norwaysaint Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Utterly confused about Bednarek. Everyone sang his praises when he played last season. He had a good world cup, now neither Hughes nor anyone here seems interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 I don’t mind that line up. Let’s wait and see how we set up and play before we write it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOWSaintDaz Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 I think that's positive from Hughes..shows he isn't as stubborn as some believe. Stephens and Hoedt did OK in some games last season so not sure why such a big downer on them? Have you actually seem Hoedt play he runs like Bambi on ice and is always prone to at least 1 or 2 costly mistakes each game. had one last week at home to Burnley where he passed the ball back into his own penalty area and they almost scored as a result, would of preferred Maya or Jan in for him........but we'll see, hope i'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 18 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 18 August, 2018 I’d have Yoshi and Gabbi for Stephens and Austin but otherwise not a bad team IMO. Certainly feel better bout it than the last one, where it was just a bunch of defensive players behind Redmond and a statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Not a fan of the lineup or bench Disappointing that there is no vestergaard. Though there could have been worse games to be without him. I'd prefer yoshi for hoedt. What is long doing making the bench? Disappointing that he's persisting with him rather than giving anyone else a chance. Also assume armstrong can't be fully fit or else he would be starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Pete Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Anyone know why Yoshida is not getting picked? Fitness concerns after World Cup? If not for fitness reasons, I don’t get how anyone can think Stephens and Hoedt are a better bet in centre defence than Yoshida, very odd. The midfield boys are going to need to have a very good day to protect that defence, but feel we could be a threat going forward with this line up. Hopefully JWP can help get better service to Austin so may see more of him this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Hughes more or less said he'd pick horses for courses. Certainly isn't Aintree with that line-up. I just hope Armstrong, Vestergaard, Gabbiadini & Yoshida are incapacitated in one way or another 'cos if Hughes thinks the blokes he selected are better than them then we are in big trouble. I was optimistic for a 0-0 with a late chance of a winner, totally deflated now. Definitely not going for it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Okay, we're going to get annihilated. See you next week. Yep, I’d take a 4-0 defeat and prepare for Leicester. Anything less than 3-0 would be a decent effort and GD could be important at the end of the season in staying up. Gao, Reed and Kreuger are just about to find out what the PL is about.

eddie Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 well given injuries/travel to vest + Mo, not the worst line up. I do agree the only question marks are Why Austin not Gabbi Why JWP not Armstrong Why Stephens not Yoshi Armstrong is the biggest loss of those (for JWP). Gabbiadini can be hit or miss. Yoshida I would prefer you stephens but he has had some decent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmike25 Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Dunno why the negativity - i think it'll be a close game. Providing we frustrate them we could get a point. Hoedt selection still baffles, but if he performs badly he'll be out of the side. I like the fact Ings is in, he'll be a pain for Everton to deal with. Some set piece delivery by JWP could cause Everton problems. The problem for Everton is they've spent lots of money and the expectation is huge, so we have to keep tight and frustrate their fans and hit on the break in the second half as they get more desperate for a goal. The key is not to concede early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
