Saint Matty 76

Can't see him leaving it past the 60th minute to get Long on, think it'll be Tadic sacrificed as he's been sadly pretty poor again.

Don't like how we're lining up for the 2nd half, way too negative and it'll be one way traffic if we keep it like it is. Alderweireld - Fonte - Gardos - Bertrand Tadic - Reed - Wanyama - JWP Davis Pelle Would take JWP off for Long and go back to two up top which they were clearly struggling with, Gardos has had a great half.

Not an unbelievable save, awful miss. Main reason I still don't want JWP in our side when Davis is, neither of them are good enough in the box.

Coquelin - Chambers as their holding midfield two. JWP/Tadic getting in behind them and feeding Mane/Pelle is going to be key today, really weak midfield that.

Should've been Fabregas over Morgan, but Clyne over Ivanovic.

Back to the 3-5-2 for me; Forster Gardos/Yoshi - Alderweireld - Fonte Clyne - Wanyama - Davis - Bertrand JWP Pelle - Mane/Long

Forster Yoshida - Gardos - Alderweireld Clyne - JWP - Schneiderlin - Davis - Bertrand Mane - Pelle 3-5-2 again.

Mane can't be any worse up top than he has been on the wing, hopefully he does well.

Distin has been pretty dreadful this year, wouldn't surprise me to see us put a lot of balls in to put pressure on the two of them. Coleman also isn't the best defensively, same goes for Baines really.

Christ, forgot about that.

Let's just hope JWP and Pelle can link up well, his crossing ability is something we're lacking severely and Pelle will dominate most CBs in the air.

Well then, who else is a bit surprised by this?

We're never going to be a top 6 side if we have players like Mayuka or Isgrove even getting close to making the bench.

Guess work, but.. 1) Tadic 2) Pelle 3) Davis 4) Long 5) Schneiderlin Maybe?

Next team; Forster Clyne - Fonte - Yoshida - Bertrand Schneiderlin - Davis - Wanyama Tadic - Pelle - Long Subs: Boruc, Gardos, Alderwield, Cork, JWP, Reed, Mane, Long Best team (assumption); Forster Clyne - Alderwield - Fonte - Bertrand Schneiderlin - Tadic - Wanyama Rodriguez - Pelle - Mane Subs: Boruc, Gardos, Targett, Cork, JWP, Davis, Long I hope we can get Tadic working as a No.10 like Twente did, although he's effective on the wing as well. It'll be tough to accommodate everyone to be honest, but it's a happy problem to have.

@HLNinEngeland Next Belgian transfer will be confirmed soon: Toby Alderweireld on loan to Southampton. #saintsfc

Last one I promise! http://live.drakulastream.eu/static/popups/2355951429369610.html Same as the other, just better quality in case you're a bit picky.

Actually, there's some weird foreign guy speaking over the top of that one, go for this instead. http://www.wiz1.net/channel10 One or two seconds behind the other, but much less irritable.

Davis Clyne - Fonte - Gardos - Bertrand Taider - Cork - Davis Isgrove - Pelle - Long Get the back 4 working together and get Long on Pelle's wavelength.

Squawka Football ‏@Squawka 9m Like aerial duel stats? Saints forward Graziano Pellè has won more (15) than any other Premier League player so far.

Hurry up and bring Long on, he could change the game playing in behind.
