[Massa]

[Yorkyblue]

Yeah Champs League in-between. We're away at Real Madrid so I see that taking a lot out of us.

[ivan itchybum]

Get your excuses in early mate.

[Massa]

Good thing we have options in attack then. Apart from the AM position.

[VCC]

may see a challenge to our defenders in this game in the shape of lambert be interesting how we cope with him.

[Zedie]

I'm really excited about this one. It's defo one of those tests where we used to choke due to thinking we didn't have to try so hard. With the experience in our squad, I'm hoping the team approach this game with as much purpose as a cup final.

[Trequartista]

Same XI as vs 'Pool. We will need Mertesacker's height against Lambert and hopefully Jenkinson can use his physical presence to avoid getting d*cked all over like that Brazilian midget for ManUre at the weekend.

[CrimsonGunner11]

Soooo if Giroud can score against Southampton ... ....

[Pudpop]

Am I right in saying that every striker to score their first for us against Southampton scored more than 100 goals for the club?

[yosifun]

Play the Ox and Theo on opposite wings. I think it would be deadly plus it would really rub Southampton's nose in it

wouldn't start both, but would give both minutes in this game.

They played really good against Manure, good thing this is not an away game.

I hope we can go 4 clean sheets on the trot.i'd start theo at RW and keep the other members from the pool game.I'd be lying if i said i wasn't worried about giroo.He hasn't had a single shot on target despite him having the best opportunities.Granted,the service to him has not been exactly stellar.I would like poldi and santi to involve him more in our attacking play.Our crossing has been dire this far.Pool pressed really hard so jenks may have some time here on the ball to show his crossing ability.theo would also deliver fine crosses across the face of goal for giroo to latch onto.We should be fine if we show up the way we did at pool.
