[Albion] Team for Southampton (H) , Friday 8pm

[amexer]

Maybe an opportunity to rest mitoma for adringa with all the fixtures coming up?

No way. Lose most of goal threat when he is not playing. Even when he has a quite game when he has 2/3 markers gives us more space elswhere

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Bert

Veltman Van Hecke Dunk Estupinan

Ayari O Reilly

Georgino Pedro Mitoma

Welbeck

 

[chaileyjem]

Potential banana skin i guess and i hope we get past this one …our home matches to date below…if only we were playing Chelsea or Arsenal

Three home wins

Man Utd
Tottenham
Man City

Three draws

Ipswich
Notts Forest
Wolves

I’m hopeless at guessing who starts…..but play 11 for sure

Well. Maybe but Last season we lost at home to Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, and Man City.

But we did beat teams that were 16th, 17th, and 18th!

Those draws v Burnley, Sheff Utd, Fulham , Wolves were of course frustrating though.

Our WINS >>
Luton (18th)
Newcastle (7th)
Bournemouth (12th)
Brentford (16th)
Spurs (6th)
Palace (10th)
Forest (17th)
Villa (4th)

Welbeck

 

[Iggle Piggle]

I think - like a few of you do - it's the same team that started last week with Wieffer for Baleba.

Whilst I'd prefer to see O'Riley start we have 3 games in a week and Weiffer is never going to get a better confidence booster than Southampton at home and he did well enough when he came on against Bournemouth.

O'Riley will surely start one of Fulham or Leicester.

Bert

Veltman Van Hecke Dunk Estupinan

Ayari O Reilly

Georgino Pedro Mitoma

Welbeck

This is the team I think it will be and also the team I think it should be

 

[Machiavelli]

So Dunk, Minteh, Lamptey are back in the squad and (possibly) Kadioglu. No Baleba due to the suspension.
No Hinshelwood, March (although he must be close now given training pix), Milner.

So looks like its 11 from this 21 or 22.

Verbruggen, Steele
Lamptey, Veltman, JPVH, Igor, Dunk, Estupinan + Kadioglu ?
Moder, Ayari, Wieffer, O Riley
Minteh, Mitoma, Adingra, Gruda
Georginho, Pedro, Enciso
Welbeck, Ferguson

*EDIT - missed out Gruda. Minteh was ill last week which explains his Bournemouth absence.

Where are you getting the Minteh availability from? In today's broadcast press conference, FH didn't mention him directly (TBF he wasn't asked), but said that beyond Dunk and Lamptey all others were the same as last week -- I took that to mean that Minteh isn't available.

 

[Machiavelli]

my expected 11

Verbruggen
Veltman Dunk JPVH Estupinan
Ayari Wieffer
Georginho Pedro Mitoma
Welbeck

Yes, I think this too.

 

[pigmanovich]

O'Reilly will surely start one of Fulham or Leicester.

O'Riley might - we'll surely get in trouble for fielding a player like O'Reilly whom we haven't registered.

Jokes aside, I wonder if O'Riley will receive the hostile reception at Fulham that Carvalho did in the Brentford game. Turned down the offer of a four year deal at 19 despite not having a new club lined up.

 

[rogersix]

I'm not convinced by Adingra yet, when he starts. I'd be playing Mitoma.

Looks much more effective on the left, and it is only saints

 

[chaileyjem]

Might well be the battle of the 33s Dibling v O Riley.

​

Pervis has played a lot & had a baby so time for a rest. We're also playing with fire with Welbz too, so time for a rest - and Minteh's talents for pressing will be very useful against Southampton. I'd possibly play Ferguson for Rutter - pros and cons with both.

Quite …who knows how it will all end..but one hopes for the best ..I do find the contrast in the results from those six matches quite interesting

Up against a team shitter than the three we drew against, this is a banker away win.

Nailed on, glued, tarred and feathered.

 

[amexer]

Pick any team as long as they win and I can spend late Friday evening and Saturday morning staring at the league table.

Last time we played Southampton at the Amex Just LAST YEAR !! They were rock bottom of the table , we needed to win to get into Europe no less AND ...WE DID. No sign of glue, tar or feathers or indeed, nails.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

This is the team I think it will be and also the team I think it should be

Once Baleba is available again, I’d expect him to start in place of Ayari then that’d be Hurzeler’s first choice starting 11.

Is he Mary in disguise?

Rutter's still cup-tied. Why do you think everyone's picking Georginho in his place?
