Armstrong is the only player we have who can get between the lines consistently. Theo of course is now developing into that role well. As for resting Romeu, yes but not against ManC we need all the experience we can get. Daillo would flounder and that would not be good for us Agreed re Armstrong. He plays his role well and is vital for us. What are you basing your opinion on Diallo on? It's equally possible that he'll thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 18 December, 2020 Share Posted 18 December, 2020 Same starting XI. keep with the plan. Look, we are underdogs for this one, but 6/1??? I just put £200 on. I think our chances to win are about 20% and to draw, maybe 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that the bookies also have Palace at long odds (albeit shorter than us) to beat Liverpool . Crazy odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ll see changes today and if not mistaken Ralph has hinted that Armstrong looked laboured Wednesday against Arsenal..I think you’ll see diallo get a full debut today but don’t know how Ralph will line us up against a city side desperate for a win..hope aguero doesn’t start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say city need a win so I can't believe they will be cautious. An early goal from us would be very disruptive to them and I suspect we'll see a bit more energy in the press from the start - which I agree probably means a rest for Armstrong.

Totton Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 17 hours ago, beatlesaint said: I wonder if he might start Ings on the bench, bring Redmond or Djenepo in and put Theo through the middle then bring Danny on in the second half. It’s just his talk of “managing minutes” that makes me wonder. He may drop Armstrong to the bench as he’s mentioned before about being careful with him due to his injury record. I would go along with that. Seems like a good ploy to me from what little I know from afar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totton Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 There is a very interesting piece on Saints in the Daily Telegraph sports section pages 10 and eleven. Elsewhere it's full of City stuff. If we beat them it will do wonders for Saints morale and perhaps the media will take us seriously. Pep says Romeo is one of the best midfielders in the Prem.

Don't think my ticker could handle another 75 minutes of Man City onslaught, as per the game in July. No, let's get to 85 minutes at 0-0 and then win the game with a JWP worldy free kick.

davefizzy14 Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 I'm hoping for a repeat of the result in July, although we will probably have to withstand a lot of pressure from Man City. 1-0 to us with Ingsy scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 I was just thinking that we've got a stronger bench than earlier in the season and then I saw theirs..

He is sometimes rested though when we have these spells with lots of games so it's probably a case of rotation to avoid tiredness/injury rather than being dropped.

Baird of the land Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 (edited) Surprised that it’s djenepo not Redmond starting for Armstrong.

LuckyNumber7 Posted 19 December, 2020 Share Posted 19 December, 2020 I like Armstrong but about time he was dropped, he's been pretty poor this season.
