Liverpool 3-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint Garrett]

My punt...

Lumley

KWP THB Bednarek Meghoma

Charles Downes Aribo

Arma Adams Dibling

 

Any of Bazunu, Manning, Bree, Stephens, Smallbone, Stuey, Rothwell, Mara, Sulemena, Edozie could play though. Depends how many changes Martin wants to make.

Lottery...

I was just behind the Arsenal goal when their goalie snapes Fishers leg. I went out at 90 degrees to his body. Horredous

Yup. I remember it well. I definitely heard the crack of breaking bone from the Archers Road end.

[Saint Keef]

Right.....based on the fact that "kids never win anything" I've gone for "extreme experience" and our strongest possible line-up.....

 

                           Saint Garret (sorry mate - no idea if you've ever played in goal, but we're only playing a bunch of kids)

Hypo  -   Trousers  -  Whitey Grandad   -   Convict Colony

                    CB Fry - Saint Keef (If my knees hold up!)

         Turkish  -   Pamplemouse  -  Holmes & Watson (that maybe two players....they'll never notice)

                                  Sue Whistle (sorry mate - no idea if you've ever played as a lone striker, but give it go. We're only playing a bunch of kids)

For those of you who didn't make this team, you are still valuable members of the squad and I'm sure your opportunity will come.

COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!!

[Saint Matty 76]

I want us to go for it, with a couple of changes in players who deserve an opportunity in the cup. Keep the important core players in there - KWP, THB, Bednarek, Downes (if fit).

Lumley
KWP - THB - Bednarek - Meghoma
Rothwell - Downes - Aribo
Arma - Adams - Sulemana

I/We made the team...

Stay calm...look composed...epitomise that cool poster style...

Squuuueeeeeee!

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Not too sure about the pace of Saint Keef's experienced team up front, but that defence is letting no-one through!

That said, with the current squad I really want RM to go out and field his best team. If he rests players, then rest all of them. Don't do a half-way house.

Agree with this team. Don't think he'll risk Downes though but we'll see. 

[Saint NL]

Interesting to see who is in goal, Martin might let Bazunu play against his Irish counterpart.

1 0 Saints

I hope we go strong for this game - if Liverpool really are struggling for experienced players, then let’s go for it. See how our playing style does up against a decent side. I’m hopeful we can give them a tough game and cause an upset 🤞

Saints to win 2-1. COYR 😇

Exactly this for me. Hoping we go pretty strong for this and give it our best shot. 2-1 to us - Adams and Sulemana to score - COYR 🙂

What's the point in us turning up with that team? 

[Saint_clark]

Martin you are a cunt. We could have made a real go of it at full strength. Utter prick.

[Saint Matty 76]

Really disappointed with that

[trousers]

Stu Armstrong nowhere to be seen 

[Saint Matty 76]

United at OT if we get through

[gammon cheeks]

Not the best team ...and thats being polite .

Bizarre.

What the hell is that team!

On what planet is Rothwell good enough for our midfield!!!! Charles will suffer like hell now playing single handed….

[Osvaldorama]

Drawn against United next round. 
 

May as well play the reserves tbf. We’re not going through both Liverpool & United.  

[LGTL]

Fuck me Russ. I mean I couldn’t really care but at least try mate 😂

[Master Bates]

He has a cunning plan, keep our better players for the second half and extra time

[Convict Colony]

Confirmed win for us based on the consensus above

[saintant]

Not very confident with that line-up. Think RM could have been much braver. Could be a scrappy affair and they'll probably have enough to beat us. Disappointed. 

[whelk]

Well all the cunts that wanted to sack this off will be happy

If we can beat Liverpool, forest can beat man utd. If we go through, it could easily be forest away.

Where was the draw?? Completely missed it 

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Oh dear, he's not been brave after all. He'll better get automatic promotion after putting out that defence.

That said, I don't mind that attack for a counter-attack. 

[Harry_SFC]

Let's be honest, we are pretty nailed on for the play offs, so this is disappointing. A shame we aren't playing a better side because although their line up is still decent, it's not world beating. 

[saintant]

What are we not being told about Downes injury?

[hypochondriac]

Is that our weakest starting 11 of the season? I think so. 

[whelk]

Actually second look at that side and looks better than I initially thought

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Maybe on reflection, seeing that Liverpool team, he probably wishes he went stronger.

[trousers]

Anyone know if Downes is still "close"...?

If he isn't back in the team on Saturday then something is surely up. Martin keeps saying he will be back but he isn't even appearing on the bench.

I don't think its worth risking him tonight if he's not 100%

Fingers crossed he'll be back for Saturday or it will seem suspect.

It’s awful. Martin is really starting to piss me off. Decision making and personality.

Downes will be back for Saturday I'm certain of that 🙂
