Rotate the shit out of this one. Get out with no injuries and that’ll do. stolarcyk, Albrighton, Coady, Nelson, Doyle, Choudhury, Yunus, Casadei, Marçal, Cannon, McAteer (if fit)

Give Yunus and casadei 45. If they aren’t dominating we’ve options to bring KDH on and also bring Choudhury onto the inverted RB with Riccy P stepping into the other 8 role.

If it’s not gone great first half can’t imagine KDH won’t be out for the second 45

Bench would look better with kasey and vards fit. Hopefully both back next week

Would much rather have Diangana than any of our wingers

The way we’ve played most of the last couple of months, it’s a no from me. We seem to have changed the first action of our wingers most of the time to turn backwards, you see it even happening regularly from corners now. Think teams have worked out we have one dimension only and we are becoming pretty predictable to play against. I’d say now Martin has bedded in, Southampton are playing a more progressive possession style which I think over the course of 46 games will be more effective than ours. Leeds have some special players up front so will always score plenty and Ipswich don’t seem to be running out of steam really. It’s a horrible season to have a one dimensional set-up. Worked largely for Burnley last season as the division was pretty shite.

Iheanacho well off it, Riccy P not got his passing range, wingers largely anonymous especially McAteer, they beat our first press pretty easily and we are much slower at the back, spent 10 mins taking risk after risk and we look like we’ve never practiced a corner… … 0-0 not too bad 🤣

Corners are so shite from us

Poor that from Kel.

Becoming one trick ponies aren’t we. Especially when inheanacho playing, press us high and we will either panic at the back or lose it in their third

Appalling couple of minutes that

Southampton getting onto a real roll now, they could easily have 46-50pts by Xmas themselves.

Fatawu, Cannon, Yunus please

One off from a KDH free kick

Sounds like an absolute snooze fest from Pipes and Owynn’s commentary

From memory think we only wore it once, maybe twice across two seasons. Away kit was white, navy shorts. Don’t think this was even sold at the time?

Given we started this game without Riccy P, Faes, Doyle, Ndidi, Yunus, Kasey, Kel in the XI today it’s a case of job done… it’s been a great week since the international break. Hopefully we can have as many as possible fit for the period of games from late November to new year as that’s when the squad depth really could come into its own for us
