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

[SNSUN]

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...

Manager - Alan Ball

 

Players -

 

Le Tissier

Wright

Shilton

Williams

 

great thread.

No need for four. Give me Le Tiss and all will be well (as long as the manager doesn't do a Branfoot)

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.

I'd go with Pochettino as manager. Seemed to really get the squad to buy in to his methods and tactics and appears to be doing the same at Spurs.

 

Players would be Niemi, Alderweireld, Lallana and Mane.

[danjosaint]

Pochettino for me along with Alderweireld, Wanyama, Le Tissier and Lambert would have gone for Niemi but McCarthy is doing well at the moment

[Chewy]

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

[Chewy]

Oh, and poch as manager

[Badger]

Pochettino for me along with Alderweireld, Wanyama, Le Tissier and Lambert would have gone for Niemi but McCarthy is doing well at the moment

 

Would MLT cope with Poch's rigorous training regime/would Poch cope with MLT's fitness levels?

But just imagine how good MLT would have been with the fitness of a Poch trained player.

[Ultimatt]

VVD

Mane

Wanyama

Pelle

 

Puel

 

Easy top 6

Poch as manager

[norwaysaint]

I honestly think that most managers, including Porch, would leave the promising 18 year old left back Gareth Bale, with only championship experience, on the bench in favour of England international Ryan Bertrand.

[Saint IQ]

Haven't looked at anyone else's

 

Mane Lambert Le Tissier and Alderweireld

 

Only picked ones I have actually watched regularly so mid 90s onwards.

 

We'd win over half the games left with those 4

 

Great Thread

[Saint IQ]

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-----------
