Eww.

 

[FrankJH]

Am I the only one who read Utd's formation as a straight 4-4-2 (with a diamond midfield)?

Not sure why Sky were talking about wing backs with three at the back (went out to the shop so I might have missed something)

 

[fez]

I would assume the same Frank. Hoddle seems to be backing Southampton to win this.

What will happen is Southampton will play more than well enough to win about 4-0 but will fail to finish well enough and concede some soft goals. We seem to do that against the big teams

 

[Shamikebab]

We need to play a lot better than we did last time against them.

 

[Shamikebab]

Well it would help if we stopped giving them the ball every time we get it...

 

[Derek W]

Man U win or draw for my double please

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

That Di Maria first touch

 

[fez]

I can feel it already, I am going to hate it every time Valencia gets the ball this game.

Why would it be any different for this game?

 

[The Running Man]

It's not been a great start. Mata and di maria together not stronk enough. Could do with another like hererra instead.

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

Phil Neville "LvG likes his players to use the full length of the pitch"

Really?! Some tactical genius there.

yup.. still can't cross for toffee :/

 

[Shamikebab]

Please stop giving it to Valencia

 

[fez]

If often think "why doesn't valencia cross it instead of checkin back and passing backwards 99% of the time". Then he crosses it and I remember why.

 

[fez]

Phew! Thought that was Di Maria that was injured.

 

[Shamikebab]

See, did Valencia put the ball out of play there or was he trying to cross?

 

[Raymond Lin]

If often think "why doesn't valencia cross it instead of checkin back and passing backwards 99% of the time". Then he crosses it and I remember why.

I always wonder how he actually made his living as a winger, surely one of, if not the most important attribute is crossing. The man cannot cross, he just hits it hard and low and for some reason it is like he aims it at the first defender !!!

 

[gilchrd]

Ah ********, could do without Toby being injured.

 

[Shamikebab]

What is this ref doing??
