trousers Posted 16 October, 2017 Share Posted 16 October, 2017 One assumes the script is all set for JRod to score upon his return to St Mary's....? My line up off the top of my head (FWIW): McCarthy Bertrand VvD Yoshida Cedric Romeu Davis Boufal Lemina Gabbi Long subs: Forster, Targett/McQueen, Hoedt, JWP/Hojbjerg, Tadic, Redmond, Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 16 October, 2017 Share Posted 16 October, 2017 JR will score at least one if not two, and I for one wouldn't begrudge him any success, another victim of Puel's cruel treatment . Another big tall physical team, ironically at the away game last season I thought we would get bullied with Clasie and PEH but they ran the game! Another draw, if we are lucky...

verlaine1979 Posted 16 October, 2017 Share Posted 16 October, 2017 Lemina and Boufal seemed to link up well when the latter came on - both very energetic, always looking for space and both equally happy/capable of passing or running. Get those two playing close to each other with Gabbiadini ahead of them on the last defender, and build the rest of the team around that combination. Who else comes in seems largely immaterial - the rest of the squad have demonstrated comprehensively that they aren't really capable of influencing games, so just pick whoever is most likely to put in a hard-working shift, and whose ego wont get in the way.

JRM Posted 16 October, 2017 Share Posted 16 October, 2017 It is going to be an awful game of football, two of the dullest teams to watch, 0-0 or 1 goal wins it I reckon, at least being a 5.30 Saturday evening game the crowd might be a bit livelier to create some atmosphere.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 16 October, 2017 Share Posted 16 October, 2017 Boufal for Redmond, obviously. Mccarthy for Forster. VVD looks like he couldn’t care less. I’d put Hoedt in with Yoshida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 16 October, 2017 Share Posted 16 October, 2017 I think this is a huge, huge game in our season. Pelligrino needs to show he is adaptable. I have a real worry that he will revert to one striker by dropping Long and bringing Davis back in. Still think 3-5-2 is the way to go with the players we have at our disposal - f*ck the Wolves game, I don't care, one cup game isn't going to convince me that a certain formation is never going to work ever. It worked brilliantly for us under Koeman when Pelle was injured and we played Long/Mane up top. I wouldn't mind seeing McCarthy given a chance either, if nothing else Forster needs some time out of the spotlight as he is under serious pressure every single game now with such high profile mistakes constantly being made.

It’s not but that’s all you need to do against us , then we can keep going back to the centre backs and pass across the half way line again.

onthemarch Posted 17 October, 2017 Share Posted 17 October, 2017 VVD needs to be boo-ed if picked. Fans need to show manager/board they are not happy with the situation. We are far too soft as a club. IF VVD had come back, apologised and was playing well that would be a different matter. But he has publicly stated he has no regrets - and is not performing. Bin him off, let him stew in reserves. Play the future CB's of the club - and keep Stephens involved (on the bench at least) -the guy has done nothing wrong.

Booing and putting him in the reserves benefits literally nobody.I agree that it's wrong to boo him. That just strengthens his campaign: if management think fans are against him, it's more problematic sticking to their guns. But I'm not happy with him. I think he is "doing a Fonte" - going through the motions, not putting in key tackles, ambling when he should be sprinting, probably giving away the odd penalty. So, if it carries on, drop him, and deny him his shop window. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
