Heisenberg Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 We are 12/1 at HOME!! How far weve fallen.... miserable
jamesfp1 Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Random lineup generator has been activated!
nta786 Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 well, presuming that this is a 451 with literally no pace on the wings. It's like he has put out our cup side to one of the best, if not the best, side in the PL at home Still, I trust Ralph tbf- I can only presume the rest of the lads are actually knackered, and this offers his another major assessment of our squad. No Hoedt, Cedric and Gabbiadini again as key omissions. McCarthy Ramsay-Stephens-Bednarek-Targett JWP-PEH-Lemina-Romeu-Elyounoussi Austin My presumptions are that Redmond, Ings and Long will be the likely attacking subs he makes. COYS
Suhari Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 WTF is with that selection? We've decided to roll over on this one have we!?
Saint-Beer Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Good chance for the forgotten to show what they have. Especially Moi and JWP. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Batman Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 WTF is with that selection? We've decided to roll over on this one have we!? That players look shattered against West Ham. We have another game Wednesday too
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 That players look shattered against West Ham. We have another game Wednesday too This is spot on and had to be done, all teams use their squads at christmas time.
nta786 Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Ederson, Danilo, Kompany ©, Sterling, Aguero, Laporte, Silva, Bernardo, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Zinchenko Ederson Danilo Kompany Laporte Zinchenko Fermandinho Bernaro David Sterling Aguero Mahrez Forget our line up though- Fernandinho returns as does Kompany who has seemed to score a couple times against us if I recall... I mean I can't say I am feeling confident- don't want to sound negative but it feels like it will be 3-1 to them!
Bewildered Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 4-5-1 with 4 CMs and Moi behind Austin? I get that some players looked tired against WHU but this line up is bizarre, I guess we'll see...
Batman Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 I would expect us to concede at least 3. In which half?
simo Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 On the plus side 4 academy players in the starting line up !?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 In which half? Both Seriously, lets give them a chance, you just never know..
VectisSaint Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Slowest team in our history? Would have been slower if Vestegaard had been selected.
saintwbu Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Much more packed in midfield to compensate for reverting to a back 4. Obviously going to be more conservative with a lot of firepower to bring off the bench if we’re still in the game at a late stage. Could go really wrong, but i’m quite excited for this, will be interesting to see Moi start too, clearly he’s in Ralph’s plans for the future after coming on the other night too.
DT Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Wear them out and then bring on the pace? Bit odd but can sort of see logic and rest for players. Anyone know anything about Cedric? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nolan Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Its a school of pochetino / cortese formation surely? 4 2 3 1 Hojbjerg and Romeu as DMs. Lemina, mo and JWP in front of them with Charlie up front.

Matthew Le God Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 WTF is with that selection? We've decided to roll over on this one have we!? Did you not watch the West Ham game under 3 days ago? The players are shattered, makes sense to rotate them.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It worked for Wolves yesterday.....who knows? Could be inspired thinking, could be an insipid performance - the joys of being a Saints fan!!
LGTL Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 He’s clearly thrown this game. Will see if it’s worth it in a few weeks time. Will be happy if we keep it to less then 6.

verlaine1979 Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 The plan is clearly to keep it tight, and then unleash Redmond to trot at them a little above walking pace for the last twenty.
badgerx16 Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Given some of the comments on here, why don't we just ring the PL and tell them we forfeit the match 3-0, and let the players have an extra day's rest before Wednesday's game ?

AdrianC Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 I don't think anyone sees us getting anything from this match so it makes sense to rest your 'first team' players for far more winnable games ahead. It will give him an opportunity to see different players and how they conduct themselves on the pitch with a far superior side and maybe those players not getting a look in in the current main team will step up with a point to prove. Resting the first choice players will give them the opportunity to rest after a busy schedule and not run themselves into the ground for no reason.

Probably the best option if we didn’t get a points deduction. I mean the skate and Austin
Rory Peepa Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 The XI looks picked with next game in mind to me. And fatigue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
badgerx16 Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Can genuinely see this being 5/6-0. Austin and Lemina hat-tricks ?
nta786 Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 placed a fiver on Man City to win with Kompany to score at any time. 65 quid return.
Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 well I will get to see Ramsay play. Apart from that it's going to be an absolute tonking. But looking forward to seeing some of the fringe players.
simo Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Ramsey the youngest player to start a premier league game this season
the saint in winchester Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 WTF is with that selection? We've decided to roll over on this one have we!? Yeah, I did call for squad rotation, but this lineup today is bizarre. Random generator as above noted. Are Cedric and Bertie still out? Has Ramsey even been playing for the U21s? To go into a game leaving your best players on the bench seems stupid, even if we expect them to come on and play a small part. It does look like Ralph has decided to forgo this game and save our stars for next week. Now make me eat my words, Ralph, I want to be wrong, I really do.
aintforever Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 This is going to be embarrassing, literally no pace going forward at all.
BotleySaint Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 All set up for us to be utterly destroyed barring something out of the ordinary.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 This is nothing more than training match for Ralfie to assess players and a formation.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 JWP looked furthest forward when we got the ball and looked to break there.
Batman Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 This is nothing more than training match for Ralfie to assess players and a formation. agree there welcome change of shape too reckon Hoj playing for a city move today
OttawaSaint Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Oh Stephens! That should have been 1-0 City.
aintforever Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Classic case of manager showing the owners how **** the squad is before the window.
BotleySaint Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Passing hasn't improved much. Our own worst enemies half the time.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 December, 2018 Posted 30 December, 2018 Passing hasn't improved much. Our own worst enemies half the time. Bednarek showed excellent strength to get ball and then puts it right up the middle to a City player. Footballers really are a bit thick.
