Conversely I’d go with Ayari (or Hinsh if available) because of their pace in the counter-press which so far Wieffer hasn’t demonstrated. Every game Southampton play suicidal football around their own box (think us, but really shit) and give away goals. I think pace is going to be key in this game from usI’d go Weiffer and O’Riley in midfield for this one. Expect Saints to have more of the ball and Weiffer is good at intercepting play in key areas, and Southampton do make some bad mistakes playing out.
Who are Fulham playing on Tuesday?Think Wieffer should definitely start this one with any one of Ayari, Hinshelwood or MOR and then Baleba and one of the other two who didn't start this one against Fulham (worth noting Fulham have a very quick turnaround, Sunday-Tuesday so unleashing fresh legs against them could be deadly. Would look to play Minteh there if fit)
Agree with all of that, just feel O’Riley is capable of pushing on and pressing higher alongside JP on their deepest midfielders. Those two plus Mitoma, Rutter, Welbeck gives a solid 5 man press and Weiffer backing them up. Think there’s arguments for all of our midfielders in this one to be honest, I’d like to think our front 4 can do the business against these on their own anywayConversely I’d go with Ayari (or Hinsh if available) because of their pace in the counter-press which so far Wieffer hasn’t demonstrated.

They pressed high and played more direct than usual, then gassed as they aren’t used to playing like that, and fell apart in the final quarter. Still made the stupid mistakes at the back though.What were the curve balls they tried to throw at LFC for the first hour? I didn’t watch it live. Martin talked of them being aggressive.
Anything for us to negate?

Ramsdale is out for a month with a broken finger, so he will be.I hope the same goalie plays. Although the equaliser was a wonderful early touch, the pitch positioning (angles) against a left-footed forward I thought hilarious.
It was a tactical masterpiece indeed.What were the curve balls they tried to throw at LFC for the first hour? I didn’t watch it live. Martin talked of them being aggressive.

I just worry what we’re left with if one of them needs a rest, though.I am in love with the front 4 of;
Rutter - Pedro - Mitoma
Welbeck
Such an exciting, well balanced set of attributes. That first goal vs Bournemouth was absolutely liquid.
