FosseSpark Posted 26 August 2023 Share Posted 26 August 2023 Like the team. Clearly trusts McAteer's touch and discipline, so not worried about that. He commented that he liked Wanya, but that we couldn't rely.on him to play every week. I imagine he will be in Tuesdays squad. Enzo wants the points and so I think likes Ndidi pressing the opposition high up the pitch. Goals for Ndidi and Iheanacho today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent v Cardiff and midfield collapsed after he went off (a huge tactical blunder by the manager imo.....and yes, I know we scrambled a win) Because most want Casadei in for him to offer more of a goal threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southfox66 Posted 26 August 2023 Share Posted 26 August 2023 (edited) Looking at the squad it looks like the kind of squad we'd play in premier for a cup game, I guess it says we feel we have enough quality to get a comfortable win, be good if our defence looked more convincing today I'm hoping that Justin will get more of a look in and Coady is back sooner than hoped Edited 26 August 2023 by southfox66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays a load of these players that don’t want to be here and they serve up a rotting performance as they have for the last year then what will be your hot take then? They’re better off exiled. Also lowering their value is quite the stretch. Funny how Southampton have played all their players right up until their sale and have got decent money for them but we shun every single one out to the reserves and let all the buying clubs know we desperately need them gone which will almost certainly lead to majority being loaned out on deadline day Edited 26 August 2023 by South Shire Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborofox Posted 26 August 2023 Share Posted 26 August 2023 Don't particularly think McAteer is good enough but happy to be proved wrong. Just shows we lack wingers still. Interesting about Castagne in the squad. I hope that Ian bags today and kicks on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 26 August 2023 Share Posted 26 August 2023 6 minutes ago, Spudulike said: 3 full backs on the bench I assume he sees Castagne as an option if McAteer is struggling, rather than as a FB, he played that spot in preseason. Which leaves JJ as cover for the CBs, Thomas probably making up the numbers, but might get some time to rest Doyle or even Mavididi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic that Casadei got the winner but the midfield shape suffered as soon as he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense having ndidi in there pressing, because they're going to sit deep and maybe our most likely source of a goal is forcing them into mistakes.

Im no fan of Daka, but I just can't accept these rumours he's gone Mardy. His whole vibe is humble, grateful and honest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
