Thought I'd throw this out there. Can anyone tell me what's the most interesting thing about this starting 11 and three subs? You'll know when you've got it. I thought it was pretty interesting but it may upset some people.
1. Boruc (Gazzaniga)
2. Yoshida
3. Lovren
4. Fonte (Hoiveld)
5. Fox
6. Wanyama
7. Schneiderlin
8. S. Davis
9. Ramirez (Do Prado)
10. Mayuka
11. Osvaldo
Aussie Saint II
We can field a team with no English players? That's not very interesting though so it can't be that.
No english players?
1. Davis
2. Chambers
3. Shaw
4. Martin
5. Stephens
6. Cork
7. Ward-Prowse
8. Isgrove
9. Rodriguez
10. Lallana
11. Lambert
?
All of them except for do prado and gazzaniga are goo players
No English?
Ummm no English player, won't happen so don't worry
No English players in line-up
Davis and Fox are British though, and Yoshida is not a proper right back, both our right backs are English. Also what is wrong with having Foreign players? We have got such great English talent already we can balance things out a bit with more foreign styles as well in the side. I mean Ward-Prowse, Shaw and Chambers are all young English players brought through our youth system who make the main side anyway.
1. Fonte will not make the once yoshis back
2. Fox won't make the team
3. S. Davis is a sub
4. Mayuka is a sub (at best)
5. Gazzaniga is 3rd choice after K. Davis
6. If Fonte is a sub hooiveld won't make the team
7. Guly is not even a sub.
What you have done is thought up a team with as many foreigners in as possible to support your point. We have at least 5-6 Englishmen in the first XI lambert clyne shaw wardprowse lallana jrod and another 3 on the bench K. Davis Cork S. Davis. Point made.
Isgrove is not English!
That 2nd team sheet trying to put all English players in has got it slightly wrong. Isgrove is welsh. Didn't we release Martin?
Isgrove is Welsh, but was born in Yeovil.
We could swap Martin for Clyne. Nath might struggle at CB, though?
English teamsheet
K Davis
Clyne
Stephens
Turnbull (arguable but they did both play pre season)
Shaw
Cork
Ward-Prowse
Chambers (originally a right mid anyway)
Lallana
Rodriguez
Lambert
That side is not including the youth who represented us against Barnsley who all could count as well. We have got plenty of English talent around the club we do not need to worry.
Yeah only if Lambert was replaced by Mayuka and Shaw and clyne was not bye far are best left and right backs
Adam lallana didn't consistently start
with j rod
5 out of 11
without mentioning, j w p or cork
Southampton named eight English players in their squad on the opening day the fact that four came from the academy was a bonus.
