So if Tadic is going to play more centrally then a 4-2-3-1 looks probably given our squad. Could look something like this:

Forster
Cedric Virgil Fonte Bertrand
Romeu/Clasie/Pierre/JWP
Redmond Tadic/Davis Jrod
Long

Not bad at all really but so much depends on Jrod's form and fitness

According to the Daily Echo, 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield is being preferred.

From what I saw on Wednesday something like this:

Forster​
Cedric VVD Fonte Bertrand
Romeu​
Clasie Ward-Prowse
Tadic​
Long Redmond​

Probably Hojbjerg to start though. Davis off the bench.

But it morphed to this without the ball at times:

Romeu​
Clasie JWP​
Long...................................Redmond
Tadic​

Interestingly, the U23's lined up in 4-2-3-1 the other night. If Puel is going to have more of an input into the Academy than RK did, and the Academy teams are going to play the same formation as the first team, and the first team is going to be 4-diamond-2, something hasn't happened yet.

I didn't see anything of the Espanyol match, but it appears you saw the same game as the Echo.

I would certainly hope that the Academy plays the preferred club way, whatever that turns out to be.

Much prefer 4231 to Diamond :(

Must admit, I like 4231 as well. Never been a great fan of the Diamond formation. Maybe Puel will get Saints to make it look good.

Curious to see what happens there; we have indicated in the past that we gear everything, including our Academy setup and transfers, toward the 4-3-3/4-2-3-1. If the Academy doesn't change, it could suggest that the diamond isn't in the long-term plans.
