Danny Fox has gone his whole career with amateur standard positioning. At least Chambers has the pace to make up for it.
Chambres is doing ok. Has won some headers which is an obvious plus on Clyne and a good delivery for Lambert a la Richardson. Celta are doing well to double up in attack down the left and leaving Calum isolated. I think the factor of having Jay, Adam and Gaston at the same time means we seem to naturally drift to the left. I wonder if punch would give us a greater balance.
Poch, transfer commitee and cortese must trust him as back up or they wudda of brought a rb ala boruc when they were worried about davis
SUBSTITUTIONS FOR SOUTHAMPTON: ON - Boruc, Fonte, Hooiveld, Cork, S. Davis, Ward-Prowse, Puncheon, Do Prado, Mayuka. OFF - K. Davis, Yoshida, Lovren, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Rodriguez, Lallana, Ramirez, Lambert.
Wow, almost a whole team of changes, was hoping we'd only make a couple as was liking the rhythm we were in. Not to mention our 2nd half XI is significantly weaker.
Seems Celta's only change has been at GK, so not a case of 2nd XI's playing each other, interesting to see how our guys shape up.
My understanding of it based on pre-season so far is... DM: Davis & Cork AMs: Puncheon, Ward-Prowse, Do Prado
This is what I would have expected as well, but it looks to me like Cork Ward-Prowse Puncheon Davis Guly
