Riot Van Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 (edited) Apart from the title winning season, and even then we weren't great, we have been so poor away at Southampton. Diamond 4 man CM flashbacks... Edited 11 December 2017 by Riot Van
foxfanazer Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Looking forward to this one. Will be a better indicator of where we’re at than the Newcastle game. Southampton don’t tend to open up so we might have to try and break through them rather than hitting them on the counter Draw would be ok but we should be going there with a win in mind
steveherbe Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 For those travelling down, we've had no snow in Winchester/Southampton, so roads are ok. A34 around Newbury had some, forecast down here for wednesday is 8 degrees with a few showers. See you there folks.

dynamark Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 No gloves required for the players then -that's a relief.
FoxFossil Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Dear Santa, Must Win. Then another Must Win v CP. Play reserves against MC in copacabana cup, then stuff Manure in another Must Win. Followed by Must Wins at Watford and Liverpool. Six straight league Must Wins to end the year so top 4 before AS plays. Go on please santa. (you did it before)
Kasey Keller Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Austins hit some form. 4 in 4 for him Morgan and Maguire beware....
Bedford Fox Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Hopefully Claude can get one over on them and pay them back for all the stick their fans gave him about being boring by sticking 4 past them.
winteriscoming Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Take a point here then hopefully beat palace that would be 7 points from a possible 9 I'd be happy with that.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 It's nice going into games at the moment knowing we aren't desperate for points and we're in a comfortable position in the table. Can see this being a draw, which would be fine. Winnable though.
goose2010 Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Lots of Southampton fancs think Vardy injured Van Djik on purpose last season and now seem to hate us! If he did he probably did them a favour as he would definitely have left them if he was fully fit in pre season! 2-2 draw Austin wont last 90 minutes (might not even start) as he is struggling for fitness. Hit them hard and fast first 20 minutes and we might sneek this 2-1
foxy boxing Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 it's going to be a tough game but on current form is totally winable.. Southampton have lost only one of their eleven Premier League home matches against us so it's going up not only against Southampton but History as well!. we need to start positively and not concede an early goal like we did against Newcastle. we have the players on form at the moment that can hurt these defensively and i would like us to retain the ball more which Puel clearly wants us to do!
ealingfox Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Fancy Big Claude to bring himself on with 5 to go and score an absolute screamer in injury time to nick it 1-0. Celebrated by a lap of the pitch knee-sliding and ear-cupping. 2
MPH Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 If we can win this one, THEN i will believe a top ten is more than obtainable... 1
SuperMike Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Only 2 things can stop us getting our fourth victory on the spin: a. Charlie Austin b. Kasper's total unwillingness to come off his line to claim corners. If he's worried about the buffeting should he try to catch them -then he should just punch them. Just don't stay on the line doing embarrasing 'star jumps' when the ball is six foot away, and about to be booted in our net! HELP YOUR DEFENCE FFS! 1
dynamark Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Fair point essentially Kasper is not as tall as he thinks he is.
Shanghai Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 For this game Vardy should rest then he will be in fire ( it’s a bit confusing ) why no one should kick his erse sometimes to feel his place is in a danger ? you know what? He needs it !!! He is good player who needs to be pushed not to be just the one ! Okazaki, slimani or ulloula in ! Then He will be back for 20 more goals

We all know Vardy is bloody combative and likes a challenge, but I've never had him down as dirty. Certainly not in his time here.
les-tah Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 if this was another team Puel deserves his revenge 100% as it was an unfair sacking...but as its leicester and my team anything can happen.
Stevosevic Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Need Vardy back in amongst the goals. I think it's just 2 in 11 games for him.

Wes Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Quote from the Saints forum... "Pity Old Les sacked him. But, to be fair, Leicester have got a much stronger squad than ours. You can't really compare the likes of Shane Long, Steven Davis, James Ward-Prowse and Fraser Forster to Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Demarai Gray and Kaspar Schmeichel. We simply haven't got a rich owner prepared to pay for players of that calibre." I wonder if he knows that Demarai Gray was the most expensive of those players at around £4m 1
KingsX Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 (edited) Checking back through Southampton’s season, their results have been consistently predictable by the strength of their opponents. Losing to the top six (0-1-3), drawing or losing to midtable sides (1-2-2 vs current 7th through 13th), and dominating the dross (3-3-1 vs current 14th and down). The only “midtable” win was Everton at their nadir under Unsworth, which was no test at all; the others were WBA, Hammers and Palace. You start to understand their fans’ impatience with Pellegrini. I look at their roster, and hear you experienced folks, and get that this could be a tough fixture. But I do not think we should be their first scalp (damn near first points) from the top half. If they expect no thrust and all parry, we now have some surprises in our bag. I just hope eleven brains are 100% switched on at the beginning and end of each half. Edited 11 December 2017 by KingsX
