A Decade in the PL - Your Squad

Recommended Posts

Pretty simple, this summer marks ten years since promotion. Pick your strongest XI, formation, 9 subs, a manager and 5 more players for your 25 man registered squad. 8 players must be home grown but for the sake of simplicity, we’ll ignore the extra, under 21 squad players rule.

I’m going with 4-2-3-1, managed by Poch.

Boruc

KWP - Virgil - Toby - Bertrand

JWP - Wanyama

Mané - Davis - Tadic

Pellè

Subs: Forster, Lovren, Clyne, Shaw, Romeu, S. Armstrong, Lallana, Gabbiadini, Ings

Squad players: Stekelenburg, Fonte, Morgan, Cork, J Rod

Boruc

KWP - Alderweireld - Van Dijk - Bertrand

Schneiderlin - Wanyama

Mane - Tadic - Lallana

Ings, although my heart says Lambert :(

Manager: Koeman

Worst:

Gunn

Danso - Caulker - Hoedt - Fox

Clasie - Lemina

Boufal - Ramirez - Mayuka

Carillo

Manager: Pellegrino

Picked players who actually played, to avoid Hassen, Taider, Forren and some of the average youth like Jankewitz, who did play and cost us, but not enough to leave a lasting impression. Probably harsh on Boufal, Ramirez and Lemina who showed glimpses, but also had awful, nothing games. Fox got us up, but was out of his depth in the Premier League and we were fortunate Shaw developed as and when he did. Goalkeeper was a toss up between Gunn, Gazzaniga and Davis, but the 9-0 sways it.

Rodriguez pre injury. That's a good shout. Boy was he flying.

Love the username by the way. I will have to accept being his second biggest fan.

He hit a lovely purple patch where he was unstoppable, such pace and power.

FF was none of the above, but something about those gloves and magic feet made me love him!

Manager: Pochettino

Formation - a 433 with 2 CMs + 1 CAM

GK = Forster (2014-2016 form)

RB = KWP (Clyne/Chambers/Cedric the alternatives - KWP the best in my opinion)

CB = Fonte (Alderweireld was the better footballer but Fonte has the leadership so sentimentally, goes into mine) 

CB = VVD (sold for £75m, enough said)

LB = Bertrand (a servant for 7 years, made team of the season too at one point)

CM = JWP - obvious choice as our captain/academy boy/free kicks

CM = Davis - the underrated underrated player, was crucial to our link-up 

CAM = Tadic - managed 47 goal contributions in 4 seasons

RW = Mane - I've put him in more for what he has done with Pool to be honest but two 10+ PL goals is huge, no one else since has come close from our wingers

 LW= Jay-Rod - 15 PL goals in 33 appearances, no one else other than Ings topped that, and from left wing too! He was so good in 2013-14.

ST = Ings - 22 PL goals in one season means he will always be in it even if I prefer Lambert

Having said that, I do think this team is lacking the balance a Schneiderlin/Wanyama/Romeu would bring

Not sure if my memory deceives, but Schneiderlin’s one of the first I think of when a Saints best 11 is said. I thought he was a star, and was going on to be world class when he made the move, that didn’t work out for him. He has the League 1 to the Europa League journey to add a bit of sentiment too, so surprised a few have left him out for Wanyama, who couldn’t pass over 2 yards, let alone the crossfields Schneiderlin was known for.

4-2-3-1....

Picking a 25 man squad. Sure I've missed a few but this is my squad off the bat. very tough to leave Davis out the first XI given how important he was for us, but I'd have Lallana over him in that position.

--------------Forster---------------

KWP----Alderweireld----VVD----Bertrand

-------Schneiderlin-Wanyama----------

Mane----------Lallana--------Rodriguez

----------------Ings----------------

Subs/Reserves:

Boruc, Macca, 
Lovren, Fonte, Shaw, Clyne
Davis, JWP, Romeu, Tadic, Armstrong
Pelle, Lambert, Gabbiadini
