SuperSAINT Posted 29 November, 2018 Share Posted 29 November, 2018 (edited) Tremendous. Ings suffers injury set-back. Bertrand also a doubt. @AdamBlackmore: #saintsfc Danny Ings has had a small set-back with his hamstring injury Mark Hughes says, and hasn’t joined the squad in training yet. Safe to say he’s more than doubtful for Saturday v #mufc Edited 29 November, 2018 by SuperSAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 29 November, 2018 Share Posted 29 November, 2018 Ings definitely out, Bertrand and Targett doubtful. May be Valery with Cedric on the left. The question for me us whether to stick with the three CBs who did quite well on Tuesday, sacrificing an attacking player, or go to two (preferably Yoshida and Vestergaard) to keep the attacking line-up. If it's three at the back, with Ings unfit, I'd go with Redmond, Armstrong and Gabbiadini with Obafemi on the bench. If two, play them all. Please no Austin!

ericofarabia Posted 29 November, 2018 Share Posted 29 November, 2018 After so many poor displays of late, Morinho will be looking to get his show back on the road and what better team to play than us. I'm normally optimistic of a possible upset, but what is it 3 seasons or something stupid without a win against a top 6 team (Can Man U justify the label though?) is likely to continue. Lukaku will score for fun ... 0-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Valery getting thrown-in at RB. I'm not saying that is what I would do but it would be brave to have Valery in there at RB against Martial and Shaw when you're facing the sack for being shoite.

John D Posted 29 November, 2018 Share Posted 29 November, 2018 Plucky performance where we control large portions of the game but fail to move the ball around fast enough so don't create any sustained pressure. Gabbi misses our one clear chance and we eventually lose one nil to a scrappy goal by Lukaku after a mistake from Yoshida/Stephens/Hoedt/Cedric*. Hughes finds positives from the performance that no one else can. I have to decide whether to watch from the comfort of the sofa or brave the local which will be full of Utd fans! * could be any of the above.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 30 November, 2018 Share Posted 30 November, 2018 No way Hoedt or Austin should start this one on their dreadful recent form. Cedric against Martial and Fellaini on the back post is also asking for trouble, so might be Bednarek time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would 100% play Obafemi over him.[/quote'] Shame Obafemi isnt yet ready to be a Premier League player. Despite being lively and running around a lot, looks scared when he's got the responsibility to shoot and has had 2 or 3 very major c*ck ups in his limited appearances. I'm sure that'll change when he does put one away, but at the moment he's not quite there for me to be playing in the first team, and is likely only there due to the massive amounts of injuries (and significant loss of form) of our strikers. If you compare him to some of the youngsters brought in by Liverpool (Woodburn), City (Foden), Arsenal (Smith-Rowe) etc - you could tell straight away they looked much more composed and ready to play senior football. Hopefully it'll come soon, but he isnt the answer currently unfortunately. Would love to see Gallagher given another go as a bigger more mobile front man (than Austin), but I think he's still injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was lively on Tuesday and most certainly didn't look scared - weird thing to say. He had two half chances against Fulham and got decent shots away. His "sitter" against Leicester was nothing of the sorts. The rebound off the bar came to him fast at a very awkward height. Why compare with the youth of the "big" teams? He's what we've got and he's got potential that won't be realised unless he's given chances.

Neef Posted 30 November, 2018 Share Posted 30 November, 2018 Of course I hope for us to win. But away from home against any of the top 6, you have to be able to defend.

ericofarabia Posted 30 November, 2018 Share Posted 30 November, 2018 Umm .... just noticed that the pressure is off us actually beating a Top 6 team, as Moan U are languishing in 7th place ..... so technically a win wouldn't count as a Top 6 win!! So do we approach the game without that monkey on our shoulder and treat them the same as Burnley, Newcatle or Brighton and get a plucky draw, or save ourselves for Spurs away to get that elusive Top 6 win? I fear a United backlash. Even if we found ourselves 2 up I wouldn't put my mortage on us winning even against this current United side. Hope I'm wrong.
