On the plus side, I bet Southampton weren't expecting that starting 11 so we may have got a tactical advantage by confusing them!

our best and only chance of winning silverware is this cup so why put out a team as wank as this?

i feel sorry for those who have travelled

If i'd traveled down there tonight i'd be massively pissed off seeing that lineup. I really hope they prove me wrong and we win but jeeze, it's just deflating seeing that 11.

Why do we have a game in the Championship soon?

Can we sack the caretaker manager? All joking aside it's fucking awful line up. This was a golden opportunity to give the likes of Veretout, Adama and Ayew a chance.

this

plus clark and richards could have got a run together. i mean gabby and gestede ffs.

Any wingers to utilise Gestede's only attribute? Possibly Bacuna. If not, we're playing with ten men.

Is today national 'Play All Your Full Backs' day? I count five of them. Let's hope they prove me wrong but I wouldn't back that team to score in 90 games, let alone 90 minutes.

I think K-Mac is probably trying to create width to serve Gestede but it's still a depressing team. Gil and Veretout should have been ripe for a run.

I hope they prove me wrong, but that is shit.

That's the kind of side that could have played against Chelsea or Swansea to grind out a draw and stop the losing run. It's not the side to put out in a cup games.

I agree with Gana getting a rest but where's Adama ?

Tim's probably thinking, "damn, five fullbacks. Even I thought that was too weird a lineup option"

For being a realist. No worse than some naive , happy clappy guy who thinks everything is wonderful . Have you noticed the state of the team, club, league table etcetc
