It'll be interesting if Tall Paul comes on...though there seems to be a queue of strikers on the bench and I can't see him jumping that queue. Would like to have seen KWP in the line up but otherwise that seems a fair starting team. Let's see if Cornet does anything in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Reckon Russ is banking on packing midfield to go in at the break 0-0. All to play for in the 2nd half - 60th minute change to 3-2-5 to flood their box. Genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SambaMaverick Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) So much wrong with our 'recruitment' this summer How's Fraser - who wasn't even first choice in the Championship - swanned into the team with no proper pre-season? Why aren't we playing a proper number nine despite signing two? Why are there four forwards on the bench? Why isn't there a centre-half on the bench? One injury and we're playing rubix cube trying to fix it. Edwards and Wood clearly aren't good enough - why sign them? That side gets rolled over by our team from last season, let alone in the Premier League. I realise this is negative half an hour before a game, but fuck me, the state of it.

Scoobysaint Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Fernandes is the key for me this evening. With FD and Big Les holding, he has free roam to do whatever he pleases. He has Cornet to close their defenders down and the wingers to shut their FBs ups. He could thrive if he gets the space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Tonight's triple sub will be Stewart, Lallana and Brereton-Diaz on at around 60 minutes. The latter will play out wide again.

There will be no sub in extra time because we’ll be behind and Russ will be far to busy writing the script to his after-match interview explaining how brave we were, how delighted he was with 60% possession and he enjoyed learning so much from the game.

BARCELONASAINT Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 well no surprise that no matter what Russ puts out is immediately shouted down by most on here and everyone is bitching before the ball is even kicked.

Farmer Saint Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Don't tend to look at this too much but was looking at it earlier for our shots per game, but expected goals shows just how shit our strikers are compared to the other teams around us.

SfcPhil Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Martin can't have much time left, especially if we lose tonight. Next up Arsenal away (loss) then Leicester at home (would be a must win game) and Man City away (loss). I think he'll be lucky to be our manager on 2nd November when Everton come to town. That being said, could another manager keep this squad up? It's definitely in the bottom three in terms of Premier League quality, but would a change in manager give us the fight to scrap out the points needed for survival? I'm not convinced.
