TRO Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 3 hours ago, WakefieldVillan said: I know it won't happen and we will probably start the same team as last night but I'd mix the midfield up and get some fresh legs in. Nakamba didn't put a foot wrong against Newcastle and although these are a much better side I think he can more than hold his own and get through the dirty work. Barkley has had a long time out and then a few games in a short space of time, so I'd have him on bench and bring him on in the last 30, hopefully fired up. Trez on to give us a bit more protection to Cash, get him at full tilt for 60 then, as with Barkley, look to bringing on AEG or Bertrand. I think the starting eleven is a bit more conservative but I don't see that as a bad thing for this one. Let's be solid, hardworking, be at least 0-0 after 60 and not be 4-0 down, then push on for the win with fresh subs. Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Targett Nakamba McGinn Ramsey Trez Watkins Grealish Heaton, Hause, Engels, Samson, Luiz, Barkley, Davis, Traore, El Ghazi. has he brought Delila with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) No way will Ramsey starts. Wouldnt mind sacrificing Barkley and bringing in Nakamba allowing Mcginn to play a more attacking role. Otherwise same team. Barkley could be useful coming off the bench. Thought he played well first half and his link-up play with Grealish was a joy to watch.

Yeah definitely, I saw some highlight vids but I’ve no idea what he plays like. At the very least he might get a few mins as a sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) This is huge for our season. We're on the cusp of being a solid top-half team. We could easily slip to being one of the better of the rest. We can finish above some serious sides this season if we can eliminate errors and start taking the points we're earning. I'd take a point here, no doubt. I would start Sanson over Barkley. Edited January 28, 2021 by Tomaszk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Looks like they may be withour bertrand, walker peters and vestergaard. 3 very good players for them this season. They'll likely bring in valery at rb - can see him getting sent off if up against jack. Headless chicken. Vestergaard is z monster in the air so big loss for them if out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Saints fans seem to be bricking it about a potential Valery vs Grealish matchup. The consensus is to switch Ward-Prowse to RB while KWP is out because Valery is that bad. Bertrand looks like he'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Tough game to predict. I just hope we continue to play well and take the game to them, hopefully we can win more than we lose if we cut out the odd sloppy defensive lapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 If Barkley and Traore starts i see us having very little chance getting anything out of this game. Only thing i question is Trez fitness levels. If he can't start then that's fair enough and unfortunate and Traore will have to do. But Sanson in for Barkley is a no brainer in my mind.

Vestergaard is z monster in the air so big loss for them if out Both FBs they had were a significant downgrade v Arsenal, Vokins at left back had a nightmare v Saka so it's certainly an area we can exploit if we can get control of the midfield area which is always a problem v these. I did read Bertrand was only suspended v Arsenal but good news for us if he's injured aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
