Match Day Thread cattivi contro Santi , Venerdì 16 Settembre, ore 20.00

Elyounoussi is undroppable then.

 

Unsure about this team

 

Hang on, AMN isn't in the squad. Is he inured?

 

I do feel its is because he is not as good coming on later if we need him. Strange though. But with 5 subs this is what will happen.

 

Would prefer a bit more dynamism in the starting lineup than that, honestly.

 

Hmm. Not what I would have done, but Ralph is keen on his starter/finisher teams.

 

Only two of the summer newbies in the XI then.

 

I saw Ralph quoted as saying that AMN needs to learn to do the hard work, things he didn’t use to have to do at Arsenal.
Don’t know if that has anything to do with it or if he has picked up a knock.

 

Coutinho starts for them (as does Martinez, surprise surprise).

 

I think this is exactly the reason

 

Well, that's a thoroughly disappointing starting line up. No Mara, Aribo, S.Armstrong or Edozie? Going to get behind the boys anyway, but i sure hope Ralph knows what he's doing!

 

Hmm.

 

I saw someone post on Saintsweb that Aribo hasn’t trained all week

 

Not confident based on that lineup and what happened in this fixture last year.

 

Young at RB. Has to be something we look to exploit.

 

Yes, with Edozie. Oh wait, he's on the bench.

 

Baffled by this, prove me wrong lads.

 

Alien hatrick?

 

The 5 subs mean mid-lower teams start with their second 11 (exaggeration) and then morph into their first 11 if it doesn't go well.

`top teams no one really notices.
