KWP, Alderweireld, Rose, Winks, Lamela and Lucus to freshen it up. It's great advantage to play teams in this period without good squad depth

Lloris
KWP Alderweireld Foyth Rose
Winks Dier
Lamela Eriksen Lucas
Kane

Also, have to remember that whilst we may have to rotate players - so will they. Lemina is out following his suspension so that is already one enforced change.

This game can't come quickly enough for me. We need to wash of the NLD fiasco with a strong and committed display. Strongest possible lineup with regards to injury and fatigue, which would probably be:

Lloris
Aurier-Foyth-Alderweireld-Rose
Dier-Winks
Son-Alli-Eriksen
Kane

Maybe give KWP a game and rest Aurier, and give Sissoko a rest as well so he's ready for Leicester and Barca away. We're suddenly thin on the bench.

Caretaker in for our game? Even better. Won't have time for a new guy to work with squad by Wednesday, surely...
I don't want to scare anyone, but this has striking similarities to our game against West Brom at Wembley this time last season when Gary Megson time-wasted Brom to a 1-1 draw.

Guess what? Our league game before that match was the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Cheers for that.

I get your concern. However Soton has let in almost 2 goals per game, so I'm not too concerned about our ability to score against them. It's more our defence that concerns me, we have to be on a much better defensive level than in the NLD.

Very concerned the attendance is going to be humiliating. Like sub WHL

I don't particularly care...that's the club's fault for not making tickets cheaper for games like these...bear in mind ST holders have no incentive to go so they will just get their money back anyway.

The players shat their pants in the NLD yet again...should they expect raucous home support after such an aberration...I know many will say yes...but like an argument with a loved one...you often want to given them the cold shoulder after they have disappointed you so badly.

Personally don't see the NLD like that. They clearly had more in the tank than us and that was the difference between the teams. Arguably Poch could've recognised that and gone to a much more defensive, Mourinho-style game plan, but we know he's never going to do that. I didn't see any lack of fight from our players, they just didn't have the legs for it.
