Missing Tony’s presence and guile up front
One team doesn't deserve a point its worse than a supposedly rubbish team
We've been good for 10 minutes, absolute pants other than that.The usual suspects so far.
Pogba fannying around and losing possession every time he receives the ball
Rashford proving he's Championship level at best.
Pereira virtually anonymous.
Mata has been one of our better players, so don’t know what game you been watching.If they equalise we'll draw this gameOur big players (pogba, rashford,mata) have been absolutely shite. Perreira awful again. Awb, Maguire, James have been fantastic. Score the next goal and we should win. I hope this game doesnt follow the wolves game. Need to start sharp second half.Again with so many individual mistakes from players who should be leading us..... We attack quite well, I like the way we do it, there is a plan, but we stop ourselves with really stupid mistakes which aren't really forced. I don't know what can be done done differently from tactialy point of view, we need better players, or some of these players have to improve.Sack Pogba sell OleCommentator just described James as United’s big money summer signing!
Mata played well. Pogba and Rashford turn their brains on second half and we can get a few more.Other than Pogba and maybe Rashford, we've looked good. Largely nullified Southamptons tactics that caused Liverpool so many problems.we should have put it to bed with the chances we have had.Funny how a championship player has come in and been out best attacking threatThis reminds me so much of last season’s game at St Mary’s, which is the lowest point of my supporting United post-Fergie. A Southampton team so poor that they highlight how poor we are. We should be comfortably 3-0 up against this lot. They have nothing at either end of the pitch. Yet we find ourselves one Ward-Prowse free-kick away from being fecked.Impressed with James.
Feels a little too even in terms of control of the game but our defence doing well. James individual brilliance the difference really.I'd bring on Matic for Pereira and push Pogba forward.Pogba and Rashford trying to see who can play worse. Both playing in key areas tooI'd bring on Greenwood for Rashford and Pereira.Played some nice stuff in parts.
Very sloppy though
Worryingly, I'm sure we used to say very similar things about Danny Welbeck.
I want to see that for a long time. Martial is no9, James in left winger and Rashford needs to start playing on the right as a first option there
Most definitely. He works best as left midfielder in a midfield 3 too.
Ordinarily you might have a point but I'm not having that today. He's misplacing 5 and 10 yard passes. Absolutely no excuse.
Edit: I'm biting amn't I?I see we’re one up but I’m at work.
How has the playing style been?Pogba has played like he's under heavy sedation.
So slow and dopey.Pogba is not playing shit because he is surrounded by poor players or whatever, it's because he just doesn't want to play for Man Utd anymore. His heart or interest is not in it.quite poor but with some decent play now and againOverall the team has been very sloppy. Pogba and Rashford exceptionally so. Pogba especially.
It's like they're desperately trying to invite Southampton back into the game.Dan James an automatic starter already - he's been very good but it's more of an indication of the rest of the team.
I highly doubt they will. They barely threaten us.It’s no surprise how diabolical we have been the past year when we rely on players like Rashford to get us goals. Inconsistent and frustrating player. We have so many players who can’t do the basics when required and go to sleep very easily.
He keeps falling and passing the ball to the opposition. That’s his fault, more often than not.Get Chong on for Pereira, let him cause problems down the right. Andreas not with it today.What does Pereira actually do? I mean he seems to be one of the most pointless players I have ever seen.Everyone should look at Daniel James and be ashamed to be so fecking frustrating and inconsistent despite being at the club for almost half a decade. Fecking embarassment, it's so hard to trust them familiar faces.Matic in for Pereira, put Pogba in Pereiras position. Matic is still a solid player, and Pogba higher up will give us a much bigger threat forward.
Sometimes investing on youth doesnt mean it'll bear fruit
He needs to start playing on the right side of the bench. He’s been dreadful for a long time.
