I like it ignoring the lack of Gabbi to start which seems to be a given. PEH and Lemina, both solid and in form. The former needs to be played more though. Need JWP on the pitch - gives it everything and for his deadball capability. Redmond to continue improving. Tadic to cross for a Carillo goal today.
 
One of Tadic and Redmond - ideally the latter, due to being faster - needs to be a whole lot closer to Carrillo than last week. Carrillo showed he can flick it on (ala Lukaku earlier today), he just needs someone running off him. It took us far too long to get someone (Sims) doing it last week.
 
I'd have to liked to have seen Gabbi or Boufal in for Redmond but pleased Pierre is in for Romeu.

Like Brendy says Redmond needs to be as close to Carillo as possible.

I'll be relying on you lovely lot for updates here... Come on Saints!
 
They haven't been dropped as such though have they? Just not given a start.
 
Sims played well and Gabbi the game before and not playing 4-4-2. Always the same ****
And JWP. Bad management, but we knew that already. Reward for playing well is getting dropped. Confidence sapping idiot and a result today wont change that.
 
I'm just hoping Pellegrino has learned from recent games that Carrillo needs support, leaving him isolated on his own up front doesn't work.
Pretty happy with the starting 11 with the exception being Gabbi not playing alongside Carrillo.
Would prefer a different formation that what I expect us to play but then Pellegrino has shown that that's not going to happen.
