Saints v Spurs (FA Cup) Match & Reactions Thread

Our worst fears. Armstrong not rested and if that is a hammy he’ll be out for a month at least.

 

Like the taters said, it looked like it was something the physios were aware of before the game, as he was wearing lycra shorts to keep the muscles warm. He didn't look to be walking too gingerly as he left the pitch, so hopefully it's just a precautionary sub and the injury isn't too serious.

Also been complaining about Danso for much of the half. Doubt Ralph will change anything though, hopefully he'll have a better second...

Hope so. If they knew about it then it was a bit of a foolish gamble. He’s really got us ticking nicely in recent weeks. Hindsight obviously 20/20 but maybe he shouldn’t have been risked.

It's bizarre how much of a well oiled machine we are on the road while we continue to struggle to find the right set up at home.

 

Spurs are killing us in transition. Just like Wolves did. And West Ham before them. It's only a matter of time before they make one of their breaks count.

 

Not sure Obafemi is contributing much. Perhaps get Romeu on to sit in a midfield three and allow the wingers to push higher in support of Ings.

 

Game's still there for the winning - thanks, Gunny - but not if we carry on on the same path.

Cedric now Armstrong. That's our right side sorted. Whose turn next?

 

We can't get through their lines this afternoon and we are wide open at the back. Jose will send out a different team after the break, watch for the long balls down the channels to their fast runners to stretch us.

Based on first half Danso is not a right back. Would rather have Stephens there and Danso in the center.

At least you get to judge him in his natural position.

Or maybe Ralph doesn t trust him there in which case you might as well send him back.

We look the better team but keep getting BADLY exposed on the counter. It's like watching a Pellegrino team defending it's own corners. Should be 2-0 down.

Danso is struggling and often leaves Son unmarked. Stevens should shout a bit more.

The authority of JWP these days is pretty amazing. He's had a great half. I thought Obafemi pretty exciting. Will be curious to see if Djen comes through 2nd half. on his day, the boy is incredible. And Redmond! fantastic half from him.

Not really interested in excuses for him, he just hasn't looked very good when he's played. Nerves that show that clearly aren't a good thing and plenty of younger players than him have coped with it just fine.

 

He's just showing exactly why Ralph hasn't played him until he has to.

Name me 1 player who every now and again plays in a completely different position that they were recruited for?

 

He's doing a job and is a young guy whose played CB marking lewodanski etc and did ok.

 

I'm all for judging people but be fair.

Too late, the forum experts have spoken. File him away alongside Scott Marshall, Jakobsson and Davenport.

you cant. because most other players are good enough to play or even step in to cover the position they were recruited for.

 

Danso is clearly another one on the bedpost of shyt signings....

Ings is crap, get rid

 

Flashback to August 2019 when we were repeatedly told in no uncertain terms just how shockingly bad Ings was and that we’d been mugged off by Liverpool.
