Pre Match Pre Match - Saints (A) - Worthington Cup QF - Weds 20:00

[Hansern]

I’ve just noticed spuds vs scum tomorrow. That could be helpful for us come Sunday.

11-11 in goals and injuries.

 

[Modo]

No one has considered that maybe we're playing with 3 at the back?

 

[Shay_K]

The weather looks filthy

 

[darkstarexodus]

I see that Palace are employing the Monaco defence against Arsenal's corners

Well, that's Arteta out of ideas. And maybe a job.

The Nicholas Jover statue is getting destroyed as we speak.

 

[Hansern]

Trent - Quansah - Endo - Gomez was the correct set up. Makes the most sense as well.

Modo ftw

Nope 3 at the back

Looks like that so far. Surprisingly, Macca actually plays at #10.

 

[SummerOnions]

The ball is barely moving off the pitch

 

[SummerOnions]

What's this formation? Kinda a 3-2-4-1?

 

[SummerOnions]

Some shite play on both sides already

 

[Hansern]

Nope 3 at the back

3 at the back in possession.

 

[Markeh]

i wonder will bree and cheesie go head to head in the second half

 

[Shay_K]

So no VAR tonight

 

[dogboy]

Is there a stream for this? @Modo

 

[rurikbird]

Feels like a training exercise. Trying to get used to the new formation and the weather.

 

[rurikbird]

I would definitely keep Jota on the bench in this weather.

1 min

 

[Shay_K]

So much for the English Riviera

 

[SummerOnions]

3 at the back in possession.

Now it's 2 at the back

 

[SummerOnions]

I like that Slot is using every excuse to figure out which formations we can use in build up and changing them within minutes if he doesn't like them

 

[Shay_K]

Looks as if Saints are leaving Archer up front all on his lonesome

 

[Squiggles]

I'm glad he's resting and all, but is football without Gravenberch worth watching? Juries out.

do it for trey

 

[rurikbird]

I suspect this formation is designed to maximize our numbers in high pressing, to take advantage of Saints’ shakey build-up, but so far we only pressed properly a couple of times. Weather playing a part for sure.

 

[Hansern]

I would definitely keep Jota on the bench in this weather.

The sad thing is it looks like no one has told Darwin the game has started.

 

[Squiggles]

Saints cheering every proper clearance is low key hilarious.

 

[Hansern]

Elliott has been awful so far.

 

[Fabio]

Elliott has been awful so far.

True. Then again everyone's been a bit terrible
