give me your starting line up for southampton for the first league game please.....
Stekelenburg
Cédric Fonte Yoshida Targett
Wanayama Davies
Tadic Mane Rodriguez
Pelle
Classie is injured and will miss the first game at least. Question is do you drop Davies back from the front 3 or trust one of James Ward Prowse or Harrison Reed to fill that role. I suspect they will drop Davies back deeper.
That leaves a few competing for that left wing spot. Realistically, for me, it is J-Rod v Long. Will likely depend on European minutes the Thursday before.
Longer term - Bertrand replaces Targett. Another CB replaces Yoshida - maybe Caulker or another signing. Classie returns and Davies plays left wing.
Very excited by Tadic, Mane, Pelle this season. Think that first team is a very strong one.
