Saints v Inter Milan - Build Up And Matchday Thread

Has De Boer been sacked? Was supposed to happen early this morning?

Have we any fit players left to rotate?

A front 3 of McQueen Olomola and Isgrove wouldn’t inspire confidence

Any news on Schlong and J-Rod?

From the BBC

A confused picture at Inter Milan this morning, where it is fair to say Frank de Boer’s tenure as manager is hanging by a thread.

I spoke to a couple of people at the club late last night.

One said De Boer’s departure would be announced this morning, another said the Dutchman could cling on for Thursday’s Europa League tie with Southampton, but that if he didn’t win that, he would be out.

It seems the former Ajax coach, who was only appointed in August, is not taking training this morning ahead of a conversation with Inter’s owners, the Suning Group, that could seal his fate.

He can’t be any more rusty than he was last time out @Inter can he?

Possibly - 20 mins plus a bang on the noggin against Sunderland reserves isn’t going bring you to full fitness!

#recallGallagher!

And it has been confirmed de Boer has been given his marching orders.

Inter visit Southampton in the Europa League on Thursday (20:05 GMT).

Youth team coach Stefano Vecchi will take charge of the first team for that fixture.

FFS don’t let LITSL get his stripy bowl out for his morning bowel scouring cereal. He predicted we’d win 3:1 on Sunday

Not possible I’m afraid. Season long loan.

Yep … The Sunderland thread last week and look at the goal that inspired

Which team?

Going by the recent predictions / results recently it could be either side…

I’ll line them up! Ha ha

Hope we put a stromg team out. JWP and Hojdberg should come in for Claise and Davis, based on the usual rotation, and Sundays form. Other than that, put out a fisrt choice team on Thursday.

Same again at Hull , and then withdraw players from the international squads wih slight strains etc, so they get a rest

I’d had a couple of beers last night and forgot that the game was on and arranged to go out tomorrow. I don’t feel it would be right to cancel. Oh well.
