Anyone have any idea how Saints' new manager likes to play? All unknown is he likes to give youth a go.

We should win either way.

He didn't get much game time in preseason either so it's a valid point to raise. Especially since Jose even confirmed that Miki was unhappy at not being picked.

Personally I can't wait for him to get a run of games because I struggle to accept a future with Mata on the right (still) and Fellaini in CM.

LVG was hammered for these same decisions, if you recall...

"LVG was hammered for these same decisions, if you recall..."

Lingard scored the winning goal in the shield and Mata/Rooney scored last weekend, soI'm not sure he can be hammered' just yet.

Jose did say earlier that we should expect Mkhi to play a lot of games.

I never suggested anyone should be hammered and I never even mentioned Lingard! I just said that I struggle to accept a future with Mata on the right and Fellaini in CM - decisions for which LVG was hammered due to the number of times they were ineffective...

i.e. I haven't forgotten all of the times that this system was ineffective just because it worked ok against Bournemouth last week.

I am hoping that Miki will eventually make one of the midfield positions his own. That's not a slight on Mata or Felly - I just think that Miki can add a dimension to our play that they can't (assuming he settles in ok).

Mik started 3 of our 5 preseason games and came on at half time against Everton. The only game where he hardly played was the Community Shield. He got a good amount of game time in preseason.

Really?'just 1 , just seems strange, by far our most talented att midfielder, hopefully he starts tonight, Mata, Rooney combo is just slower than slow

Not since we have had a full squad. Anyway, as long as we are winning I don't really care but I'd like to see him more involved in future.
