Why is everyone moaning about the opposition? They're doing what they need to do to win, which is really what we should be doing. What does anyone want them to do ffs? We finished seventh in the PL, they are Danish champions. We should win this 10 times out of 10. We need to finish our chances and complete our passes. Zero excuses, even with the players out we have. We're a goal down - that should't be it at all for this game. Sadly for Saints, it is it far too many times. Hope today isn't, but whatever, it isn't the opposition or the ref's fault here. This is qualifying, not the Europa proper. I have faith we'll do this, but am not impressed at all with the strategy, formation, or much on the pitch. Can't complain if we lose this. What we don't need is extra time and still lose, so two goals please, or I fancy Norwich on Sunday. Tadic - here he comes. If ever we need a decent performance from him it's now. Come on, baby, let's see those abs!
We're also doing exactly what FCM want us to do. They're big, they're physical, and they can deal with the ball being thumped in to traffic.
I know. I'm talking about 4231. Actually I'm talking about every shape in all honesty. I'd play Cedric over Martina no matter what.
That could have been given on edge of our box. Not even in the area, though, so not sure why Perry said it could have been given as a pen.
