Southampton - Nottingham Forest

[wassy04]

I take onboard your points guys, all valid but lets not pressure ourselves at this stage of the season in MUST win games! There will be games later in the season that most would expect us to lose but instead we win so gain the points back lost against expected or MUST win matches, it's the magic of the game and that's why we all love it as supporters!

I do agree with your point in that it's only must win when it is literally mathematically required to keep you up.

I think we can all agree it's important anyway, excited to see Scarpa off the bench (or even starting depending on fitness of the other front three!)

I was impressed with Scarpa when I saw him against Valencia, his effort , positioning and distribution were all very good. I wonder if Steve sees it this way and plays him from the start?

In a normal week no but given we've had two games relatively close together after no matches, lost Lingard to injury, MGW just back from injury, he might be inclined to throw the fresh legs in and rest one of the front three. Also, Southampton won't be expecting it so it could provide a shock for them.
