Chelsea tweeting a photo of Nkuku so hopefully means Jackson is benched, yellow card away from being suspended.

Can't see why the club would want to give clues about the line-up. If there is any signalling going on then surely this is more likely to be a bluff. Even then we'd have to ask what's the point? Saints are very unlikely to believe that we've leaked that Christo will start so if anyone is fooled by a bluff, it won't be them.

We better not fuck this up.

Ten players out, two doubtful for them.

Thinking about it more, I highly doubt Lavia will play here. Forgot that Maresca has said that he likely wouldn’t be playing multiple games in short periods much like Reece and Fofana.

So I wonder if we may see KDH being given his big chance here. If Maresca, who knows his game better than anyone, can’t trust him against the bottom of the league side then when can he?

In Conference League. And if not Lavia it will be Enzo and Moises. KDH is more attacking midfielder he has no business playing in pivot in PL. Against shepherds from Armenia ok.

What a cb pairing…

Sanchez dropped

Some huge calls there, Enzo.

This attack looks pretty fucking sexy if they click here. 

Defense on the other hand looks suspect. But if we can’t beat an injury and suspension ravaged, bottom of the table Southampton side with this team it’s a disgrace.

Absolute must win to keep pace with Arse and to keep some distance between us and the chasing pack. A slip up here would be our worst result of the season by far.

Or rotation?

Either way, I'm surprised by the number of changes despite facing Tottenham on the weekend. Lets hope those coming in deliver.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,799]

Mudryk is not on the bench?

[Pizy 18,849]

Hope we don’t run Caicedo into the ground. He’s so incredibly important to the team. So for him to play 3 matches in 7 days we’re gonna be hoping he comes through this unscathed. Because remember he was also away with his national team and only arrived back 2 days before our match a week or two ago. Lot of mileage and football in his legs recently.

[NikkiCFC 8,286]

Tottenham playing tomorrow so cannot use tiredness as excuse on Sunday. 

Let's win this because Liverpool is losing points tonight!

[Mhsc 1,091]

Basically our usual B team with Palmer and Caicedo mixed in because it is PL

Enzo sticking to his guns with rotation mid week.

If we are in CL next year we need to make some upgrades on this B group because they will get smashed against CL level competition

Having Disaster in the team is asking for trouble. OK, Soton are probably high Champo level but that guy is League One-Two level. Absolutely playing with fire playing that muppet. 

Good to see Jorgensen start but this changing 7 players seems a bit much to me. We have a young squad, the vast majority of them should be able to play two games a week. 

Really hope we do not have to start chasing the game in the second half.

I get what you’re saying but look at some of the guys we’ve rotated. Lavia, Colwill, Neto. All of whom have a pretty significant injury history. Sancho has just come back from injury.

I think it’s smart to rotate here. We need those players 100% fit for Spuds at the weekend.
