Avenue Saint

Play a front 3 of jrod, pelle and mane. Wanyama and Romeu anchoring, and Tadic linking play in between

Are you ever able to say anything positive about saints?

You're maturing. Up the Saints

Totally agree. Davis and Jwp carry 0 goal threat. Will be immensely frustrating if Clasie comes in to fitness and Davis keeps him out. Romeu should become a regular partner for Wanyama as was Morgan. Romeu looks to be able to pass it as well having a decent shot on him. Our recent successes have undoubtedly been linked to having a settled team. It will inevitably take time for players to build relationships on the pitch as well as learn each other's game and for that reason, we should try and establish a settled back six. Cedric----Fonte---VvD----Bertrand -------Wanyama----Romeu You can then chop and change the forwards according to gameplan, tactics and opposition. We almost had the best defence in the league last season and we always had a settled back six irrespective of opposition.

What a thread.

Got a positive feeling about today, hopefully the goals will start flowing now.

I would rather Bertrand start and Targett replace after 60 mins. Increase game time and match fitness that way.

Said it earlier, forget defending, use him for his strengths. Sit wanyama and Clasie/Romeu behind him, and mane and jrod in front. Let him pick out some passes for those two to run on to and we could have a real recipe for success! Some may disagree but I would have Ramirez over Davis and 'mr invisible' One Cross Prowse all day long!

Irrespective of how involved he is, he nearly always plays 1 killer pass. He has that in his locker. With Rodriguez slowly coming in to form and Mane with all his willing pace, someone like Ramirez sat behind could work like a slick oiled machine. Definitely an option worth having. I for one certainly hope he gets involved around the match day squad from here on in.

Do you have another club you truly support? Or do you just moan moan and moan about saints? Didn't realise that's what "supporting" a club meant!

Jwp mate is a total non entity without possession may as well play with a player less. He can whip a ball in but such a one trick pony. The moment he took Romeu off the sea of space just opened up further. We are so weak at fullback and replacing clyne with a player that is deemed a risk by the manager, so much so that he plays a CB out of position speaks volumes. We need Bertrand back asap, stek is too slow off his line and we have to get Clasie involved as soon as possible. That way we don't lose defensive strength whilst still offering a decisive pass out to the forwards. We are too slow moving the ball forward at the moment and we sat back way too much. There RANT over.

Blatant troll.

Could probably develop to 3rd choice with better quality players around and coaching.

We do appear to have some overly pedantic Gits within our fan base...

This lineup. Not sure of formation though...

Good corners will only get you so far.

I don't think he is the same player of a couple of years ago. Seriously average for a player in such a key position. Don't think he will play much when Clasie is fit.

Davis is always first on your team sheet isn't he?

It's not defensive when you've got Rodriguez, tadic, mane and pelle in front.

This.
