obelisk Posted 7 May, 2022 Posted 7 May, 2022 Hopefully other teams will have dropped sufficient points to make Saints mathematically safe by the time the Liverpool game arrives. If not then the atmosphere could be pretty sour for this last home game of the season. Can't bear to look at MotD. Have they mentioned the R-word following the latest Saints surrender?

I mean, it won’t happen, and we’d lose anyway, but maybe not by a hammering. Have you seen their reserves!

macca155 Posted 7 May, 2022 Posted 7 May, 2022 They may well respond positively if the trap door looks wider after tomorrow's results. He says hopefully. The same team (somehow) managed to draw against or beat City, Utd, WHU, Arse, Leicester and Spurs. So they are perfectly capable of grinding out a couple of draws. I'd go with Forster KWP Stephens Lyanco Perraud Romeu JWP Smallbone Adams Armstrong Pretty uninspiring side but crucially 3 in midfield. They need to be aggressive and up for a fight. Possibly 3 at the back with Salisu but they need to defend properly, whatever team plays.
Saint_clark Posted 7 May, 2022 Posted 7 May, 2022 -------------Forster ----Stephens Salisu Bednarek KWP -----Romeu JWP ----Perraud --S. Armstrong Adams Broja Three forwards to press the backline, two high energy defensive mids to help out the defense and high stamina fullbacks providing the width with a bit more security behind them to allow them to push forward. Bednarek plays better when he's left sided, pretty sure he plays there for Poland too. It shouldn't have taken us so long to figure it out and I doubt Ralph has, but it's absolutely the case.

Cabrone Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 It's the other games we should be concerned about, this one is a no brainer.
AlexLaw76 Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 We will play 442 or 532. Either way we will play 2 up top and surrender the midfield. 2
Pilchards Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 Klopp ‘Okay keep it tight at the back as they will huff and puff for 10 minutes. Stroke it around in midfield as they will have two players running around like headless chickens. Target Bednarek as he’s fucking shit and don’t give away any free kicks around our box. Once we go 2 up push for more as the wheels will have fallen off by then.’ 3

Not sure I can sit through us getting hammered while watching Liverpool fans celebrate being a step closer to the title. You can't do that mate, you'd miss out clapping the players on their "lap of appreciation " 👏 😆

DT Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 Liverpool will be fired up to go for goal difference. Honestly think 10-0 is not out of the question

Honestly think 10-0 is not out of the question Optimist in me thinks of the last time they went desperately for a goal difference increasing win while chasing the league and Palace ended up coming back from 3-0 down to draw. We have that same level of fight...don't we...? 2

They have Villa and Chelsea before us so is it too much to hope they'll be knackered??? You would think that with 68% of their squad having asthma (when the average is 12% of the country) that they will be struggling. 😉 Edited 8 May, 2022 by Dr Who?

Leeds lose to Chelsea, I would say it is game over. Saying this I cannot see Burnley getting 6 points either. Ok it’s football so possible but I just cannot see both these teams catching us. Everton I can see being above us by the time we play Liverpool.

Lee On Solent Saint Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 Have to play five across the back or five across the middle. Two up top will just be mental. 3

Dark Munster Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 5 hours ago, DT said: Liverpool will be fired up to go for goal difference. Honestly think 10-0 is not out of the question We could well be safe by the time our match starts. Or if not, Liverpool could be out of it (dropping points against Villa, with City winning 2 out of 2), and not care about our result, yet alone goal difference. I think the only case where Liverpool would want to give us a good Rogering is if they and City win their next matches before playing us (Liverpool one match, City two). Then Liverpool would be 6 points behind City, and would need to beat us by a big enough margin to get close to City's goal difference, and then hope that City lose their last match and they win theirs. Even in that worst case scenario Liverpool would probably only need to beat us by at most 5 or 6, and win their last match by one goal.

Thanks Masochist! 😝 I agree though with others above I can't see any other result than a Liverpool tonking. Keeping the score down will feel like a good result. Hopefully with important games to come they do us a favour and take their foot off the gas when they're three up. If Ralph wins this I'll give him my full support for the rest of his tenure. 😏 Leicester look as if they've checked out for the season, so maybe a point on the last day isn't impossible.

farawaysaint Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 I have never been less confident going into a football game to be honest 🤣
spyinthesky Posted 8 May, 2022 Posted 8 May, 2022 Wonder how many Liverpool fans will be in home ends and corporate areas?
skintsaint Posted 9 May, 2022 Posted 9 May, 2022 Dreading this one especially in our current form, wouldn't be a surprise to lose by at least 4 here if we defend like we have after the last few games. Of course would love to really cock up their title bid but would be a brave man to bet on that.
Vancouver Saint Posted 9 May, 2022 Posted 9 May, 2022 Well, assuming Liverpool are still in the title race, I don't know how many they will score - anywhere between 4-10 depending on how much effort they want to put it - but we will be nil.
