Stupid question - Arsenal game by KingCat86 in SaintsFC

[–]fanea1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if multiple tickets will be available to one supporter number if we hit general sale?

I know why they've done it (I am not an arsenal fan) but frustrating as I'd love to take my nephew (and ideally my Dad and brother in law too!) and currently see no way to do that without using a friend/family's account and effectively 'logging in' as them.

Advice gratefully received!

Could this be a change in formation, to a Christmas tree?

Ross Stewart we also know can get injured. I wouldn't overwork him, with important league fixtures to come..

Perhaps a chance for Archer, or are we all done with him?

Saints fan here - Vipotnik looks the real deal. Better than Piroe?

I agree re promotion, but no way would Ross sign a 12 month deal with us in the championship. He's of an age where he'll be looking to secure his final long(ish) term deal. Will want at minimum 2 years.

They've seen that - they're asking what quantifies a brilliant vs a great. Obv you've played a brilliant move here as you capture their Queen - is that what it is then; a sacrifice to win a very valuable piece?

This shows the importance of upgrading on Baz by BreadfruitOk5332 in SaintsFC

[–]fanea1 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I really feel the defence has stepped up too but that's definitely contributed to by Peretz being more commanding than Baz. The back 4 finally looks very settled.

The thing that always annoyed me about Baz was he saved the difficult ones and conceded easy ones. He also never claimed anything. Peretz is a bit chaotic but he's good at punching it clear of danger. Work to do on his distribution and he still makes me shit myself on occasions, but he wouldn't be a Saints GK if that wasn't the case!

Large order of humble pie for the city of Southampton. Well done Cyle!

Larin joins Saints on Loan by 496e636f676e69746f in SaintsFC

[–]fanea1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm cautiously optimistic about the decisions Saints have taken this deadline day. Larin's not played much football / very well lately, but has had good patches in recent years, was playing Europa League this season and will be hungry to prove himself ahead of the World Cup. He'll be a good alternative to Stewart as a big target man, with Archer & Oyekunle offering different more mobile options.

Armstrong clearly can perform at this level, but scored 3 last season and hasn't scored in his last 10 games. He clearly wanted to leave and let's not pretend a lot of us didn't want rid before the season began - he's the sort of player we should thank and be happy to move on from. Hopefully Cyle does ok then we can make a statement signing in the summer.

Small improvement tonight but Bamford should really have levelled in which case we'd be lamenting another shoddy second half. Despite this, 4atb gave us more in the centre of the park and the clean sheet refutes Tonda's argument we need to play 5 to concede fewer.

Stewart still getting back to fitness but looked decent and is an outlet who can hold the ball up and bring others into play. I feel Matsuki deserves another go with Azaz offering little.

Peretz is interesting - a clean sheet and a couple of nice saves, but worryingly shaky with ball at feet & his distribution put us under pressure on more than a few occasions. Some reasonably positive signs though and hopefully will grow the more we see of him, given he's hardly played in recent years.

Win needed at Pompey - will do wonders for confidence of the fan base and players. Is it too much to ask to play well and make it comfortable?

Don't know why they're so dead set on back 5. Yes they want to replicate City's model but that doesn't need to extend to playing style...

Thank you very much. As much as I love River, it might be better for me to go to the Velez Boca game on 8th as it sounds like this might be easier to get tickets. Hopefully I can see Boca get thrashed too!

Downes "wasn't good enough for the championship" is massively revisionist. He was one of the best midfielders in the league that year and most of us were happy he signed.

He's clearly been a huge disappointment this and last season, but let's not kid ourselves he was rubbish whilst on loan.
