#SaintsFC XI to play #Boro: Forster, Pied, Cáceres, Yoshida ©, Bertrand, Clasie, Romeu, Højbjerg, Boufal, Rodriguez, Long.

 

 

with Davis not playing deeper and no tadic, think we will do well with that side.

You can see him on Saints FB video getting off the coach.

 

Can see the point in resting him with such a packed end to the season but it'd have made much more sense to leave him down South.

 

At least we'll have some sort of answer to the Caceres question.

Gabbiadini needs to start every game. So frustrating but been that way since he arrived, 2 goals in a cup final and Puel drags him off, while Utd leave a 35 year old zlatan on to stroll around and score the winner. Why does Puel think footballers are so unfit? Guarantee none of them WANT to get dropped. Just interrupted everyone's form and continuity all season and meant we've got nowhere.

 

Caceres finally starts, not sure why now. If he does well he won't be here next season anywhere will he. Good to see Pied get a game but Cedric has been one of our better players. Midfield looks better with Clasie and Romeu but even less creative than usual. Then there's Long and Rodriguez. Maybe he thinks a game against a rubbish side will help them, but I'd be disappointed if either were still here next season. Neither have earned a place in that team.

 

Gabbiadini was clearly knackered - Puel was right to take him off and put fresher legs on. Especially with the prospect of ET.

Woeful team selection. Exactly what I have come to expect from the idiot Puel.

 

Why is it woeful? Middlesbrough didn't have a game in midweek, Saints did. Saints also have another game in 4 days time.

 

It appears many modern football fans aren't aware of recovery times of athletes and think they all recover instantly at the same rate as each other. :mcinnes:

Keep Gabbiadini fresh for Man Utd

 

So he can run around chasing the United back 4 without another player within 60 yards....Anything he should play in games like today which we have a better chance of winning in and suit his style of play and play Long to do the headless chicken act against the big teams.

On that basis the one person who deserves a rest is Romeu!

Problem has been midfield not creating enough clear chances, I guarantee now with this line up we will create more but with long and jay up front they will miss loads knowing our luck, he just never seems to get the whole team right.

I think how we fare today will go a long way to deciding my verdict on Puel. It does seem strange to make so many changes for a game that we should be looking to win. If the players perform and we get a good result, maybe Puel knows what he's doing. Otherwise it raises too many questions in my book.

 

Fingers crossed!
