Man Utd 9-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Pamplemousse]

I'm not sure it's possible for me to be less optimistic.

 

Just hope for a decent performance and if we lose, we lose. Just need people back asap.

A week ago a terrible Sheff United team won at Old Trafford. Even with our injuries, our starting XI tonight will be better than the Sheff United team. I'm not saying that means we will win or even get a draw, as we remain big underdogs. But a result would hardly be a complete surprise.

OK, you've made me feel more optimistic.

We beat Liverpool with a depleted line up - so maybe we could spring a surprise

If that is the line up (and there is a fair chance it will be), I would have said Armstrong at RB makes more sense that Djenepo.

Armstrong has only just picked up form again after a long run of mediocre to poor games. He was brilliant before covid. I would be reluctant to “unseat“ him from his natural position. Also he is the slowest of all of the 10s so not sure it’s a great idea asking him to play there perhaps

[Manuel]

The inlaws are Utd 'supporters' (never been near Manchester of course). 

I'm lacking optimism as usual, but it would make it extra special if we could get something tonight.

Can see Cavani scoring tonight too dunno what it is about these Ibra/Lukaku/Carroll/Haller/Jiminez type players but it feels like target men have it easy against us

Thought he was out?

[Master Bates]

Was hoping Appy might have some mina news, but probably too soon for him to start.

 

(see what I done there yeah? No? mina/minor, TAXI!)

Crook saying Ramsey starting 👀

Think he’s ineligible due to signing after 12pm yesterday

Heard radio this afternoon say he was able to play so no idea 🤷‍♂️

[Appy]

Ramsay and Jankewitz in. 
 

Plenty of goalkeeping depth in squad.

Thank you 👍

[Mr X]

With our injuries list this could easily turn into Leicester MK 2! Hopefully saints will suprise us going to be one tough game though

Rumours circulating on twitter that Armstrong is missing through illness

Which luckily aren't true! Armstrong starts

[The Cat]

2 keepers on the bench. Surely we had someone else knocking about who could have got some experience from being in the match day squad?

Nope he starts for United in fact.

Interesting line up- Valery had one poor game against Arsenal and was out the door.

Lucky for Kayne that can't happen for him until the summer.

Ha!! We have 3 experienced defenders, JWP, Armstrong, Djenepo, our first choice strikers. Its hardly a team of kids. Sure, the bench is threadbare, but the first 11 ain't too bad.

No such luck

Ramsay... didn't see that coming. I think we're just going to have to grin and bear it for a game or two. I can't pretend Valery would have been much better.

[Picard]

A lot of rain at the moment,Hope that will even things out.

[SaintTex]

who is Tchaptchet?

I guess i am a not a super supporter.

[saintwbu]

Happy he’s playing Ramsay - no point shuffling players out of position when we have a RB, even if he’s not up to it. Plenty of average players can have good games, it’s maintaining that level that’s their problem. Excited to see Jankewitz.

Young CB. Never seen him play so no idea whether he has any promise. Just hope we don't have to find out tonight.

He's had two Pl starts. Think he's primarily CB but has played RB before.

[Lighthouse]

Wasn't he the one who got sent of for some European Youth game at St Mary's a couple of years ago? I could be wrong, he definitely played.

I don't know who Tchaptchet is but it's another 250 trees.

Happy with the line up, excited to see Jankewitz, pleased to see Ramsay start too

2 keepers on bench so well covered if we sustain injuries/loss of form in that department. Hugely reassuring.

[Dig Dig]

Just relieved that Djenepo isn’t playing RB, even though I’m sure it will be a difficult game for Ramsay 

[northam soul]

Forster too be brought on up front for the last 10 if we’re losing 

[Jonnyboy]

Is this on Sky or BT? 

[S-Clarke]

Probably as balanced a lineup we could field. Not as many 'square pegs' as I was fearing.

Let's just see what happens. If we still have a + goal difference at the end of this evening then it's a job well done as far as I'm concerned.

BT Sport 1.

[SKD]

Very concerned about tonight, perfect storm for us to get an absolute hammering. I suspect we’re about to hit rock bottom (for our recent form). Anything under 3 will be a result. 
 

4-0 

[Baird of the land]

Well can't say i expect anything based on that lineup. Ramsay at least gets an outing for his career scrapbook.

[Noodles34]

Can’t Forster play at RB?

[BotleySaint]

No panic. We "hope" players are coming back from injury so that's why we didn't sign any cover in January.

Actually, that's why we weakened the squad (3 out, 1 in) No panic...... !

Today could go horribly wrong.

[Dorchester Saint]

The melts are out already, writing off our chances. This team is more than capable of getting a result tonight. COYR!! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Well, I'm just going to try and enjoy the game if possible. I just hope that the team fight for everything, dont allow any sloppy passes and the officials don't spoil the game with biased decisions. 

In truth, I can see Ramsey or Jankowitz giving away a pen and the Ref joyously giving it in full knowledge that his mate on the screens will back him up. I can also see a heavy defeat. 4-0.

Bold faced confidence. I appreciate that but I'm afraid I am struggling to get on board with the idea that this is normal for any other  Premier League side.

[Danbert]

I was always impressed by Ramsay in youth games, and I hope he can prove his worth tonight. COYS!

[wadesmith]

I honestly think we could be all right, we’ve beaten better Man U teams than this with shitter line-ups than this.
