Saint Matty 76 Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 (edited) Off the back of a win, with a few players playing well off the bench. AMN ineligible so Diallo in who played brilliantly. Bazunu KWP - DCC - Salisu - Perraud JWP - Diallo Aribo - S. Armstrong - Edozie Adams Just a Europa midweek game for Arsenal, so you'd assume a few of their main players will have a full weeks rest.

Master Bates Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 After the last 2 performances and results, the least I'd expect is a 3 0 win for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 19 October, 2022 Author Share Posted 19 October, 2022 A little less pressure on this after a much needed 4 points in the last two may play into our favour a bit. If we play as badly as we have over the past 5/6 games though, it should still be the end of Ralph. Lavia, ABK, and potentially KWP out(?) means I'd be surprised to see a Chelsea/United level performance, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 KWP being fit will be the difference between losing by 2 goals and losing by 5. Who the hell plays right back if he's out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 So assuming KWP is out, what’s our options? - Flat 4, Perraud RB, Larios LB - Flat 4, Lyanco RB - Back 3, Perraud and Larios wing backs - Back 3, gamble on Elmo or Diallo at RWB - Something else? We don’t have the luxury of shifting JWP from CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Now I've remembered that AMN cannot play against Arsenal...! Supposedly Larios can play both sides, so maybe he will come in at right and Perraud continues at LB. Like you say we don't have enough in CM to be moving people around, and given we'll be without Lavia the only option we have alongside JWP is Diallo - so we can't afford moving either of those imo.

The Cat Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 We'll probably go 3 at the back with Larios and Perraud as full backs. I don't really see any other options unless we give Payne a debut or play Moi there but his lack of pace is a real problem in that position. No doubt we'll lose because they are an excellent side this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Might as well give Payne a game given the lack of options. Wonder if we should go 5 at the back as our wide midfield options are awful and our cb’s look decent for once.

Turkish Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 (edited) We are on a great run, the boys will be full of confidence and will be up for this one. take out the Man City game and we’ve only conceded 4 goals in our last 5 games, that equals 30 goals against over a full season which would have given us the third best defensive record in 21-22 season. Plus we usually score at home and seem to have Arsenals number. Plus we unbeaten at home against a team from London in 16 games, all things point to hard fought battling win, 2-0 saints 3 points and another clean sheet.

SNSUN Posted 20 October, 2022 Share Posted 20 October, 2022 Tough to see past an Arsenal win, they've looked very good this season. Injuries amounting for us aren't helping. How important the win tonight was to take the pressure off this game. We may lack quality but we still have heart and fight. Personally I think that if KWP is out and as AMN is unavailable against his parent club, we're going to struggle to fit a square peg in a round hole at right back. We could play Lyanco there, but that would leave no CB option on the bench (Lancashire!). We could put JWP there but as him and Diallo will be our only fit available CMs, we can't do that. We could play Moi there like last night, but I'm not comfortable with that, he's not quick enough. Perraud moving across (at least he thinks like a full back) with Larios left back is one of the better solutions but still risky. If we play 4 at the back, I think we have to bring in Payne for this one. Hope he can do a "Chris Baird in the FA Cup final of 2003". The only other option is to play 3 CBs with Lyanco, DCC and Salisu, then have a more attacking RWB... Djenepo? SArmstrong? WALCOTT? 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 20 October, 2022 Share Posted 20 October, 2022 Although we have taken a handy 4 points from two games the performances have been shiite. We will sit back against Arsenal but they have top quality and will just blast 3 or 4 past us. Hope to be wrong of course but we are not tactically any good at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted 20 October, 2022 Share Posted 20 October, 2022 We’ll need more presence in midfield for this one for sure. Diallo and Armstrong ahead of JWP maybe. Will be Che leading the line and A Armstrong deeper on the left you’d have thought. We know Ralph wouldn’t dream of dropping him but I’d rather see someone with some pace in Moi’s position. We need to have an out ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpin4rizeal Posted 20 October, 2022 Share Posted 20 October, 2022 (edited) Be good for diallo to get some more time I like him. One of the problems at the moment for us is Ralph is practically picking a very slow team with no mobilty only really AA and kwp can carry the ball ..diallo is very agile and mobile and can get us up the pitch which is something we are crying out for imo could also point out ward prowse slows the game down too, we have too much of this .so hoping he shines and starts nailing down a place Edited 20 October, 2022 by pimpin4rizeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanlee Posted 20 October, 2022 Share Posted 20 October, 2022 If we can put 90 mins together then we are capable of giving most including Arsenal a game, the issue we haven't done that for what seems like ages . Hopefully off the back of a win, the players will gain in confidence and this will counter act the coaches wisdom. If we don't concede early, iam optimistic for a draw..

saintant Posted 21 October, 2022 Share Posted 21 October, 2022 Until Lavia returns I wonder if Lyanco could play a role in front of the back 4. We need a physical presence there and he clearly has a bit of skill on the ball. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 21 October, 2022 Share Posted 21 October, 2022 One thing the Bournemouth game proved was that we can score (e.g. when Che gets himself into the perfect position). But it also showed that we’re still not resilient after going ahead and all over the place defensively…it just so happened that Bournemouth were worse than us in attack. And that means we’ve not really improved in terms of team performance. And Ralph is still tactically missing something. For the reasons above, plus some key missing players I see nothing but another big defeat on the cards. 4-0 Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
