    Only change I would like to have seen is maybe McCarthy in for Fraser.

    Surprised that Pierre doesn't start when lemina is injured. Davis isn't any good at DMS unless he actually plays ahead of romeu then it makes more sense

    Great to see Wesley and Boufal starting. Not sure how happy I am to see Davis AND JWP in the same team, and I worry that reverting back to one up front might leave Gabbi once again detached. But I'm confident.

    Assuming that Charlie is fit, selecting two CBs on the bench over him is very telling.

    Great selection I think. Of course it may not work and we may end up looking poor but I won’t be complaining about the side he’s gone for

    if this is Ward Prowse on the right and Tadic on the left with Boufal coming into the box to get on the end of a barrage of crosses then its the formation i ve been wanting since the start of the season, but i didn't think i'd see it under Pellegrino. i'm suddenly really excited.

    Edit: It might be Prowse as an AM, Tadic as an RM and Boufal as LM in which case my excitement is gone

    Interesting team...

    Hoedt and Virgil starting together for the first time, glad Boufal has been given a start too. Not sure about all 3 of Davis, JWP and Romeu though but we'll see.

    On train to ground now.


    UP THE ****ING SAINTS!!

    The more I look at that team the more I like it. Can get 21/10 for Gabbiadini to score anytime which looks decent aswell.

    Liking the line up.

    Disappointed that Yoshie has been rested as he has had an excellent start to the season and not happy with Davis in as DM, he isn't that good playing there and is better played further up the pitch
    Pleased that Boufal has been given a chance and just hope he plays no10 where he gets more ball and hasn't got so many defensive duties as he has on the wings.
    Has Tadic got something on MP? The only explanation as to why gets picked every week without contributing much in the games

    If it is Davis as DM and JWP on the right I think it will be pretty effective.

    Claude being interviewed live. He’s not got more interesting.

    I hope Sofiane is playing up near Gabbi, though I doubt he will be.

    Murray’s main threat is aerial and I don’t think he’ll get much change at all from those two. Gross is a clever player at ten, but main threat will likely be the pace of Izquadero and the Tadic-like trickery of Knockaert.

    Good test this.

    So while we were all explaining why he didn't pick certain people, he secretly picked them. :) Interesting side...just shows what one absentee can do....can't replace like for like, so has to shuffle the squad.

    Or he has seen what the fans want and thinks I'll show the bastards what happens when I listen to them. :)
