Match Day Thread +++++Man Utd v Saints Friday 19th August 8pm+++++

Pierre or VVD.

 

Sad that Saints lost to that lot who are going to flatter to deceive. Hope Spurs batter that lot!!

 

Quick read through suggests we had some good play. I think I will give SaintsWeb a miss.

 

They will win the league.

 

I find myself more frustrated and annoyed by Sky's almost constant coverage of this as a Man Utd vs (insert opposition here) than the result itself. There wasn't anyone not salivating over Pogba Ibra etc.

For Saints, I like our passing and think we will be good in possession this year but Man U figured us and stifled any attack. Mourinho team all over. We need to be quicker in the last third but everything about our passing game means we should get there with it.

 

13 shots, 1 on target. 57% possession. Says it all.

 

I won't slag the diamond. It works really well in one direction, so after two games I'm happy to see how Puel corrects the defensive side of it. If he can get that part right, we look really good.

 

Can we please change to 4-2-3-1, cheers.

 

Agreed. Diamond is making us vulnerable.

 

I just think we would play better using 4-2-3-1.

 

Says we played well but our finishing is iffy.

 

There were at least 2 people watching the game without happy clapper goggles on.

 

1 shot on target from 57% of the ball is bad. Really bad.

 

I'm turning off the tv before I see communal playing with themselves over Pogba and co.

 

Really? Their two goals were a slow reaction and a penalty. They have one of the most potent attacking forces in the world too which between them cost about a trillion quid.

 

Agreed with that.

 

I actually thought pogba looked quality. The odd mistake but so strong on the ball.

 

Targett was getting torn a new one and he didn't have much help.

 

How many real chances did they have though? Martial had a couple but they were down to his not inconsiderable ability.

 

Well we scored and missed two really good chances... that is sort of troubling them
