Saints 1-4 Man City - Match Thread

It’s going to be over by half time.  Changed defensive pairing with a CB renowned for ball watching. Two strikers with no experience working together and pretty much match unfit. A Ref that is biased in the extreme towards the ‘big’ clubs and a love of a red card.  Think we could be seeing a record FA Cup score against.

BUT, it’s the FA Cup and who knows?  Get to half-time at 0-0 and we may just squeeze out a miracle. COYR!

I'm going to say it... I think that's quite a clever line up. Bar strikers, that is our strongest line up and I got my wish with Stephens starting. I can see why we've gone for the intelligent Moi over the buzzy Redmond who hasn't played much recently, I wanted Redmond because he's quick and will bother their defence...

 

...but that's where Shane and Adam come in. Both of them are quick, annoying players and that's what we want up front. They'll chase anything. Granted their goalscoring exploits aren't up there with Adams and Broja but they'll unsettle the City defence. Shane had shown in the past he can be a big game player and Adam has something to prove.

 

5 subs too... our attack will get stronger as the game goes on.

 

Keep 11 players on the pitch and we have a chance but irrespective of our line up (and of what I just said) it's tough to see past a City win today.

I could deal with Caballero in for Forster, Stephens in for Bednarek, any 2/3 of the full-backs and probably Adam Armstrong in for Broja. 

Not taking it seriously for me would be any of Valery, Diallo, Djenepo, Smallbone, Walcott or Long. Valery unlucky to be amongst those other names but it is what it is, I want to go to Wembley.

Wish Valery had started.
