red&white56 Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 I was looking forward to seeing how well we'd fare tomorrow but with all of our injuries I feel we need to focus on going for a narrow win. Keep them out, score on the break! 1-0 Saints J-Rod to get the goal and to become a Saints Hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 Kompany will be assessed to see whether he can play 2 games in 3 days. Nastasic is injured so most likely Kompany will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Red Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 Can't help but feel we'll get tonked unfortunately... And I'm usually one of the more positive types. No Boruc, Clyne, Morgan or Wanyama = leaky defence. Lovren can't stop them all by himself ref: Villa. If we get anything, I'll be one happy man.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 Can't say I'm looking forward to this one. Not actually that bothered I'll be on a flight so unable to watch. City are amazing at home, and we have half our team out injured. Can't see anything other than a tonking to be honest. I miss us being good.

blair3 Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 We were always going to struggle if we had injuries to key players as we don’t have a load of spare internationals to bring in. It is unfortunate that we have so many injuries at once but let’s not rubbish what we have left on the back of away losses to the top two teams in the country and a freak loss to Aston Villa. I have complete confidence in Chambers doing a good job a right back and Jos and Yoshi did well for us at the end of last season. City are bad away from home so I can see a 2 all draw. Also Matt Target being tipped for the bench, is he now ahead of Fox as Shaw’s back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek2003 Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 This is not as important a game as the Villa game was. We need to grind out a few wins and get beyond the 44 point mark to ensure next season we play in the Premier League. Tomorrow is about keeping the defeat respectable.

mulletsaint Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 Been in hiding since the Villa game not wanting to know the extent of all the injuries. Finally checked the BBC tonight and it just ain't pretty. Can't believe we have this many bad knocks all at the same time. God knows how long Wanyama will be out with a hairline fracture. Even with City's recent form I was hopeful of an upset, partially due to their flaky away form, but with no Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Clyne or Boruc and Fonte doubtful? I fear a big loss TBH.

110_Persaint Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 Would go all out attack for this one, would much rather lose 4-3 than hold out for a 0-0 for 85 minutes before a sucker punch in the end... -----------------Gazza----------------- Chambers---Fonte------Lovren--Yoshida ------------------Davis---------------- Lallana------------Ramirez-----Rodriguez -----------Osvaldo-------Lambert------ Should be good for a 2-2 that lineup... we WILL concede (more than one) so imo just a question of how many we can score in reply...

Smirking_Saint Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 Agreed, I'm not too fussed about the game, I'm mainly looking forward to the minute's applause. Whilst I dont necessarily agree with the relevance at a football match Id say it is a tad ignorant not to appreciate the man and so hold a minutes silence for his passing. But then I suppose there are those who are completely OTT for these sorts of emotional public outpouring aswell so I get both sides of that particular coin As far as Saints V City Itll be a tough one but I reckon we will either scrape a draw or get thumped 3-1. Im normally more of an optimist then a pessimist bit looking at this Ill stick to what Ive said in my other thread, we look mentally and physically tired and knocks are taking there toll. Not just this but Morgan was the fulcrum to our tactics and morgan was so muchore effective in the defensive phase then Cork and would allow the FullBacks more freedom. Without them both I think we will struggle to pull off our game plan and considering Ive not seen much of a plan B (admittedly as plan A has been so effective) I dont think we will play another way. Id love to be proven wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like something that usually happens when you're learning/don't yet dominate a language. And to be fair Pellegrini is not absolutely clueless in English. I agree with Pochettino's approach but I would like to see him at least give interviews to the club website in English. I guess that in time he will become more confident.
