Devonfox1884 Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 Kasper Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Albrighton Ndidi Drinky Gray Okazaki Musa Interested to see how Ndidi does in a midfield two, we won't know if we don't try it. Also think Vardy has been too lazy with his pressing etc... it might be an instruction from Claudio, but it's horrible to see. Give the moose a well-deserved chance to start up-top on his own.

Corky Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 Southampton fans seem very bored with their football on forums and Twitter. So I'm anticipating an absolute thriller on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridFox Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 First time I'm going Southampton away. Any recommendations for somewhere to eat/have a pint before the game? Although its 12:00 bloody sky will have to do with a brunch. Getting there by train if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy boxing Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 We NEED an away performance, Preferably a win but the performance is a must.no more effing about with formations and tactics but get back to how we were playing last season. the players need to put a real shift in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Dontlie Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Their form is low and fluctuating like ours, hopefully we can grab at least one point there. The lads really need to step up now and show some fighting spirit. Okazaki and Gray have to start this one. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 I've got a sense we might just win this one, our first away victory of the season. Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Mendy Ndidi Drinkwater Gray Okazaki Musa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Seeing as we never seem to change the way we play until it is too late, I am not holding out for much hope. Our defenders and Albrighton chipping longs balls for Van Dijk to deal with the whole game doesn't fill me with confidence. Play Gray. 0-0 or 2-0 to Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmondfox Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 We should play 433 for this with Gray and Fuchs looking to get forward and attack with the ball on the floor. They seem to be the only players who can attack and get a cross to come in low or cut back rather than Albrighton pumping them in high as soon he he gets the ball. The times when Albrighton has carried the ball forward and has gotten close to the area for a shot or short cross/pass he has looked more dangerous. Hopefully Morgan and Huth wont be playing so deep that Drinky always has to drop back to collect the ball with his back to goal. We can't keep on pumping the ball upfield for us to instantly give it back. We need Ndidi and Drinky to work together and try to move the ball forward on the floor, or the very least close to Vardy to run onto. Thankfully Soton have been struggling. I think we can get at them, providing we attack and try to look positive rather than the usual slow passing around the back where the ball usually ends up with Morgan or Kasper punting it out or back to the opposition.

ealingfox Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Going down for this one. Horrid kick-off time but 20 quid tickets (well done to Southampton) and cheap-ish trains from London got me hooked. Home win, obviously. Would at least like to see us score a goal.

Weather spoons was decent, will try to find name and update later. See you there The Standing Order, 30 High Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 "I'm not closed to the 4-2-3-1 we are all used to, I can adapt" Have we been getting it wrong guys? Ranieri seems to think we don't play 4-4-2???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammie82uk Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Stat time Saints have won just one of their last seven league meetings with Leicester (D2 L4), including two defeats in the Championship in 2011-12. However, Leicester have never won a Premier League game at St Mary's (D3 L1), last beating Southampton away in the competition 2-1 at the Dell in April 2000. Southampton's next home defeat will be their 100th in the Premier League. Jamie Vardy scored both of Leicester's goals in this fixture last season, as the Foxes came from 2-0 down to earn a point. Southampton have lost their last four Premier League games, something they last did in December 2014. They've not lost five in the same top-flight season since 1998/99. The only reigning top-flight champion to have fewer points after 21 games than Leicester City have currently are Ipswich Town 1962/63 (18, assuming three for a win). Southampton have the lowest shot conversion rate of any Premier League side this season (6.1%). The Foxes are still waiting for the first away league win since April 2016 (D5 L7). Saints last failed to score in three successive Premier League matches in February 2015. Claudio Ranieri's side have led in just five Premier League games this season, totalling 308 minutes.

Spiritwalker Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Going down on Saturday, looking forward to this, I've not been to St Marys before. If we're playing 433 I'd like to see Gray, Vardy and Musa as the front 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
