Okore and Grealish are real people and not just figments of our imagination!

well cold cold night. got home late and just about to leave for VP. Best defence against worst attack let's hope for a miracle!

[Smirker]

The big man is back 

Delighted.

Don't understand playing Westwood and cleverley

[PaulWinch again]

Okore finally, that's made me happy! Shame Grealish isn't playing though.

If we're confused, just imagine what Koeman's thinking "WTF?"

Fifa tells me that this will finish 3-2 to Southampton. They'll go ahead courtesy of a Clark howler. We'll go 2-1 up and they'll equalise within a minute, just before half time.
Then through more comical defending grab the winner.

Predictable line-up
 

[Dave]

Them:

Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Tadic, Mane, Long, Pelle

I'm guessing the Sanchez/Cleverley/Westwood trio is to flood the midfield a bit. There can't be many central pairs much stronger physically then Wanyama and Schneiderlin, so I'm guessing the extra body to to help with that.

Their front four looks very strong. If it were Shane Long against anybody else then it wouldn't look quite so good, but as it's Shane Long against us...

I'm afraid, very afraid. Okore looked dreadful when he did play in pre-season.
I would love to be wrong.

That's a good team
