SuperSAINT Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Looking forward to seeing how many of their injured players return for this one.
BotleySaint Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Can't expect anything from the next 2 games. So it'll be interesting to see what happens.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Without Stephens gifting the opposition goals, we'll hopefully put in a better display than we did at Arsenal.
ericofarabia Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Going for a S05 post code hat trick. The youngsters won 1-0 recently at Leigh against Man U, just before I flew back. Saturday I saw Eastleigh, the town of my birth win 2-0 at Salford ....... bring on United on Saturday
Baird of the land Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Just the thought of Shane Long running thither and hither..... Let's just hope we are defensivley organised again, like Chelsea.
trousers Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Injuries/fitness allowing, I assume we'll start with the same 11 as tonight. Sneaky 1-1 draw
SuperSAINT Posted 27 February, 2019 Author Posted 27 February, 2019 Rashford & Martial expected to be back
Heisenberg Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Couple of early United goals (like at arsenal) Finishing 3 or 4 nil Our next 5-6 fixtures do worry me
whelk Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 We have a longer rest between games. Small margins
sfc4prem Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 4-0 to United I reckon, two of which will be absolute gifts early in each half. We'll hit the crossbar once and the post once, adding to our frustration.
JRM Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Obviously expect to lose, 2 or 3-0, but Saints might surprise us and United have some injuries plus they play away to PSG on Tuesday so need to have one eye on that game. We've had a decent record at Old Trafford last few years.
Dusic Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 The big problem is up front whetre bith Long and Austin are unselectable. Shows have far off Gallagher is that he doesn't get any game time ahead of these two. Would start Long as Austin is too immobile, but wouldnt suprise me if RH added Armstrong for Austin as he clearly doesn't trust either CA or SL and really both should have left a long time ago.

I don’t believe it’s going to be anything other than boomerang long, followed by Austin 30 minutes unfortunately. I’d love it to be gallagher but can’t see it. Obafemi got fit for about a second and got a chance, so clearly Ralph doesn’t fancy Sam.
Toadhall Saint Posted 27 February, 2019 Posted 27 February, 2019 Weird I thought Austin put a decent shift in tonight maybe I was watching a different game to you You weren’t and he did.
Shroppie Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Same team, except Armstrong for Austin. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
hasper57saint Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Watched MOTD and saw the raw brutality of Drogba and Lukaku. Do we have anyone who can handle them? Yoshi will try but who else? I would love a draw but believe we are toothless up front. It wasn't the strikers who scored last night but two midfielders. Hope the united bubble bursts soon as I'm personally sick and tired of hearing all the verbiage from the media.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 A draw would be fantastic, but a tonking is much more likely. 3-0.
tajjuk Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 We will probably lose the next two, but Man Utd have injuries so there is a little hope there and Spurs seem to have lost it a bit now they know they have no hope of the title.
Cabrone Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Already booked this one as a loss so anything, even a narrow defeat, would be a bonus.
Saint Pete Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Reluctantly, it probably has to be Long in for Austin for this one. More suited to the chasing game we will want to play away to Utd. Keep Austin fresher for the home games and bring him on late if we are still in with a shout of getting something. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
doddisalegend Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Weird I thought Austin put a decent shift in tonight maybe I was watching a different game to youAustin did work hard last night but that doesn't really distract from the fact he really doesn't suit the pressing side of the game well he tries but he really never puts the opposition CBs under pressure. He also rarely wins the ball when we go long inviting pressure back on ourselves. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
saints-cris Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Not expecting anything here, a comfy 3-0 loss.
RedWillie Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Free hit, move on to spurs match where I think we could get a point
doddisalegend Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Man Utd are a different animal to the one we played earlier in the season. In the end that home game was a good point for us. I'd love to see us pull off another Chelsea away performance but I think we will get beasted by Man U. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
S-Clarke Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Not expecting anything from the next two, so let's see what happens.

Wade Garrett Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 They're sh*te and were lucky against Palace. We'll f*cking hammer them, 3-0. Get in.
Lighthouse Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 I'd go with the same team as Fulham but with Armstrong in for Austin.
Shroppie Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 DROGBA ? Must have missed him coming out of retirement and signing for Utd Where's that Pogba is a dirty big **** who can put himself about at will as he's exempt from normal treatment from refs. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
hasper57saint Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 DROGBA ? Must have missed him coming out of retirement and signing for Utd Sorry. POGBA (sounds the same!) but put it down to an 'age thing'!
nta786 Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 going to predict a routine 2-0 win for United- Lukaku and someone else to score.
Manuel Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Enjoyed the 2-2 a few months back. We played well that night and ManU were poor. Different managers for both clubs this time around.
waylander Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 They have the CL fixture against PSG next Weds, is it too much to hope that thye may rest a few players ahead of that?
Saint Billy Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 They have the CL fixture against PSG next Weds, is it too much to hope that thye may rest a few players ahead of that? Even if they rest some players we are going to have our work cut out. A hammering will do us no good at all as far as confidence is concerned, so I expect Us to play a 1 9 1 formation.
fanimal Posted 28 February, 2019 Posted 28 February, 2019 Long will start and do his 60 minutes instead of Charlie the impact sub; I think we have more chance of getting a point from this game than Spurs at home for some reason - perhaps because of a feel good off a win and up to speed match wise rather than the lethargy v arsenal. Otherwise the same team.
benjii Posted 1 March, 2019 Posted 1 March, 2019 I'd start Austin again and leave Long for the last half an hour. We're more likely to be on the front foot, relatively speaking, in the first hour than the last half hour so we should have Austin on the pitch during that period. Long is useful if we've got something to hold onto.
DT Posted 1 March, 2019 Posted 1 March, 2019 Keep the same team for once. Reward performance, build momentum. It beats fatigue. Keep goal difference down. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just make a couple of crunching clean tackles early on and politely pull them to their feet saying “hope you’re ok, I would hate for you to miss the PSG game”.
qwertyell Posted 1 March, 2019 Posted 1 March, 2019 Park the bus, there's no way we're winning this. United can be poor at breaking down compact, deep lying, hard working teams. If we can escape with a 0-0, it'll be a sensational result. 5-4-1. Gunn; Valery, Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard, Bertrand; Romeu, Hojbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; Redmond. That's pretty much how we lined up at Arsenal, and things didn't exactly go well, so I wouldn't hold out too much hope... I think Spurs at home is a better chance of an upset. They've been on the absolute limit all season, with multiple players having no rest since the World Cup and injuries piling up - the last few games they've looked out on their feet. I never thought they could maintain their "title challenge" as it was inevitable that they'd hit the wall at some point. It feels like that point has arrived. They've obviously got some match winners up their sleeves, so it won't be easy, but with a fair wind and a bit of luck I can see us getting something. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

If there's not much hope of the 'park the bus' approach working, then perhaps we've nothing to lose by going for a more gung-ho approach? Apart from goal-difference damage limitation I guess? I've always felt we've done better against the 'big 6' when we give it a go rather than sit back. (although, I accept that we arguably no longer have the calibre of offensive player required for a more positive approach)
