steveo Posted 12 April, 2022 Posted 12 April, 2022 Think we all know, or at least expect that this will be another heavy defeat. 4 of the last 5 league games have been dreadful (leeds being the exception). Our so called players have not been doing the jobs that they are very well paid for, and really do not seem to care. As always I will be there, but am looking forward to the prematch beers with friends rather than the match. As someone else has already said, if we perform as badly this time at least we can all f off back to the pub and watch the cup game, that way we get to see some football being played.
Verwood Saint Posted 12 April, 2022 Posted 12 April, 2022 Seems to me that turning up on Saturday wearing our best beachwear would be an ideal way of supporting the team as they have been 'on the beach' for a weeks now!

Drop Bednarek altogether, useless, weak, bang average. Salisu was poor too but I’d rather keep him in over JB. Forster; KWP, Valery, Stephens, Salisu, Perraud; JWP, Romeu, Diallo; Adams, Broja Bring in Valery, he is unpredictable at CB but I’d rather have him over predictably poor JB. Wing backs playing on their correct sides. Spine of a midfield to match Arsenal. Two up top. If we need more creativity we have Moi, Stu, AA and Redmond on the bench. Go strong with five at the back and a spine across midfield and we might keep it under five goals. Expand Most of our issues against the top six are two up front apart from weird personnel position choices … 2
skintsaint Posted 13 April, 2022 Posted 13 April, 2022 Lucky Arsenal, they need a win and who they got next? Us! Perfect time for them to rediscover their form. Seriously though, if we play like we did against Chelsea we will again get pumped hard. Feel like though we may give a better performance, going for a 2-2. AA double (If I keep saying it surely must come true).
Lighthouse Posted 13 April, 2022 Posted 13 April, 2022 Remember Boxing Day (26th December, as it is every year) in 2015 when we were absolute sh*te for a month and pulled a 4-0 win out of nowhere? I’d take that.

Baird of the land Posted 13 April, 2022 Posted 13 April, 2022 An off form arsenal desperate for a win versus an obliging saints that's already acting like it's their summer break. Yeah I can't muster any optimism for it.
Lee On Solent Saint Posted 13 April, 2022 Posted 13 April, 2022 Surely we can't be that bad twice in two home games??

Same formation as always. Haven’t you learnt anything? With our squad two up front is suicide…. Particularly against the better teams…
Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 April, 2022 Posted 14 April, 2022 It’s going to be another mauling and anything better than 0-4 likely to be chalked up as a success by Ralph and his team of also rans. Sorry, not feeling terribly positive about SFC of late and I’m not sure whether it’s the Manager or the players or both. Tactically I’m bored watching the same old moves resulting in the same old mistakes. I’m frustrated at the % of JWP’s backward or sideways passing and his inability to find a Saints player with one of his hailed corners. I’m tired of trying to understand why KWP plays LB rather than Perraud. Can’t justify the expense of renewing the ST this season, but at least I’ll miss it less the way things are going.😔 2
Charlie Wayman Posted 14 April, 2022 Posted 14 April, 2022 Hard to see any change in fortunes this weekend, last week's thrashing came at the wrong part of the season when everything is winding down and weariness may be setting in. There is little to play for, final position in the league table is important to the club of course but it seems to me that players are unlikely to respond to that as a motivational goal except maybe the captain but there's not that much he can do on his own. One suspects most players are now more concerned about their personal positions going into the summer break with next season and contracts in mind. Some will be moved on, others maybe will want to move on but many minds will be distracted. For these reasons, I am expecting more of the same with a little better organisation at the back, maybe Lyanco in for one of the other two CBs and Tina on the bench with Perraud coming in. Not enough to prevent a 0-3 drubbing though.

fanimal Posted 14 April, 2022 Posted 14 April, 2022 It sure how two up front is suicidal given it worked fine when we went on a winning streak Sally Sue has gone right off as has Jan after reports half of Europe want them so the othe Jan and Jack can do no worse and at least the two Nathan’s will give us pace and workfare unlike last Saturday’s embarrassment

Our losing streak started with Villa out playing us with 3 in the middle including Coutinho and it has carried on since. To counteract being overloaded in CM we have to sacrifice one up front. 1
vectraman Posted 14 April, 2022 Posted 14 April, 2022 Got to play tighter and harder to get through… Forster KWP. Stephens. Bednarek. Salisu. Peraud. Armstrong. JWP. Romeu. Moi. Broja. Play difficult to get through, play on the break with KWP and Peraud getting forward with their pace, playing in Broja through a stretched Arsenal high defensive line 🤞🤞 4
