The defence seriously worries me though. Stephens, Manning and Bree (who I like) but he hasn't played for 2 months.

Dusic Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Would anyone who knows enough about Saints to travel to Liverpool to watch us really be suprised about a selection that was fairly similar to what most had predicted, what the manager has done in previous rounds and what he basically said yesterday it was going to be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Front three is alright to be fair it's just the rest which is a bit of a joke I just don't see why we'd throw Bree into a start immediately, and not playing THB is just suicide really. Get those two in and I'd be alright with it Without them we barely look functional 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyYorkshireSaint Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 That front line has a lot to play for and prove but one can hope. Be good to see Bree back out but throwing him straight out there from the start hopefully won't backfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 1 hour ago, OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint said: Not too sure about the pace of Saint Keef's experienced team up front, but that defence is letting no-one through! Ooo, catty! Actually Saint Keef I have played the lone striker, but more your Adams than your Armstrong whilst I waited for the others to come and give me support. Different from Adams in that I also use my left foot: for passing, tap-ins, chips and crosses. Can't manage laces. Rallyboy, of this 'ere parish can vouch that I've got the build for it! But sadly you have identified my weakness, which is why this season I am playing in goal.. Mind you, I shall do a brisk jog to the pub to watch the game in a few minutes. Can't say I'm hopeful (!) with that line-up.. I'll join the wrist slitting later to use up my last post. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 When I was a nipper the FA cup was held in such regard, so special and prestigious. no one cares anymore. its so devalued as a competition.

I can live with the goalkeeper, who looked competent when he's played. And don't forget Baza's howlers, the most recent just last Saturday. It's Manning and Stephens in place of THB and KWP that's insane. The Liverpool kids, and Gakpo, must be drooling at the prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
