Saints vs Sparta: Match Thread


Hamilton Saint

Martina having a stormer of a game, my MOTM tonight not just for his assist but he has played some very dangerous balls this game. If he isn't too fatigued give him a start in the League this weekend. Ditto Austin as an out and out striker like tonight.

 

He'll be on the banner before sunrise.

The team will be different Sunday, Puel said he will use the full squad to cope with the extra games...

You think VVD won't play on Sunday? I think Martina could be in with very strong chance especially as Cedric has been poor this season.

For those wondering about formation or those thinking we are not playing the diamond, we really are! Tadic is in the middle of the front 3. Although Long and Austin appear to be rotating. The key issue that's appearing to me is the confidence of the players to play a 1st time pass forward. The diamond is providing triangles to allow short passes but that pass rarely happens, a 2nd touch is taken and then more often the ball goes back. But I can see how the diamond could work and effectively.

What on earth has happened to Long? He's been awful tonight.

 

He's having a very typical Shane Long performance really...

 

Being a proper nuisance to the defenders, making intelligent runs and getting himself into really good attacking positions, then completely going to pieces when he has to actually do something with the ball.
