Long up front just makes me laugh. We'll really miss Romeu in the middle. Just hope we can hold out until HT and make some changes. 0-3 prediction Swansea....

Valery did indeed look very assured at centreback, so it'll be interesting to see how he does here. The issue isn't changes, it's the sheer amount of them. It smacks of literally deciding this game is a throwaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer42 Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Im going to reserve judgement. We don't know who has knocks, covid or needs a rest......but I will say I'm glad I decided not to go today because my father in law is nervous of covid and I'm only just getting over it I don't know if resting players for the Newcastle game is a good idea as it is highly possible that the game will be postponed now that St Maximum and Wilson have been added to their massive injury / covid list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee On Solent Saint Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 We a know Ralph likes a record. Perhaps he is going all out for that record of goals conceded in the Premier League in a calender year. Only need three to beat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkeith Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 I know we only have 4 covid cases, but if that results in Shane Long starting, surely that is a case for postponement ! We are obviously saving players for Sunday, but not looking forward to this afternoon. Time to stock up the fridge ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he always causes problems. He played earlier in the season - against Chelsea maybe? - and immediately was winning the ball in the air, winning us freekicks and throw ins to move us up the pitch. Shane Long has a use in the squad, i just don't know if today is right. He should be the person you bring on when defending a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Force Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 I cant criticize other managers for not wanting to use their squads and wanting games cancelled and then complain about this.

I'm also siding to a Spurs win but honestly I think all 3 results are possible, before yesterday I'd have said probability is 80% Spurs win, 15% draw, 5% Saints, but now I'd say 50% Spurs, 30% draw and 20% Saints. Spurs 50.3% Draw 26.9% Saints 22.8% Amazon Prime just showed the above as the result probabilities, not too far off my predictions then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
