Aguerd, Zouma and Benrahma will all be fasting.

Wonder if that has any bearing on the system we play and who starts

Is that actually true? Do we know that they are all observant to that degree?

Benrahma has in the past, I'm not sure of the other ones.

Hasn’t changed anything in the past? Can’t imagine it doing so now

It all made sense to me. I've always thought Moyes is hostile and a narcissist.

There was a recent video with both CBs, Flynn and someone hosting a session about Ramadan and was pretty clear they do follow it closely.

He has to start.
His defending against Brentford for their goal is perhaps some of the saddest I've seen this season, just in terms of making someone look out of their depth athletically in this league. Sadly he has moments like this far too often.

I think the frustrating thing about it is that we all know Cresswell is obviously technically competent, even if he does tend to be overrated in that aspect too, he can be relied upon to do the foundational things well enough with the ball.

But his defensive abilities are shocking really.

Emerson is a must start imo.

I also don't know what Ings has done to merit a place in the starting lineup for this.

Anyway, we should win and win well.

Areola
Coufal zouma augerd Emerson
Rice paqueta soucek
Bowen scamacca benrahma

Soucek is needed to help control midfield,he has been better recently . If he us poor then downes firnals or lanzini are all differing options

2-0 win onto the Saudi team

We need goals, and for that a goalscorer comes in handy

Ings needs to start

The phrase 'must win game' has been bandied about a lot, but I imagine the saints supporters are saying the same thing.. winning this one and losing the next 2 would be very poor. 5 points from 3 games would be decent, even 4 would be acceptable. Less than 3 and we might as well forget it

This should be our easiest game of the season being at Home against the worst Team in the League still without a permanent manager beyond this season (3rd already this season).

True, that's a nightmare shared by Leicester and Palace (both on 1 point in 5 games); Forest have obtained 2.

I suspect we will need to score 3 to win this. I just have the feeling Saints will get 2, no idea how…
