    When was the last time Manchester United gave anyone a "tonking?" Just because they have shed out loads of money for Pogba, Bailly, and Ibra does not entitle Manchester United to suddenly have this aura of invincibility.

    It's a reverse of the Poch scenario, the translator is asking the questions in French, the answers are coming back in English with a bit of help.

    I've just woken up, was there anything in that I needed to hear? Where's DTLW's little breakdown when you need one! (he's probably asleep aswell)

    These journalists are annoying. It's the Southampton press conference and all they want to know is about United and their players. Who Cares!

    We can nick this, just need a bit of luck. Defensively they still have weaknesses if we can get it through or round their midfield...I dont care if we play like the old style Stoke if that's what it takes to keep our winning record against them going

    In the video, Gardos had a slight limp and was not mentioned as a CB by Puel....not really surprised. Pierre had tape down his leg, but probably nothing.

    Gotta go back to 2 DM's for this. Davis and Romeu. Hojbjerg in front of them with Tadic and Redmond on the wings feeding Long.

    I can't work out if our players think H/T is tedious or hilarious!

    Did I hear CP right, I thought he said "Did the rumour about Fonte start at United before the big game?" He is smarter than he looks if he thinks there was something underhand at foot!

    First time that Shaw will play against us, unless he injures himself again

    What would everyone do formation wise?

    I think i would go;

    FF
    Cedric Fonte VvD Targett
    Romeu Højbjerg
    Redmond Davis Tadic
    Austin

    I think we really need:
    - Width
    - a focal point for our attack
    - Pivot in midfield, Romeu got some stick this weekend, but I felt he was asked to do too much on his own.

    Also, I'm absolutely itching to see Austin given a start, I have been since he signed (but that's just a personal thing))

    No, he played against us at OT when Tadic scored the winner. Remember him getting subbed and Saints fans singing something about what an overweight waste of money.

    I said earlier in the thread I'm interested to see how Puel sets up for this one. I imagine he will stick with the diamond but I wonder how adventurous we will be.

    One thing I will say though is that I think Long should definitely start, would like to see him furthest forward as we're going to need an outlet.
