Laylabelle 9,535 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Commentator was saying that we've failed to win a League away game after a European game. Not sure how far back it went. A good few years though. So hopefully.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Got to get bak to winning ways. The other ones, Klop and co, are surely going to start dropping points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybzkartel 284 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 If we start Pedro and Hazard in this one we should be able to win without too much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Pedro is a must start for me, but I hope to god we don't get drawn into this "Morata has scored now so it's OK to start him" analogy- He has got a long way to go before he deserves any kind of start in the PL.

akgw13 867 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 A win then a City/Liverpool draw would make for one great Sunday(and Canadian Thanksgiving!) Kepa Azpi Rudi Luiz Alonso Jorginho Kante Kovacic Pedro Hazard Giroud My Subs would be: RLC for Kovacic (60'-65') Morata for Giroud (70'-75') Willian for Pedro (75') I liked what RLC showed yesterday, had more attacking intent than Barkley. With RB getting the England call up I think it would be good to see RLC get some PL gametime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing. Isn't the first time he scored but I don't think it's suddenly going to be a regular thing. Torres had that. Glimpse then that was it.. So hopefully yeah not the case.

Trueblue9877 6 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I would love to see Ruben start this match, he's an exciting player and I think after what he did last season he's more than capable of playing regularly at Chelsea, giving players like Ruben and Mount a chance could save us so much money in the long run as well as having players who love the club and will give 100% week in week out.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Arsenal and Spuds both play before us... So win and we'll be below. Hopefully not for long though! Need to keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to keep going. and a big win will get us 2nd regardless of any other result, so definitely enough incentive. Everyone should be fresh. So no excuses. If Pedro is back and can feature we should be versatile enough to break the bus they will surely park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,927 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I've admittedly not seen a second of Southampton play this season. No idea what to expect. All I know is that it's a must win going into the break and with a desperate Mourinho/United who will want to get their season back on track afterwards.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Like commentator said Thursday. Liverpool 2014 was our last away win after a midweek European game.. So hopefully... That will change tommrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Team to play Southampton: Kepa, Alonso, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rudiger, Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Willian, Hazard, Giroud Subs: Caballero, Fabregas, Pedro, Kovacic, Zappacosta, Cahill, Morata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Kovacic and Pedro on the bench is frustrating. Two of our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarri can bring them in after an hour if the game's still 0-0 or worse. Amazing options to have on the bench. I really hope Barkley finally shows what he can do. I expected him to score double digits this season, so far he hasn't delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Bloody hell Arsenal winning again, along with Tottenham and Man United. There is no way we can afford to drop points today, especially after the last two League draws. Come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
