Exactly how I felt, specially after that goal.
Also doesn't surprise me we didn't get a penalty. I think I saw on a MU YT channel, that over the past years we've gotten 60% less pens.It was obvious from the first 10 minutes we weren’t up for it. The entire team is too deep. We get the ball wide and the wing backs are in our half.
We are such a pathetic team. What was the point in wasting energy against Arsenal and Liverpool when we play like this in a must win.
I still think we are going down. I see nothing in this team to suggest otherwise. All it takes is for Wolves, Leicester or Ipswich to pick up form.The players are absolutely fecking dreadful. It can't be said often enough. Until we replace about 70-80% of them, this is the level.Our wingback need to offer width but both are stronger on the other foot so naturally come inside.Only Onana playing well, absolute shite everywhere else, we're getting relegated at this rate.
Bring Garnacho off and put Collyer or Zirkzee on and got some control in midfieldLosing to a team with 6 points before this game, 6, that shows the level we have reached with this collection of players.
With our financial situation relegation would finish us.
Should have listened to Amorim. He said it was easy for players to show character in the last 2 matches, because they were big opponents. In days like today where the opponent isn't as big, the players don't muster enough determination.if we had played well it wouldn't have been as bad, but feck me, that was an inexcusable halfnot like we deserved it, but it is absolutely criminal how quickly VAR "cleared" that handball.Honourable mention to that fat twat Shaw for playing in the Euro's final for England. Thanks a lot mate.Rasmus is so poor. No wonder no one passes to him. He simply makes the wrong move.
There was a moment when he played the ball back and then ran towards it. The other player played it in space expecting him to pass and turn but nadaWe will start second half strongly, then give away a penalty or a soft goal and then we'll be the better team for the rest of the half but will not score.I hope Ruben has borrowed SAF's hairdryer and doubled the blast on itAmorim probably won't survive the season if it looks like we might be at risk of relegation.
That would suck because I want him to have a proper chance.
We need to buy him 3 players in Jan and see what happensWe just dont have the attack to dominate games. Garnacho, Bruno and Hoijlund wi just keep losing the ball everytime they in a tight space.Have to admit Southampton’s playing well. Also, they dare to press. I don’t understand why they dare to press aggressively and we don’t.
Wonder what amorims instructions were, and I hope he’ll get some more fight in the team after the tea
Onana’s truly kept us alive so far.
Hojlund isn’t much but had a good run and should have had an assistTactics are dire far too deep and zero press and Amorim won't change. You can't play the same way against Southampton as against Liverpool and Arsenal.Maguire for Yoro.Zirkzee gets clowned on because he fecks up a fair few passes and that's fair enough but at the very least he can control the ball in order to attempt them. Hojlund isn't even capable of that.
I honestly think it's more complicated that that
It's Jim Beglin no? Whoever it is, he's incredibly, consistently shite. I'd pay double the FUBO subscription for the ability to mute his voice.
That’s what I saw too. They played high and wide which pushed our wing-backs deep and we couldn’t find a pass. Terrible.Amad struggling with defensive duties as RWB.
That left wing has been Southamptons main line of attack.
Midfield needs to be strengthened, because we have not had any control of the game.
Ugarte is having a nightmare game.
Mainoo being run around like a training cone.
I’d bring on Toby Collyer.Antony coming on.
Nearly every time we play it up to the corner of the box everyone just stops moving and we play slowly back to Yoro or Martinez, they pass to DeLigt and then back to Onana. It’s pathetic.Missed the first half.
FFS how can we be losing to one of the worst teams in years right on the back of great performances and results at Arsenal and pool?
FFS lads, sort it out, can't be losing to these.And this is why are 15th in the league.
We have nothing down the left and Mainoo is a passenger in midfield.
Both probably
This absolutely.Oh and can't believe I'm gonna say this, but without Dalot we actually have no left side.They deserve the lead. Very poor showing...Have no idea why people are so bothered about us potentially selling Garnacho. He is not at the required level if we want to go forward.
Amad did well. Dribbles past players and got the ball progressing in the final 3rd well. No other player in our squad can play in tight areas.
Garnachos was a sitter after Hojlund put it on a plate
That should be scored 9/10 times
It also doesn’t help to have a striker that is a non factor in the air AND can’t hold it up to save his life.
Southampton are daring Hojlund to hurt them and apart from the channel ball Bruno gave him that he put on a plate for Garnacho, he can’t do it.Sir Jimmy was sacking the wrong people from the club all along.
He’ll be happy with the savings he made when we are relegated.Mainoo, Garnacho useless. Bruno bad. Hojlund too.
