Southampton Vs Wolves Build-Up and Match Thread 15/03/25

[Tony Towner]

No new injuries, Munetsi fit.

Same 11 for me.

 

[NicholasG1973]

I have a feeling he’ll start Hwang over JSL.

Might make sense if we want pace to press their back four into their traditional defensive fuck ups…….

 

[Jinky]

I want us to play someone closer to JSL, almost a 10. If that’s Bellegarde, or Hwang - not bothered. Rodrigo to start at LWB as he can bomb on and get some crosses in. RAN can play anywhere so let him do his thing next to the midfield two and he can drop in to cover Rodrigo when he’s up the pitch. That’s what I’d do anyway to try and bring the best out in the players. Vítor will go with the same 11, though.

Not sure I'd have RAN there. I might go:

Sa
Djiga Agbadou Toti
Semedo - Andre - Gomes - RAN
Rodrigo - Bellegarde
JSL​

 

[The Bear]

If you want to play RAN further forwards then wide left is his best position IMO.

............................. Sa

........... Djiga - Agbadou - Toti

Semedo - Gomes - Andre - Rodrigo

......... Sarabia - Hwang - RAN


I can't see him not starting JSL and Bellegarde though. It'll be more like:

............................. Sa

........... Djiga - Agbadou - Toti

Semedo - Gomes - Andre - RAN

.............. Munetsi - Bellegarde

........................ Larsen

 

[Jinky]

He’s not dropping Doc. Was full of praise to him in the presser.

 

[Tony Towner]

He's not playing 3 in midfield either

 

[Dire Wolf]

Yeah there's a less than 1% chance of a fit Doc not playing. It'll be the same side that started last week.

 

[Jinky]

No, but that was what I would pick.

 

[Tony Towner]

No, but that was what I would pick.

What's the difference between that and Tredman doing the same?

 

[Jinky]

I was replying to Bear.

 

[prawnking]

As long as Munetsi plays we're winning this

 

[Deano]

Going to this, hopefully not a long miserable trip back,

 

[Indy Wolf]

Hwang fit. See him starting and JSL not. The rest should be the same. Where the goals come from? See this group being able to press high and recover balls and have possession most of the game

Look at that front three and weep for all we once had.

 

[Templeton Peck]

It's not as good as Dicko Afobe Sako.

 

[Mel Evo]

It’s stodgeball. Keep it tight for 70 mins.

[Lupo]

Johnstone ill again?

 

[Mel Evo]

Was Johnstone out last week too? Can’t remember.
