Let the discussion begin...

 

[always_hoping]

I'll be in attendance for this game and it's a must win game for United regardless of the performance. Slightly concerned with having to play near 70 minutes with ten men tonight. Southampton won 3-0 today against a decent Swansea.

 

[spiriticon]

All I want is for us to match Southampton in effort. If we can do that, we should win.

 

[Shane88]

Dalot out is a huge boost.

 

[Castia]

Massive game now this I want to see the same fight as the last games

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Now then, put in the same effort as we did in Anfield and Emirates and we should win. Let's build on these performances.

 

[Parma Dewol]

The way I’m feeling right now, I want us to absolute smash this game. Put it to bed by half time.

 

[JBG]

Hopefully the players are well rested for this match. Get a huge win here and we can create huge momentum after the Pool match and today's match.

 

[Kaos]

Going to this one. Haven't won the last 4 games I've attended, so hopefully picked a safe one to break the curse

 

[FerociousCorgis]

100 percent must win. Anything less just completely undermines all our effort over the last 2 games

 

[Von Mistelroum]

This will be a big test. Can we put in a good performance when it's not against a big team? If so, then we really are turning a corner!

 

[fergiewherearethou]

A win is a must, the momentum is there.

 

[bosnian_red]

So full week break before the last 2 led to 2 excellent big game performances.. back to a mid week game, let's see if we can build some momentum now.

Is dalot suspended in the league or the cup? Either him or Mazraoui but Maz needs a rest IMO, Maguire too as he seemed to have a knock as he came off. Would go for this.

Onana
Yoro De Ligt Martinez
Amad Ugarte Mainoo Dalot
Garnacho Bruno
Zirkzee​

Well we know they won’t be

 

[AndyMUFC]

Onana
Yoro ----- Maguire ------Martinez
Amad ----Ugarte ---- Mainoo-------Malacia
Bruno ----- Garnacho
Zirkzee

Only 3 players in that team that played the 120 minutes today.

Big game. This is the acid test when it comes to our mentality.

 

[Red Royal]

Yoro ----- Maguire ------Martinez
Amad ----Ugarte ---- Mainoo-------Malacia
Bruno -----Garnacho
Zirkzee

I like it... but think it is 3 with 120 minutes(?)

 

[JBG]

Well we know they won’t be

What makes you say that?

 

[daveskimufc]

A different game this Vs the last 2, saints wont be going all out. We are at home we should be pushing for goals and to maintain the good performances.

Expect Onana & zirkzee to start,

 

[Bwuk]

I expect rotation here. I’d be happy to see Bayinder keep his spot after today.

Bayinder
De Ligt - Maguire - Yoro
Antony - Ugarte - Bruno - Malacia
Amad - Zirkzee - Garnacho​

 

[AdamColeBebe]

Going to this one. Haven't won the last 4 games I've attended, so hopefully picked a safe one to break the curse

You're not allowed to go

 

[ThanksBoss26]

A win is a must, the momentum is there.

Agreed.

 

[redom]

We saw how frustrated Amorim was after the Liverpool game with the difference in attitude between that game and the ones preceding it, Southampton will be a test to see if we can take the attitude and application from the last two games and bring it out against a team who will offer a very different challenge.

Hopefully the players are on a high from todays result and we see a bit of confidence in this one, an early goal would go a long way.

 

[red_de_pologne]

What makes you say that?

The game is in three days and we just played 130 minutes, almost 70 minutes with 10 men?

 

[DJ_21]

The last 2 games means nothing if we don’t win this. 100% a must win.

 

[DJ_21]

I expect rotation here. I’d be happy to see Bayinder keep his spot after today.

Bayinder
De Ligt - Maguire - Yoro
Antony - Ugarte - Bruno - Malacia
Amad - Zirkzee - Garnacho​

I’d go with similar. Bruno can play CM in this one against weaker opposition. Also we should be using an attacking player on one of the wing back roles. No need to play 2 full backs.

 

[Ole'sattheWheel]

Gonna be in the stretford end for this. Bottom of the league, let's smash them

 

[Todd]

If there were one match on the schedule from here on out for which you say, we should be smashing this easily, it's this one.

Anything less than a comfortable win is unacceptable.

 

[JBG]

The game is in three days and we just played 130 minutes, almost 70 minutes with 10 men?

Maybe not well rested... but rested enough to give us a huge win.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Just win. Don't care about the performance. In league we need points and to win a game of football for a change.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Let's get some points now.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Licha has been mostly fit this season but I worry about his injury record it after 120 mins played that he starts again, feel he's in more of a need of a rest than Maguire or De Ligt.

 

[Gordon S]

Completely different game. We are forced to have the ball a lot more, need to play a higher line, push players forward, try to breakdown their compact defensive box. A real test for Ruben.

 

[Lu Tze]

Onana
De Ligt - Maguire - Martinez
Antony - Ugarte - Mainoo - Maz
Amad - Hojlund - Bruno

imo the calls to put Bruno into CM are dead wrong. We have to suffocate any potential threat that Soton will bring and it's a great opportunity for Mainoo and Ugarte to figure out how to play together in a game which we are likely to have a lot of the ball in. Heavy rotation would be nuts. Stick with what works.

 

[Sandikan]

Completely different game. We are forced to have the ball a lot more, need to play a higher line, push players forward, try to breakdown their compact defensive box. A real test for Ruben.

This is it, contain a difficult opponent away and putting together some breakways is one thing.

But needing to take the game to a poor outfit trying to do the same to us quite another.

 

[AndySmith1990]

Based purely on the pattern of false dawns over the past decade I'm expecting a loss here. But very much hope we really have turned a corner, and they put in the same level of energy and fight as they did against Arsenal and Liverpool

 

[DWelbz19]

Is Dalot out? An Amad / Garnacho right side could be interesting.

 

[Red00012]

I think Amad should start this instead of Dalot as WB we need an attacking team and there’s no need for 5 defensively minded players on the field as Southampton will just sit back

 

[Escobar]

Now we need to win so badly and the team needs to prove they also give 100% against weaker teams!

 

[DON’T PANIC ™]

Malacia will likely start in place of Dalot.

 

[hellhunter]

Malacia will likely start in place of Dalot.

Could also be Garnacho with Amad at RWB
