Wesley Sneijder for Saints?

Yes but also we don't play anyone close enough to Pelle. When we get the ball to him he is too isolated. We are playing with two wide men and not enough bodies centrally. This is part of the reason we cannot keep possession.... It is also the reason Pelle cannot find a teamate quickly when he has the ball at his feet.

It is almost the polar opposite of Poch who flooded the pitch centrally and retained possession.

A compromise would help perhaps....

 

I'm only really talking about enabling a change in tactics if/when Pelle isn't available. When we do have him in the side, his hold up play allows our fullbacks and our conservative MF three to push up in support. Where we've looked toothless has been in cup games when Pelle has been rested. In those games the gap between MF and attack is too wide, meaning we still end up trying to hit Mane/Long/Tadic early, which isn't the best way to use forwards heavy on pace and movement, but relatively low on strength.
