Because we have a winger playing at left back. 

On a side note, anyone know if the cricketers opens early for early kick offs? 11am or so? if not, anyone know of other pubs open around that time? 
cheers 

Given the state of us nearly every moment of playing 3/5 at the back this season, it is probably fair to say that formation was the greater risk

Voted for all in 1 thread as it's easy to work out where we are in the lifecycle within like 5secs.

Here's a quick guide.

1. Anxiety phase - Lots of formation and line up chat and the other team are world beaters = Match build up.

2. Kneejerk reactions -Lots of FFS, he's useless and Ralph out comments =Match thread.

3. Hindsight mastery phase - We got lucky, other team shit, Ralph still useless, we need to buy more players = Post Match Thread

Most accurate view of this site I’ve ever read. Bravo!

Psychologists would have a field day lol 😂

We're due a win vs Utd. Not beaten them since 2016 and not beaten them at home since 2003.

If that statement doesn't have MLG stampeding towards his keyboard then nothing will...

I do hope we win this as a number of family members and work colleagues are Man Utd fans. Hopefully they'll turn up like they did against Brentford.

I have very fond memories of the victories over them in the '90's at The Dell, especially the changed kit at half-time and the 6-3 victory. Fingers crossed it turns out like those days.

Two clubs at roughly the same stage of development this season with many new players and coaches. Home advantage to Saints, quality advantage to United. The newly minted Adams will be hard to stop so there will be goals in it for us but our defenders are still accident prone so goals in it for them as well.

Looks for all the world like a 2-2.

A fast start by us, with a goal in the first 15-20 mins. All over them, should be 3-4 up by half time.

2nd half is the reverse, they score on around 55-60 mins and then bags the win on 87 mins. #Saintsy.

Scoring 3-4 in the first half is anything but 'Saintsy'.

Worth a read.

Changing formation several times, Hasenhuttl's in-game decision-making was outstanding during the second halves of both matches.

Since Hasenhuttl took charge in December 2018, only Leicester City of the "non-Big Six" clubs has benefited from more goals and assists from players who started on the bench.

Will be busy in town tomorrow as Pride is on as well.

Road closures and no doubt some cruise ships in,  will have to leave the game on 70 mins to beat the traffic

Not seen it posted already - we have Andy Madley on the whistle for this one, never know which way the wind is blowing with him, and Antony Taylor sat in the Transit in the car park watching TV, with his mate and the wonky line crayons.

In a 433/4141 shape probably…

If Perraud isn’t fully up to speed yet, I don’t think I can grumble too much with this.

 

That would prob be the only change I would make, appreciating that Moi probably won’t offer much going forward (I also think he is pretty ineffective most of the time) but I think he is picked for the job he does defensively!

Looking forward to seeing where we are as far as a squad after the Leeds/Leicester reactions… we simply cannot afford to ‘react’ after being a goal down we need to be up for it from the get go

Utd will be bouyant after their win on Monday, so lets hope it turns into complacency

We simply have to start Che Adams. He is not only in form but integral to our build up play, other than that I wouldn’t be looking to change too much from Saturday

 

—- ———Bazunu—————-

KWP - ABK - Salisu - Djenepo

———--Lavia —- JWP———

—Aribo——————-S Armstrong

——-Che Adams—-Mara———-


Potentially play Ely infront of Djenepo… I know he doesn’t add a lot offensively and he is a bit boring but what he does is offers an effective aid on the left side in front of a weak LB and until we have a LB that we can rely on defensively

I've had a great idea to solve the "unacceptable behaviour" in the Itchen North - clear out the ruffians and make these blocks the new 'Rainbow Curva Nord', what a colourful, cuddly section this could become. :classic_tongue:

Back in the old days we used to call sticking minority groups in their own areas racism/apartheid/fascism/bigotry these days we call it progress with them over the moon about, amazing what good marketing department can do

I quite like this line up. 2-0 to us today - Prowsey and Aribo to score COYR :)

I worry that Casemiro is going to make them a much more solid team. Pleased no Martial and with all the Ronaldo rumours this could even be his last ever game for United. 

I want to see us go for it from the start and put them under pressure. Think we’ll score but ultimately lose this one, hope Saints prove me wrong!

If Perraud is fit then I would pick this team but with Stu Armstrong instead of Adam.

Yeah, I was torn between the two Armstrongs.  Adam has impressed me in the way we've used him this season. He's been involved in a big way both in terms of defence and offence and has had a hand in some of our goals. I just think his pace and tenacity offers a bit more than Stu at the moment. However, a fully firing Stu when on top of his game is hard to leave out - unfortunately we don't seem to see that from him these days so right now Adam is the better option for me.

Lots of discussion about the performance of strikers on the edge of the box I'd imagine

It'll be interesting to see who the impact subs will be this time. Adam Armstrong is more likely to have an effect late on so I'd start Stuart

Wouldn't be surprised if Adams doesn't start, or Stu, seems that with the 5 subs rule, starting your strongest team is not the preferred tactic, but I don't know yet whether that is the same regardless of who and where you are playing. Against Leicester it certainly seemed to be bring your best players (those who can impact the game) on after half-time. It does seem that this rule change has created a new dynamic and different thinking.
