FT 1-1. Well done lads!

Got away with one there. Danso very naive.

Good point, well defended in the end. United poor in that second half.

[Sheaf Saint]

Well earned point. Could well have won that with 11 men.

 

Yep. We were looking the team most likely to score again up until the red card.

 

Given how much pressure they put us under after that, I'll gladly take that point. Not a chance we would have held on to that last season, so the signs of improvement are there.

[Dalek2003]

A fair point.

[Saints foreva]

Draw the fair result. We grafted for it when Danso got sent off. Good defending by JV and JB.

 

I'll take that.

[eelpie]

A fair point.

 

And up to 13th! (for a few minutes)

[Sunglasses Ron]

Big point, that holding on will do wonders for morale plus we’re out the bottom 3.

 

A lesson to learn for Danso, but thankfully no harm done.

[saintwbu]

Silly from Danso but I really like him so far, will be great at CB I think. Very pleased for Vest, been criticised by all, including me, and I always say he should be more dangerous from set pieces. Well today he was a monster, and got an important goal too, great stuff.

[striker]

Good point, we'll take it. Can't believe BigV scored.

[SFC Forever]

good point in the end.

hope Danso learns from his two yellows

[redkeith]

Good point without our two best wide men.

 

Bednarek and Romeu were awesome but MOM to Vestegaard. Great blocks and a great header.

 

JWP, who should have been helping Cedric with James, wasn't even in the camera shot for the United goal. Cedric recovered well from that though.

 

 

Adams needs to hit the target with his next effort.

[Convict Colony]

good point in the end.

hope Danso learns from his two yellows

 

He seems intelligent enough to be able to.

 

Mustn't forget as well he set up Veestagarrd for the goal.

 

He will learn and improve

[Winchester Red]

Good result

 

Happy with 4 points from the opening 4 games as 2 of them were Liverpool and Man U

[Ohio Saint]

Syupid early kick off. I was wasting my time while waiting for kick off. Just caught the last couple of minutes.

[saintadjg]

Vest & Rom had great games imo. Very good result considering the sending off. Utd have fallen pretty far. The likes of Rashford wouldn't get near the top sides starting 11.

[saintwbu]

Yeah forgot to mention Romeu. What a performance, Hoj didn’t turn up at all so he basically ran CM on his own.

[Dalek2003]

Good result

Yep, the real disappointment was the implosion against Burnley. But as you say 4 points ok, 6 would have been nice. A steady start and we will be OK if we are more clinical against our mid to lower rivals.

[Convict Colony]

Yeah ROM was immense

[CWD]

Over the course of the game it’s a fair result, the momentum really ebbed and flowed between the two teams. I thought we were looking favourites to get the next goal before the red card so that’s a shame, but overall we’ve gotta be happy with a point after defending with ten men for 20 odd mins. Some really good performances from the CBs and Romeu in particular.

 

Utd are pretty ordinary but Wan-Bissaka is some player. Tackle after tackle.

[Bomosaint]

Romeu was a beast in the second half today!

[LGTL]

Brilliant second half which seems to be a theme. Romeu outstanding.

 

Utd use to have the best away support in the country, amazing what a few years of nothing does as they were terrible today.

 

Great point and happy with 4 points from those 4 games.

[redder freak]

What a game from Vestergaard. Awesome. Good Saints team performance too, apart from a few mistakes which could have cost us dear but thankfully Manchester’s second team couldn’t capitalise.

[Saint Billy]

Great point, shame about the sending off but sounded deserved. Good to see some spirit in the side.

[Saint_Tony]

A decent effort given the circumstances, defended a lot better but stupid from Danso. Adams really needs a goal though, had a great chance which he sliced. Another positive contribution from Boufal. I think with him, Redmond and Djenepo we should be able to get enough goals to stay up this season. Difficult to assess 4 games in, but having played Liverpool and Utd 4 points isn't a disastrous return.

Lets hope Danso learns from his naive red card in the same way Valery did last season!

 

[The Kraken]

As said a great performance from Vestergard and Bednarek, Romeu was a monster in the centre too. Pretty poor game from Adams, Ings wasn’t good either. Would quite like to see Boufal through the middle with Redmond and Djenepo either side, if Obafemi can ever be not injured that would be a lively front 4 (probably get ripped defensively though...Chris Nicholl style football).

[Saint Without a Halo]

We seem to be improving game by game which is good to see!

We also managed to hold on without conceding in the last few minutes, as has been our habit of late!

Obviously the solution is to take a man off last ten minutes!

[eurosaint]

Battling performance which bodes well for the Skates game !!

Rom, Vest & Bed immense !

