Widge Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Big game for both teams for different reasons. Seems that’s there’s always a game against Livi to decide a top 6 spot, just we’re not included this year! It’ll be tight I imagine, but Hendry does like a goal against our opponents. 0 Quote
ATLIS Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 St Johnstone always seem to pull a result out against us when we need something so it's not a great place to be going. Although, we're doing well right now and we won there 3-0 last time out. I don't think Efe will be starting at CB this time however Anderson being out is rough but now is the time for Forrest/Soto to step up IMO 0 Quote
Guest Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Aye, the 0-3 at McDiarmid was a bit anomalous due to the freak defensive errors that day. The 1-2 at Almondvale was a more reliable indicator of how the two teams measure up. St Johnstone have been playing at the same level as the 4th-10th teams for a while now. The points gap is there due to earlier in the season. There's been some great away performances recently from Livi but then some flat ones too. St Johnstone are consistent with their tactics so Martindale will know what to expect. He's a bit more flexible with his tactics but it'll be a 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 formation. The midfield and defence we can probably predict. Who he selects as his attacking 3 is an unknown, though, and getting that choice correct will be key for Livi.

LIVIFOREVER Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Both on 7pts from the last 5 games, we were doing well till we played Celtic & Hearts, though both were a lot better than us and had a lot more of the ball, this should be more even possession wise, so we should at least have more chances to get the ball into the box. As has been mentioned though, normally tight games between us, and Anderson being out is a blow, still think we have other players to pick up the slack but will depend on how Martindale deploys them. A draw wouldn't be too bad a result tbh, then it would still be in our own hands for our home game against Motherwell for a top 6 spot, win would be massive though, but still reckon we'd need a result/point in our final pre split game. Can't afford to lose this though, would really need other results going our way if that happened. Hopefully Nouble stays on for the whole game, with Clancy as the ref he'll need to be careful, that clown went card happy giving us 8 yellows and a red in our last game with him in charge, think he booked Martindale too, fucker's worse than Collum.

Increasingly of the opinion that we will need to win both games for top 6. We will need to rely on other teams slipping up to get in with 4 points, imo. Edited March 31, 2022 by EdinburghLivi 0 Quote
mizfit Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 The pitch is going to be shite. One random player is starting. We’ll concedeWill we win? I fucking hope so. 0 Quote

Can't see enough teams getting two wins from the last two games that we'd need more than 4 pts, if any at all, no doubt there will be some unexpected results. I'd rather we won this game though, then see where we are going into the last game, hopefully with results from the other games favouring us too. Edited March 31, 2022 by LIVIFOREVER 0 Quote

Zamora Fan Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 Still a long shot but we can really start to gaze longingly at tenth if we win this. Results can’t keep going against us since some of the teams on 35/36/37 are playing each other today. I agree with the shout for Bair, especially since the pitch is a mess and the ball won’t be on the ground anyway. 0 Quote
