Nah we should play the rest of the league at once like those grandmasters playing chess in Central Park
Same 11
Godden back into squad, unsure who thats going to be for, could be Kasey Palmer as hes not firing on all cylinders yet

Surely one of the CBs would be the obvious contender to be left out the squad. We don’t need 3 on the bench, especially as we’re only playing with 2 anyway.
Latibeaudiere is useful in a couple of roles so it won’t be him, so it’s between Binks and Fadz. You could make a case for either.

2 things I dont want to see are Ayari playing and Palmer starting.
The players have had 5 nights rest, most should be absolutely fine to play again. Maybe a half for Calum but he's just hit form so let him continue to build on that rather than stop start.

He really doesn’t , that is just one of a few stupid throwaway comments made about him .
I'm surprised no Eccles tonight. But we are at home, and Allen does tend to play further forward. Also good to let a winning team keep playing together
yep, the game is my faster and athletic now
also if you tried that shit now you'd see players knees exploding all the time
Pleased that we’re starting the same 11, Simms and Wright clearly need as much time together as they can get, every week we look better and better. Let’s hope the winning formula works again!
I’ll go for a tentative 1-1, I don’t think that’d be a bad result considering how good Adam Armstrong has been looking recently and the fact Southampton are 12 games unbeaten.
Did you see the state of the pitches in the 70s and 80s. Don't think that argument stacks up

Don’t change a winning team. We’ve got to be confident going into this game. Home game and team is clicking now.
ok football in the past wasn't slower and less athletic because they played on absolutely shit pitches
To avoid my usual turnstile moan; which gates tend to be quieter? Last few games has been an absolute ballache.
I sat in Block 20 but don’t care where I walk in. Usually get there about 7/7:15.

715 shouldn't be too bad queues
I'm going to aim to get there for around then
fucking none of them. Bring back NOPM.
The game has changed out of all proportion to the "we can play 14 players a season and win the league." Liverpool this season have used more players than anyone and regularly rotate. Incidentally, some Liverpool fans were calling for Klopp to be sacked when the team were changing their personal and were not doing so well, (sounds familiar?) The new subs rule has changed the dynamic and fresh legs can change a match. Forget the 70 and 80s when frankly players were relatively unfit and drank like fish. Wenger changed the dynamic with diet, exercise, warming up, warming down etc and that was the 90s. To keep the same team and tactics may sometimes be wrong and again 70/80s way of thinking. Sometimes changing formations does not work so well but I would pit MR and AV's footballing experience and brains against most football posters. They see training, form, illness and personal events that distrupt form. Sometimes you have to accept that a team were better than us, but we came within a whisker of a draw in the end at Ipswich. Southampton will be a tough game they are flying and we never do well against Martin even when 3-0 up! However, they sound as if the result is a foregone conclusion and that is always a great way to motivate the City
I can remember going from an all nighter straight to a Sunday League game, scoring a bullet header in the 2nd minute, puking in the 6 yard box, going off and sleeping on the sidelines for the rest of the game
I usually find a queue 30 mins before KO that takes about 5-10 mins to get through
A row to yourself, no queue to get in, no queue at half time, easy to get away tickets. The good old days.
