Ronald Koeman has been speaking to the media ahead of Thursday evenings game against FC Midtjylland at St Mary's Stadium.
Ronald Koeman has been talking about how FC Midtjylland will be a different prospect from Vitesse and will play a tighter less open game than the Dutch team .
"Tomorrows game will be a lot more difficult than the Vitesse game. They have more physical players and they don't play so open as Dutch teams" said Koeman.
The manager also confirmed that Steven Caulker will be back in the squad for the game, something that Saints fans will be glad to hear after the defensive frailties against both Newcastle and Everton.
Koeman also went on to say how his new look back line needs time to adjust to the playing style of the team and confirmed that in footballing cliche terms he would be taking every game as it comes and that meant taking Thursday's fixture as a priority.
"I don't make a team with Sunday's game in mind. I make the best team to get a result tomorrow."
Good words from Ronald Koeman and hopefully Saints can repeat their performance against Vitesse where they played the perfect two legged European tie.
Tickets are still available and hopefully there will be a big walk up on the night that will push the crowd to somewhere near capacity, certainly although FC Midtjylland are not a household name in England or even a team most Saints fans would have heard of before the draw, they are no push overs and as Koeman has confirmed it will be far tougher than Vitesse, therefore the team need a big crowd behind them.
