I severely doubt we were the only ones spying last season. And I doubt it occuring under Tonda is the first time it's been done by Saints. Difference is we got caught doing it in the build-up to the richest game in football, and Steve Gibson is an "entrepreneur" who knows how to pull strings (and SR are a bunch of amateurs). I dunno, I think we just need some perspective. Hope Middlesbrough get smashed to bits and relegated next season.

JWP deserves better than West Ham.

Going to guess the ins are likely going to be on this level (which I wouldn't mind tbh): Lallana KWP Ntcham If Bournemouth go down that Brooks guy might be worth a look at? (if some money is found down the back of a sofa)

McCarthy Valery Danso Yoshida Vokins Redmond Stephens (as CDM) Hojbjerg Boufal Long Ings Bench Gunn Bednarek Cedric JWP Slattery Adams Obafemi Sell the rest (apart from Djenepo). Not hopeful of much.

------------------------Gunn------------------------ -------Bednarek-----Yoshida---Vestergaard------ Valery--------Romeu------Hojbjerg------Bertrand --------------------Redmond----------------------- --------------Long------------Adams--------------- McCarthy Stephens Cedric JWP Djenepo Boufal Obafemi Maybe stick Ings in there somewhere but I think Long would be a better bet at getting a goal on a counterattack (and when Long gets tired sub Obafemi on). Doubt Danso will be integrated enough for this game.

Forster Cedric Fonte VvD Bertrand Romeu Davis Sims Tadic Boufal Austin I'd just like to see what that team in that formation could do.

"Puel, you have been summoned by the board" (I hope).

Change of formation required. And this possession based play with silly amounts of back-passing needs to stop - it's ugly to watch and gets us nowhere. I'd go with -------------Forster------------- Cedric---Fonte---VvD---Targett -------Hojbjerg----Davis------- ---Redmond---Tadic---J-Rod--- --------------Austin------------- Bench: McA, Pied, Yoshida/Bertrand, JWP, Romeu/Reed, Clasie, Long

So, skipping half of the comments on this thread, can we speculate that Guan is on about Boetius and AR-10 is on about Boufal?
