Saint Garrett Posted 10 August, 2012 Share Posted 10 August, 2012 This is the squad that Udinese have brought with them. Be nice to get a win before City for confidence more than anything. Goalkeepers: Brkic, Pawlowski, Romo. Defenders: Gabriel Silva, Armero, Basta, Benatia, Coda, Domizzi, Heurtaux, Danilo, Pereyra, Neuton. Midfielders: Willians, Battocchio, Faraoni, Allan, Pinzi. Forwards: Fabbrini, Di Natale, Maicosuel, Muriel, Zielinski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on potential attendance tonight as its been a bit cack in an empty stadium! I would do the same and also not convinced about Lallana in the hole or JRod on the left. Only difference is I would swap Lambert and JRod around - that way we have more pace up top to support breaks and SRL is great at holding up the ball and playing others in. Personally I feel this may be Rickies best position long term as he can dictate play and score goals without exposing his lack of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 11 August, 2012 Share Posted 11 August, 2012 (edited) I really hope that's not the team v City. Why? In terms of what we currently have, today's side is Adkins 1st choice and will use the system I posted in #21. The only difference would be Davis instead of Ward-Prowse, Guly Do Prado maybe instead of Puncheon and any new signings.

Lighthouse Posted 11 August, 2012 Share Posted 11 August, 2012 I much prefer the 4-2-3-1 system personally and I think it suits our players much better. Davis and Morgan holding in midfield, Puncheon/Guly, Lambert and Lallana in front of them and Rodriguez leading the line. Morgan - Davis Guly - Lambert - Lallana Rodriguez The 4-3-3- system doesn't suit Lallana playing deep in the middle, or Rodriguez wide left IMO.

Morgan - Davis Guly - Lambert - Lallana Rodriguez The 4-3-3- system doesn't suit Lallana playing deep in the middle, or Rodriguez wide left IMO. The 4-3-3 can quickly switch to a 4-2-3-1. All it takes is for Schneiderlin and Lallana to push further forwards. They have even done that during this pre-season. Adkins likes to make a number of quick switches during games and the midfield and forwards often rotate. Although Rodriguez isn't a natural wide man they will be looking for him and Puncheon to cut inside on their stronger foot and Fox and Clyne to provide the width with Schneiderlin dropping deep to cover them.

Sort it out next season. Does it? Add up all the attendances from Ajax, Udinese, Wolves and Arsenal/Anderlecht and it is quite a healthy number for pre-season home attendances. Does it matter it is over a number of games, as it is very rare for Saints to have more than one pre-season friendly and most people won't want to goto more than one?
