Southampton (H) 19/10 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

No word yet on Saiss or Jota. I'd play both I think if they're available (not that Benno did anything wrong vs City).

I think it'd be harsh to drop Bennett after the City game ( from a moral, team spirit angle, not a good idea either), but i wouldn't be upset to see Saiss play.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

But then Saiss was outstanding vs Watford and Besiktas, he hasn't done anything wrong

He was, but being outstanding against City is the bigger deal?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Everyone was though (bar maybe Cutrone). Vinagre included but doubt anyone would bat an eyelid if he missed out...

You can't just pick off one game.

 

[machin05]

Saiss on his game is a better option than Bennett on his game.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Either Bennett or Saiss are acceptable options - really not overly fussed which one is there

Reminder of DW's team makes sense

 

[Tredman]

DW's team for me.

 

[Tony Towner]

DW's team for me except Saiss in midfield instead of Neves and Bennett in defence.

 

[YoungWolf]

Dan’s team for me.

Fingers crossed both Diogo and Saiss fit

 

[Tredman]

Is Donk fit? Would probably rather have him over Neves.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Donck was ill during the internationals (doubt they'd have bothered with him against San Marino anyway, and no point in dragging someone who's Moby Dick all the way to Kazakhstan).

P3 W0 D0 L3 F3 A9 for them recently in the league. Only Watford and Norwich have conceded more than them so far. Joint 4th worst attack in the league.

Their two wins have both been away (Brighton and Sheff Utd) but the first one was against 10 men for an hour.

Didn't win any of their last five games last season so since they beat us in April, they are their only two league wins.

Wim bound to lose then ay we.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've seen them live twice so far.

Liverpool - played ok, got a goal back near the end and Ings should have equalised. But Liverpool appear to jam wins everywhere at the moment
Bournemouth - absolutely shit, should have lost by more. Appalling at the back

They were terrible at Molineux last season and the away game was one of the very rare occasions under Nuno where we've just totally collapsed at the back. All of those goals were awful, the second one where we were so disjointed (off a kick off, FFS) that literally all of the back five were at fault and the third where Adama forgot that you have to push out off a corner if you half-clear the first ball.

They've got some reasonable players but not many I'd actively want at Wolves.

 

[Nando]

The Hassenhuttl hype has died down significantly so far this season, with quite a few calling for his head already.

Still scarred by St Mary's last season - a horror performance.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Was right after the semi-final. Don't think we were switched on at all.

Like we do though, we nailed it after that and picked up 10 points from 4 games, which put us in Europe.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh, and I sent our table reservation off this afternoon. Good job someone has his eye on the ball...

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Do we think 343 is the preferred formation again?

 

[Tredman]

New fanzone opening this weekend, in teh Wanderers car park apparently (next to the old occasional fanpark I guess).

Let's hope there is a better choice of beer!
