Gardos starts for me. He was in training last week so he should be fit enough by the weekend, even though Maya did okay yesterday.

I didn't want to drop Davis but playing him on the wing is a bit of a waste, but then I couldn't drop any of the three midfielders for him. If we had another good winger it would be Long instead of Pelle and a proper winger on the wing.

The team and comments above are spot on. I'm a Davis fan too, but at home and against WBA a front three of Tadic, Pelle and Long with Morgan JWP and Wanyama behind the looks great. Tadier off the bench for 30 mins in the second half when we are 2-0 up!

I'd drop Davis as well. Really doesn't offer that much attacking wise. Gaston in for him if fit. If not Long in.

I have said several times; his link up play and little balls round corners is so dangerous around the box. Sometimes it doesn't get seen because he rarely triesto beat a player.

A few people leaving Isgrove out when I though he did ok in his cameo. He needs more time like that to see what he can do. I'd be happy to see him again for the last 15 on Saturday.
 
Having seen Taider play, he's gotta be in there...but yes, the problem is "who for?"

Off the bench for Davis and we lose a bit of midfield mettle.

Bertrand? JWP? Big Vic? Decisions, decisions.

Tadic and Taider. Scousers may have the SAS, but we've got TAT! And if anyone thinks of putting Ward-Prowse in there...

It'd have to be Davis dropped really. He's the weakest of our midfield starters (which is no insult, Victor and Morgan take some beating and JWP has a hell of a future ahead of him) and if Taider is good enough to deserve a spot in the first team then there's no other choice.

I think taider has plenty of mettle. maybe less discipline. He'd at least have stung the hands of the goalie on sunday.

I'm a fan of Davis though, don't get me wrong.

Yep. Sums it up nicely.

Plus we need to get TAT in there somehow :)
 
I think the team that started at Liverpool deserves another crack at it, knowing that we have a decent Plan B on the bench.

I'd have to REALLY disagree with this, there is only one player at the club (JRod) who scored or assisted more goals for us last season than Davis.
 
It's tough managing Saints at the moment, what with the depth of our squad and it's riches of talent. How do you keep all your stars happy?

Oh wait, I have just read the Mirror, strike that. Meltdown!
