Southampton 2:3 Manchester United

Their attack is more coordinated and they look most likely to score. We have some good passes and touches but that's about it. We haven't created any decent chance apart from two GK mistake which should have scored from.

He was lazy on that one-on-one, lost his man then decided he needed to look like he works hard and concedes that daft freekick. We won't get anywhere with him in the side.

This!

A nothing player who masks his lack of ability by running around a lot.

So everyone who makes excuses about our squad not being good as so and so does Southampton have a better squad? It's all about coaching!

Greenwood and Bruno missing easy chances has nothing to do with coaching

SadlerMUFC · Nov 29, 2020

I don't understand the formation change. We have played one good game in a 4-4-2 diamond but we are coming off a great performance midweek with a 4-2-3-1 featuring VdB in #6 and Cavani in #9. I understand that Martial is out but we can still do that same formation with Greenwood...

Maguire isn't at fault for any of the goals here. He's looked fine. 2 quite incredible set pieces and 2 goals.

I don't know why Maguire is not the one who defends near post? He covers six yard area. Isn't it better that your best player in air attacks ball instead standing still

But how he (or any other gk) can reach that ball?? It is not even on first post.

Come out and get it. Just watch it back, he is being crowded out and letting other players dominate the box he should be in control of. He might as well not be there.

Wish we had somebody like him.

His only skill is set-pieces outside of that he's pretty poor.

Well, yes and no. With better coaching then for sure, the team could do better. However, the problem is that the players are also not good enough. I mean without being biased how many Utd players get into the first XI for the Dippers, City or Chelsea? Not many in my book.

This is a running theme. People bigging up our strikers, when they do score goals, but a great striker would score twice as many.

Very true. Our forwards look unstoppable when they’re on song, the problem is that those performances mask how horribly inconsistent they can be.

Isotope · Nov 29, 2020

Time to go broke. At 85th minute.

Hahaha. The game is about goals not much possession you have. We squander, Southampton don't.

Glad that made you laugh so much.

lex talionis · Nov 29, 2020

I’m actually confident going into the second half. The set piece merchants have already filled their quota.

Their attack really isn't 'more coordinated'

They have the same side week in week out because they will never play in midweek. It's bound to look fresh and invigorated

Rado_N · Nov 29, 2020

Henderson coming on.

Where’s that silly prick who accused DDG of faking injury?

What are his passing stats like?

Anustart89 · Nov 29, 2020

De Gea off with a bruised ego.

From 2 mistakes.

What chance have we created from scratch?

But their chances weren't created either. Good delivery from both but it's not like it's two penalties.

Alemar · Nov 29, 2020

Henderson is on at half time

manichester · Nov 29, 2020

We will concede more goals and who are people going to blame.

The team is good enough to beat Southampton.

Both chances come from nothing, not from build up play. 45 minutes, zero chances created. That is shambolic. We were better side and more dominant but you must create something ffs.

As long as we don't give away silly free kicks

Sassy Colin · Nov 29, 2020

Henderson?

OldTrevil · Nov 29, 2020

For the first goal, Rashford let his man move in front of him and didn't even challenge him for the header, so of course the guy perfectly glances it in. I didn't see a error from David there

PoTMS · Nov 29, 2020

They look the more likely to score out of the two teams. I expect us to ship a few more in the second half.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Nov 29, 2020

Deano!

If I was manager Bruno would have been given the captaincy with Maguire’s Greek incident. Guilty or not he shouldn’t have put himself into that situation.

Agreed. Height of pandemic, should have stayed TF home really. I understand ordinary Joe soap going for a holiday, but a pro footballer, one who's captain of the biggest team in the land, should probably stay home if he's not capable of staying out of the trouble.

GlasgowCeltic · Nov 29, 2020

Its looking like a tough second season for Greenwood, and still so many argued against signing genuine competition in attack

superdry · Nov 29, 2020

Get Cavani on, get some high balls for him to lay off and he'll help defend corners.

Lindelof comes to my mind. And Pogba of course

Judas · Nov 29, 2020

Cavani coming on at half time, well I never, pretty happy to see Ole making that change early.

Heinzesight · Nov 29, 2020

Our three main chances weren’t all Southampton mistakes. Greenwood should slot into an empty goal, Bruno post then the one the keeper passes out to us was a mistake. But anyway, 4-2 to us...I’ll put the crack pipe down later.

The person who is at fault probably, isn’t that how it works?!

Sandikan said:
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.

We've been unlucky but i guess we we're lucky last week against WBA, we need to score next and before the hour mark preferebly.

Maguire of course.

MattofManchester · Nov 29, 2020

Why take Greenwood off? Why not Rashford who is having yet another game where falling down becomes a hobby?

BeforeKeanetherewasRobson · Nov 29, 2020

Been out. Will watch 2nd half.

After the clamour for DvdB, how's he done?

Dargonk · Nov 29, 2020

Looks like Henderson is taking DDG place. DDG's knee obviously forcing the issue.

SuperiorXI · Nov 29, 2020

Henderson on and it's not because of injury but we'll be told it is.

DDG simply too piss weak.

MrBest · Nov 29, 2020

How start the next 20 mins determines the influence Ole has on this squad. I hold no hope, expect to lose this 3 0 but happy to eat my hat if we win.
