Dawson!!!!¡!!!!

[palerider]

I'd forgotten we'd signed him.

[Ibbyham]

Not convinced by our line-up

Why that F*CK Ing is playing??? He is OUT injured......Did he took drug??? As per Southampton presser, the manager said Ing is out injured. F*cking Liar!!!

[BlackDiamond]

I'd forgotten we'd signed him.

He is a 34 year old Watford geezer (on loan) making his debut...

Bloody Jesus creepers - why absent Diop and Balbuena for goodness sake

step up to the show Craig Dawson. Dontcha love the way Moyes goes about his professional obligations

I assume Balbuena has a knock as he's not even on the bench.

Diop got the chance against Palace and blew it.

The side he's putting out to-nite is the side I might have considered putting out against Brighton,if I wanted to give
CHs and Coufal a break... not against these.

Gonna need a couple to get a draw I reckon...dodgy putting a practically whole new defense in,Soton love a press and
getting at you...Hope to fuck I'm wrong..

Very much limited my bet on us to-nite.....

2 Players due a break against Everton.....Rice and Soucek............. .......

Dawson!!!!¡!!!!

The last time Diop played he looked really shaky. Presumably Moisty saw them in training and chose accordingly. Normally I would trust the managers judgement, but after the Brighton line up I’m not so sure...

Fredericks makes sense, he’s not been Diop bad and Coufal has played a lot of football, even machines need resting. It’s one area where we do have strength in depth, so may as well use it, unlike in CM where Basmati Bonds and the Czech Patrick Vieira will have to play until their legs fall off.

At least Lanzini starts instead of Noble.

[Hammershark]

Well..... it looks like a back four with two (Dawson & Fredericks) that haven’t played any games this season.
Doesn’t inspire confidence esp with prob our two hardest working players coufal and Bowen not in the team.
Wish I hadn’t backed us now lol

I think the shape looks okay, and definitely attacking enough to support Haller.

Would have preferred Diop but Dawson apparently has impressed in training.

The two wide players will have to work hard but they always do, so reckon we won't worry too much about possession and hit them on the break.

Not sure what Johnson done wrong to get dropped?
