Match Day Thread Saintsy Saints Vs The Gunners - Sunday 23rd October - 2pm

[Gregm1988]

Exactly, it’s so weird people expect us to be any better when everything points to us being exactly where we should be. The PL is an utter **** league for us to be in if you want us to be seriously competing every week

I guess some people are still drunk on the fumes of the Koeman years and haven’t paid attention to the disastrous management and investment strategy since then. Or at least just living in denial having re-set their expectations back then (which they were entitled to do but should probably revise them back now rather than clinging on)

We are several windows like the last away from where we were - if it is even possible (look at where big spending has got Villa and Everton)

Just like I expect there will still be people who lose it should we lose today despite Arsenal having close to a full team and us having 5 of our best players out (one in Adams on the bench due to minor injury issues). All the players out would start today I expect - Livramento, KWP, Lavia, ABK and Adams. And we are playing the side top of the league and in great form

Not too sure what you expected? Adams is the only surprise but with the amount he gave on Wednesday not a big surprise he gets a rest

Tight hamstring I'm hearing.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Maybe the fitness staff have assessed he's fit enough to come off the bench.

In other words he’s not 100%

No point risking him off the bench

Okay we didn’t sign a Romeu replacement or striker. You know what I mean.

We did sign a striker. He’s just not quite at the level we need currently.

 

[Lovelocum]

You say obviously neglected CDM and didn't buy striker. I think attempts were made certainly for a striker and, I think, a CDM. Obviously neglected obviously isn't correct.

Ok we didn’t buy a Romeu replacement or a striker.

Sigh, what is this national pedantry day?

I think everyone knows we didn’t buy the right players in 2 positions.

Alan Smith doesn’t know the difference between Caleta-Car and Lyanco

Looks like it is a back 4 with Lyanco RB.

We kinda did also buy the Romeu replacement before we sold Romeu in Lavia. Just didn’t resolve the lack of depth.

I know what you meant, but there’s a common theme if ‘we didn’t buy a striker” when we did. I’m just in the Mara fan club!

 

[saintrichie123]

Stuey not with it today.

 

[Libby]

This looks a little bit ominous already.

 

[saintrichie123]

Just a matter of time before we concede.

 

[saintrichie123]

And there it is
It’s going to be a long afternoon

 

[Piri Weepu]

Midfield non-existent. Not protecting the defence or showing for the ball.

There’s the first

 

[West Kent Saint]

Predictable to anyone with eyes
