Saint Matty 76 Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Pretty much that. Forster Cedric - Fonte - van Dijk - Bertrand Wanyama - Clasie Mane - Tadic - Rodriguez Pelle Subs: Stekelenburg, Yoshida, Targett, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Long, Juanmi
lloydie Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Forster Soares fonte new cb Bertrand Vic Clasie Tadic mane j rod Pelle. Well, if you're saying new CB doesn't that really mean that in line with this game I should put a new player in each position? As I could always pick a better player to give us the "best team". Or you could have just picked Yoshida and I wouldn't have had to make this point.

Saint Garrett Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Forster Cedric Fonte Yoshida Bertrand Wanyama Clasie Mane Juanmi JRod Pelle Obviously we'll probably replace Yoshi and bring someone else in, and you could argue Tadic/JWP/Davis instead of Juanmi, but this lad looks really good from the little I've seen of him - think we'll be a very dangerous side with those front 4. Obviously also depends who we play.

jb4life Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Forster Cedric Fonte Yosh Bertrand Wanyama Clasie Tadic Mane JRod Pelle Personally think Mane has to play as a no.10. Far more influential in a central position, and a perfect foil for Pelle.

Junior Mullet Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Forster Soares fonte new cb Bertrand Vic Clasie Tadic mane j rod Pelle. I'm not sure he'll play J Rod in that way. I wouldn't be surprised if he rotates Pelle and J Rod in the target man position depending on strengths and weaknesses of opposition. Personally I would play him and Pelle together - that front 4 (possibly Juanmi for Tadic depending on form) would score a lot of goals and scare a lot of defences.

J Rod was very effective playing from that position before he was injured. I am sure we will see more movement across the line this season.
SaintTex Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 If our LCB is Yoshida, I think we need more defensive midfield cover, so I would go with a 4-2-3-1 ---------------Forster--------------- Soares—Fonte--Yoshida--Bertrand -------Clasie------Wanyama------- ----Mane-------Tadic------JRod---- -----------------Pelle---------------- If our LCB is Van Dijk or equal, I think we have Wanyama as the sole DM, so I would go with a 4-1-3-2 ---------------Forster---------------- Soares—Fonte--Van Dijk--Bertrand --------------Wanyama-------------- --Mane--------Clasie---------Tadic-- ---------Pelle-----------JRod---------

If We had vvd and he was playing well, I would be tempted to play clasie in that role instead of wanyama, then put juanmi behind Pelle/JRod. i.e. drop wanyama to the bench or use him on and off depending on the formation of the team we were playing. I think he's essential, but there's no reason we always need to play 4 at the back and 2 holding MF's.
Max Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Away from home 11 ------------Forster-------------- Soares---Fonte--Maya--Bertrand -------Vic-------Reed-------- -----------Clasie----------- Mane---------------Tadic ----------Pelle------------ At home: -----------Forster---------- Soares---Fonte--Maya--Bertrand -------------Vic------------------- Juanmi----Mane------Tadic ---------Pelle--------------- Time for young Harrison to step up this season, and JRod will have to eased in slowly - he still doesn't look quite right to me in the way he walks/runs. His gait is showing signs of his left knee not straightening right. Of course, this point may be completely moot if it was his right knee that got injured. Which was it?
Max Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Just realised I left Clasie out of my "at home 11' - oops. He'd go in for Juanmi on current evidence, but in the centre and shift Mane to the right. Afternoon beering on the Bournemouth beaches… apologies!
SaintTex Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 and JRod will have to eased in slowly - he still doesn't look quite right to me in the way he walks/runs. His gait is showing signs of his left knee not straightening right. Of course, this point may be completely moot if it was his right knee that got injured. Which was it?Count me as a constant worrier in regards to JRod, as well. I could be reading into it of course, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of joy on his face, even after scoring. A lot of it could be mental, as well. A 25 year old guy who has been in top physical form since he was a teenager, suddenly blows out a leg, on a seemingly harmless play, which causes him to be out 18 months. My confidence in my body and how it reacts would be shaken if that was me. in the back of my head, I might be constantly thinking.. is this the play or is this the slide or is this the jump, where that possibly happens again? It's got to wear on the mind. Plus, every little knock, which before he might blow off and say, no biggie, is now potentially amplified in his mind as something way worse.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Pretty much nobody has put Steve Davis in but he will start loads of games. I don't think we will play four attackers in many games, just as we didn't last season.

verlaine1979 Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Pretty much nobody has put Steve Davis in but he will start loads of games. I don't think we will play four attackers in many games, just as we didn't last season. That's probably because he primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, but hasn't scored in about a season and a half and only got 2 assists last year. Not remotely good enough.
VectisSaint Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 That's probably because he primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, but hasn't scored in about a season and a half and only got 2 assists last year. Not remotely good enough. Ronald thinks otherwise, like many others who don't rely solely on number of assist stats which do not tell the whole story. Agree he could do with adding a few goals this season hopefully the 2 on Tuesday will help his confidence in front of goal.
fanimal Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Point is though, when will everyone be fit? November? And with all the games (hopefully!) more injuries to come? Left side looks fragile and Clasie will need time to bed in. Thank goodness we have an easy start…….!! When have we said that before?
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 24 July, 2015 Posted 24 July, 2015 Big season for JWP. Don't know any saints fan who would have him in first 11. He gets a lot of hype with in the football community outside of Southampton yet the fans who watch him every week don't rate him very highly. Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk
Fan The Flames Posted 24 July, 2015 Posted 24 July, 2015 Forster is out for the season, it's pointless putting him in your line ups.
CB Fry Posted 24 July, 2015 Posted 24 July, 2015 Forster is out for the season, it's pointless putting him in your line ups. What part of "best team when everyone is fit" did you miss?
