Positives....

Go for the 100 goals against!

The attacking positive of Saints just makes the more important defending under pressure...cant see a positive at the moment unless defenders come in on loan and very quickly

 

Well that ain't going to happen seeing as PL clubs can't sign loan players, for the 1 millionth time.

Positives:

 

Lallana has matured into a fine player and captain and is clearly Premier League class

Schneiderlin has been a complete revelation, player of the season I would say so far

Ward-Prowse is going to be a hell of a player in 2-3 years time

Steven Davis looks like a great signing - when Cork comes back, our centre midfield area looks very strong for years to come

Puncheon looks like he is really bought in and playing well

Clyne is probably our best signing so far (Gaston has hardly played) - he has been our best defender and also one of our best attacking threats

Lambert is just a classy footballer - good enough for any league

Rodriguez is our Lambert in waiting and can help lighten the load this season

Once the goalkeeping position is settled, I actually think we have a very solid group

We have Gaston, Cork, and Lee all to come into the side.

 

Negatives:

 

Defence hasn't been good enough. I think Hooiveld and Fonte are better than they are showing, and can be decent backups, but we need two starting centre backs

Left back is looking very weak. Fox is a decent backup at PL level but not a regular starter. We need depth at the position. Shaw has showed in the U21 games that he looks a real threat going forward but he's looked pretty dodgy at the back.

Wing-forward position looks weak - we want to play 4-3-3 which means two wide front players. We have players that can play there but it looks to be square pegs in round holes. Puncheon fits that position perfectly and to some degree so does Lallana, but beyond that we're pretty thin. Rodriguez has proven he cant play wide left; Mayuka hasn't looked comfortable wide right; Guly doesn't look comfortable at this level full stop. We need another player comfortable playing in the wide positions of the front three.

Biggest positive has to be that defensively it can't get worse. So with inevitable improvement, getting some points isn't that unlikely.

 

Personally I just want to see Lallana/Ramirez/Lambert leading the attack as many games as possible, and for the full 90. That's our biggest asset and if we're to do well it needs utilising.

 

 

Very true
