Have a look a the squad that traveled and re-think your comment.
They play a 4-3-3 with a false 9...
To be fair, I wrote that before the squad announcement.
Also, The Stadium of Light (Lisbon, not Sunderland) is quite a fortress.
Looking at who's going and who's not going to Portugal, I believe Tim Sherwood has already made up his mind to exit the Europa League.
Southamptons form is a bit up and down, but they scored 4 in their last game with this team:
Southampton
They are a good team, play a settled system and have quality players throughout, and despite something of a "meh" season should not be taken lightly (and are only 8 points behind us).
They do seem prone to a bit of a 'ding dong' match, You score - We score kind of thing and to be honest I think thats the best chance we have.

Would take that team bit concerned about townsends form but other than not bad, must be close between naughton and walker for the rb spot.
Sherwood v Pinnochio
Fuck off Levy
Fuck off Levy
In light of recent performances and injuries, i think we should line up like this:
[formation=4411, Lloris, Walker(or Naughton), Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose, Lennon, Sandro, Eriksen, Townsend, Chadli, Adebayor][/formation]
and fucking smash em. I want at least 5 goals. Every time Sandro wins the ball back, he gives it to Eriksen who either puts it on a plate for someone else, or just smashed it in. 5 goals ahead after 60 minutes, and Kane and Soldado come on.... For Townsend and Lennon. We go flat 4 up top. 8-1 spurs. (Danny Rose at fault for their goal. Vertonghen also fell over)

Lawrensen has predicted us a 2-1 loss. However, due to the fact that he is a massive cunt face fuckwit, I'm going to predict 7-0 to us. Bentaleb x7.
I like it, as long as you mean
this crazy French bastard and not this one
Anyway, Soldado needs game time now the pressure is off, Chadli of course needs to start and having Townsend and Eriksen on is a must for them finding their best form again. So I like your team a lot.
Yes to all of this
Fuck soldado tbh, kane deserves to start ahead of him and ade deserves to start ahead of both.
3rd Choice Bobby.
I know Kane deserves it, you only need to look at my post in the Harry Kane thread for proof but Bobby needs the game time and I think it could be dangerous to throw Kane right into the mix.
