Badger Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 A concern for me today is any suspensions picked up as without any games between now and the final that will rule them out of that. (Unless we hastily arrange the Arsenal home fixture for the week before if its only a one game suspension). Worst case is Romeu getting an early yellow today, then having to tread eggshells for the rest of the match *****il subbed of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 I'm guessing from the hints that it will be Bertrand CB and McQueen LB. Could be; I'd rather Bertrand's speed and crossing were deployed at LB with either Gardos or Stephens partnering Yoshida. I think Sims should continue to be in the frame; he looks increasingly good with each run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one is one card away from a suspension (according to the FA). Only a red card for dangerous play (3 game ban) would result in anyone missing the final as far as I can see. You may have a valid concern next week if Romeu gets a yellow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did sell a centre-back that had just won the Euros with Portugal and replaced him with either a young lad who has only a handful of appearances, someone who has been injured for what seems forever, or a left-back.

Saint_Ash Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 Oh good. He's playing in his position in a poor defence Sent from my iPad using TapatalkIs Cedric poor? Is Bertrand poor? Is Yoshida poor? So you're basing it on Stephens being poor, he's still learning and these games are going to do him the world of good. Is Romeu in front of the defence poor? I'm looking forward to this game regardless of what has or hasn't happened with the transfer window. I love game day but you carry on being miserable.

Piran Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 I was there too. Hadn't realised it was February - I thought it was sooner after the World Cup win. One thing I do recall though was watching the two teams warming up before kick off, and West Ham and their England trio looked like supermen. Bigger, fitter, more handsome, and I feared for Saints, but then following kick off we were magnificent, and West Ham were lucky to get two.

Convict Colony Posted 4 February, 2017 Share Posted 4 February, 2017 We may now have the people - Manolo and Sofianne to actually make the formation work a lot better now. 2 talented players, both can score from long range but can also play in others and can create movement up front with Jayrod as they interchange across the line. Key is probably for our 2 shuttlers Davis & WP to do the transitions a lot quicker to not enable west ham to reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
