    Could define the season this, fourth game in.
    We have to win well, simple.

    I know the Saints manager from his time at Swansea and know how they play, high risk passing (pissing) around at the back between keeper and fullbacks, trying to spring the 'press'.

    It's all bollocks, and they will make mistakes. If we can't capitalise and win by a good couple then Ten Hag does indeed need to go.

    My team would be;

    Onana
    Dalot
    De Ligt
    Martinez
    Mazaraoui
    Casemiro
    Mainoo
    Fernandes
    Antony
    Zirkzee
    Garnacho.

    4 3 3 .

    Ugarte etc. on the bench just now.

    Must win in the sense that Saints are crap, are sloppy in defence and we need to stop the rot before it becomes a 'thing' so early in the season which promised so much, especially with the new signings.

    No wasters allowed, so no Rashford or Antony for me, Garnacho and Amad either side if Zirkzee (and give Hojlund a run out at some point to let him know we haven't forgotten him). If Rashford so much as looks like he's playing I'm not watching.

    That post is hilarious!

    The useless fad of back passes across the backline and back to the goalie. How did football become so complicated?

    We'll smash you on possession and pass count mate so the manager will be delighted. Just not on goals.

    Couldn't ask for an easier match when you're desperate for a result to release pressure slightly. 3-0 away win.

    Rashford starts so we're ****ed down the left.

    Rashford scores through a mass of bodies in the Saints penalty area - not his best but a goal is a goal.

    It’s great we scored three goals. I dropped Rashford and Onana this week for FPL and the two of them racked 20points. Pigs!
