Pamplemousse Posted 16 May, 2022 Share Posted 16 May, 2022 Good that Forster isn't playing. Decent shot stopper but that's it. McCarthy on his day is a far better all-round keeper. Hopefully he's put his bad form behind him and he'll come back stronger, we'll need him tomorrow. Now just got to hope that Salisu and Bednarek are left out too.

Saint J 77 Posted 16 May, 2022 Share Posted 16 May, 2022 Even though the pressure is now off the players I don’t see anything changing. We are so poor right now. I fully expect a high scoring win for Liverpool. Tomorrow will be all about damage limitation and keeping the score respectable for us. Liverpool will always have looked at this fixture as a guaranteed 3 points. I reckon they will be confident of of high scoring win. I just hope it’s not embarrassing for Saints again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's more Ralph's Champions league final than the clubs - I can't see him having said this if our last home game was against Palace for example.

We'd want a certain amount to make it worth our while - and a transfer fee for a player that can walk for free next summer will always be appreciated - but who has the funds to cover that fee and his wages? Not good business to sell. Apart from him being a fine professional, he’s excellent at ball retention, which we are hardly shining lights at. Will be disappointed if he goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 17 May, 2022 Share Posted 17 May, 2022 The fact they have a few out gives me hope, plus the fact our players do seem to love raising their game against the top sides (generally speaking, a few horrific results aside).

Saint Fan CaM Posted 17 May, 2022 Share Posted 17 May, 2022 (edited) This is my last home game as a season ticket holder of many years (retirement means a few financial restraints), so I hope we put up a really good fight. I would love this game of all games to be an upset…at least a draw. Unfortunately I don’t see this game as being one to remember for the right reasons. I think Ralph doesn’t have the team to beat Pool or the tactical nouse to overcome Klippity…think he’s largely a spent force here, with the caveat that I understand this summer will see some real investment in the squad, so who knows he might still have some chance of building a decent legacy? In reality I think we’ll see more of the same attempt at possession football, the sideways and backwards stuff with little penetration up front, a couple of golden chances spurned by under-performing strikers and a complete dogs breakfast of a defensive display because Forster will be dropped and all semblance of order at the back will be given up. I fully expect 4+ goals from Pool and no response from our lot. The only hope is that their team has a lot of changes which disrupts them and they’re so focussed on getting a result, they forget we can actually play good football on our day. Yeah, we’ll need the lube. Edited 17 May, 2022 by Saint Fan CaM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, events at the weekend were such that they only have a small chance of winning the league now and the huge goal swing scenario is such an outside bet that it's almost irrelevant. I expect they are coming to win 2-0 or something (which their remaining players are still more than capable of) to retain a crumb of hope on final day. Still, let's hope that we put a shift in and end their hopes (which we are also more than capable of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 17 May, 2022 Share Posted 17 May, 2022 (edited) Fabinho, Robertson also doubts apparently. I mean if there ever was a time to beat them its after they had to play extra-time 3 days ago, with their eyes on Champs league final and have basically most of their first team out. Still think we will lose though, just want to see a committed performance and some fight, all this talk about finishing the highest possible in the league but we have basically been on the beach for weeks.
