disconnect Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Doing a pre-match session about Saints and I will probably face the question about which Saints players to look out for. Does anyone have any input to which players would be most interesting to keep an eye out for from an opposition/neutral point of view? Sadio Mane - scorer of fastest ever premier league hat trick. Pelle - last season's top scorer and Italy international. Jay-Rod - England international just back from over a year out injured.

I am assuming you've worded that badly and actually wanted interesting facts on the Midtyjlland players...? Considering you have over 2,600 posts on a Saints forum, I'd be disappointed if you were after facts on Saints players.
derry Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 If they are going to play a very high line one way to exploit it is pace, with the ball over the top behind the high line and away from the keeper. Not to play the half way house and play up to Pelle, he should be missed out and get into the box as quickly as possible together with runners from midfield on the break and the quick men breaking behind the high line going for the ball first.

Get it into the box for who to bring it under control, if Pelle is missed out?

Considering you have over 2,600 posts on a Saints forum, I'd be disappointed if you were after facts on Saints players. Your assumption is off the mark, I'm afraid. I've been following this club for 20+ years and know the facts. I was interested in what perspective people on here take on our team. Would it be most interesting to see Mané because of his skill and unpredictability, Romeu to see how he does without Vic (and if gets a red card), Targett or Soares to see if they manage to push forward or get pinned back, Pellé strength, Ward-Prowse's set piece deliveries etc?... You know, to get a debate going and see what others think. disconnect's answer was the kind I was looking for.
Batman Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Get it into the box for who to bring it under control, if Pelle is missed out? long wins a fair amount in the air pelle rarely jumps and usually tries to chest it down
derry Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Get it into the box for who to bring it under control, if Pelle is missed out? Mane, Long, JayRod, 2 from 3 chasing the over the top ball and anybody else going for the box. Aston Villa did a good impression of it beating us at SMS in the Pochettino high press era.
benjii Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Pelle murdered them in the second half of the first leg; he won everything. It would be stupid to leave him out.
derry Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Pelle murdered them in the second half of the first leg; he won everything. It would be stupid to leave him out. You misunderstood I said miss him out and put the ball into the space behind the high press not leave him out. More direct than playing off him and the defenders able to spoil. Any fouls happening to the runners could easily end up in a sending off for the last man.

Ron has already said will be more direct than usual this game. Guess that means up to Pelle rather than over/through their defence? we shall see
Dangermouth Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 He means simply hit the winger/inside forward and have them hit the byline while Pelle steams into the box and gets to the cross.

Guy Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Is it on the telly? My tv guide just says "Europa League - tbc"
Saint Garrett Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Herning is buzzing, slight bit of rain but all good. Nice friendly atmosphere in the "strip"
Junior Mullet Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Chill out ****ers. We'll win in convincing fashion tonight. The first leg was a freak. Pelle will terrorise them.
100%Red&White Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Chill out ****ers. We'll win in convincing fashion tonight. The first leg was a freak. Pelle will terrorise them. Thank fook for that. Oh, hang on, what happened against Everton and Watford
waylander Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 BT sport Europe If you have Freeview it is worth trying channel 59 which is BT Sport Showcase
Secret Site Agent Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 A scrappy 1 - 0 win I reckon. Just enough to get through and just enough to keep the doom and gloom brigade topped up with grumble coupons. Win win. grumble coupons, I like that. I recon we'll go out and attack from the off but will not be until the second half until we shine. Going for a 2-0, Pelle and Mane in injury time.............................................Please.
SNSUN Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 We'll win tonight IMO, maybe not comfortably but we'll go through. Midtjylland were well organised in the first leg but are still no great shakes and our attacking force will know what they have to do. In turn, the win will give us the confidence to get our first win against Norwich on Sunday. Strongest team needed IMO Stek Cedric Fonte Yoshida Targett Romeu Wanyama Davis Tadic/Jay Pelle Mane
Matthew Le God Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Strongest team needed IMO Stek Cedric Fonte Yoshida Targett Romeu Wanyama Davis Tadic/Jay Pelle Mane Wanyama hasn't travelled to Denmark due to a stomach infection and Mane has been injured (he went off in the 1st half vs Watford) and hasn't been in full training all week (so may only be an option from the bench).
Toomer Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Is there a dodgy website.com for tonight's game?
Wilf Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 I reckon 2:2 and through on away goals. goals from Romeu and Pelle 1 o.g. from Caulker Romeu red card with 7 minutes to go to set up a nervy finish.

