J-Rod and Lambert were almost playing as 2 wide strikers that day (I'm assuming we did this to combat their full backs) and Ramirez was in behind then pretty much playing as a CF. it was a shambles and our defence was a mess. Like mentioned....without Clyne/Shaw/Morgan/Cork/Punch, we struggled and rightly so.
If we started any game at this level with Davis and JWP as CM's then we'd lose to anyone.
Oh. Fair enough. I'm going mad I'm sure I wasn't that drunk!!
Rodriguez Ramirez and lambert definitely played as a 3 up top anyway, maybe Lallana played just in front of the midfield two however I remember him playing left.
I'm staying with a uni mate from Manchester, who is a city fan. Only ever time he's seen Southampton was when I took him to that 1-0 at hillsborough, think it was Adkins first game? Or first win anyway.
Think we're in a bit of an 'Arsenal' situation...We're only going to bring in players who are very very good. Pochettino obviously thought Coutinho was, but we're not going to spend money on average players or on short term players.
