    Forster

    Cedric - Van Dijk - Hoedt - Bertrand

    Hojbjerg - Romeu - Lemina

    Tadic - Gabbiadini - Boufal

    That's our best 11, we should get in the habit of playing them together. Austin will get marked out of the game against Chelsea's back three and he doesn't offer great (much) movement. Gabbiadini will have more luck against them IMO.

    I would play the team that put in the best performance of the season against Everton.

    I would go 4-4-2

    Forster
    Cedric VVD Yoshi Bertrand
    Jwp Hojb lemina boufal
    Austin gabbiadini

    Plenty of fight in that team. We can't keep clean sheets so may as well go for a goal or two, put some faith in the lads and give gabbiadini a reason to live.

    Please don't drop Austin he's the only striker we've got that is likely to score and we certainly can't rely on our defence at the moment to keep a clean sheet.

    If we play Romeu & Lemina, then IMO Hojbjerg has to play. Not really sure what the problem is but Romeu looks lost at moment & without Hojberg's industry, I think it'll be a mess. Anyway, Arsenal MOM must be well "rested" by now! <doh>

    I think Romeu thrives in a lone defensive midfield role, last season he played in the diamond and alongside Davis who isn't a DM. I think he might struggle with a DM partner so to speak.

    I haven`t a clue which Saints are going to show up - at it, or not at it - or what team he`ll select. He seems to guess, and hope it comes off. We certainly can`t afford Tadic and Boufal in the same team, IMO. I`d go three at the back again, and PEH for Davis.

    All wins are a bit of a shock, look what the win against Everton did to us all.

    Yeah, I'd like to see Hojberg start alongside Lemina. I don't actually think Romeu has been that bad this season, but Pierre has done enough when given the opportunity, to merit a start ahead of him.

    Just for interest, why do you think we can’t afford both Tadic and Boufal in the same team?