COYS

[hasper57saint]

Watched it with my Grandson and we enjoyed the determination of our defenders. I'm a little disappointed in Adams though. Perhaps he would be better as and early sub. Yet again Young got away with his tackles but the Yellow he received was well deserved. Rashfords 'corner' was not! All in all well done to all. Once Saints scored the Mancs went silent. Arrogant s.h.i.t.s

[trousers]

Out and about today so not followed the game, thus a draw is a decent result on the surface.

 

At least it gives the mods further chance to turn a blind eye to the next "XXX days since a win against the top 6" post...

Would've taken a point at 12.30pm but felt we were bossing the game before Danso's stupid red turned the second half momentum. OR and JV were outstanding and glad JV finally won a header in the opposition box. Three games unbeaten #WeMarchOn

[adrian lord]

Very pleased.

[Useful Idiot]

Very happy with a point there.

 

Was a bit unsure that we could afford to play 4-2-2-2, but we might be able to get away with it if Vestergaard can keep up this form!

[Give it to Ron]

Romeu MOTM outstanding with JWP absolute dogsh1t today.

Good defence today Cedric did well but at the end scared me with Pogba coming deep needs to chat more.

Good point

[Heisenberg]

Called the Danso red card, could sense it. Shame as he and we looked decent up to then. Decent long throw on him too.

 

Take the point - rom and vesty excellent. Hoj seemed out of sorts

 

Boufal has potential

[jamesfp1]

Long throws are back!

[saintwbu]

Important to point out that Boufal was up against Wan Bissaka too, for me the best defence full back in the league. Really wished he'd been switched out to the right hand side to face Young. Thought he did well, worked hard, they were definitely worried about him as he always seemed to have 3 players in front of him.

I even wondered what the odds were of a Danso red card as soon as he got the booking, felt inevitbale, surprised you didn't make some money out of that one.

 

Thought he looked a good player though, encouraging signs apart from his crazy yellow.

[Ohio Saint]

I missed it due to the stoopid early kick off....Consoling myself by watching the footage of the 76 cup final on Saints site.

 

Edit: on my 3rd play now. Spoiler alert, we win!

[saintwbu]

Long throws are back!

 

a CB at full back a long throw expert, Ralph's been watching Pulis

[Ed Rooney]

Amazing the different views people have.

 

Romeu was dog **** first half, hojberg was carrying him

Yeah, I thought the same. Wan-Bissaka put in a maginificent performance here last season and he was on similar form today. Putting Boufal against him felt like we were negating his best attribute. That being said, I thought Boufal played ok in general.

 

Some people might point to his poor pass to Hojbjerg as typical-Boufal, but the failure was not putting him earlier, after that it was a poor run from Hojbjerg, didn't give Boufal a good angle to play.

[Avenue_Saint]

What was Danso thinking???? Up until then he was the best player in a shirt. Fantastic buy.

 

Hate sitting in family stand, can’t express myself fully with kids about but had perfect view of Utd goal. Carbon copy of Liverpool game mane goal, just stood off player, absolutely pathetic. Was screaming close him down, then bang and once again, goal!

 

Romeu, take a bow. Was fantastic against Liverpool. Was man of the match today. Got a second wind again. Must’ve been the solid Ralph pre-season. Fantastic performance. Lost count number of times broke it up or won it back. Class.

 

Overall, if Danso doesn’t go sliding in like that, we win that game.

 

Utd are not the same Utd of old.

 

Up the saints!!!

[Bomosaint]

Romeu was an absolute beast in the second half today! One of his best games for a long time

[stknowle]

Got to be happy with a point in the circumstances. We've picked up 4 points in 2 games without playing well which augers well for if and when we do start to perform. Still loads of issues, particularly Ings and Adams who look static and unthreatening.

[Give it to Ron]

Yep and don’t agree with yours one bit Hojberg and JWP were poor and dragging Romeu across and he was pulled out of position second half he was immense

Ings at least wins the ball in the air as was shown again today but where was his support? He challenged almost every possible header and on this performance he was an improvement from previous games. MOTM for me was Romeu he was outstanding once he got his second wind.

[doddisalegend]

Good game to be at. Can't fault the players effort of work rate today at times though they are just let down by their own lack of quality.

 

Defence was pretty solid help out by a bit of luck.

 

Midfield was decent mostly thanks to Romeu who was Motm today one of his best performances in a long time

 

Attack looked about as threatening as a blunt, rusty butter knife. Neither Ings, Adams or Boufal looked threatening to often over doing it in the final third and wasting the few opportunities we had.

 

Danso looks like a good player quick, strong good with the ball. A shame about the red card but then the ref was just looking to give man u an advantage so at least he was happy.

Romeu was superb and vestagard ! Che Adams was very static .....Boufal played ok ...needs to be more in a no10 role in my opinion ...Ony worries is no other proper left back and the midfield 3 will be ****ed in half a season ..as we have little else .
