I would like to see Mawson come in to replace Fernandez, i think it's a gamble worth taking, i also think the midfield lacks energy, maybe a freshen up with Leon coming in for Cork, Llorente is feeding off next to nothing so i'd be inclined to have the option of Dyer on the bench to come on and play as a striker for the last 20 mins if we're chasing it.
Will we go ultra defensive or go for it? Southampton are lacking a bit of confidence so IMO we should look to frustrate early on and prepare to play on the counter, we need pace back in the team though thats for sure.

Team I'd like to see: 4231 fab, naught, mawson, Amat, Kingsley, britts, Fer, siggy, Montero, barrow, Baston/Llorente.
Team I think is more likely 442 diamond: fab, naught, Fede, Amat, Kingsley, cork, Ki, Fer, siggy, barrow, Llorente. |  | | |

Given the current personnel we have, we may be best of with the diamond. Set up for the Southampton game as we were in the second half, maybe. |  |

I'd play the diamond you mention, ideally with one of the other centre backs tried instead of FF and with Britton instead of Cork. Like Barrow up front, and obviously Baston if he is ever fit. | | | |

I actually don't mind the diamond. It allows enough cover for the defence and at the same time allows both siggy and Fer to operate in attacking spaces, with Fer having less defensive duties and a bit more license to roam. Can be easily changed to a 4231 at times during the match with siggy and barrow going out wide like yesterday. My only issue is the fullbacks, they need to be as good going forward as they are going back for it to work well, naughton has the ability he just needs to have confidence in himself, shys away too often for me. | | | |

Our main problem with the diamond previously was no pace on the counter attack. That's why you need pacey strikers for it, Barrow fits the bill. |  | | |

I think Naughton's been a lot better this season - agree with you about confidence.
He and Kingsley are at least athletic enough to get up and down, and I quite like the diamond as well - particularly with Barrow up front giving us an outlet all the time. | | | |

If Baston is fit, what do people think will happen on the weekend, will he start and go off after a bit, or will he come on late for 20, or will he play for 90? |  | | |

Nothing, except swap the extra man in midfield (Ki) for Montero to get some width and balance back. I'd probably start with Tayls too. There, I've said it. Won't be popular on her given he's the current scapegoat. But there's very little between them - Kingsley could easily have been the one coming off yesterday as he had a very quiet first 40 mins.
Montero and Barrow can cause problems for anyone in this league, so let's use them. |  | | |

Montero and Barrow will cause more problems for us than anyone else if we start them together regularly. If we go down the 'you score 3 we'll score 4' route, we will lose more than we win. As Jasper often says, neither of them can play without the ball.
One of them needs to start, the other needs to be there as an impact sub. If we are chasing a goal with 20 minutes left, then I'm all for it.

Some people were excited when we got Kyle Bartley from Arsenal.
Lets see him play first is it, before setting him up as the new combintion of John Terry and Tony Adams. |
Have followed Mawson's career for the past 2 seasons am confident he will step up to the PL,the question is when. | | | |

Kingsley has done very well for the first team since making his debut and looks to have a bright future, but how did he do in the 2-0 loss to Hull, the 2-1 loss to Leicester and being part of a backline that let 2 in against Chelsea ?
Taylor had a very good Euro's and kept a clean sheet against Moldova and now seems to be back up to speed after his late summer break due to the Euro's.
Who will Guido pick at left back if its a flat back 4 against Soton next week ? |
Taylor wasn't "defending" against Moldova, it was Davies, Taylor did very little defending as he spent most of his time up field, so the clean sheet was little to do with him. | | | |

Well if we start with Ki again we might as well just start with 10 men. Jack and Fer in a midfield four with Mo and Jeff and a flat back four. Gylfi and Llorente up top. Anything else is stupid. |  |

442 with Montero and Barrow playing and Gylfi up front. And anything else is stupid?
We would get overrun in midfield by lower league teams | | | |

Doubt he will change much. Although made errors, that Chelsea team were top notch.
Mawson will probably be seen for league cup game against city | | | |

I'd love to see Montero try playing at wingback. |
I think the only one of our wingers I'd trust as a wingback is Dyer because he's got far more defensive awareness than any of the others. Not suggesting we use him on Sunday, just an observation. It could be something that extends his career too if he adapts to it. |  | | |

This thread is exactly what is wrong with the club and all of us associated with us!
The only change(s) you make for Southampton are the pubs you visit
Fugh me all this 4-2-3-1, wing backs etc etc
fugh me Brekkie in the Uplands , Bryn for a quick quiet lock in mini bus couple of stop offs and then a pub just outside Saintland and sing the lads home
we have all become spoilt and precious |  |

Kingsley adds another dimension to the attack, whereas Taylor adds nothing at all.
If Montero is surrounded by their defence he knows he can send the ball back to Kingsley who can put in a cracking cross, unlike Taylor. | | | |

If you are going to play with Montero, it makes sense to put Taylor behind him. Kingsley won't be able to overlap him and will get exposed, especially when he goes forward.
If Montero isn't starting, I'd keep Kingsley in the team. Overall I think he has done pretty well this season. | | | |
