LuckyNumber7 Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 3 at the back....stephens and yoshida start, Heodt, Boufal on the bench I guess that pust JwP as right wing back....or 4 at the back with stephens at RB???? Forster at RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 10 December, 2017 Author Share Posted 10 December, 2017 The Lemina decision is very poor, if he's not got a knock. agree there. easily our best CM (and player) and should be played all the time.......assuming he is fit, which is a fair assumption to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint77 Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 What the hell is that team? No Lemina again is just odd and bringing Stephens into the team having not even been in the squad?! Baffling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 Why three at the back? Who's playing right wingback? JWP? Could it be a back 4 with Yoshida at RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 How can you start Ward-Prowse in front of Lemina or Boufal in such an important game? What form line or performance this season justifies JWP starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 No Long. Not even as sub. Lemina on the bench? Long tends to do well against Arsenal - the goals they conceded last week against United were again evidence that their CBs don't like being put under pressure or pace.

Are we really still in a place where we need to play players out of position [/quote'] Yeah, I am hoping that Pellegrino has identified specific weaknesses (or strengths) of Arsenal and picked a team accordingly, though I’m not sure in what circumstances that would involve leaving out Lemina... If it goes wrong today that line up certainly tees up criticism though. And he better play Redmond left and Tadic right, that would demonstrate he hasn’t learnt.

James Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 Can only assume Pell thinks we will lose today and that we are saving our best for Leicester on Wednesday. Still, we basically rested Lemina on Sunday as well and (IMO) that cost us. If we lose badly today with that line up then MP better pray for a result against Leicester as if we don’t get one this will have been a ridiculous move.

At least he's playing what I think is our best formation. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk Honestly don’t think MP has a clue. Was hoping for him to come good after Everton and then a good performance against City but two poor sets of selection v Bournemouth and now today have made me doubt him seriously again. Large plate of humble pie waiting if we get a result but could see a 3/4-0 defeat now. Redmond must have some dirt on Les Reed to keep being picked after playing so consistently poorly.

trousers Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 (edited) Greetings from St Mary's Has to be said, that's a fairly perplexing line up. Either Pied is Cedric's understudy or he isn't. Why shuffle he defence more than you need to just because one player is injured? And the absence of Lemina is a bit of a mystery. The only logical explanation is that he's still not 100% fit after his injury so we're eating him back into the squad....? Oh well, it's 11 v 11 so you never know....

austsaint Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 Where is the consistency in selection? Pied had a good game filling in for Cedric and is dropped. Ward-Prowse had an abysmal half against Bournmouth and is re-instated; Boufal has been an improving attacking spark, and is left out. Redmond and Tadic who have been so patchy continue to be picked. A class attacking player like Gabbiadini can't get a look in. It's just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmike25 Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 Dunno what is up with the line up, more worrying is seeing Tadic and Redmond ahead of Boufal. JWP has had chances to make an impact and simply isn't, other than his excellent set pieces he offers very little and when you have a player like Bertrand who can also hit nice set pieces his inclusion doesn't add much. Romeu and Holberg is a decent pairing, but only one of them needs to sit, i'd like to see Hol go further up and become more of a box-to-box midfielder. Looks like our game plan is very much centre'd on scoring from set pieces and hitting Arsenal on the break, i think Pellegrino thinks Boufal is likely to make mistakes or slow us down, but Redmond is FAR worse for that.

Dr. Kucho Posted 10 December, 2017 Share Posted 10 December, 2017 Peter Bosz has just been relieved from his duties at Borussia Dortmund. Now that’s a manager that I think could do very well here. (Sorry to bang on about him being a good replacement, sound like Dalek and his obsession with Hoddle). Let’s hope we can get a result today, however odd the line up looks.
