Match Day Thread Los Zorros contra Los Santos 20th Agosto ko 15.00

Can I just say that LTL seems to be getting the plaudits for changing his underpants, Ralph for ditching the 5 at the back, what about me ditching the dishwasher game?

To be honest I think we all knew the dishwasher game was superstitious nonsense but LTL's underpant strategy has something real about it.

 

[letissier86]

No, don’t. Otherwise we won’t narrow down where the change was needed, which could easily lead to a mid season slump. If we lose today, it’s not my pants, so you’ll need to make the change for the United game.

Well that worked out rather well!

I honestly think we can get something from Manchester United next weekend.

 

[Archers Road]

Well Chilc's, I really hope you are right. Too much noise for this all to be rumours IMO but we would be foolish to sell right now. January, once the new signings are better settled, team are in the top 10, Che is in double figures and the asking price has gone up 10 million, I could deal with that!

Not sure noise has ever been synonymous with substance, but we’ll see. We would indeed be foolish to sell.

White shorts make the home kit a thing of beauty. Black shorts just don’t work.

Just as long as you accept the criticism if we ever drop any points

Are you writing off the Carabao Cup game against Cambridge, then, or is it a foregone conclusion?

Completely forgot about it, who is doing the thread?

I think Mr Lemons is volunteering

Brilliant, brilliant result and a terrific defensive performance (they had one shot on target all game).

All the talk will (rightly) be about ABK (beast mode activated), Lavia (wow) and Che, but I actually want to at least give a massive shout out, if not MOTM, to the shift that Moussa put in. Solid defensively and exciting going forwards. Well done fella.

Sounds like we may actually have another EPL standard LWB on our hands
Credit to Moussa, Ralph and the coaching team

0.26xG seems like a pretty damn good defensive display against a talented forward line!

And exceeding our xG is not very Saintsy so let’s hope this is new Saintsy

Hey, it’s not cava

Cava?
Freixenet Cordon Negro
Better than Prosecco

Now, you see I don't think it's a coincidence that subs have made big impacts in our last 2 games. Ralph kept Aribo back last week, this week it was Stuey and Che. The bench, with 5 subs now available, is going to play a big part for all teams this season. As stupid as this sounds, starting with all your best players isn't necessarily the way to go.

You need impact players on the bench
We’ve been beaten by this tactic before and now we’re winning with it

We’ve also gone through periods where we looked at the bench and there was no one you’d bring on to change the game. An example would be Elyounoussi (who arguably isn’t good enough for the squad anyway). But he is basically a waste of a bench space if he is not starting as he is never going to change the game in a short period of time. He might have a positive effect if he starts however

My wife does personalised decorated bottles of Freixenet as gifts, a few a week usually, has been doing them for years.
We met Jean-Cristophe Mau a few years ago, who was the top guy in the group that owned the brand and he reckoned she was the largest private buyer of Freixenet in the UK

It's not a bad tipple to be honest, and prefer it to most Prosecco

I prefer Prosseco to Champagne.

 

[Schrodinger's Cat]

I prefer Prosseco to Champagne.

I can understand that perfectly as I'm the same...except for when you get your hands on a special champagne and you get that perfect buttered toast scent.
English Sparkling wine is probably the best in the world these days though.

 

[West Kent Saint]

I prefer Prosseco to Champagne.

Me too.

I think it's time to stop mocking the Salisu throw ins. Not only is he getting more length on them - our first goal seemed to come straight off the training ground. JWP looked straight at the bench when Adams scored. It's a genuine weapon now.
