Southampton Match Thread

Ndidi over Casadei is starting to get a bit ridiculous.

[HarryDee8]

9-0 to the foxes 😎

[Tommy Fresh]

Is Bert reporting all the posts that referenced him starting the thread with no details on the line up, to make it look like it never happened.

[Stuntman_Mike]

I personally think that looks a very good Championship line up and bench. We just need to go and get the job done!

N’didi again? For **** sake. Sick to the back teeth of seeing him play a position he clearly ****ing can’t. 
 

This has got 2-0 down in ten minutes written all over it, wonder how many times we will give the ball away needlessly in those high 8 positions and gift them easy chances. 

We are playing against the only team in the division that have higher possession stats than us. Wilf has made the most tackles and ball recoveries of any of our players so far this season. Win the ball high up the pitch to start our attacks, so start Ndidi. That's the likely logic here.

Yes. It's been widely talked about for a few days 

[Kp1984]

Why ndidi starts when we ain’t clicking in front of goal beats me 

[Collymore]

Despite form always a delight to see the GOAT start!

Win the ball high up then lose it instantly?

He's resting Faes from the break, otherwise obviously he would start.

A sort of a “In case of emergency break Faes” scenario.

Casadei was never going to start tonight after playing the full 90 for Italy under 21s on Tuesday

[alanf0x]

Casadei for Ndidi all day long for me. Other than that, meh, solid championship team I guess 

[Chelmofox]

Good to see Nacho dropped. Wonder if Daka comes on as impact? Good for Mcateer - deserves the starts.

 

Ndidi

Same, can’t help but feel like Coady is gonna take his spot in the XI soon though

But it hasn’t worked…. Problem is Wilf is piss poor in possession, he’s more likely to give the ball away in a poor area leading to conceding in the transition. 
 

Unless, he’s changed the formation….. and is playing with a back four?  
 

4-3-3 perhaps? 

[Fazzer 7]

Strange starting 11 wtf does he see in Ndidi this will be another defeat. 

[Md9]

Maybe ndidi is being used tonight to break up play and not actually need to him attack 🙈

Honestly mate it’s not worth bothering. I’ve been saying all week the three who played Tuesday won’t start today and…. Well…  

[adam]

Not Overly impressed with that.  Why keep playing wilf in that position. Cassidy needs to get some starts.

Nacho should be up front too.

[Turtle27]

Very strong bench

Cesare was on internationals and Wilf needs to step up, so as sub may get confidence back.
