Match Day Thread Southampton vs Manchester United

Saturday early kick off.

Looking forward to seeing Casemiro starting in midfield.

Unfortunately Martial is injured... again ffs.

Go with same starting line up as against liverpool but with Casemiro.

De Gea,
Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia
Casemiro Eriksen
Sancho Bruno Elanga
Rashford

Above all, just want to see the same aggression, desire and quality in our play as we showed on Monday.

 

And if they don’t put in the graft and the miles as on Monday they want shooting. That must be the first thing TH must remind them. Match their running and graft then let the skills come through. Otherwise we get stuffed like at Brentford.

 

It'll likely be a different type of game with us having greater possession.

How they graft with the ball will be just as important.

 

Agree, same starting team as last week with Cas in for McTom.
Keep going in the same way.

Do wonder if he'll give Eriksen a break and put Fred in with Casimero?

Will miss it, am playing golf. Ah well, will have to catch the highlights later.

 

Great to see - same line up plays again today

 

I’m worried but let’s give it 100% effort. Just don’t fall apart if we concede the first goal. There was a time we went 20 away matches undefeated as well as 7 consecutive losses

 

Dogged and hard work performance but the result was all. Again this leaves TenHag with some leeway for his rebuilding work.

 

We did well against a team that set up in a completely different way to Liverpool. Rashford and Sancho were pretty much smothered by their strong defence but rather than just keep making the same errors we changed tactics in the second half and Bruno's goal was excellent - 6th in the table (for now) but signs of improvement for all to see.

 

The most satisfying thing is the determination to keep a clean sheet. A dogged performance compared to the shambles of Brentford. Shows how beating the RS was crucial in terms of confidence. Also shows how we need a top proper centre forward.
