Lovren. In amongst the controversy about Spurs first pen, it wouldn't have happened at all if Lovren had been able to put his foot through a simple clearance. He missed because he saw Kane running behind him and panicked, something he does a lot. Jürgen needs to stop F***ing about with liability defenders and put in somebody that at least has a chance of being a good defender for us.

      Other than that, if Hendo is being kept for Porto, which makes sense, then I'd go Can, Milner and Ox in midfield. Milner played well against Spurs and should keep his place. Gini, as we know, ain't as good away from home, so I'd go Ox instead. Hopefully be able to take Salah off with half an hour to go and the game in the bag, to rest him for Porto, but I'm not counting on it.

      So

                              Karius

      TAA          Matip     VVD         Robertson

                  Ox      Can     Milner

          Salah          Firmino        Mane

      From a couple of weeks back hoping for a set of results to put us 8 points ahead of Spurs, I'm now hoping we can somehow find ourselves four points ahead of Chelsea by tomorrow at 10pm.

      But call me an old cynic but I can fully picture us heading into this midweek Champions League game with us sitting 5th and unnecessary ramping up of pressure on that last 16 game (which should really be one to enjoy as a mark of our progress back to the top table).

      I have plenty of faith in our players ability to hand over heavy beatings when they are in the mood but I'm still not fully convinced of their mental strength.  Going to Southampton is going to be a hostile environment, and can the likes of Mane, Lovren, Lallana, the Ox and (so soon after leaving) even van Dijk, completely forget about that?  I'm hoping they can.  Or I'm hoping the other lads drag them over the line.

      No doubt about it - we should be beating these and if we don't then it's another question mark over the players mentality.

      And on that doubtful note - up the reds!! 👊

      Full strength team, no mistakes. Establish a comfortable lead and rotate through substitution. Get the job quickly and efficiently and onto Porto.

      This has always been my take on it.
      Anything other and we are in for a fall. It goes without saying, they are in a relegation fight, and all teams in that position seem to turn us over when we start with fringe players. Usually they go ahead, and too often we can’t claw it back, regardless of how much possession we have.
      Surely we have learnt our lesson, and get comfortably ahead before we start testing players !

      Karius
      TAA   VVD   Lovren   Robertson
      Chamberlain   Henderson   Lallana
      Salah   Firmino   Mane

      A bit nervous about this one.

      I see Dejan has talked about himself being one of the best defenders in the league.

      Nice one Dejan. Maybe could have waited until after this one mate?

      If we don't treat this game with all the intensity of a must win cup tie then we're screwed. Let Spurs or Chelsea get the drop on us and all the pressure is stacked on us.Add one serious injury to the mix and the wheel comes off.

      So pissing about and screwing it up defensively are off the menu.

      May be Rafa can do us a favour....can't see it as they have been poor apart from the first half dozen games. Jonjo will get sent off...even money chance.

      Saints 4th from bottom with a goal difference of -10 so either they are scoring plenty, or not conceding many!
      If they are defending Door with the bus parked, we will struggle to score, so we need to be patient and not all push up. Make sure we don’t let a soft one in.
      We can surely win it, but it’s not the time for rotation. Full strength, get the breakthrough, get a couple more when they open up, then rest a few.
      Gone for 0-2 but am always nervous before these sort of games !

      Well we are certainly in the must win stage of the season.
      Don’t hold out much hope that we will keep a clean sheet and we desperately need Mane to start clicking into some goal scoring form
      Gonna go for another nervy second half performance and to hold onto a 2-1 win.

      The way it's looking at the moment with is conceding sh*t penalties and United getting away with hacking opponents over in the box, you have to feel they will get a lucky win at Newcastle and we/the ref/the linesman/the 4th official/phone a fried/ask the audience will find a weird and wonderful way to hand Saints a goal on a plate.
