didierforever 7,349 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 a lot of what happens in this match would depend on what team FSW picks for the match. also the team should not be complacent. we should remember their was no rodriguez or lambert in the fa cup and with these 2 players, southampton are a far greater threat. my team would becechazpi iva terry coleluiz lampsMAZACARBA.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 If our recent home record are anything to go by, this could turn out to be another dodgy game and us getting the wrong result.Hopefully that doesn't happen because the win over Stoke will mean nothing if we don't win here. We simple can't afford to blow this like we did against QPR after beating Everton. Win this and we'll move 4 points clear of Spurs(4th) and potentially 7-10 points clear of Arsenal(depending what happens tomorrow against Man City). And it's also worth remembering that we have Arsenal at the Bridge next Sunday too. So, getting a win would be absolutely crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Our squad seems so thin, we def need to rest some so they're ready for the Arsenal game but also can't afford to drop points at home. Really wish Moses and Mikel were here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyblue 443 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 With this game, Arsenal and Swansea all in a row, I'd rest Mata for this and play Oscar. Unfortunately Torres should this one too so that we can unleash Ba on Arsenal and Swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Gino 377 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Cech, Azpi, Cahill, Terry, Bertrand, Ramires, Luiz, Piazon, Oscar, Marin, Ba......the squad is thin and key players need a rest like Torres who scored against Arsenal, jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Play our best team (within reason), so that is obviously demba ba and we should have enough... But as everyone is saying, based on what we seem to keep doing we shouldn't take anything for granted. Get the win, and make the gap bigger to the teams below us.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 To rest Ba and have him ready for Arsenal and Swansea.I don't think we need too yet, he never really missed a game for newcastle and still was consistently good. Our schedule is a bit more hectic but he is used to playing europa on thursdays etc... For me i would play our best players then if we have a 2 goal advantage at some point then take him off for torres... Rather than playing fernando then possibly digging a whole for ourselve which means he has to come on to try and dig us out off anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
