Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Burnley

Sunday’s events conclude at St Mary’s as Southampton play host to Sean Dyche’s Burnley.

The Saints will be seeking a fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League, a seventh in a row in all competitions.

Visitors Burnley will need to improve their attacking threat in order to threaten that record. The Clarets have scored just five goals from their seven matches, creating three big chances – the fewest in the Premier Leauge.

The Saints attack has disappointed with just seven goals scored in their seven matches. However, the statistics show that they have the potential to improve on that record in this one: Claude Puel’s side have produced a shot on goal every 4.8 minutes at St Mary’s – only Liverpool have been more threatening in home matches this season.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Only if Son didn't come on with 15mins to go, then I would have Austin captain 🙁

    Cleanies are a myth this season so far

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      More pens = less clean sheets

      1. Baby Face Nelson
        • 13 Years

    CLEARLY RED DESERVED FOR TADIC! DEAN, ARE YOU BLIND?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Blind is in Liverpool right now I would assume

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Probably at home still.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      We're not. We can read lowercase too.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        SORRY

  22. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Terrible penalty

    1. MrMaverick
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      lucky to score yep

  23. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I needed that CS loss

  24. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Going 3-5-2/3-4-3 depending on fixtures. Rotating Austin and Allen. Seems the way forward. Best of both worlds. He's 5th mid, and I have early .4 from Capoue.

    Foster / Pickford
    Vert / Williams / Holebas / Kelly / Amat
    Sanchez / Firmino / Sterling / Son / Allen
    Aguero / Lukaku / Austin.

    Only other pressing issue is Pieters in for Kelly at some point. Son out maybe when Kane comes back, depending on form.

    Anyone got count if the number of pens awarded this season? Year of the pen takers

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero and Benteke essential

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Year of the pen missers too

    3. MrMaverick
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      ive only one pen taker in kun and maybe lukaku too

      concerned a wee bit

  26. Pasqualinho

    7 years, 8 months ago

    See, Christian and Sergio? Penalties are easy when you roll it down the middle and the goalkeeper dives out of the way.

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Benteke's is rolling down the high street

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Awful pen.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Poor Kevin. Always forgotten.

      Legend says Beckhams pen is going out of the solar system right this moment

    Anyone know why Sam McQueen isn't listed on FPL?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He will be soon.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Any chance he'll come straight in at 4.4?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I'll ask FPL now.

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Because he is a dead actor who was in The Great Escape?

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Oh, thanks.

      If the head of refereeing is watching this game, Woking probably
