You should probably go and have a couple of minutes in the smallest room in the house.
3-1 to SCBC.
Naaaaaaa
For the first time in years I'm considering not even watching a stream of this. I just want to check the full time result. I need to learn to deal with this better.
We'll be ok even if we lose this. It's a transition season now.
Yep, we're back here again. How quickly football changes.
A lot of decent players in this squad btw, very similar to when Ramos left us.
Lose and it's a transition season.
Win and we're up there with 5(6) other teams, chasing top 4.
I think the team have a long way to go rediscover that self confidence and belief.
But as I said before football changes quickly

I have waited 15 years to get an away ticket for a Saints-Spurs game.
I have been to 3 before this, sitting on my hands, watching us lose.
I have to live amongst these part timers who actually think they have "by far the greatest team the world has ever seen".
I don't care if we have no defence, no manager, no form.
It ends Sunday.

Even textbook Timmy couldn't lose with 15 players, could he?

I also back us trying out the old 6-2-3-3 formation

I'd consider playing him on the left.
I don't think that we have a squad equipped to play 4-4-2 and I think that we will be out numbered in midfield and struggle to retain the ball against a possession side like Southampton (or anyone remotely good).
It's nuts. I'd say it was 2008 since I last felt like that, these really were the glory days

With all the injuries we'd probably end up finishing the with 7 players on the field anyway.
Oh, and I forgot... must win, right?

I agree. If only we had all realised we "were" actually in the good old days, a few years ago, before we actually left them.
We need to find some fluency and consistency right now. An almost impossible task without a new manager. Thinking a about it from a psychological view how hard is it for the players to not know whether they are in or out in the next game or who the player standing next to them is going to be or whether they even have a future for the club. Playing well in a game under Sherwood may count for nothing.
It's looking increasingly difficult to imagine coming away from Southampton with anything right now. That's just common sense telling me this. I'd love to say we need to start playing the formation and personnel that we intend to persist with now but even this is a bit of perfection with an interim manager.
We lack leadership big time. Last year we at least had Dawson, Vertonghen, Sandro, Dempsey, Scott Parker even Gallas at times. And bale was our talisman. We looked to him and he was a leader on that front. Now if we go down who do we look to to rescue the game.
Play the players right now who might win us this game in a one off. Who has broad shoulders, fearless and play to win. Whose on form. Who is chomping at the bit.
-------------- Lloris----------------- (Is he any less calamity then Gomes?)
Walker -- Daws -- Chriches --Rose
-----Sandro(Paulinho)--Dembele---
---Lamela----Eriksen-----Adebayor
----------------Soldado--------------
Build off a solid base that worked last year (hopefully Sandro and Dembele)
I want that trio of Lamela Eriksen and Ade to be fluid. Switch float cause mayhem. Sandro and Dembele would have a big role to play to cover and sit.
This needs to be a snatch and grab in all honesty

Agreed. I don't think this is a good game to play 4-4-2.
On the other hand Ade on the pitch would be good, I expect Southampton to put a lot of pressure on us and force us into playing it long. As we've seen this season and yesterday our midfield isn't capable of playing through pressure like that at this point. Having someone to aim long balls towards could be very helpful. Playing him on the left seems like a decent idea.
Assuming that the injured players remain injured:
-----------------Lloris--------------
Walker---Dawson---Chiriches---Rose
---------------Capoue--------------
-----------Eriksen--Dembele--------
Lennon-------------------------Ade
--------------Soldado--------------
Arguably Holtby for Eriksen makes sense. I won't mind Chadli for Ade either.
