Scoring a goal

How do you know this? Can you define your use of 'in for him'?

Our points per game average under Hasenhuttl would have us in 11th last season over a 38 game season. With a full pre-season and additions of Adams, Djenepro and hopefully a couple of others we should be some distance away from mere survival.

I can! True, but does that have any impact on what Gunn does in a game? Do you know for certain the club is looking to sell Cedric? So what? If Hasenhuttl thinks Vokins is ready, then why not trust his judgement? A new centre back would be useful, and Hasenhuttl appears confident we'll be making further signings. Lets see what happens in the next two weeks. We have more than two who can play there... Hojbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Slattery, Smallbone and Armstrong

Not if we play 4222 and he remains 4th/5th choice behind Bednarek, Vestergaard, Yoshida and possibly Hoedt.

Why weren't those 'proper ones'?

It'll be the 3rd friendly this summer at De Kuip... vs Panathinaikos on 17th July vs Angers on 24th July

There is a free to play PC demo of FM 2019 on Steam give it a try and decide and I'd guess the full game will be heavily reduced in price in any upcoming Steam sales. FM 2020 won't be out until circa October/November

Not entirely fair... Lemina played in all 14 of Mark Hughes shambles of league games and was injured for a lot of Hasenhuttl's turnaround of the season.

Why Scott Sinclair?

Juliet?

Probably team bonding in a different environment

Why have you decided to ignore many 1st team players are not in the squad because pre-season is about building fitness for the entire squad including youngsters. Saints have a game in Macau in a few days, some of those missing will be travellingvfircthat and many if not all from today won't fly to Macau.

Fonte is a key part of a Lille side that came 2nd last season and in the Champions League!

'No pace at the back' Valery and Bertrand are not slow and I'm not including a centre back who hasn't signed. 'ill-disciplined midfield' Not sure why you think that. '4 forwards' What is wrong with 4 attacking players in a team of 11 players? If I listed them in a 442 with Redmond and Djenepro as wingers would that make a difference?

Targett, Gallagher and who else?

Why not?

A front four of Redmond, Djenepro, Ings & Adams would be interesting to see using the style. Gunn Valery Bednarek Vestergaard Bertrand Ward-Prowse Hojbjerg Redmond Djenepro Ings Adams

That is how Hasenhuttl's 4222 system worked at RB Leipzig. You go direct to the quick strikers, if they get it great, if they don't then the opponent is on the back foot trying to deal with it and stretched out of position and you counter press high up the pitch. Hard to do with Elyounoussi... as he is ****!

Saints have just Everton's chief scout Martyn Glover...!

On what grounds could they legally stop paying him? Being daft on social media doesn't hold up well if challenged.

It may be reused footage.

Harrison Reed was not named in the 26 man squad on Monday. But looks like he is there now...
