    None of our wingers excite me.

    Rashie's off, Garna's raw and Amad is over-rated. Antony may as well not exist.

    Up front is worse. Scary Mourane Kravitz and Razzmatazz Hojlund? Terrible.

    Casemiro will play as doubtlessly Galatasaray will baulk. Mainoo's decline continue.

    Maguire will be our best defender. Sigh.

    At least goalkeeper is sort......

    One nil us, at best. We concede first: We lose.

    Sack the board.
     
    This game has produced a lot of draws in EPL history, we even lost because of the "grey shirts" once
    The form we are on, just coming back from an international break, probably another draw.

    You sound so immature.
     
    What's the betting that Ugarte will only be back in England at 10pm Friday night after playing for Uruguay in South America thus making him unavailable?
     
    We will nick a 2-1 win with a Garnacho 90th min goal. Ten Hag will ask journos how his same tactics won the game, if they were crap.
     
    Hope Ugarte is ready for this game , otherwise we have no choice other than starting casemiro

    I wish ETH would go with a 433 diamond with Zirkzee as a false 9 and advice our fullbacks specially Dalot to stay conservative in attack to prevent the ease with which team have found their way into our box and instead rely on Bruno Mainoo Zirkzee and whoever starts between rashford/amad/garnacho to create the spaces and chances

    But who am I kidding - no matter our formation Bruno will keep giving the ball away, Dalot will bomb forward and leave acres of space behind, casemiro will get targeted and will have yet another bad game

    2-0 Soton

    Important to remain positive
     
    We will nick a late 2-1 win and ETH boys will change their votes

    A bit more pain I suspect. 1-1 draw

    I don't feel terribly confident myself. The guys will be under more pressure to perform.
    Currently Southampton couldn't buy a win but imagine the fallout here and in the media if we lose this lot.

    Even if we win, the media will spin it.
     
    To think we beat these 9-0 not too long ago and now we struggle to even score 1.
     
    So many negative waves. The Mighty Saints have only just been promoted. If we can’t win this then I truly will be shocked and ETH will undoubtedly deserve to be sacked.
    0-2 Utd.
     
    Southampton have lost every game including to Newcastle who went down to 10 men at the half-hour mark. We should be able to get something here.

    We were ragdolled by Brentford and Palace about 4 months ago. And we had close games against most if not all bottom half teams last season. Predicting another meh game here is sadly realistic. We should be due some bit of luck i think so i think we will get the win in the end. A loss should however not come as a surprise to anyone that has watched us under EtH.
     
    xg Southampton 0.07 - 4.67 United

    Final Score:

    Saints 2 (Aribo 32, Lallana 90+7)
    United 1 (Fernandes pen 90+2)
     
    Southampton possession in their first 3 games...

    78% vs Newcastle
    65% vs Forest
    64% vs Brentford

    That's pretty crazy for a newly promoted side, even though they have lost those games. Let's hope they're not more clinical against us though, as they have managed 18/19 shots in two of their games.

    Brentford and Forrest aren't possession oriented sides and Newcastle had 10 men.

    They're not, but it's still crazy. Both Forest and Brentford had more possession against us in our most recent PL meetings. Forest had more possession in their games against Wolves and Bournemouth this season, and Brentford had more possession against Liverpool and Palace this season.

    Southampton dominated possession against them more than Liverpool, Palace, Wolves and Bournemouth. That's pretty impressive and surprising to me. I had heard that they play a good brand of football last season, where they were drawing parallels between them and City in style of play.

    Nah this is boring.

    My prediction will kill our weekend mood :D

    1-0 Onana own goal 2
    1-1 Højlund 85
    1-2 Rashford 90
    2-2 Ramsdale 90+3 (after a corner-kick)
    3-2 Lallana 90+6 (penalty)
     
    There manager is a keep the ball guy, and when they get it right there good at it. This game is a game that we have to win . Four games in its a must win game. 12.30 ko again wtf is it that 4th game in already on the 2nd 12.30 ko ? How does that happen ,Internationals all over the place and we have a 12.30 ko first game back after the break? This game will be tricky just for the KO time.
     
    We should win this and all the players who have been on international duty will feel happier being away from the shitshow, and the positivity will run through the team, so
    1-0 Utd. Rashford to finally have a shot.

    12.30pm kick off well you and I and everyone else knows that’s the price we have to pay for the TV Money.
    Football sold its soul and unfortunately we the punters helped by buying into it.
    As for these internationals just wtf is this Nations crap? Without doubt far too many internationals.
     
    He must be really feeling the pressure after the start we have had.
    I really hope the players realise what is at stake here and give Southampton what Liverpool gave us.
    Will it happen? Any one’s guess.

    Yep agree, it's TNT sports isn't it, there's obviously loads of other fixtures they could pick but no we will go for Utd as it will be a bigger draw . Same as the league cup All other fixtures are on Sky + the main game is Utd v Barnsley that says it all, were would the leagues, Cup games etc be without a Man Utd.
