So any thoughts?
Forster in goal, back to usual formation, drop JWP from corners (preferably dropped totally) , KWP back at right back, Adams and Armstrong up front.
Leicester score easily. Saints don't. 0-2.

Romeu appeared very pissed off and embarrassed about the first half mess that Ralph's tactics caused on Saturday. The managers going to have to careful he doesn't lose the players completely. Losing to Norwich was poor losing to Liverpool by the same scoreline as there match against United isn't the end of the world. But the team selection and the tactics were taking the piss. I think JWP does need a rest, I think he'll stick with Mc in goal with Tino, Salisu, Lyanco, JWP Dialo, Romeu, Redmond Adams Broja and AA |  | | |

Agree with that, the manager is dangerously close to having players not perform - you can see it. Maybe that is what JWP's problem is. | |

I thought Tino has looked a little tired/burnt out the past two games. He's only a young lad & Ralph did say recently that we'll have to keep an eye on him/not overdo things or words to that effect.
Would be good to see Vestergaard & Bertrand start for them midweek  |  |

The only certainty is that McCarthy will start
Ward-Prowse should be dropped but probably won’t be
Stuart Armstrong and Redmond should start if fit
Vardy will almost definitely score
One more chance for A Armstrong with Adams up front
Tella and Broja on 60 minutes if we need a goal. | |

If it's another tactical disaster and they lose again, Hassenhutl's position needs to be seriously reviewed, especially now as some of the players are openly showing exasperation with it all. | | | |

I fear for us. Madison is on fire and Vardy will terrify our defence. |  |

FF should start but Ralph won't do that
Tino needs rest for KWP in his usual spot Perraud left and salisu and lyanco I would say, Bednarek looks awful
Diallo Romeu Stuey and Elyounoussi
Adams and Broja up top | | | |

Romeu should be taking a long hard look at himself, before being pissed off at RH. As a senior player who has Captained the side, he should be setting an example. He failed to even attempt to cut out the cross that gave Norwich the equaliser and his performance at Anfield was woeful, culminating in his mistake to allow VVD to score (which AM should have saved with his feet, instead of diving over the ball).
Put his form together with that of JWP and we have one of the weakest central midfield pairings in the league. JWP has already had the rest you said he needs - courtesy of his red card and 3 match ban v Chelsea, so no excuses for his poor form. He should only play if he can do a job on Maddison like he does on Zaha !!
RH Team - Absolutely no clue !!
Hopefully we will have pace at the back to cover Vardy and Barnes and hopefully the likes of Stu Armstrong and dare I say even Djenepo and Redmond will be back to feature for us - so that Long and Walcott don't need to make the bench !! |  |

I am hoping for us to have 2-0 lead after about 25 minutes.
For Leicester to change tactics at half time, but for Ralph to respond to those changes immediately to snub out any possible new threat.
And for Djenepo to come on with 15 to go, beat his defender with a step-over and then play a simply ball for one of the strikers to score to make it 3-0. | |

"so that Long and Walcott don't need to make the bench"
Oh Lord, now that is a miserable prospect to worry over on the drive down the M3 this afternoon.
Good point about Romeu, he needs to step up when the going gets tough. |  |

I'd certainly be starting with Broja at CF. Leicester have issues at centre back.
If fit, I'd also be starting with Diallo who I would assign to man mark Maddison.
I'd also start JWP a little wider because I think Leicester are susceptible to passes played into feet from the half back sort of position. | | | |

I hope you are right, Centurion, but I will be very surprised if Leicester don't score. Even if Vardy fails to score, they'll bring on Patson Daka and he will. And then, of course, there's Ayoze Perez, who's already scored two hat-tricks against us. Our only hope of matching them will be if they have Vestergaard in their starting lineup but I can't see Brendan Rodgers being that stupid or that kind to us.
The last time we played Leicester at St Mary's we only managed to get a draw because Vestergaard was sent off after 10 minutes (and that's when he was playing for us).

I think we will take the lead in the first half and end up losing 2-1. With the exception of Liverpool, our last few games have followed last seasons pattern of , strong in the first half and rubbish in the 2nd. In hindsight we got away with one against Villa. |  |

We were just hanging on for 45 minutes against Villa. I think we were all very relieved and surprised that, in spite of the fact they had 13 shots at goal, they failed to score. Ings being out injured helped. | |

Early days but it looks like Gerrard is not an Ings fan | |

Team new guys:
Southampton XI: McCarthy, Livramento, Bednarek, Salisu, Walker-Peters, Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Tella, Adams, A.Armstrong.
Subs: Forster, Lyanco, Long, Perraud, Broja, Djenepo, Smallbone, Elyounoussi, Valery.
In all fairness other than Bednerak I’d say that’s a pretty decent starting lineup. | |

Forster should be in goal and I think Broja should be starting - though AA is due a goal
WTF is up with Stuart, worlds longest calf issue??
No walcott at all so not all bad | | | |

Calf strains can go on and on. Not a bad side but I fear for us tonight. A point wouldn’t be a bad result | |
