:pl: :saintsfc: Southampton v Chelsea :chelseafc: (Live on :bt_sport: Sport)

And before the meltdown, Ralph’s only option is Stephen’s at RB.
Against Chilwell
:man_facepalming:

I think our best chance is to get all the participating Sotonians to predict a Superbru win for Chelsea.

Mind you, Kepa is starting tonight so shoot on site could work

You could be onto to something there, shooting off site is never going to work is it?

Tbh. Couldnt be worse than any other tactics we’ve used this season

Sigh.
I must stop predicting the future

I would seriously consider Redmond at RB.

Watching Djneppo of late you can see that he has been coached and knows what to do and positioning to play RB in Ralph’s system.
He does make tackles.
Equally Stephens knows what to do.
The issue is Djneppo is rubbish at it defensively & Jack is just rubbish going forward.

Time to revert to a back three?

Makes the most sense imho
Chelsea played Hudson Odoi as Wing back last night it worked 1st half certainly

Don’t know what to make of this one. I want to believe that we can start picking up points now but my logical head says the very best we can hope for is a narrow defeat.

They were almost unplayable 1st half last night, BUT Bruce had set the barcodes up with a Diamond and conceded acres of space to their wing backs.
2ndhalf he tweaked it and Chelsea couldn’t break them down so easily.
I hope Ralph was watching

Hmm, they have a Chumpions League quarter final v Atheltico Mince on the Tuesday after this match,maybe they’ll have one eye on that, hopefully…

Well, it seems unanimous so far.

We’re going to get slaughtered here, aren’t we. Damage limitation from their first goal onwards, which will probably arrive 5 minutes after kick off.

How about JWP at RB and the return of a tough-tackling midfielder after his 3 match ban?

Jankewitz’s Redemption has a nice ring to it.

How do you get on playing FM21?

I don’t and nor have I ever.

With selections like that I can see why

:rofl:

Can’t believe you left me such an easy open goal!

If Ralph was happy to start him at O.T. I don’t see why he wouldn’t try him against Chelsea. The longer you leave it, the more difficult it becomes.

Yes, it worked out so well at Old Trafford. He looked really promising for at least two of his three minutes on the pitch before his sending off, I don’t see why Ralph wouldn’t start him against Chelsea either. :+1::+1:
