Match Day Thread Our beloved Saints -v- The Arsenal - Sunday 10th December, 2017 @ 12pm

There are lots of possible formations/line ups to go with in this game and all the obvious ones I would be happy with. We have a squad filled with players who are much of a muchness and some stand outs. Whatever line up we play I am not massively confident and think we will probably lose, maybe scrape a draw.

I'll go 2-0 Arsenal as a prediction

 

Fors
Pied Yoshi VVD Hoedt Bert
Hojb Romeu Lemina
Redmond
Austin

Maybe MP fancies Long vs the top teams, but also maybe Davis plays. Redmond in for his workrate and counter.

 

I never normally do this, because what's the point?, but

Fraser

Cedric Yoshi VvD Bertrand

Romeu Lemina

Redmond Long Tadic

Austin


Actually, that looks a bit unbalanced, but so has everything else I've tried. It's quite hard to select a current Saints lineup that doesn't look a bit wrong somehow.

 

I woud go with 2 centre forwrads -

Charlie
& Austin

 

First time putting a team in!

Fraser
Ced Wes VVD Bertie
Romeu
Lemina PEH
Redders Gabby Boufal
Austin

with Lemina/PEH as enforcers, but allowed more freedom to go forward and drive. I hope I'm showing my football manager prowess

 

I agree. The whole business of football threads is a waste of time as they do not alter, change or influence anything one single jot. They consume hours and hours of people's time without any productive or influential outcome whatsoever. I therefore do not know why I have even bothered to write this as it will only lead to rude and insulting comments and people will carry on writing posts anyway which proves my point exactly.[/QUOTE]

I want Lemina to score. I've been waiting for the crowd to burst into "Funky Goal, Lemina" for a quarter of a season now!

 

If Pellegrino goes with that formation i hope he doesn't show it to our players on their phone or they're going to have no idea whats going on.

 

Forster hooker, Yoshi and Virgil props, Bertrand scrum half, Romeu fly half, Lemina inside centre etc.

 

"Without a match day thread how will I know what to think or say?" (Godders, S, 2017)

 

Maybe he was using his mobile in the team briefings for the first 11 games and couldn’t understand why the ****wits were not following his instructions...

 

That should have been in blue text.

 

why are we never a saturday fixture

 

If we dont win against arsenal then we would say we were not good enough to beat arsenal
thats not to say we might not have been beat theM on a different day
A DIFFERENT DAY
nevertheless i think we will NOT beat them based on OUR overall team ability
TEAM ABILITY
If we can impROVE MASSIVELY we might beat them BUT we are not going to. NOT THIS DAY

 

You certainly are MMOW, there's 12 players in your team .

 

We're a big team now.

 

If you google Charlie Austin 10 you get some surprising results in the images:

 

Meh and Wid.

 

Eh?
