Southampton (A) Match Thread

[Master Fox]

King must’ve been awesome in training this week!  

[harpendenfox]

it is clearly rotation. Obviously doesn't want to put to much pressure on Vincente. Keep calm

[stripeyfox]

Sky Sports app has them lined up like this:

 

---------------------------Vardy---------------------------

--------Chilwell-----Okazaki--------Mahrez---------

----------------------King------Ndidi---------------------

Fuchs-------Morgan--------Maguire------Simpson

-----------------------Schmeichel-----------------------

Ulloa ahead of Slimani and Iheanacho now as they don't even make the bench 

[Cal]

No Kelechi or Slimani on the bench either

KING!!!!!!!!... 

Ffs. 

Puel has lost the plot! 

That escalated quickly.

[BenTheFox]

Not what I was expecting, but we were always going to make changes. 

[Tielemans63]

Nothing brings City fans together like the inclusion of Kingy in the starting XI

Which one is in goal?

[FOXSE]

I don't think we can just play the same team every three days..... So I expected changes.

[Legend_in_blue]

For the first time in ages I was ready to pounce to find out the team news as soon as it's released and this happens...

 

 

[blueharmie]

I think this is a good decision. We've been up to Newcastle. Now to Southampton in the space of a few days, then place early Sat. 

Reckon 0-0 tonight and smash Palace sat. 

[Wolfox]

Mind you…. Southampton side is weird

I'd take a draw now

 

King for Iborra is like going from Mahrez to Musa. Also if Iheanacho cant make this bench when donkey is there then he has no future here surely.

[Foxes1]

Looks like Ndidi will be doing the work of 2 players then.

[ZeGuy]

It seems he wants to make the midfield as compact as possible. He comes for a draw.

[PatrykJ14]

no no no.. Why King???

[Larry_LCFC]

Starting King is gross misconduct in itself. Has Claude had a bang on the ****ing head?

[EnderbyFox]

I love the bloke but replacing Iborra with King is like replacing Picasso with the bloke from Art Attack 

 

*lumps on King first goalscorer

[foxfanazer]

No Redmond or gabbiadini for them

[RumbleFox]

Chilwell left wing?  Of three behind Vardy (Chilwell, Mahrez and Okazaki?).  I am willing to get behind this and not start slagging off everyone and everything quite yet.  With a lot of games coming up we need to use our squad.  Let's see how we line up and how we start before killing ourselves eh?

[LCFC1996]

Nothing like Foxestalk melting down over team news....get a grip

[Farrington fox]

Rotation, got to be! Southampton won’t be able to believe their luck. Still, that team has lowered my expectation, so my stress level won’t be so high.

Looks about right. 

 

Looking forward to seeing Chilly in that role now.

I hope they stuff Saints, and force some serious humble pie consumption.
