Dusic Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Puel will be wanting to replace Austin. Absolutely not his type of player Agree with that. Won't happen but in an ideal world we would sell two of Austin, Long and Jay Rod in the summer and bring in a couple of players better suited to our style and system. Gabbiadini has showed so quickly how limited the others are. And all are on big money.
SuperSAINT Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Austin is on 70k a week Not sure I'd sell Austin, but if we decided to, we probably wouldn't have a problem getting people to pay the ££'s for him. It's whether he would pass a medical or not which would be the issue.
SKD Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Puel will be wanting to replace Austin. Absolutely not his type of player Agree however Austin is a different option to any other strikers we have. Would be foolish to not have a 'target man' for a plan B.
team-saint Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Agree however Austin is a different option to any other strikers we have. Would be foolish to not have a 'target man' for a plan B. Austin is a pretty poor target man, certainly not in the same league as Pelle or Lambert
Saint_clark Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Austin is a pretty poor target man, certainly not in the same league as Pelle or Lambert Before his injury his link up play was looking infinitely better and he actually reminded me a lot of Lambert.
saintgeorge8 Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Pelle had better hold up and link up play than Lambert or Austin IMO, didn't get half the credit he deserved at Saints Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

saintadam Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 So still people slating Austin, our best player before he got injured. Same people who criticised Pellé in every game i wonder...(?). Anyway, hope Gabbiadini is fit to start today or that Long put on his shooting boots for once

Saint Martini Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Lowest shots to goals stats in the league speaks volumes about where our problems have been this season. It doesn't. It shows that we take a lot of shots from positions you don't usually score from. Especially earlier this season we were guilty of this. If you look at our expected goals per match on the @11tegen11 twitter account you'll see were not that ineffective. We just didn't create that many real chances earlier in the season.
Batman Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Gabbiadini STARTS!!!!! get 70 mins out of him, surely
Batman Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Bravo, Clichy, Kompany, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Toure, Sane, Silva, De Bruyne, Navas, Aguero Navas at RB and Bravo in goal. bound to be goals in this one
Pamplemousse Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Martina instead of Pied on the bench. He wasn't in the squad apparently Clasie on the bench is a surprise too
Dark Munster Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Shame Toure is back in favour with Pep. He's a beast and can dominate midfield.
SuperSAINT Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Shame Toure is back in favour with Pep. He's a beast and can dominate midfield. Going to miss Romeu today big time.
Professor Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Looks a good side; for me, only Van Djik and Romeu are missing from what looks to me our strongest XI. Hojbjerg instead of Classie must have been a close call after the stunning goal last week but Pierre-Emile played well against West Brom. Gabi has every chance of getting the ball past Bravo.

Our two most key players in the spine though
adrian lord Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 If we can keep VVD another year, we will have an exceptional team, especially if we tweak the forward personnel over the summer.
the boy from saints Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 BT not mentioned Saints yet - except saying that VVD could be an option for City next season! Hate BT!
Batman Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 BT not mentioned Saints yet - except saying that VVD could be an option for City next season! Hate BT! 1st half of the build up about city, 2nd half about saints..

Pamplemousse Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 I'm pretty sure he posts on here, under the username of Turkish
SNSUN Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Think this will be a high scoring defeat. (I don't mean we'll get whipped big style, I mean both sides will score a few but it'll be close. I'm going for 5-3 to Man City, our goals from Manolo, JWP and Bertrand. :-) Of course I hope for much more...
adj_09 Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Are we ever going to see caceres? Is he not as good as his pedigree suggests? Finding it hard to understand why we have made him one of the top earners if he's not going to get a single minute Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Heisenberg Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 3-1 win I think Put some breathing space between us and clubs below (only 5 points separates 9th-16th) Win today and I think 8th will be ours
Batman Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Aguero should have used his head. jesus, another miss by aguero, pulled wide
Dalek2003 Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 3-1 win I think Put some breathing space between us and clubs below (only 5 points separates 9th-16th) Win today and I think 8th will be ours We should be able to play without any pressure, Not mathematically safe but virtually.

SW5 SAINT Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Aguero should have used his head. jesus, another miss by aguero, pulled wide I thought Jesus was injured?
Suhari Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 I thought Jesus was injured? Was only laid up a few days.
Edmonton Saint Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 No match thread lol. We've been sluggish so far, need a spell on the ball.
OttawaSaint Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Was only laid up a few days. Probably pass a late fitness test on Monday and then go MIA...
OttawaSaint Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Barely able to get the ball in their half at the moment.
striker Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Wow that was bad. How can a professional footballer miss like that. Its like he was very hesitant to take the shot.
GAZZA747 Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 No match thread lol. We've been sluggish so far, need a spell on the ball. There is a match thread!
