Start of a tough run of fixtures, so luckily we've already got some points on the board and a nice, healthy gap to the drop zone.

 

Whoever we put out is going to look unfit, badly motivated and lacking in confidence, so I'll just go with

 

McC

 

Valery - Yoshi - Vest - Bednarek - Bertrand

 

Hoj - Lemina

 

Armstrong

 

O'Bafemi - Gabbi

Hoedt will waltz back in the side and cause panic and unrest to the whole back 4. With Hughes in charge we will just be “unlucky” like every game.

Can't see us winning this one either, or the next one. Something has to change. Games we are not expected to get anything, we no longer get anything. Games we should be getting something, we still don't get anything. Might as well give the youngsters another shot and leave out the failure specialists. Cedric, Hoedt and Austin for a start.

No-one picks Hoedt except the guy who matters. Heartbreaking, but at least if he does it one more time, he’s gone I reckon. He’s like adding a line of banana skins to our back four

Hoedt will play and lukaku will score. Saints will lose 3-1

 

Hughes will say we played well but a couple of mistakes cost us and you cant allow mistakes against the top sides.

 

We will all post about hughes needing to be remove from his job but nothing will happen

Lukaku hasn't scored for a while has he? Good timing.

 

How can you expect anything else other than a standard Utd win. I used to be positive, but this team has just killed me.

I think everyone has already predicted this game tbh...

we will take the lead, Ings to grab a goal around 30th minute.

 

but then the inevitable happens as we reach minute 70, we tire out and Martial scores their equaliser, completely swinging momentum before Lukaku bundles home the winner for them in the 86th minute... we appear to wake up after this and best we muster in a JWP cross that Yoshida doesn't connect his head properly to and it's game over.

 

Hughes standard that we are 'ruing missed opportunities again' and that the 'boys are trying'.

It will be 217 days since our last home win on Saturday. Gunning for Sunderland's record of 364

 

That can't be right? do you mean home win against a 'Top side' ?

 

We beat Bournemouth at home in April....I'm sure that was a saturday?

So about 7 months ago? Which would be around 217 days.

Either a 3 or 4 nil loss with United barely breaking a sweat. Hopefully this will be the final straw and Hughes is out the door but can’t say I’m optimistic of that.

Youd like to think hes learnt his lesson on who he picks but clearly he wouldnt have learnt anything...........whats Bednarek done wrong ?....Stephens and Vestergard in the back 4 for me and Bertrand.

Actually think this may be closer than people expect. United haven't been performing well and Mourinho's under pressure. Still expect us to lose, maybe just 1-0.

We have a horrendous record at St Mary's against Man Utd, so yes we will lose. Hughes final game.

 

We have an horrendous record at St Mary's against anyone tbh.

Haven't managed to get to SMS for quite a while now, so looking forward to this one, purely due to being back at a match again. Is the atmosphere likely to be pretty flat, or will the reputation of the opposition raise the noise level a bit?

 

Agree that Hoedt should NOT be starting - even a place on the bench is questionable. Austin should be nowhere near the team, either. The side played pretty well last night, so a similar line-up would be encouraging. Hopefully Ings might return, though?

Don't see us playing 3 at the back unless we expect United to start with a front two.

 

I think we should stick with 3 regardless. We dont have enough quality at centre back to go with 2 and we look much more solid with 3. Especially given utd’s attacking talent

 

If Hoedt starts I don’t think i’ll bother watching

If they score early then we know its game over; if we score first and Cedric is playing then we know we will concede; and how many points now is it we have lost from a winning position? I would love to beat Manure to shove JM's cheap shot at us down his almighty gob, but I just cant see where the goals will come from unless we have a couple of freaky own goals! And Obafemi seems to have caught our srtikers disease immediatley poor chap...

Hoedt will play (are they angling to sell him...there’s no other reason I can think of)? And we will lose clearly, but not necessarily because of Hoedt but because we can’t score won’t score. Prediction...0-3.

 

Will Hughes get the push? Nah, this club is going to sleep walk to relegation once again but this time make a success of it.

I suppose it would be safe to bet a considerable sum on Man Utd winning this fixture, safer than investing in the stock market at least.

 

If you do that we will take a comfortable 2-0 lead and Man Utd just wont show up. Then after 60 minutes we will miss an absolute sitter to make it 3-0 and within 5 minutes Man Utd will score, probably after the most blatant handball you'll have ever seen at a corner (coupled with some terrible marking). We then completely retreat into our own penalty box and Lukaku nets a tap in in injury time, for a 2-2 which helps neither side as the other 4 of the bottom 5 all win.

Saw Fellaini scored yesterday & imagined him owning Hoedt.

 

Don't knock it, Poch's first game (0-0 at H v Everton), he played Saints on his own that night, one of the best oppo performances I've seen at SMS . Luckily Everton (Moyes?) hadn't at that time unlocked the level where Fellaini lopes fd and gets an 89th minute winner. Unfortunately for us that level is now well known, I'm sure we have plan.

Sticking with a draw as United need a win and we will play counterattacking football with Obafemi the speedster supported by Redmond and Moi on the flanks.

 

Keep it tighter at the back with the same back four as Leicester game for consistency.

 

Lem-Hoj-Rom midfield for a 4-3-3 which is the Southampton way and played in all our teams.

 

May even nick this one and put pressure on Mourinho to lose his job.

It’s good to be free!

Hoedt's last game before new manager comes in and actually watches him try and defend/lose the ball/moan at everyone/generally be turd

0-3 A very average ManU score 3 by midway through the second half and ease off. Hughes claims we were unlucky (again!!!) and deserved something from the game. Its all so predictable.
