Matthew Le God Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 (edited) Thinking back to the possible injury thing. The 3 players that are pretty crucial to our team are Forster, Schneiderlin and Pelle. The player that we probably can't cover right now that would effect our style is Pelle. Isn't Pelle the furthest to the left of all the players in this photo? https://twitter.com/RonaldKoeman/status/518392335487737856/photo/1 Edited 4 October, 2014 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 Thinking back to the possible injury thing. The 3 players that are pretty crucial to our team are Forster, Schneiderlin and Pelle. The player that we probably can't cover right now that would effect our style is Pelle. I think if Pelle got injured we would alter our formation and style of play - probably revert back to more of a 4-2-3-1 and focus on playing the ball in behind the defence to Tadic, Mane and Long. Barring Gallagher we haven't really got another forward who can hold the ball up like Pelle can, so I think we'd be a bit more counter-attacking and using our pacy wingers/striker to get at defences rather than playing through them.

Pancake Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 These sort of postings really get my goat. Why don't you go and do your attention seeking elsewhere. Fine. And people wonder why this place is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Chalet Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 Fine. And people wonder why this place is dying. We've always had snipers, and always will. Tends to be worse when we are losing.

St Chalet Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 Given that Pelle has been called up for Italy, I'd assume he is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 Saints play that formation when Pelle plays, Koeman switches between a 4-2-3-1 and a 4-3-3 during games. I think we play more of a 4-3-3 when in possession, without the ball it seems to revert to almost a 4-4-1-1. But we are very fluid as a team so it's often quite difficult to tell exactly what formation we're playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 Saints play that formation when Pelle plays, Koeman switches between a 4-2-3-1 and a 4-3-3 during games. I think it's 4-3-3 with the only question being how the midfield three set-up. The two players either side of Pelle play very high up the pitch and far higher than the highest central midfield player therefore it can't really be 4-2-3-1.

dannysfc Posted 4 October, 2014 Share Posted 4 October, 2014 Am Buzzing for this game as I missed the one last season at WHL so am looking forward to it tomorrow as I love London away games going by Train and taking the atmosphere in and am feeling confident that we'l come away with a 2-1 win which would be Great but will see what happens I guess as it'd be nice to keep the pressure on Chelsea & City & will be Good to give Poch some stick as well!

david in sweden Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 Interesting .....that the media (BBC and Sky) have almost totally ignored this fixture on their home pages, (as though it wasn't being played.) Not a word about the game, (the only exception was Robbie Savage's BBC article on Friday (about Pochettino's new life) Are they afraid that Spuds might actually lose ...or that we might even win ...against one of the (" big clubs ) that are supposedly dominating the Premier League.?

Woooa mate, I know "Pancake's" news is not good news and I for one, hope it is not genuine, but if he is posting it here in good faith then there is no need to accuse him of not being a true Saints fan. Why do people always insist on shooting the messenger if the news they carry is not to their liking? It's up to you whether you believe it or not, no one is forcing you.
