Thedelldays Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 (edited) huge game does not describe this surely a win will put us with a few toes (not quite a foot) in the league next year and make it near on impossible for them and arry to survive I watched their game on the internet yesterday and they looked quite good against man united so I reckon this will be a tough game but surely we will be better than what we were against newcastle..we looked rusty puncheon to come back in for me with fonte....please, I hope shaw is fit 3-1 to saints other fixtures for teams in the bottom half... Everton v Reading Man u v Norwich Stoke v West Ham Sunderland v Fulham Swansea v Newcastle Wigan v Liverpool villa v man city this is a massive MASSIVE chance to win and put some day light between us and the bottom 4......as long as most of the expected results go our way Edited 24 February, 2013 by Thedelldays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 Need a massive response and I think we should do it at home. If Taraabt has an off day or our defence keeps him quiet they seem very short of goals and ideas. Fonte in for Hooievld I think if fit. Oh and it's 'arry's first visit to St Mary's since he left to go back to Pompey so, you know... let's make him feel welcome and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

110_Persaint Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 You are joking right? Would love to be mate but on this occasion I'm not. They always say the worst time to play teams down in the bottom is towards the run-in. Think of it from QPR's perspective. It is simply must win for them or they're down. I get Delhurst Park memories when I think of this situation. The more desperate team usually wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 This is Pochettino's big test. His tactics didn't work today and he has decisions to make, players to pick up and motivate. NA's strength was picking the team up after a bad result - rarely two in a row.

Saint Garrett Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 Sure Remy will start and will need to be aware of him. Cracking player. Would start with Puncheon - not sure who should be dropped though. J rod probably. Boruc; Clyne Fonte Yoshi Shaw; Cork Morgan; Punch Davis Lallana; Lambert. Possibly pop Gaston in for Davis as well? We must win this game and definitely must not lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 You have to give gaston chance to shine in this match. It's a game in which intestinal fortitude will be crucial because they are fighting for their lives. And so, in truth, are we. What, exactly, has Ramirez done to suggest that we can rely on him to contribute in that kind of game? Genuine question Roger. I don't really doubt his talent. It's his balls that worry me.

ludgershallsaint Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 Next two games are critical. 6 points v QPR and Norwich and it'll be almost time to get the cigars out.

CanadaSaint Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 Not sure about Punch playing then. There's a difference between sh*tting himself and sh*tting himself. To be fair, Ramirez is willing to go into dangerous situations but his head goes down too easily. There's little sign of the kind of "steel" in his game that I think we'll need next week. On the bench yes, starting line up NFW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggles31 Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 A win and 6 points clear of relegation is my prediction. They cannot defend at all and with an unfit and overrated Samba in defence I hope SRL gives them a nightmare. Swansea smashed them to bits. 4 - 1 win with Lambert x2, Puncheon and JRod. Also after this provided Reading and Villa lose their tough games they both meet when we play Norwich away so another opportunity to shed some daylight. Can't wait for ole Arry to return. Lets make it the worst experience of his twitching life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentsaint Posted 24 February, 2013 Share Posted 24 February, 2013 Boruc Clyne Fonte Yoshida Shaw Cork Schneiderlin Punch Davis Lallana Lambert Davis Jos Forren Jwp Ramirez J rod Mayuka Our vest chance if winning is beating them in the midfield scrap. Ramirez goes missing there and Davis won't. Punch is our most dangerous midfielder and was ur best player up at their place. No fox or Richardson. If Shaw goes off, either Clyne to lb, cork rb, Davis in and Gaston or j rod on, or f he is comfortable forren straight in, remove the temptation of fox as a straight swap. Don't fancy jos v Remy, we look good with fonte and yoshida, hope fonte isn't rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suomi Saint Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 This is a big test for MP and the players. The honeymoon is now over and it's time to grind out a result or two. Tactically, MP is a one trick pony in my opinion, but I hope he proves me wrong. Puncheon must play and so must Davis. Ramirez should be left on the subs bench for this one - I don't trust him, he loses possession far too often. This is going to be a very, very difficult game.

I'm inclined to agree, and this is what worries me, plus he has shouted his tactics to the world. Adkins did at least show show could adapt to deal with the strengths of the opposition and expose their weaknesses. Pretty obvious most teams will now look to play the long ball against us to counter the pressing. How will he react?

ToreSF Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 It's a must win game, and a game we really should be winning. For some reason, I've seen most of QPR's matches since Redknapp came in, and they really are a terrible side. Absolutely no plan going forward, no goal scorers and they rely on Taraabt way to much. It could be a tough challenge to get through their defense, but there should be some space for our attackers as QPR are in desperate need to win and must attack.

Wes Tender Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 I'm inclined to agree, and this is what worries me, plus he has shouted his tactics to the world. Adkins did at least show show could adapt to deal with the strengths of the opposition and expose their weaknesses. Pretty obvious most teams will now look to play the long ball against us to counter the pressing. How will he react? Add me to the list of worriers with the same opinion on this. It is often effective as a tactic employed by teams against the glory teams, where a team without as much skill, but a lot of heart and endeavour will deny the classy play-makers the space to operate and thereby nullify them. Whether it will be effective week in, week out, so that it has become predictable and therefore the better tactitions can counteract it, remains to be seen. Some on here jumped the gun a bit judging Pochettino as being the superior tactition to Adkins. Adkins sometimes had criticism for his substitutions and for not always playing his best players, but that same opinion has some validty in this match too. I reiterate that Adkins left us in 15th position and if we are lower than that at the end of the season, that will be the yardstick for me as to which of them is the better manager.
