Saints vs Man Utd - Match Thread

[Lighthouse]

Come on Saints, if ever we were due a win in a fixture...

[trousers]

Utd choosing to change ends when winning the toss. Don't see that very often. Trying to gain a small psychological advantage I guess. 

[LGTL]

Not been a great start, Greenwood should have scored there. 

[OttawaSaint]

Huge let off. Should be 0-1. 

[igsey]

Utd pressing us like crazy, trying to just copy our tactics by the look of things. If we can keep it solid they will probably run out of steam before us.

[Sheaf Saint]

Somewhat confused by the odds on Bet365. They've got us at 3/1 but Utd at 20/21.

I appreciate that, historically Utd are a much bigger, more successful team than us. But on current form and league positions, it seems strange that they would be that much more favoured than us.

Vestergaard asleep

[Toussaint]

Utd have sussed us out

Vestergaard asleep

That was McCarthy's fault. Came and stopped. 

[striker]

Wow what a lousy start

[Saint Pete]

Got away with that Vestergaard. Bit shoddy from us so far.

Did he call for it though?

[OttawaSaint]

If that’d been called a penalty I’d’ve been done with football.

[nta786]

Yeah not a good start- should definitely be 1-0 down and got away with it

As for that penalty shout- yes there was contact but then we’d have to be giving penalties if we breathe on the opposition- seems to be the way things are going these days!

[Kingsland Codger]

Can anyone help me out. I purchased a NowTV day pass about 10 mins before kick off but when I try to watch the match on the Now TV app Zi get a message saying I need a pass to watch. How do I activate the pass?

[igsey]

Have Vestergaard and Bednarek swapped sides for this game?

[qwertyell]

Can't get out of our half. They're all over us. 

Finished poorly against Wolves and have started the same.

[Croissaint]

They love to go to ground 

[OttawaSaint]

Great challenge Romeu. Ref conned by Fernandes scream...

[Chez]

struggling to get out of our own half. United pressing us. We are failing to do the same.

[Toussaint]

Good boy Oriel

[Sheaf Saint]

Has anyone found a stream that's got the crowd noise? 

[niceandfriendly]

Streams guys?

Ralph’s just gathering info so we pummel them 2nd half...

[trousers]

Surprised that's not a yellow for Romeu. Knew exactly what he was doing there

[Toussaint]

When did players screaming under a challenge become a thing?

[Sheaf Saint]

That's what I thought initially, but the replay shows he made contact with his right foot before kicking the ball with his left.

[OttawaSaint]

Utd screaming every time they get tackled. That last one better have a broken leg...

Nothing to see there, move along .

They've probably always done it but we can actually hear it now with no crowds?

Ball needs to stick more up front when we do get the ball. MU screaming like girls at any kind of contact. Close from Fernandes.

Yeah that one just now from Van de Beek was ridiculous.

And he was up about 3 second later.

Think I'd take the draw right now

[igsey]

Walcott not having a good game.

[niceandfriendly]

Stream pleaaaaseee

[Jonnyboy]

When is Ings back? 

[edprice1984]

Not really got going yet. Giving away silly free kicks and also giving the ball away too much

[igsey]

JWP got booked according to 'taters.

Problem solved.

[nta786]

Oh come on he ran into Bertie there.

We need to see this out they are all over us 

[AlexLaw76]

United seem to be winning everything

[trousers]

We haven't looked this uncomfortable / 2nd best for a long while 

[Sheaf Saint]

Moss is such an embarrassment of a ref. He's falling for it every time and giving them a FK for every slightest hint of contact.

[SNSUN]

If there was any justice, the team with the best manager would win this, unfortunately they do have the quality up top that makes me think it’s going to be a United win.

 

Definitely need to get the first goal to rattle them. Come on Che!

Agreed, that is credit to United though I think, completely disrupting our usual game plan.

 

So long as they keep playing aimless long balls though I'm happy.

[nta786]

I want JWP to get into Ferdnandes. Harder with a yellow card I suppose

[nta786]

FUCKING GET IN THERE
