Surely he should haVe given al the instructions needed before the game and also in training sessions.. However Leicester were favourites and we only lost 1-0 and that was after an unlucky deflection. Just keeping things in perspective. albeit we showed no urgency when only 1-0 behind with1 0 minutes to go.Slowly taken throw - ins going backwards for example.

Obviously Mason's first game and he'll want to do well, but they have a cup final on Sunday that must be their priority. Will they risk Kane/Son getting clattered by Bednarek and being out the final? Is Kane fit? Looked a nasty ankle injury at the weekend, or perhaps he was just putting it on to get Mourinho booted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on our last two games and the last 4 months in general there is nothing to be optimistic about!

Does Bednarek get near enough to the opponent these days to "clatter them" ? Perhaps leave it until the 85th minute , if the game is lost, and someone should seriously clatter Son as payback for his feeble 'going over ' in the cup last season. And to wipe that nauseating inane grin off his face. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a dramatic turn of form is a head scratcher , can't just be down to our injuries. Player contracts is an issue. Watch back some of our games from earlier in the season and we do look a completely different team. Shame really, we all got our hopes up a bit.

Very much all this and.... Redmond runs forward and Redmond turns and passes back. Vestergaard 50 yard ball to Walker Peters but it’s sussed and cut out. Pass, pass, pass, pass pass and pass to Forster and boom towards a tall defenders head. Ings badly passes it back and the whole team are up shit creek. Son finds himself unmarked to score yet again.

hasper57saint Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 (edited) A little more positivity on throw ins, stop this bloody crab football and attack! Spurs are and attacking side and leave big gaps at the back. Hit Son hard at the first opportunity. Provoke. Dele Alli because he's like Humpty Dumpty and don't like it mentioned and he will get booked. We can get three points out of this. Then poke two fingers up to Mr. Levy. I live in hope.

Saints player has 2 options to play in a decisive ball for a great scoring chance, 1 shot for passes it straight to the only defender, 2 shots for tries to dribble through and runs straight into only defender, 3 shots for stops, turns back, plays ball back to a defender.

VectisSaint Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Bit light in MF (understatement).

washsaint Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Wow, just wow! Hoping for the best and expecting the worst. Assume Salisu at LB unless he is going 3 at the back. They should waltz through the middle of the park - Armstrong is an attacking midfielder not a holding midfielder. Do not understand the recall for Macarthy at all.....Forster has actually done nothing wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 (edited) Interesting lineup. Is Bertrand injured or have we decided to move on from him completely. Glad to see Mccarthy back and adams too. Understand freshening up the 10's too. While Armstrong did better in CM than i expected last time he had to deputise there i still find it bizarre that Jankewitz is constantly included on bench but never given a minute's game time.

davefizzy14 Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Bertrand is injured according to Tom Leach. I dunno why Fraser is on the bench, he's done nothing wrong in my opinion. Jankewitz I would have started along with Minamino. Glad Che is back in along with Tella. In Ralph we trust COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brightside Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Perfect opportunity to play Jankewitz, Ralph obviously has no faith in him. Shame, would have liked to have seen what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
