Saints Reserves v Arsenal Reserves - FA Cup Match Thread


Recommended Posts

Posted

All the feelgood factor from Wednesday evaporated within 35 minutes of todays match because of a joke line up. This could be 6 or 7 the way things are going. As soon as you see the likes of Martina, Isgrove and Gardos starting you know you are in trouble. Three days left in the transfer window and still no Fonte replacement, still no striker.

If he'd picked the same team and we'd lost he'd have been slated anyway. Very little other options left to him.

The fixtures list decongests pretty soon for us. We'll see less rotation then.

 

How can you blame anyone but the manager for this so far :lol:

 

Individually players haven't been good enough, but let's be serious, the majority belong in the championship.

Get a ****ing grip!

Completely outplayed, but to be expected with the side out there today

Yep, very cruel to throw the kids under the bus like this.

Disgusted with the team that has been put out. Absolutely disgusted.

 

We may as well have just forfeited the match and refunded all the poor buggers that have paid to watch this utter ****e.

Manager obsessed with rotation and keeping players fit without any cognisance of who the team is he puts out. Just how 'fresh' they are. Absolutely abysmal.

Jack Stephens are struggling badly. Wasting possession and side footed in defense.

 

 

 

Its one thing to look good surrounded by quality senior players and a good goal keeper behind you. But with this defence around him he is going to be horribly exposed.

Posted
Gonna get worse unless he changes it. Yoshida, Romeu and Redmond on for isgrove, reed and stephens

 

But at 0-3, it is kind of futile already, and only risking injury to key players.

Posted
There really should be an option to throw in the towel. The rest of the match is just pointless.

 

We're going to get a demoralising hiding here.

No, you get a grip. Be an adult and admit what we can all see - Reed needs to hurry up with getting a quality CB and CF in. Proper Saints fans can see this and have been saying this for ages, even though we are delighted to be at Wembley in the EFL Cup.

If they get a refund will the ticket still count for the cup final....

Don't worry. We've rested players so we're guaranteed 3 Pts midweek and a couple of million extra come the end of the season. Much more important than trying to win the fa cup. [emoji17]

Not seen such an obvious attempt to lose a game from Saints in a long time but not going to get too upset by it.

 

Feel sorry for those who paid money to see Saints though, the team selection is clearly cheating paying punters.

 

Exactly, if this was a boxing match there would be fekin uproar.

some of you really make me laugh.....I had no doubts that virtually the whole first team would be rested after Wednesdays brilliant result and effort by the players. We do not have the squad depth and hopefully in the next 72 hours we will see some incomings.

 

We were always going to lose today after Wednesday night and i personally dont want to risk anymore first teamers being injured when we are already going to Wembley

I still can't comprehend why other teams don't make so many changes as us. You can't change 4 of your back 5 against an Arsenal team containing Welbeck, AOC and Walcott and expect to get anything other than a hiding.

 

Don't care that we're going out but I do care that we'd just regained some confidence and are now about to get a demoralising thumping. That's not brilliant management in my book. Thrown the youngsters under the bus here.

Finally some common sense on here.

With out two best CBs injured or sold its fairly expected?

 

 

Not really put our best team today and we could have beaten this Arsenal side ( like they did against Liverpool) and played this team against Swansea a game hardly anyone cares about.

I think the commentator made a very good point. We won't finish 5th let alone above. Arsenal are going for the title and have champions league. Their weakened selection is fair enough. The fa cup isn't a priority for them. Us on the other hand have a cup final. Which is fantastic. The problem is we could lose that. Why give up on your only route into Europe beyond that? Having two chances is better than one. Very poor decision making by Puel and heeps pressure on him that was not needed.

Ding Ding Ding.

 

Agreed.

I'll retire to the kitchen and start dinner then.

 

Exactly what I did mush. On my third beer, now the pizza's have been prepared.

Wonder which would've got a worse reaction? Putting out a second string side at Anfield, or playing a weaker team today?

 

People wanting their cake and to eat it too. It's not like we're losing to some lower division side.

I'm more concerned about the effect that a thumping might have on players like Stephens, McQueen and Sims. Not really fair to field such a weak team. We were not going to get anything other than a hiding with that team out.
