Ha. This is going to make for spectacular viewing. What odds can I get on Saints first forward pass being in the second half and us breaking the world record for number of tackles in a game?
Really surprised to see Vincent start for them. When was the last time he played two games in a week. Without getting injured.
To be fair, I don't think Pep is expecting Vincent to need to do much defending tonight. He could probably start himself at CB, if he wanted.
Not if those players have been told they're playing against Bmouth. For me, tonight can just be swept under the carpet. Just ignore it, and treat Bmouth as the next game post Everton. If we see a vastly different team against Bmouth compared to against Everton, then I would suggest there's reason for players to get the hump etc.
They played the last ten minutes against Everton in this firmation. Crucial that the full backs get forward to give us any chance of getting up the pitch
what's the record in the premiership for possession %? I will admit to being underwhelmed at the moment. Still City have to lose one day and Shane has to score one day COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!!
Yes I know. My disappointment isn't necessarily logical but if I were Boufal, Austin or JWP I'd be a bit hacked off. These are the games they all want to play in and i think they deserve the chance.
