Bring back four Saints players and a manager to save our season.

I'm another that would include players from the modern day as fitness is key. However it's a tricky question as there are so many from the past few years I'd prefer to the current lot, so I pick our better players and fit the others in around it. In the end I sacrificed Lallana for Wanyama for some extra midfield shield.

 

Manager: Koeman, finished higher than anyone including Pochettino.

 

GK: McCarthy. Had we still been playing Forster I'd have been tempted to bring in someone for this position but Alex seems to be doing ok.

 

RB: Cedric. Clyne the obvious replacement but need players elsewhere.

CB: VVD. Pre-tantrum.

CB: Hoedt. Again could have chosen Alderweireld or Fonte or even Lovren but need more attacking replacements.

LB: Bertrand. Luke Shaw is tempting but Bertrand good enough.

 

DM: Lemina. Class.

DM: Wanyama. Beast.

 

RW: Mané. X-Factor.

AM: Boufal. Creativity.

LW: Tadic. Preferably Tadic when he signed.

 

Str: Pellé. Height, holding ball up and could score. Tempted to have Lambert...

No need for four. Give me Le Tiss and all will be well

The Alan Ball approach - a GK, Le Tiss, and 9 players to do the running round.

 

.............................

 

McCarthy, Cedric, Killer, Yoshida, Bertrand, Wanyama, Lemina, Le Tissier, Tadic, Mane, Gabbiadini ( as he was when he started ).

 

Potch to manage.

2 things shaping my opinion, one I also agree with the modern player being fitter.

 

And two, I'm not necessarily going for my favourite players, but players in the positions where I think we're weakest, so while clyne is better than Cedrick, and Morgan better than Romeu, I think our biggest issues are at centre back, centre forward and attacking midfield. I'd therefore choose svensson, le tiss, mane and shearer.

 

Something like

McCarthy

Cedric killer hoedt Bertrand

Lamina Romeu

Mane le tiss tadic

Shearer

Manager would be a hard call between Strachan Koeman and Pochettino

 

Team would be

------------McCarthy------------

Cedric-Stephens-Toby-Bertrand

------------Romeu------------

------Hojberg-Lemina--------

Le Tiss-----------------Mane

----------Lambert-----------
