Probably lose by 5.

 

[coollino]

Hate how I get semi-optimistic now, then 15 mins in I lose it all.

 

[Number_25]

Delo and Mirallas off the bench when we're down 3-0 at half time.

Alright, that.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Ah yes. Bring the fume.

Saw this on my fb feed

Embarrassing those comments.

2 wingers on the bench, but none starting. With 2 strikers.....

Am I missing something?

Martinez has learnt absolutely nothing, he won't be manager next season that is for sure.

All he needs to do is buddy up the flanks, fullbacks bombing on with proper Wingers working with them, the rest will take care of itself, width exposes teams, getting the ball out wide pulls the opposition apart to create space in the middle.

It's how we have played our best football under Moyes's last 3 seasons and Martinez's first.

Martinez is never going to go back to that, and for me that means he'll not be here for much longer.

 

[Milkman]

Is it not Cleverley on the left, Lukaku on the right? I'm going to guess it will be.

Looks like Southampton are playing almost a 4222 system, with two holding midfielders, two wide CAM's and two strikers. I think if we can win the midfield battle and catch them on the break we will do alright

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Bobby the clown.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Joey66]

Love this team. However, please tell me that Oviedo isn't injured again!

My brother noticed when he came on last week he looked so slow to the last time he seen him before the leg break not fit again probably!

 

[quasi modo]

What kind of set up is our team?

 

[AaronTheBlue]

it'll be kone out wide, and barkley out wide too


some sort of jarg 433

 

[streeky]

I said a few day's ago it would be good to see Kone A and rom up front for a couple of games but would never happen under Martinez.(eating humble pie here) well done RM for mixing it up and throwing Southampton a curve ball

 

[Titus Bramble]

What kind of set up is our team?

4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 strikers.
