Southampton 2:3 Manchester United

edcunited1878 · Feb 26, 2017

All the subs for United, bar Rashford and Young, have no pace. I'd be concerned if Youngy came on for Rojo because Ward-Prowse is tricky and his delivery is so good. Blind is slow, although he's smart and can read the game.

Really exciting match so far. The adjustments will be very interesting because as poor as United's performance has been, Soton have been very impressive.

DomesticTadpole · Feb 26, 2017

Think I picked a 3 man midfield, so not entirely surprised we are getting overrun there.

Ferguson · Feb 26, 2017

Carrick as expected

mu4c_20le · Feb 26, 2017

Carrick time.

Water Melon · Feb 26, 2017

Bailly is far from perfect. Probably one of his worst performances this season. Soton look fresh, we are worn out.

Macern · Feb 26, 2017

Martial, Rojo and Lingard should all be subbed off. Or, maybe not Lingard considering how he's a big game player

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.

They ought to be rustier coming out of the blocks, given they haven't played for so long. I can understand them being fresher than our lot, but that is no excuse for the terrible performance the players have put out there, or the tactical mistakes made by Mourinho by going for Pogba in a 2 man midfield and Rojo at LB.

NoLookPasser · Feb 26, 2017

Looks like Carrick on. Perfect substitution to get some control over the game.

Reynoldo · Feb 26, 2017

Good change

DomesticTadpole · Feb 26, 2017

Half time change
Carrick can solve some of the panic.

Carrick on for Mata. #mufc

Carrick on. Well done Jose.

4-3-3 is what we should be for this game.

That is Pogba. Useless defensively. Suicidal to play him as one of a midfield two in such a game.

We can only get away with it against teams we can dominate.

Red Dreams · Feb 26, 2017

good. Carrick for Mata.

Macern · Feb 26, 2017

Mata off?????

Murder on Zidanes Floor · Feb 26, 2017

Called that sub. Come on United!!

whatwha · Feb 26, 2017

Good change, I think!

JinnerJamie · Feb 26, 2017

Mata off

saivet · Feb 26, 2017

Sensible change. Mata had been poor.

duffer · Feb 26, 2017

Mata off?

Come on you Saints!

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.

That would definitely limit our attacking options

To the people having a go at Le Tissier- he is a Southampton legend, you can't expect him to be neutral in their biggest game in however long.

Tonjo · Feb 26, 2017

Carrick for Mata in the second half.

edcunited1878 · Feb 26, 2017

Mata off it looks for Carras?

Is Matt Le Tissier anti Man Utd in general?

LOL no but he is a Southampton legend and spent his entire career playing for them, this is a huge occasion for Southampton so obviously he is getting emotional! You can almost understand why he is melting down! But nothing he does or says is going to change the fact that the score line is in UTD's favour!

Charlie Foley · Feb 26, 2017

Carrick on, oh yes

saivet · Feb 26, 2017

Didn't realise he had a family bereavement

kidbob · Feb 26, 2017

The guys is in the bloody goal mouth. How is that not interfering?

It sounds absolutely bizarre, but it is the truth. He always delivers in the biggest games.

Walters_19_MuFc · Feb 26, 2017

Great move putting Carrick on. Free's up Pogba a bit more.

Hugh Jass · Feb 26, 2017

Southamton to get a soft penalty in the second half.

Because he is such a cheeky chappie with a twinkle in his eye.

TwoSheds · Feb 26, 2017

Imagine someone saying that Pogba has been good and in the same post saying that Southampton have been getting in behind our midfield at will. :lol:

piss poor, lazy performance from him, strolling around barely putting in a tackle. Lingard not much better.

Only decent performances are Zlatan, Valencia, Smalling, Herrera and De Gea.

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 personnel

Yeah think Mata out for Carrick was a good move. Just hope Rojo can be better defensively this half...
