Match Day Thread Super, Super Saints v Sunderland, Sat 27 August, 3PM

Tadic substituted.

Novel.

 

Bit of a weird swap, but let's see...

 

4-3-yawning chasm-3?

 

Tadic hasn't done much, tbf.

 

It's been a long time since I've felt uncomfortable watching Saints - the Potch and Koeman era's I always felt confident in matches that we would have enough quality up top and back to see out matches. With the system we're using now, it just feels so scrappy. Frustratingly with Boufal signing, a 4-2-3-1 would suit us perfectly. C'mon Claude...stop playing hard to get and just give it to us.

 

So much booing around me.

 

First decent chances since the first 20 minutes!

 

Now time for the shooting-from-distance portion of the evening.

 

I was told that board had hired more personal security for this weekend... We're they expecting a piss poor boring game.

 

Well the game's livened up a bit.

 

And Redmond's looking better now that he's a midfielder again.

 

How to encourage players to come here , and inspire confidence in the current squad & Manger ..........

 

Playing a lot better....

 

Nice to see Jay playing

 

Jay Rod for Charlie...

 

Come on, Jay!!

 

Gaffer has been brave.....still can't see us putting one away though

 

Just took the sting out of the game!

 

it's getting better...

 

We keep them under pressure like this for the rest of the match, I think we will score.
