What would be gained by continuing with those who have let him down so badly? This is a free hit, we don't expect to win so why not experiment - at least we may learn something. Plus when we get humped we can share the scar tissue around a bit 😉

For that to happen we'd need Scienza and Armstrong to have their brave trousers on. Suspect they'll be inside forwards closer to the wing backs than usual playing against Liverpool

Maybe but the three useless amigos will be back on Saturday for a bit more shit ball heading and crisp packet saves and ball watching from the captain and maybe some bonus hair pulling 1 1

If they show some grit, fight and determination I would expect them to keep their places at the expense of those who have been well below the required standards. 2

Sarnia Cherie Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I hope Will Still delivers his pre-match and half-time talks to the team with more enthusiasm than he has managed in his interview just now. Sounds bored to death. Hope we're not all joining him tonight. 4

Yeah, let’s hope he’s just trying to look and sound nonplussed by playing a ‘big’ club, rather than thinking “oh shit, here we go again”. 1
die Mannyschaft Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Its a stronger team put out by Still. But also a very strong Liverpool side. I was expecting a full U21s side, its a Prem top 6 v Championship botton 6 game. As long as we play out best that's as best we can hope 5 shots, 37% ball, 3 corners, 270 passes, 19 saves, 125 passes back or side. Not sure how many goals for and against
Saint Fan CaM Posted September 23 Posted September 23 As expected, lots of focus gushing praise on Pool…even through AA’s interview.
Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Aggregate score of 28-2 over our last 8 visits to Anfield apparently. I'm banking on a 0-3 away win. 1

obelisk Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I get the idea that ITV consider Saints to be nothing more than cannon fodder for the brilliant, never better, superb Liverpool team who hardly need bother breaking sweat despite getting a freebie to the 3rd round and excused having to play any strong teams on this occasion. 1

adrian lord Posted September 23 Posted September 23 We are in the gorgeous yellow and blue kit. The glorious colours of '76. We will prevail.
saintstowin Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I appreciate it's a throw away pre- match interview, and AA is unlikely to divulge the cutting edge tactics, however I can imagine Still's words of 'get the basics right', 'quality will come through' being accurate, and sadly uninspiring. I really hope we aren't terrible.

Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Phew, ad break finished just before the end of YNWA. Was concerned we'd miss it. 1

obelisk Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Nearly lasted less than a minute. Giving the ball away again.
adrian lord Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Our slow diminutive number 9 bullied off the ball by some giant 'Pool player there nearly led to a goal.

Lighthouse Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Fortunate there Isak blasting it straight at the keeper. End to end start. 2
RedArmy Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Can we just stop letting manning take corners ffs. Straight to an opponent every fucking time
