Sheaf Saint Posted 12 January, 2019 Share Posted 12 January, 2019 So would I, if any of them were good enough. JWP and Stephens both have a lot of experience and can do a job when called upon as backup players. Valery shows a lot of promise, and can actually defend, but is nowhere near the finished article. Of the four that are starting, I would say Targett is the only one that really shouldn't be anywhere near our matchday squad. A defender who manages to let his man go past him every single time has no business getting starts in the PL. Hard to judge any of the subs really, given they have so little experience at this level between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washsaint Posted 12 January, 2019 Share Posted 12 January, 2019 Looks a really weak side. Shane 'stealing a living' Long as our lone striker makes me want to weep. As others have said, shows how pathetic our recruitment has been last 3 years. Everyone has known we have needed quality up front since Pelle left and what do we get..... Long, injury prone and over the hill Austin, injury prone (as is shown this season) Ings, awful Elyonoussi and the collossal waste of money that was Carillo. Still hoping we'll get something out of this game but not confident at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 12 January, 2019 Share Posted 12 January, 2019 The only players missing are Hoigberg (Suspended) and Yoshida (International Duty). And Ings, and Austin, and Bertrand, and Lemina - all unavailable today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with Lemina, he has just been dropped from the team, weather for bad attitude / transfer speculation I don't know, but no way is he still suffering from a tummy injury after 4 weeks still when he managed to play 90 mins and 45 with it but can no longer make match day squad.

DT Posted 12 January, 2019 Share Posted 12 January, 2019 I am not sure I believe he is injured, this injury started at the time of him being linked with a move to PSG, Lemina throwing toys about maybe? seems more likely than a tummy injury that lets him play a full game and do 45 mins before being unable to play at all / even make the bench I know an "injured" player when I see one...

Nordic Saint Posted 12 January, 2019 Share Posted 12 January, 2019 The only players missing are Hoigberg (Suspended) and Yoshida (International Duty). Who else would you have brought in? It's more an issue of how bad our transfer activity has been in recent years that we've ended up with a squad as poor as this. It's going to take several transfer windows to strengthen this squad.

norwaysaint Posted 12 January, 2019 Share Posted 12 January, 2019 Ralph has a weak squad to work with, but at least it means we'll actually find out what exact kind of quality we have in players like Slattery, Sims, Gallagher, Ramsey, Valery etc. There's been so much discussion about whether the younger players can do anything at this level, hopefully we'll get some answers and either move them on or bring them through. Valery hasn't done badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it. You do realise it's possible he was carrying a minor injury and playing those games might have aggravated it, don't you? Yes, there is a possibility that he might have a move lined up, but it's perfectly feasible that the club is telling the truth about his injury as well.

NewYorkSaint Posted 12 January, 2019 Share Posted 12 January, 2019 Can't believe the negativity here. I'm excited for the game. Redmond's on fire. JWP stronger, feistier, cleverer than ever. Long's a poor finisher but will still stress their defense. Romeu can be a rock. the back five seem to be improving every game. High press supersmart manager who's had a full week to prepare. Aren't I allowed a little excitement ahead of the game? all the recent clashes w Leicester could have gone either way. I think 1-2 to Saints a strong possibility.

Not for a tummy injury no. unless he is doing some sit ups during the game I can see no reason how or why you would aggravate a tummy bug sorry injury . Just wanted to add, that he has taken part in every single training season since he got his injury against gunners, so he trained up to Hudds game, and after, and after west ham and so on, no way is his tummy still causing him probs after 4 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums up my thoughts, very weak line up and not surprising that it has come to this , injury prone Ings is just that, Will probably play 50% of our games whilst picking up a big wage. Hopefully by end of the month we'll have Bertrand, Cedric, Hoijberg, Ings, Lemina, perhaps Yoshida back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've said it's a stomach injury, which means (I assume) it's a muscular problem with his stomach. Of course it's possible he is still having problems with that after 4 weeks.
