saint97 Posted 2 January, 2021 Share Posted 2 January, 2021 Looks like another game without the Ings-Adams partnership. Big blow, hopefully he doesn't go with Long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll knock it around a bit and take at least 50% possession, but ultimately not score because of the ponderously slow build-up play allowing 11 men to get behind the ball. They’ll hit us on the break...0-1 at HT with the remainder coming as we try to catch the game. We just don’t have the quality I the team to match them.

Saint Garrett Posted 2 January, 2021 Share Posted 2 January, 2021 He’s looking a bit tired, so might not be the worst idea him having a rest for a week. Missing McCarthy, Vestergaard, Redmond and Adams though, might mean we’re not strong enough to cause an upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing McCarthy, Vestergaard, Redmond and Adams though, might mean we’re not strong enough to cause an upset. My thoughts too, I posted the other day I thought Che looked tired, and certainly wasn't himself after being booted in the head. Personally for pace I'd slot Walcott up next to Ings and maybe even play Diallo in a more advanced role but I suspect Long will start. I don't dislike Long but his day has gone, if he ever really had a day. There weren't too many. However we gave him a new 2 year contract so it seems the Long/Ings partnership will have to do. The pessimist in me has escaped... Liverpool will win this, despite their recent form, I just have a feeling. Just make it respectable Saints. 3-1 wouldn't be a bad defeat. All players need to work their bollocks off as we only have the Shrewbury game in a fortnight after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 2 January, 2021 Share Posted 2 January, 2021 Safest bet must surely be an away win for this game. As such, would take a sneaky draw all day long. Either way, one just hopes it's a close result rather than a drubbing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 3 January, 2021 Share Posted 3 January, 2021 Long and Ings is a very different proposition from Long and Adams so I don't think Long coming in would be too catastrophic if Ings is fit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be disappointed if Ralph was to mislead us in n that way, I think he’s better than that. I also don’t the Vestagard is the type to go on a sulky strike either.
