Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Southampton 3 v Swansea City 0 | The Emirates FA Cup Third Round

[Malaga]

Who is on the bench to replace our cb pair who can't last 90 minutes

 

[Copamundial]

In for a hiding today, be glad to be proven wrong but can’t see it.

 

[Swansea93]

Don’t want to be negative but I’ve been thinking a 5-0 loss today.

Who is on the bench to replace our cb pair who can't last 90 minutes

Good question.

 

[bytholwyn]

I imagine Fulton will come on for Naughton second half, seeing that I can't see him lasting 90 minutes. Or Tjoe-A-On? Certainly tall enough. Has played in that position before for his previous clubs.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Surprised Darling isn't on the bench, even just incase Naughton or Christie gets injured, or he might not be included because a move away is imminent?

 

[Ringwood]

Naughton and Christie is football suicide.... could have played Lissah with one of those. They will slaughter us for pace.

Only saving grace, they have no strikers starting. Manning no doubt will score

If the Southampton attack click today then I can see an absolute drubbing. Two FBs who are prone to disappear somewhere near the centre circle *with Lukes tactics * and 2 CBs who are both FBs that should have retired a couple of years ago. Worst CB pairing that I can remember in my years and that includes Mark Hughes, David Cole, Speedy, Dudley, Duffer etc etc in the halcyonic years of 84/84

 

[Cooperman]

Enjoy the viewing, chaps. I’m not able to watch so will catch up with the highlights later.

Sorry
With the exception of Emlyn Hughes and whoever partnered him in 83/84

 

[A4Jack]

Do we have that little confidence in the U21s that we don't even want to use one of the CBs on the bench?

In a game we will probably lose by 3?

 

[Swanjaxs]

Swansea will fancy thier chances...

Like fuck

 

[TheLoneRanger]

One defender on the bench.

 

[Swanjaxs]

One defender on the bench.

One more than on the pitch

Lissah isn't fit and the other options at centre back with the U21s are nowhere near good enough.
