Pochettino's Saints vs. Koeman's Saints: Which would win if they played each other?

[andoru]

Finally got around to listening to last week's Monday Night Club podcast. Dave Merrington was asked this question. What do you reckon?

[niceandfriendly]

Poch's side would take the lead in the first 5 minutes. Then miss a whole host of chances to make it 2-0. Then Koeman's side would dominate the second half and win 3-1.

[Ultimatt]

0-0 draw. Schneiderlin and Wanyama would keep stealing the ball off Schneiderlin and Wanyama.

[Vegas]

Poch's side would take the lead in the first 5 minutes. Then miss a whole host of chances to make it 2-0. Then Koeman's side would dominate the second half and win 3-1.

 

Sounds about right.

 

What was Merrington's answer?

[Delboy Dave]

Mopos side would chase and chase and chase and run out of energy at 70 minutes when koemans side would take the victory :-)

[Cabrone]

Koeman's Saints 2-1.

 

Would be a very good game.

[nta786]

Poch Teams

 

Boruc

Clyne, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw

Schneiderlin, Wanyama

Davis, Lallana, Jay Rod

Lambert

 

Koeman's Team

 

Forster

Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand

Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Davis

Tadic, Pelle, Mane

 

If Koeman's team scores first- a routine 2/3-0 victory. Poch could never make a comeback- maybe the odd consolation goal.

However, even if Poch's team scored first, I'd still havw confidence in Koemans team to score.

 

I'd go 2-1 to Koemans team

[Barry the Badger]

0-0

[andoru]

Koeman's Wanyama scores from 40 yards after Pochettino's Boruc commits a howler. Pochettino's Saints lose, unable to come from behind and win.

[Lets B Avenue]

Sounds about right.

 

What was Merrington's answer?

 

As usual, he wasn't listening to the question and proceeded to rabbit on at a complete tangent.

[KingdomCome]

It would be a very low scoring game, maybe 1 - 0 win to Koeman as I think Poch's Saints would struggle to create something to get past a very well organised defence.

 

Sounds about right.

 

What was Merrington's answer?

 

"What they don't want to do now is..."

[MongoNeil]

0-0 draw. Schneiderlin and Wanyama would keep stealing the ball off Schneiderlin and Wanyama.

 

Made me laugh.

[SNSUN]

The game would be postponed after the two Fonte's on the pitch decide to team up and get their own back on Osvaldo.

Haaaaaaaa

[DT]

Koeman's would win 2-0. Pochettino would be seen after the game measuring the pitch with one of those wheelie things surveyors use.

Hang on a minute, didn't Pochettino's Spuds BEAT Koeman's Saints recently or did I imagine that and nobody on here rates Pochettino's Spuds.

The question is about Pochettino's SAINTS. (i.e. Saints of 2013/14 vs. Saints of 2014/15)

[DuncanRG]

I'm glad it'll never happen because a Wanyama-on-Wanyama collision would probably rip the space-time continuum

[Coxford_lou]

Ha! Good one.

[whelk]

This year's Wanyama would dominate last season's

[Dr Who?]

1-1

[cellone]

Out of every three it would go RK 2 MP 1.

 

Not sure about those playing in both teams, could affect their professional approach to the game.

[Ohio Saint]

Jos could finally score an own goal that counts in our favour!

I don't think many rate Pochettino's Spuds right now. Even Sherwood's Spuds did the double over Pochettino's Saints last season. Seems to be a bogey team for us.
