Batman Posted 19 March, 2016 Posted 19 March, 2016 Obviously not a must win, but would be nice to win. I agree The manager has said a few times....which I am guessing is his way of building up the importance of the game and getting one over them unless, he actually believe we MUST win in order to have a real chance of qualifying for Europe
S-Clarke Posted 19 March, 2016 Posted 19 March, 2016 Firmino out is good news Looks like Firmino has done is hammy, he's out of the brazil squad for the friendlies. Also Milner is suspended as well, and Moreno is injured (although he doesn't seem to know how to defend when i've seen him)

I wonder if lallana will melt under the boo's, like last season

Chez Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Liverpool with their tails up is going to be tough, plus Lallana looks like he is playing with confidence, sadly. So it feels a little ominous for a painful afternoon, but then again they stuffed us last time, so perhaps the have had their day and we will upset the odds one more time. Looking forward to it.
SuperSAINT Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 will sturridge be fit enough to play? Bet he will be. Always scores against us.
tobes8 Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Bet he will be. Always scores against us. At least Faulkner won't be marking him!
tobes8 Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 At least Faulkner won't be marking him! Caulker ffs
Mr Biscuits Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Midfield need to nobble NFT as soon as he gets the ball. Other than that the team need to stick to the basics and grind out a win
Saints foreva Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 will sturridge be fit enough to play? Coutinho and Can are very good. I wonder if lallana will melt under the boo's, like last season We'll he didn't in the 6-1 game. Hope he's ignored personally but that won't happen.
Shance Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 If we win today and City lose, we are right back in the hunt for a top 4 spot!! COYS!!
simo Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 "Ronald Koeman's side have won 20 points from their last 10 games - only Leicester (23) and Tottenham (22) have claimed more." Just what could have been with a bit more consistency eh !?

Just what could have been with a bit more consistency eh !? Totally on our day we can be very good and match for anyone but sadly we haven't had enough days it's been a two steps forward to steps back kind of season.
Saint_Tony Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Totally on our day we can be very good and match for anyone but sadly we haven't had enough days it's been a two steps forward to steps back kind of season. Yeah, it's been a strange season. We've had two good runs of form and 2 poor runs. Liverpool are improving, but we are almost back to full strength. Fancy us to win this 2-1 Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
stevy777_x Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Wanyama looks upset and unhappy in the players arriving to the stadium video. I expect he has been told that he is on the bench today and not starting.

Batman Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Fonte back in. Martina keep his place. Vic on the bench. 4 at the back
Saint-Armstrong Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 SAINTS: Forster; Martina, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand; Clasie, Romeu, S. Davis; Long, Pellè, Tadić. Bench: Stekelenburg, Cédric, Yoshida, Wanyama, Ward-Prowse, Juanmi, Mané.
NewYorkSaint Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Pretty exciting team, if they all show up. Tadic Pelle Long Davies capable of real damage on their day....
mattiiiboiii7 Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Quick glance on the Liverfool forum, lots of chatter about 'the diamond formation' being back for them and that if that's the case they will, "rip us a new one" ... ...needless to say... Come on you SAINTS!!!
igsey Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 Can't understand why Martina starts ahead of Cedric. Glad to see Romeu starting over Vic. I think Sturridge is due an injury, preferably before he scores against us! Firmino is out for them which is excellent news. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Leo_ARG Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 I'm happy with the team, this 4-4-2 has a good balance. The only doubt in my mind is starting Clasie ahead of Wanyama. He is too weak and slow and doesen't win the ball back enough. Romeu has earned his place, I would never take him off.
cobbysouth Posted 20 March, 2016 Posted 20 March, 2016 In the last couple of games I've seen Martina in he's looked very capable; good at attacking, some decent crosses and most of all doesn't lose the ball that much when he bursts forward to attack. Been impressed with him tbh.

He is too weak and slow and doesen't win the ball back enough. Romeu has earned his place, I would never take him off. Will be tough for Clasie against the movement of Coutinho and Lallana. Certainly will need to be miles better than he was in the cup game.

Don't really need Wanyama against Liverpool - a lot of their players are quite lightweight. I mean, Coutinho looks like he weighs about 9 stone, there's nothing to him, he doesn't need physical presence to stop him, he needs someone quick who can prevent him being in space.
