Match Day Thread MCFC vs little old Saints - 8/10/22 3pm

[st_brendy]

With two big games coming up for us next, I wouldn't be against Ralph bringing off some of our most important players at some point. Maybe around 70 mins.

I think that the Saints fans in the ground should start taunting the opposition with chants like: "Is that all you've got" and "You're nothing special, we lose every week", just to wind up City, which will obviously mean that City players will become nervous/annoyed/ over-confident, thus allowing Saints to score three unanswered goals. So, if we win, you heard it here first.

As plans go, it's more tactically sound than anything Ralph has ever offered so might be worth a punt.

I don’t know what that young lady was saying about the game, but I could watch her every game (instead of the football).

Sorry, I know City are great. But we are making it so easy for them.

We’re not even as good as we were last season.

Should have spent the Mara money getting Gakpo over the line.

The 'Nil' is taken as read

That wasn't too bad in all honesty.

Guess Ralph feels the same as he's made no changes

You bring up that Gakpo point as if you are pretty confident that it would have worked. I’m over 90% sure it would have made no difference. Leeds outbid us and he turned them down. He was expecting to go to Man United and didn’t want to settle. I doubt an extra 10m into the deal would have made a difference

 

[San Tejón]

So many of our problems come from the lack of protection being given to the FBs.
Last week Larios was overloaded with Everton always having an unmarked man at the back post.
Today, despite that last goal coming from an unmarked player on our left, KWP has been put through the grinder.

Well, you've stopped Haaland scoring, so there is that.

 

[Osvaldorama]

Nope, I triple captained him on FPL so it was actually me that stopped him

 

[San Tejón]

Well, you've stopped Haaland scoring, so there is that.

It was the idiot mittens that did it.
Salisu not wearing his this half and Haaland almost got through to tap one in.

Cheers 4-0 now.

This is like being back at school watching year 11 vs. Year 9 on

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

It is what it is.

Bringing on Elyounoussi and Djenepo should be a sackable offence

Well then someone else who would have improved our attack.

 

[Osvaldorama]

Well then someone else who would have improved our attack.

Yeah we needed someone to come in straight away. Signing a youngster who clearly Ralph feels is nowhere near ready is totally unacceptable

 

[Big Ern]

Well, you've stopped Haaland scoring, so there is that.

for 65 mins.
