Southampton 2:3 Manchester United

UmbroDays · Nov 29, 2020

We've done nothing this game.

We need to go back to 4-2-3-1 with Cavani up top, take Greenwood off. Doesn't seem to be at the races today

Crustanoid · Nov 29, 2020

Well that was a load of bollocks

You can't expect any gk to save these.

He gave him too much space to aim for, bad positioning. If he is even a foot closer to that post he gets it.

It's ame as midweek, it's a good hit. He got a hand to it, but only because he is diving backwards, diving backwards like that is nothing more than bad goalkeeping from that position. If he shifts his feet quicker, he's not diving backwards and he gets there and keeps it out.

Rashford cuts inside into 4 defenders instead of going left where there was no one.

This.

He is too predictable playing on the left side.

el3mel · Nov 29, 2020

Our play strategy seems to revolve around getting penalties. Rashford tries to get one every time he gets into the box.

I give McC a lot of credit for that save, but he’s absolutely a big reason why we have no control in this match.

Van de Beek tippy tapping it around like he thinks he's at Arsenal is a much bigger reason. Matic being shit at football and playing a formation which relies on the attacking contributions of Wan Bissaka also doesn't help.

VP · Nov 29, 2020

Another piss poor half of football where we look like a team without a coach.

Two chances created thanks to Southampton's mistakes

Betson · Nov 29, 2020

No real urgency about our play , even after we went 2 down. We look like we are content enough with this ending 2 - 0.

Isotope · Nov 29, 2020

Play like mid-table club.

Wan Bissaka . Oh my god.

Started off looking alright, but yet again our forwards are totally unclinical, and set pieces continue to baffle our defence

would have been at least two up if RvN or RvP were up front - probably even if it was rooney

Ollie Derbyshire · Nov 29, 2020

Has Rashford decided he doesn’t have to do any actual work anymore, no press, no link up play, no runs in the channels. He needs to up his game big time.

siw2007 · Nov 29, 2020

Shouldn’t be losing this game, we’ve had enough chances. Having said that it isn’t good enough from the side so far. The system is too narrow, we aren’t getting the ball to the forwards enough in dangerous positions.

christinaa · Nov 29, 2020

Why did we get a proven goal-scorer like Cavani and not play him?!

It's been a total robbery so far, undone by 2 set pieces despite being the better team by a distance.

Agreed.

@SadlerMUFC thoughts?

Perfect free kick. It's a right footer from the same position. A right footer can easily go either side...

Incidentally... we are not even on top in terms of the possession stats. It's 52% to Southampton. Southampton have the same number of attempts on goal...and one more than us on target... so quite where the 'we are on top' comes from is mad.

I thought for the first 20-30 mins we were the better side, would be interested to see the stats in that period, last 15 mins towards the end though, Soton looked far better and were controlling things easily.

Rashford just speed it up ffs! Slows the game down every time he gets it. You don’t always have to cut in & shoot

I've defended Rashford for ages, but he plays like it's an inconvenience to him lately. So unmotivated, passive...gets breathed on and he's on the ground for 30 seconds, no pressing, no passion.

P-Nut · Nov 29, 2020

Played well till their goal, Ward-Prowse is a beast from corners and free kicks so always going to be a threat.

Stupid from Fred to gift a free kick in that area, knew it was in as soon as it was given.

Matic off and Cavani on at HT is the obvious move.

Their constant fouling every time we counter is infuriating

And that’s where a captain comes in to the refs ear letting him know. I can’t stand Henderson but he’s constantly having a word with a ref in games. Maguire says feck all even to our own players.

vanrooney · Nov 29, 2020

Maybe it’s one of our great comebacks

Unlucky to be 1 down nevermind 2.

Yep.
In amongst all of the doom posts we definitely shouldn't be losing this by 2.

Counts for nothing though as 2-0 down is what we are.

#07 · Nov 29, 2020

United have actually played decent stuff at times, wasted some big chances and been punished for it. Its not been complicated. However, when you look at the team nothing convinces you that it'll suddenly get a lot better does it? If we lose today it'll be our fourth league defeat. That's just too many for us to aspire to anything out of this season.

This, Ole needs to get their chins up at half time. We can do these.

We can if we play like we did for the first 20 then it’s doable.

It’s actually a bit mental to think Danny Ings is considered a top premier league striker these days isn’t it?

Not really no. Didn't he score the most goals from open play last season?

simplyared · Nov 29, 2020

We need some strength and intent in midfield and no options on the bench. Not looking good!

Nobody can't deny our approach. So will be happy. No need for bashing.

maybe that's why we are where we are right now

arnie_ni · Nov 29, 2020

We were absolutely bossing it as well

Dave Smith · Nov 29, 2020

Way to passive

C3Pique · Nov 29, 2020

For every step forward this team takes 2 steps back. Ole shouldn't make christmas at this rate, we're making the same mistakes we were a year ago. No improvement, no progression.

Mibabalou · Nov 29, 2020

Weve had the chances to be in this but we just missed them all.

Need to but one away inside 60 and we can come back and win this.

Get Cavani on for Matic go 4231 and press them, I think there could be a red in their side if we keep them under pressure.

My thoughts exactly.

Robert · Nov 29, 2020

This is depressing. Kicked all over the park, outplayed by their little terrier JWP, Greenwood's finishing deserting him.. I can't watch this much longer.

GMoore23 · Nov 29, 2020

Get Cavani on and I never want to see the Diamond again.

Annihilate Now! · Nov 29, 2020

I don't think we've been good at all. Both our chances were courtesy of mistakes... And whilst we battled okay before their goal we weren't really doing a lot.

After the first goal we've been shocking.

I could understand blaming DDG for the FK but for the CK ??

It's the other way round. The FK was un-saveable, it's literally gone in next to the post. The Corner he is stood there like a year 3 playing in net vs year 11s. He's so weak in the commanding the box, luckily the rest of his game propels him up.

He had the opportunity to finish with a hard kick. But he chose a quiet inside kick.

Summary:
They had two chanced they took both
We had two chances we didn't

Amadaeus · Nov 29, 2020

Where is penalty and var to come save us. We are just one goal away from getting back into this. Southampton will crumble if we get a goal.
