Yep totally agree - I hate to say it but I think Coutinho would be likely to make way.

Yeah BR has said he's only 60 percent match fit. I know what you mean about keeping the same team but in this case I would bring in Hendo just because it's away and Southampton are a good team at home imo.
They're pretty nifty on the break too, which we'll have to watch. Hopefully this isn't the inevitable banana skin that's always just around the corner. It's like playing fucking Mario Kart.
LOL - Only without the heat seeking red shells!
I was going to make that joke, but changed my mind. Having seen it written down I'm glad someone did it.
Same team please
I mean go more 433 than 442. So hendo doesn't go out wide, he stays in the middle, front 3 to offer the width.
For me it's pretty much a toss up between playing hendo or downing, they've both improved a bit and neither are currently playing like liabilities. The rest of the team when fit picks itself really.
Sturridge was largely rubbish against Spurs
Hmmmm I wouldn't say that. He wasn't as good as he has been but he did just return from injury and he really did improve as the game went on I thought.
His work rate up until our second goal was abject. He didn't work their back four enough or Scott Parker who was dictating the tempo from in front of his back four.
Yes, he was coming back from injury, but he looked lazy and disinterested.
The crowd were starting to get on his back a bit too.
It's a bit of a concern but he has acknowledged that he didn't play as well as he would have liked and prior to this his attitude on the pitch for us has been first class.
I mentioned this in the game thread, but I'm starting to worry about his body language on the pitch, he doesn't seem to celebrate goals with the team and almost seems like a strange out there, bit like Torres at Chelsea, maybe it's just taking him time to settle in here.
I don't know about that mate.
Him and Suarez came out for the second half, arms around the others shoulder, and were quite animated in their chat.
They seemed to have a good rapport and I don't think that Sturridge has any problems with his team mates or them with him..
He may be the type of player who gets easily frustrated and his play and form drop accordingly
Really? Why?
I just think that it gives us a proper middle 3, then suarez, sturridge and coutinho moving about upfront and providing the attack.
I think with downing playing (and I'm not against him playing) we go more 442 or 4222 or whatever it is. I think those 3 in the middle give better balance.
I think hendo and downing have been playing at about the same level as of late, pretty decent, so I'm not aghast to see either start.
Because our midfield gets overrun too easily as was evident against spurs.
Hopefully that's it, maybe he just doesn't go crazy when a goal is scored like everyone else.
But Spurs are far better than Southampton. I think we often try and be too clever for our own good.
Hahahaha its Bale fc now? Shit just seen my post has been edited as well.
Anyway I dont see it as being too clever but keeping a nice balance between midfield and attack. We need more control of midfield, but that wont happen with just gerrard and lucas.

And have WUMs !.!
Thanks for that, interesting read. Fans of other clubs really lap up this Suarez pantomine villian bullshit dont they? Ross would go mad on those forums too.
haha took about 3 posts for that thread to start becoming a bitch fest
Part of me thinks we'll batter them, part thinks we'll struggle. Same as ever.
