igsey Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Probably not the line up most of us would have gone for, but I'm just glad to see something has changed. Salisu LB or are we doing 3-5-2? That would leave Armstrong or Tella playing LWB... though Ralph will claim afterwards they were playing as a 10 all along! Feel very sorry for Jankewitz if this is 4-2-2-2 and he's on the bench again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Minamino whilst not the best, has scored a couple and is looking to impress so let’s put him on the bench. Forster (and I’m not his biggest fan) has done very little wrong so he’s on the bench. Armstrong, our best attacking option, appears to have been moved to central midfield. At least it’s something different but fuckin hell Ralph !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Salisu at LB unless he is going 3 at the back. They should waltz through the middle of the park - Armstrong is an attacking midfielder not a holding midfielder. Do not understand the recall for Macarthy at all.....Forster has actually done nothing wrong. Hard to say at this stage, based on names. Could it be 3-5-2? Macca Bednarek Vesta Salisu KWP JWP Walcott Armstrong Tella Ings Adams Nah, too radical for Ralph. Salisu at LB in a the usual 4-2-2-2, I would expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 That's for to be three at the back with Tella and KWP as wing backs surely. Armstrong and JWP in cm. Walcott as a 10 and Adams and Ings up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can also go to a bank of 4 or 5 when out of possession. would allow the front 3 to rotate somewhat as well. be interesting to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButtikonSaint Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Same thinking here.. looks like 3 at the back, we need to keep up with Bale and Son so kind of makes sense with two WBs We need to find a solution to our midfield and maybe JWP as the anchor with Theo and Stu as more attacking makes sense (although I'd like to have seen the young Swiss lad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igsey Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Spurs know exactly how to play against our 4-2-2-2, Hojbjerg was the captain that had to run it! Hope it's the back three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 The attacking ability in our line up should at least ensure a few shots on target. Spurs at home was painful back in September, let's not get thrashed again Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard799 Posted 21 April, 2021 Share Posted 21 April, 2021 Seriously losing faith. FF should be in goal, done little wrong. It would not surprise me to see Spurs win, and it pains me. Up to now I've had full faith with RH but slowly seeing lack of tactical idea. Lucky to beat Burnley. Too slow to make changes against WBA. Now drops FF for keeper who is poor at distribution.

I think if Liverpool have said (behind closed doors this is), that Minamino will definitely return to Liverpool, then no point playing him and let’s give someone else the game time. Although might be silly because if Minamino plays well and scores- he could give us valuable prize money! But Ralph obviously seeing different. I will assume this is the same case with Jankewitz. If Ralph doesn’t have him in his plans for next season, then no point playing him. However, the alternative viewpoint albeit unlikely is to give Jankewitz some minutes to put him in the stop window- but something must have happened behind closed doors as Ralph might well have just frozen him out.

FWIW I'm not particularly confident tonight but people have been calling for change, complaining about Bertrand, Diallo, Redmond etc., and when we get a change, whether tactical or personnel it's never acceptable and everybody has their own idea of what should be done. When we do a high press (as with Spurs at home) there are complaints, when we take a conservative approach as in the first half in the semi likewise. We do seem to have difficulty changing gear and upping the tempo. Oh well.. off to find a stream and finish my second G&T.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
