With five players along the frontline, it's also stopping Oxford's wing backs being able to commit too high up the pitch - they're being pinned.

Formation in build-up vs Oxford Utd today. Yet another effective Tonda tweak. #SaintsFC

Last time this happened, the atmosphere in SMS was the best I've ever seen it. Same again please! #SaintsFC

#SaintsFC have bought out the Saints Foundation advertising boards to try and counter Oxfords long throws. 🧠

@Stretford_End12 @DylanMcbennett7 The Maguire one is a completely separate incident, though. If that happens in the same position to the Amad one, it's probably not being given because it is also soft. But Maguire denies a goalscoring opportunity (penalty) and doesn't try to play the ball (red card)!

@AlexComber_ @DylanMcbennett7 It was a two handed push. You see penalties given for that level of contact all the time including tonight. The big problem is inconsistency. How can you deem one offence as not a foul & then one very similar a foul a few minutes later. Especially with the benefit of VAR.

Personally don't get the outrage over the refereeing decisions tonight. Should Amad have won a penalty? Maybe, but it's never stonewall. On the other hand, Maguire's red card was completely by the letter of the law. Inside the box, DOGSO & no attempt to play the ball.

@Stretford_End12 @DylanMcbennett7 It doesn't say that in the rules, that's just how football is refereed. Maybe it's an issue for the whole sport but you don't see many pens given for that!

@DylanMcbennett7 The contact is just a push, anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul but in the box that's extremely soft

Hadn't appreciated how good Bruno Fernandes actually is until of very late. One of the best in the world at the moment.

Though, with James unfit, it wouldn't have hurt to have given Trent a go for these internationals. Difficult one.

For me, if you're not starting Trent, you don't bring him, as he isn't the kind of player you bring off the bench for an impact. And maybe Tuchel agrees because James and Livramento are the better all-rounder right backs.
Henry Winter@henrywinter

Tuchel on ignoring Trent: “I know his strengths. My teams have suffered against him. He's a huge talent. It is a tough decision for Trent." Tuchel wants different profile at r-b. "It’s a ‘sportive’ decision, we stick with Quansah, Spence, Livramento who can play at r-b,” #ENG
