krissyboy31 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Only reservation is that he is very easy to run past so would he actually contain Hazard at all? Attacking wise it fits. I think he could do a job because he has a great engine to get up and down. Also doesn't disrupt the back 3 and allows us to play big Vic, Morgan and Davis in midfield, without the team losing his dead-ball/crossing ability.
verlaine1979 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Assuming Wanyama & Schneiderlin start, why would you drop JWP in favour of keeping Davis? JWP made one assist from open play and one from a set-piece in the last game, while Davis looked slow and gave the ball away twice around his own area. To beat a team of Chelsea's quality, set-pieces could be vital, and we've only looked remotely dangerous from them since JWP returned to the side.
smarmy Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Stunning day. On the train down and feeling optimistic. 1 0! Just read Koeman's comments. "No, we go for it. That's football and if you don't go for it, stay home." COYR!
Saint-Armstrong Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 @Nathaniel_Clyne: Disappointed I can't be involved today big game to miss but I'll be back soon good luck to the lads today #WeMarchOn #KeepMeInYourFantasy
Saint Charlie Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Very interested to see what Koeman does. Lots of options.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 If it was me I'd put McCarthy in.
Roger Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 What's up with Bertrand? He's on loan from Chelsea so can't play.
jamesfp1 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 What's up with Bertrand? just realised haha

Although been about our best player this season , we do have options. I don't know enough about the U21 players to comment but.. Toby play RB for Belgium, - CBs or back three of Fonte/ Gardos/ yoshida Jwp was used there last season, particularly if a back 3 behind him. Playing a more attacking winger with three behind. I thought in Everton game it was a clear 3 at the back Rarely looked like 5. Although Chelsea may demand different!
Coldridge Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Slot Alderweireld into RB/RWB, Yoshi and Gardos coming into CB with Fonte.

I never mentioned a broken bone!
nta786 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Forster Toby Fonte Yoshida Targett Morgan Wanyama JWP Mane/Long Pelle Tadic Subs: Davis, Gardos, Long, Reed, Davis, Seager and Mccarthy This would be my team.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Soooo.... Forster. Yoshi Toby Fonte Tadic Morgan Vic Targett Davis Mane Pelle
nta786 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Chelsea Lineup: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Filipe Luis; Matic, Mikel; Schurrle, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa. With Mikel playing I feel we have a chance all of a sudden!
doc oli Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Nah, back to 4-2-3-1, Toby rb to mark hazard out of the game....
nta786 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Soooo.... Forster. Yoshi Toby Fonte Tadic Morgan Vic Targett Davis Mane Pelle Nah, I reckon this. Forster Toby Fonte Yoshi Targett Morgan Wanyama Davis Mane Pelle Tadic 433.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Nah, back to 4-2-3-1, Toby rb to mark hazard out of the game.... Might be....I think it's still 3-5-2'though.
shurlock Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Might be....I think it's still 3-5-2'though. Tadic as a wingback
Saint Garrett Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Tadic as a wingback They normally put it on Twitter as per position...this is how they've put it on.. @SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC team vs @chelseafc: Forster, Yoshida, Fonte ©, Alderweireld, Targett, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Tadić, Mané, Pellè.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 No - back to 4-3-3. You're right. @SouthamptonFC: Koeman on @Nathaniel_Clyne and @ryanbertrand3 missing the game: "That's one of the reasons we play with four defenders today." #saintsfc
shurlock Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 They normally put it on Twitter as per position...this is how they've put it on.. @SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC team vs @chelseafc: Forster, Yoshida, Fonte ©, Alderweireld, Targett, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Tadić, Mané, Pellè. If so, for all we know Yoshida could be playing fullback in a 4-3-3. Either way, can't think of anyone more ill suited to wingback than Tadic.
doddisalegend Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Wil we ever have our best 11 avaliable when playing one of the big teams this season? Seem like we always lose some of our best players for the really big games......
niceandfriendly Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Yoshida vs Costa. Excellent. He'll have a good game, Yoshi.
Coxford_lou Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Shame we're not going to get to try out the 5-3-2 with Chelsea, I fancied our chances. Still do, just a little bit less so.
Hamilton Saint Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Anybody have Saints Player yet? I've tried, but get nothing.
Hamilton Saint Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Ah, just started (15 minutes before KO). Why the delay?
The Saint Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Anybody have Saints Player yet? I've tried, but get nothing. It's just come on now...
Coxford_lou Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 @SimonPeach: #SaintsFC reverting to four at the back against #CFC. Alderweireld a more capable right-back than Yoshida, but preferred at CB against Costa
nta786 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Sorry But this Formation is 4-2-3-1 I wouldn't be surprised tbh, we do need bodies in midfield.
nta786 Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Anyways, I'm off to the game. Talk to you all later!
Saint Garrett Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Yoshi at RB vs Hazard. Could get messy
SuperMikey Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Sorry But this Formation is 4-2-3-1 Nah, that's 4-3-3 bro. ------------FORSTER-------------- TOBY---FONTE---YOSHI---TARGETT ---DAVIS---MORGAN--WANYAMA--- TADIC-------PELLE------------MANE
Plastic Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Changing my prediction to 0-4. John terry hat trick and og by Forster Actually no I'll stick with 2-1
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 28 December, 2014 Posted 28 December, 2014 Hmmm, issue is going to be attacking wise, as we use our full backs to create our width, and without Yoshida getting forward we may well struggle.

Think this will be a tin hat job. They are strong through the middle so 4-3-3 should hopefully keep it tight, and provide them with less opportunity. Still think Vic will be key if he plays well! Eek!
