cambsaint Posted 19 April, 2021 Share Posted 19 April, 2021 It's often said that a working definition of insanity is to carry on doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. I think that Romeu missing has blown Ralph's 442 out of the window. THere's no shame in being mre defensive if it gives results, and our attacking high press certainly isnt any more. IMO its time to go 352 : Forster Salisu Vestergard Bednarek KWP JWP Armstrong Redmond Bertrand Che Ings Would be my prefered team without Romeu. It would partially free JWP from defensive duties and Salisu looks much quicker than most central defenders which would guard against break-aways. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the team we aint going down, the season is over, so lets give more game time to the likes of Tella, Janetwitz and Salisu. Start them all tonight. We need to do something to shake us out of this pathetic run of form. Shame we dont have another left back to instead of Bertrand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconnect Posted 20 April, 2021 Share Posted 20 April, 2021 Ralph has said there'll be changes. I'd be keen to see Minamino given more of a chance IF there is the opportunity to buy him. He's not particularly strong, but can play the right (pressing style of) football, is skillful and can score goals. Of the others I think only KWP and Armstrong should be guaranteed a place (although understand we might rotate Armstrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 20 April, 2021 Share Posted 20 April, 2021 Ralph might as well mix and match for this one. No point in playing our "strongest team" when clearly it has proven itself to be useless anyway. Salisu deserves a shot at it, probably drop Bednarek, give JWP and Ings a rest, time for the youngsters to be given another chance. We can't win anyway so might as well use the opportunity to plan for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many ‘experts’ have since said, his style of management is a thing of the past and he won’t get another top job in the Prem. Still, he’s not a patch on Claude that’s for sure.

captainchris Posted 20 April, 2021 Share Posted 20 April, 2021 Watching the press conferences Ralph was certainly not himself. He looked under pressure to me and damn well should be, until now you could see he felt invincible. I’m not so sure he was as confident today. I hope he is feeling the pressure because for too long it has been a case of untouchable Ralph and therefore no pressure on the team either, that has to change....

IronCitySaint Posted 20 April, 2021 Share Posted 20 April, 2021 Think this will be 0-5, Son hat-trick and a couple for Bale. We have no hope of containing their pace and they will no doubt be more attacking than the past few months. Once the first goal goes in after, let's say 4 minutes, then our lads will simply give up. I would say give some of the peripheral players a chance but they have shown to be as useless as the others when given a chance in previous games. Not really sure it matters who plays tomorrow, tbh, as they probably don't believe they can win regardless. Normally I believe we always have a chance against Spurs but just can't see anything than further embarrassment in this game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 (edited) Ralph seemed almost defeated at his pre-match comments on the OS. Citing the need for a summer overhaul of his squad, he gave the very firm impression that he doesn't really expect to get the sort of backing in the transfer market that he would like to see. Preparing the ground for an exit? His belief in this team seems to have evaporated. If he is not really up for it any more how does he expect his players to perform tonight? His mood will be infectious so if what we saw in this interview is what is happening at Staplewood then expect a lukewarm response tonight. Oh dear, another heavy defeat on the way.

Can predict it now: Forster KWP, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Armstrong, JWP, Diallo, NR/TM/MD Ings, Adams/Walcott.
