Saints vs Swansea match thread

Austin needed here - Swansea keeping four men back when we broke there says a lot. Don't think Long and Redmond are going to get much space to get behind them. Wish we had Pelle to call on, to be honest

 

Also think Cedric's having a decent game, against much tougher opposition than Sparta Prague.

really, really dislike this formation. No width and when we attack we have to hold up as there is no-one supporting the attack. So narrow and defensive: playing a counter attacking formation is all well and good but all teams have to do is sit deep as they know we have zero threat.

I thought we wanted high pressing football too?

The problem with pressing football is it takes too much out of the players as evidenced by the way Pochs teams fall away at the end of seasons and why Poch never really showed interest in the cups

 

With the large number of games we have this season we are playing a less intensive system the question is will it work?

 

Another favourite forum myth.
