The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Burnley

16 October 2016 1772 comments

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.

                Alexis Firmino Son with Kun kaku Costa up front. Need to take out Puncheon asap. Don't have much of a choice tbh but it's a punt I'm happy to take..

          This! Far from Capoue.
          Great 5th mid option of going 352. I have Rashford as my 3rd striker so can easily see Allen out scoring next week.

            At his price he's a really good sub in a 343 for me.

      Very hard to plan that fat ahead particularly with someone with Austin's injury record

      But sounds a decent plan

      And he does lose form/get injured- there is always Long/J Rod to take his place!

      Lots of captains will be Zlatan in dead teams.
      96% top 10k captains played and that's a better indicator of live teams that you're competing against.

    Big test for Bournemouth next week at home to Spurs. Will be interesting to see if Bournemouth D can hang in there and also if Son and Alli continue their run of form.

      I think it is a good time to use it now since Capoue has had his run and you need to fix that Defence with more than one or two moves. I'd also look to swap out Redmond for a stoke mid