Saint Charlie Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Wanyama hasn't travelled to Denmark due to a stomach infection and Mane has been injured (he went off in the 1st half vs Watford) and hasn't been in full training all week (so may only be an option from the bench). Don't see why Wanyama wouldnt have travelled and Koeman hasn't mentioned anything and havent seen him ruled out elsewhere. Expect he will start.
Bucks Saint Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 2-0 to us. Not easy or convincing but we will do it.
SNSUN Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Wanyama hasn't travelled to Denmark due to a stomach infection and Mane has been injured (he went off in the 1st half vs Watford) and hasn't been in full training all week (so may only be an option from the bench). Ah not been following for a few days. Reed for Wanyama and JWP in for Mané as we might need the set pieces. Sounds a bit weaker though. (Have to remember I'm down to the three post rule until I sort my membership out!)
Shroppie Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Don't see why Wanyama wouldnt have travelled and Koeman hasn't mentioned anything and havent seen him ruled out elsewhere. Expect he will start. Are you serious? He hasn't travelled because of a "stomach infection" and there are several hundred posts speculating on whether that's for real or a cover up for a transfer.

Saint Charlie Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Way too defensive lineup IMO. Only two players in the XI who are capable of creating or scoring a goal and one of those is recovering after a year out. Odd. Especially against a team we are clearly superior to and need to score against.
SaintZamboni Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Stekelenburg, Martina, Fonte, Caulker, Yoshida, Targett, Romeu, S. Davis, Ward-Prowse, Pellè, Rodriguez.
Jack Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 No creativity in that at all. Frustrating game ahead. Don't see the need for a back 5 when they'll be camped behind the ball
DG Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 That defence :/ JWP + Pelle = goals hopefully. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
Saint Charlie Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 No creativity in that at all. Frustrating game ahead. Don't see the need for a back 5 when they'll be camped behind the ball Exactly my thoughts. Really strange, especially with two wing backs who are lacking going forward and no goalscoring midfielders.
niceandfriendly Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Oh my goodness that team..... weakest for many years? Hope everyone has some spectacular p*ssy to go home to after this one.
Matthew Le God Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 No creativity in that at all. Frustrating game ahead. Don't see the need for a back 5 when they'll be camped behind the ball Don't view it as a back five then, as Targett and Martina will be very attacking wing backs playing high up the pitch when we have the ball.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Don't they only play with one up front and that player was a non event in the first game?
SaintZamboni Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 We only need to win 1-0 and, should things be stale (as I suspect) the bench is full of options going forwards
scotty Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 I reckon 2:2 and through on away goals. goals from Romeu and Pelle 1 o.g. from Caulker Romeu red card with 7 minutes to go to set up a nervy finish. Could you be more specific?
Appy Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 We only need to win 1-0 and, should things be stale (as I suspect) the bench is full of options going forwards We need to get that 1 first.
SuperMikey Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 That'll play more like a 3-5-2 rather than 5-3-2: ---------------STEKELENBURG------------- -------CAULKER----FONTE----YOSHI------- MARTINA----------ROMEU---------TARGETT ------------DAVIS--------JWP------------- ------------PELLE--------J-ROD------------ Romeu will sit, Davis and JWP will push higher up to support the strikers and Martina & Targett will look to provide support out wide. Looks like a decent team to me!
Saint Charlie Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 That team would be in a relegation battle over a PL season I reckon. Slow and predictable, Jay aside.

Looks like a decent team to me! Exactly that. It a actually quite an attacking line-up
Matthew Le God Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 That team would be in a relegation battle over a PL season I reckon. Where do you think FC Midtjylland would finish in the Premier League?
Appy Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Exactly that. It a actually quite an attacking line-up It isn't, there are only 2 players that offer goals.
WealdSaint Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Big game for JWP You can really launch your Saints career tonight
Saint_Tony Posted 27 August, 2015 Posted 27 August, 2015 Shocking line up. Would be surprised if we go through. The bench looks stronger. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
