In a 433/4141 shape probably…

Easy to get the wrong Armstrong. 😂

That's not a terrible team. Though given the choice I'd swap Stu or Mara for Moi.

Agree. The coaches obviously see something in Moi that most of us are missing.

Yep; it's the right team - apart from Elyounoussi.  He should not be starting.

Half way through 2nd half. Stu for Moi. Mara comes on for AA.

Pitch looks very poor for this time of year.

Yes I know weather had its impact but that’s going to tear up badly in a month or two

From what I've seen so far you just as well have MUFCTV on!

They did a good interview with JWP and chatted about the youngsters we've brought in and our previous academy stars. It's always going to be mainly about Man Utd.

What people are missing is that the use of five subs has fundamentally changed the game; the best XI players don’t necessarily start the game any more.

Two years ago we lost this game, having been 2-0 up, because they were able to bring on Cavani whilst we brought on Shane Long. We’re going to need something on the bench to up the ante second half, and that something isn’t Moi.

Advertising him as they think he should be at United then. 

Happy with our team, but not with theirs. Was hoping they'd get complacent and stick Ronaldo and Maguire back in.

Quite nice not to have to listen to Neville and Carragher today

This stream working ok for me at the moment http://www.hesgoal.tv/watch/sports-hd9.htm

Enjoy the game all

He's gone for the wrong Armstrong again, the silly bear.

United are absolutely here for the taking. Just need the ball to drop a bit more kindly for us when attacking. There has been two where it was almost within JWP striking range

[SNSUN]

Quiet in here today innit. 😊

[Saint NL]

Incredible save for Bazunu 

 

Edit: and half the defenders

[sydney_saint]

Hmm I'm confused. That's not the sort of defending I expect from a bunch of son-in-laws....

[CB Fry]

Those blocks worth a point by themselves.

[coalman]

Holy moly. That's as good as a goal.

That overload at left back is a problem though

[Mr X]

Great commitment from saints so far!.... Nervous when United break though 

[qwertyell]

Bit of a sense of inevitability about this. We have no threat at all going forward. 

Going to have to be perfect in defence to get a point.

Why is the pitch so terrible?

Oh, of course the stickied match thread isn't the match thread.

Bella-Kotchap is an outstanding CB, especially when you consider his age. Really happy with our signings (so far).

He looks ready made.   Hard to believe he's just 20...Salisu and he look a formidable pairing already.   Happy days.

They ain't no Bedders and Stephens that's for sure. Overall I think we look really decent. Aribo, Baz, ABK and Lavia are all looking like quality additions. Just what the doctor ordered.

[bpsaint]

Diseased turf apparently- wondered why the pitch looked a bit shit.

[Mr X]

WTH has happened to the pitch never very seen it so bad 

[Mr X]

Who the hell was marking him? 

[bpsaint]

Double handball, no pen 🤷🏻‍♂️

I really don’t get this league? Quite clearly multiple handballs but nothing…

[OldNick]

Hilarious that the new thread system is already confused 

[AlexLaw76]

Thought we played a very good controlled game. Absolutely did. It deserve to lose that. Defended very well and very good in midfield.

Shouts to Djenepo, A.Armstrong, JwP, Salisu & Lavia.

But, my MoM (and new favourite player) is ABK. He is a fucking unit, quick and strong. He was the leader at the back and clearly has the tools for the very very top.

Also, surely one of those incidents should have been a penalty?
