Yeah, some are reds
Mariner has set a president of what a bookable offense is, he needs to show Consistency with his decision making. If a clip like Herrera's is a yellow, then a lunge with studs up at high pace is a red.
He's just pro-Southampton.
Do not forget this is a Southampton side without a game in the past 15 days. They are of course fresher and full of energy more than we are.The problem is they look like the thinking is it's only Southampton....if this was Chelsea or Arsenal, our attitude would be completely different
That's Liverpool, then.No mention of the tackle by Stephens?
And not that it would get mentioned at half time, or at all, but the decisions to not give Davis and whoever clattered Mata yellows changes the game as well. Davis isn't on any tightrope now, Herrera is for an innocuous challenge.
Those small decisions change games too.We're in the lead, but that was almost a embarrasingly bad first half, in a final at Wembley against fecking Southampton.
And what about midfield?
IMO, our MF is what is letting us down. The ball is going through them as if they are not there, forcing the defenders to constantly defend. Eventually, any defence will make a mistake and that's what we saw in the last 2 minutes of the half.
Sort out the midfield and no more goals will be conceded.Lingard haven't really done much, his goal was more poor defending (and great finish) than great play in my opinion.
Rojo poor defending. Herrera poor defending for their goal (shared fault with Rojo and De Gea).
Would take out Rojo for Blind at half time and if Lingards game doesn't improve take him off for any of Rooney, Fellaini or Rashford, depending on what we seem to need.
Was a definite yellow for meYeah, some are reds
Mariner has set a president of what a bookable offense is, he needs to show Consistency with his decision making. If a clip like Herrera's is a yellow, then a lunge with studs up at high pace is a red.we have been pretty poor in defence. They are also really on top in midfield.
But their defence has been poor too.
We need to dominate midfield. Carrick for sure.
Seems the best option, at least protect the lead.Le Tissier is one outburst away from an aneurism.Le tissier in full pantomime role, quite embarrassing watching an adult behave like that.
Martin Tyler too.
United very poor though even a one goal lead flatters us. Hoping we won't see two halves like that though, next goal would kill itEveryone has been piss poor. Midfield not shielding the defense, leaving loads of space for Southampton. The defense can't deal with the movement or crosses. The front four aren't getting much of the ball so they're not having any impact. And they forfeited momentum by conceding that goal.
Gonna be a stressful second 45.Gabbiadini going into my fantasy team. Great movement from him and looks and proper striker.Alright mate, we get it
Carrick has to come on, probably for Mata. Could potentially be Lingard or Martial though. They are just cutting through our midfield.
And Blind has to come on at leftback. Rojo has had a bit of a shocker there unfortunately.
Mourinho has shown in the past he's happy to make numerous changes at halftime, so we'll see if he does both straight away.Why is Klopp in every fecking TV ad?
The bloke is a gimp at the best of times, even without the excuse of having a horse in his race like he has today.Get Carrick on for Mata and move Lingard wide
Need to get some control and stop them getting in behind Herrera and Pogba
No, that would be Martin Tyler!
If he wasn't the lead singer of a top Rock band and the father of a gorgeous daughter I'd feck him right up!Le Tissier predicted a 1-0 triumph for Southampton and also predicted them to finish above us this season, so yeah he doesn't rate us.The couple of people who are saying Smalling has been poor. What game have you been watching? Bailly has been far worse, as has Rojo. Smalling has done well.
We need to get Carrick on and then everything will calm down a little and we can start to control the pace of the game.Herrera and Lingard's yellows were both obvious as both knew they couldn't win the ball and were a kick to foul the man on purpose.Feel for Tissier there lol. Everyone's acting like "oh it's just a game, cheer up, have a drink and a hotdog" but he's a Soton fan ffs. Ah well.
I'd suggest using the bad luck as motivation. Don't let it bog you down. Let it motivate you
I think Mata would improve if we take the shackles off Valencia.Despite him having a right old whinge, i can see why le tiss is fuming. Its a fecking shocking decision lolWe are trying to shut down Romeo but by doing that we are leaving space behind our cm.
Tadic and Redmond are being clever and taking it in turns to cut inside and fill that space, the fullbacks aren't following.
We need to go 433 and let Romeo have room, he isn't pirlo.Alright mate, we get it
Decisions going Uniteds way is always "disgusting" according to ABU cnuts. Funny how they aren't outraged when the opposite happens, despite the fact they're on TV as pundits.
I don't agree, Bailly has been bad but Smalling worse, his positioning is awful and he plays the worst offside attempts and just a bag of nerves week in week out. Bailly has been poor the last few games but I'd prefer him to stay on. Maybe I'm being biased as I think Smalling is extremely overrated and generally a poor footballer. Either way whoever comes off we need Rojo at LCB and not left back, that we can probably both agree on.Carrick will settle things down. Not sure if it's mata or martial to come off though.We need to stop launching it from the back and be more composed. We are simply giving possession away. Hasn't been a good first half. Hopefully more to come from the second half.
Because he's worth it.
They have all been poor.
I'm not a big fan of lingard but I feel Southampton have bossed our midfield and without the ball lingard can't do much.
You could have messi in that no10 and we'd be no better off until we sort out that midfield.
Mata needs to come off the right, either swap positions or personnelI like the way that people here STILL think Jose knows feck all!
So fecking annoying. I am sat hoping he plants that fecking Opel into a tree every time.
That's because he isn't a LB. Moving him yet again after such a good run as CB is stupid. His positioning in Southampton goal proves it (CB was pretty bad as well marking from distance)- Status
