Southampton v Manchester United 12:30pm Official Match Thread

Mediocre performance and mediocre result from a mediocre side
Not getting top 4 with this team this season

Ole’s in big trouble as I can’t see were we get a run of wins together

Don’t like to say this but we look a bit clueless from a coaching stand point

I don’t think I’ve seen a centre back as bad at heading the ball as Lindelof

We joke, but we missed a classic centre forward today.

About 4 or 5 balls zipped across the six yard box with nobody even near them today.

We dont score enough 'bread and butter' goals.

Would love to know who we spent 20 mins crossing the ball at in the 2nd half

Was a bit of a classic, would suggest rewatching the entire game if you get the chance

We're impotent up front. Greenwood at least made the keeper work.

Really?

Thought he was trying to create things along with James.

Seen Pogba play much worse

Was he not subbed off?

Cant be critical of you know who

Bedwetters assemble.

Yep.

For all the hate Lingard gets Rashford has been absolutely dog shit for the last three games and if he continues to play like this he’s going to cost us quite a few points.

Give United the ball, sit back and then do them from set piece balls into the box.

Easy.

Ole said as much yesterday (or whenever he did his press conference) which makes selling Lukaku and not bringing in a replacement even odder. Fair enough if Lukaku isn't the sort of striker you want but if you're letting someone go who does score those sort of goals at least have a replacement lined up. Don't have your dick pulled by the likes of Dybala (who isn't a bread and butter goal scoring striker).

Decent performance imo. For 20 minutes in the second half our fitness looked to be dropping alarmingly but the red card brought new life into it. Should have won it but seeing speed and natural width will win us a lot of games once Ole gets some players back. The door is open for Fred to walk into this midfield. Anyone but Matic.

What a £#%&!ing #@&%!, on and off the pitch, Lingard is.

Its understandable if people are a bit frustrated tbh.

Can only imagine that Lingard is as stupid as he looks. Taking pot shots in the final 10 minutes with good options around him. Lacks any intelligence whatsoever.

Pogba started to look decent when pushed further forward. Who could have predicted that eh? Insane that he is picking the ball up at the edge of our area.

Well, shit game and more question over our so-called star players. Greenwood had more threat than Rashford in the 10m or so he played. Noticeable that AWB, James and, in parts, Slab were the players that looked most committed. Ole is the right manager. Just going to take a while. A long while.

Can’t find the positivity thread but Daniel James is the shiznit. £#%&! everybody else.
