Take out the chalkboard again

#4 - Claude Puel needs to rethink

When you have a goal scoring centre-forward in your tea, you have to play him in his best position. Claude Puel is playing Charlie Austin on the left wing instead with Nathan Redmond playing up front.

Redmond is very good as a centre-forward too but switching the position with Austin would do both the players wonders and also benefit the Saints a lot. Tadic is not able to pick out Redmond in the middle because of his height and that's one more thing that Austin can provide.

Ward-Prowse and Boufal should be starting more often for the Saints from now on with Clasie and maybe, Redmond making the way. Bringing in Boufal is the most important thing right now but fitting him would be the most difficult one.
