Saint Billy Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Its about time Crouch done us a favour, I can still see him not holding the ball up by the corner flag against Everton I think when we got relegated last time. Still nervous about this game even though the odds are stacked in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Yawn.... Think we might see both of those improve under Hughes (if he stays). MoPe's tactics often left them exposed and if the instructions given to them was as clueless as those given to the mids then it's no wonder that they got out of position.

You mean like he did at their place this season, when he came on for the last 10 minutes and promptly scored the winner for Stoke. 1st game back for VvD, Fraser actually saved a penalty but still Crouchie had the last laugh.

Anything could happen Sunday We have a better squad than Stoke. Saints are also currently playing better than Stoke and in a better place confidence wise. Of course Man City will want to win to get 100 points, but their players will be thinking of going to a World Cup injury free when they are faced with a 50/50 challenge on Sunday.

Dalek2003 Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 I think a lot of people are being cautious and do not want to tempt fate. That's all. Gloating will only help to motivate Swansea and Stoke would probably love to see Hughes fall flat on his face. So, I would imagine the club are keeping a low profile until after the City game, which is the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Hughes Stoke side conceded 7 against Man City this season, lets not forget. Anything could happen Sunday But Hughes is not managing them now. They have not conceded more than 3 goals in a game since the start of the year. Even when they conceded 7 they also scored 2 so it was "only" a 5 goal deficit. Swansea scored 8 earlier in the season. But it was against Notts County. They have only scored 2 goals in the last I don't know how many league games. Most likely result there is probably 0-0 or 0-1.

obelisk Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Can't see much beyond a 0-0 stroll in the park on Sunday. Man City is a team full of players heading to the World Cup so will probably be at 80% or less. Saints under Hughes are becoming a decent outfit and no easy push over any more. Could be fairly interesting in displaying the finesse of passing between defenders and midfielders but I anticipate the atmosphere of end end of season testimonial. At Swansea I expect Crouch to sign off with at least a brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsmike25 Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 I suspect we will keep it tight and not play an expansive game. Could lose 1-0 but we'll be fine. It'll be a dull affair that's for sure.

We aren't that easy to break down with the 5-4-1 formation. I think that may be a bit different with City. Some are saying crunch them early with a few hefty challenges but I can only see that ending badly, we're talking one of the big boys here, refs will bend over backwards for them. We'd probably end up with 9 men on the pitch by halftime, we would certainly be in trouble then. I think a less intense match will suit both sides.

Batman Posted 11 May, 2018 Share Posted 11 May, 2018 (edited) Guardiola made loads of changes for their last game, surely he will do again. Granted that will mean many awesome players playing but it won’t be their best 11. More so being the last game before the World Cup. I’m sure the likes of KdB and some of our players will hope for a training match. Can only imagine we will be very defensive for the first half at least Of course, the changes the other night from city could mean a first 11 starting on Sunday.

tajjuk Posted 11 May, 2018 Share Posted 11 May, 2018 We might get smashed but I can't see it being by more than 4, but I can't honestly see Swansea scoring more than 1 anyway. Their confidence is going to be rock bottom, they are down and they know it, very difficult to motivate a side on the basis of a 10 goal swing happening.
