    I did walk out of one of those European English Sky Sports bars early. Partly because there was never any risk of us scoring a goal. But also because they are the worst places on the planet.

    Might actually get to watch part of this; the football gods appear to have nuked our servers at work so as to give me sweet **** all that I can do this afternoon.

    3-5-2? Or Yoshida/caulker at right back. Intriguing either way

    I'm suspecting 3-5-2 because otherwise why have both Cedric and Martina on the bench? But then who plays right wing-back?

    It's Saints, Jim, but not as we know it...

    You'd think Yoshida will play RB as he has done a number of times for us. Can see why Koeman went with that back four, much more height and physicality to deal with what they have to offer aerially.

    Looks like Yoshida at right back to me. I wanted him at left back instead of Targett. But looks like Koeman thinks Cedric is the weaker of the two full backs. PAs far as I know Caulker only plays centre back. No one can play right wing back in the line up, so it can't be three at the back.

    I'm expecting this:

    ---------------Stek
    Yoshida-Fonte-Caulker-Targett
    ------Wanyama-Romeu
    -Mane---Ward-Prowse--Rodriguez
    -------------Pelle

    I didn't take Tadic out the template, my bad <laugh>

    Can't believe we're risking Mane; there's £20m to be had there.

    seems obvious to me - Pelle and J-Rod wing backs with Targett up front with JWP!

    Yeah, Cedric is small and weak. But he is fast, and really dangerous going forward, compared to Targett, Yoshida and Martina.

    Tadic is on the bench so I believe you mean Jay Rod.

    Cedric may be on bench as had head injury against Newcastle.
