Southampton 0:1 Manchester United

Random Task · Aug 27, 2022

Martial injured again? He's far too unreliable these days. Pray we complete the Anthony deal before the window shuts.

Casemiro for McTominay is the only change ETH should consider. Otherwise, it makes sense to persist with the team that beat Liverpool to build some momentum.

Feeling a lot more worried now kickoff approaches

I know that if we play like Monday we'll be fine and we'll win well but I still don't trust them. Our away form has been absolutely shocking for so long now.

This weeks been so nice as a fan, as nice as I've felt about utd in 2 seasons. Please, please, please don't make me go back to that other place. Please play well. Please

Pretty much my feeling. We're not out of the woods yet. Not even close. The team still has a lot to prove, especially against teams outside the top 6, starting today.

This is a huge test today. We know we're capable of pulling results out of the fire in big games by playing on the counter but will we be able to match those levels of effort and energy in one of the most "nothing" games of the season?

Southampton are about as bland as bland can be. There's no rivalry, it's a Saturday lunchtime KO, we're coming off the back of a big adrenaline rush following the Liverpool with...it has all the ingredients of one of those lethargic, lazy performances this team can turn out.

Would like to see Rashford at centre forward again since Tony is injured

JanK · Aug 27, 2022

Casemiro not starting I guess, expecting a similar lineup as was vs Pool and similar subs (maybe Casemiro coming for McTominay) and maybe seeing a youngster (Garnacho, Garner) having some minutes as well.

Most vital question is - does ETH see dropping Shaw-Maguire-Ronaldo as a result for Pool's win or a fluke?

This based on any news?

Coops73 · Aug 27, 2022

Not got a great feeling about this one, which feels a bit weird after the Liverpool win, I’m still unsure that these players has what it takes to be consistent but we’ll see.

Would like him to start with the same team as Monday but with Casemiro instead of McTominay.

podurban2 · Aug 27, 2022

Tony is injured again? How do these injuries even occur... Ah well, that's a bummer. Let's hope Rashford continues his form. Looking forward to see Casemiro!

Insightful addition to the conversation Sandikan. Keep up the good work.

Sorry but if you can't even spell a fairly famous player's name correctly by now it needs immediate clamp down.

I agree. Hopefully we can build on Monday's performance. I think Casemiro will not start. McTominay had a decent game against Pool. Would send the wrong message to bench him.

Unchanged side from Monday according to some bloke off Twitter. No Casemiro?!

I mean, Stevie Wonder could see that coming. It’s hardly indicative of an actual leak.

Casemiro has had 2 training sessions and would be breaking up a side that played excellently 5 days ago

Yeah this a good point. I want to see Casemiro play but you're right.

De Gea better hoof the ball whenever there's even a hint of a high press, or I'm going to throw something at my TV.

Didn't they get it wrong last week when they said Shaw and Fred would start against Liverpool?

Beans · Aug 27, 2022

Casemiro from the Spanish meaning "I see the cheese".

Red the Bear · Aug 27, 2022

I hope he starts casemiro , very excited to see how he plays with us.

Hopefully your distribution is as good as De Gea's.

The opposite. They had it right when it was widely reported that Martial and Fred would start.

Ah schade. Would have liked to see Casemiro start.

Bwuk · Aug 27, 2022

Can’t see Casemiro not starting.

Judas · Aug 27, 2022

Might not be "fair" if Caresmiro starts, but he should start and I hope he does.

SuperiorXI · Aug 27, 2022

I reckon he's on the bench

I'm amazed that over 75% are predicting a win away from home.

Law of averages suggest we’re due an away win at some point and it’s no surprise after receiving a confidence boost from beating Liverpool. It’s probably the most positive the dressing rooms been going into an away game for months.

cyberman · Aug 27, 2022

We have one win in 3 and a horrendous away record. He has to start

ShinjiNinja26 · Aug 27, 2022

I’d keep the same line up that beat Liverpool with the only change being Casemiro for McTominay. We need that same energy against Southampton because no doubt they’ll come out the blocks fast and try and press us high up the pitch like last time, need that pace to hit them on the break when there’s a turn over in possession.

Volumiza · Aug 27, 2022

Looking forward to this today. I’m not expecting anything amazing but I do hope to see a continuation of the style we showed against Liverpool. I want to start to recognise that this is our new way. I want to be convinced Liverpool wasn’t a one off.

I think Maguire will still be out and Im looking for another strong Martinez performance and Varane to make it through another game in one piece.

Hopefully we get to see Casemiro. Would be good to see him start but I guess he’ll come on later in the game maybe, who knows?

Fairly novel feeling, actually looking forward to matches again, been a long time.

Hester_manc · Aug 27, 2022

Once ETH found his best starting 11 in Ajax, he did not change his starting line-ups that much. So I think he will start the same 11 players, who played against Liverpool. Casemiro will start on the bench, I think.

You know this is not a real thing right? Gambler's fallacy.

I thought team news was released at 90 minutes before kick-off this season (not an hour) they certainly changed the cut-off on fantasy football league, does that apply to Saturdays early match?

It’s a phrase but it’s going to happen at some point unless you think we’ll go a whole season without winning an away game? Todays as good a time as any especially after the confidence boost of beating our biggest rivals.

I think Eriksen will be dropped for Fred. That way he can start Casemiro and give him the safety of playing alongside Fred who he is used to.

They changed the fantasy leagues because people working on games get team news 75 minutes before kickoff, with announcements an hour before. People working had been caught changing their fantasy teams in those 15 minutes.

Reversion to mean is real if the subject has a normal distribution for probability of outcomes. Which is not the case in football.
