Hope those at the top are finding a coach

larride:
De Ligt and Martinez has 1000 passes among themselves.

Zero ball progression. Playing as if we are winning comfortably.

no desire to win. Btw, I haven't seen Rashford do anything

Our defenders passing ball among themselves. Mehn! Our pace very slow
No intention to win the game

Why not Case, since he's also a goal threat.

Maybe Martinez should go off before we reduce to 10 men

afrodoc2:
Martinez has mental issues.

Nice one Rashford

No Amass for LB

Lana1:
Martinez and De Ligt should be rested for the next game. Maguire and Evans should be more than enough for Barnsley

I thought same but let's see if Eth had plan of rotating players this season

patrickmuf:
Bruno doesn't play this carelessly when he is with the Portuguese national team...Does he feel untouchable?

Zirkzee should be tried in his position

Jamiuokolaa:
Haha

See as that pass slice Southampton defence like hot knife through butter

Make I see why them no go relegate by week 28

cuz we're not playing as a team. Passes are mostly among our defenders and Gk

olabode89:
Dalot for just direct that ball at goal.... Orobosa na low key baller sha.

who's Orobosa

MRTA7:
ETH na lucky coach. Soton manager coached a win but his players are too mediocre.

could be his lucky day and probably the next against Barnsley and Twente but the likes of Porto and co are on the way

Wtf

Seems most of these guys are having a hangover from Friday night. Our attack bar Amad has been nonexistent.

Whatever is today's result favors United though

TheLequte:
Southampton’s losses in the EPL have been due partly to mistakes. They have knack of giving the ball away cheaply during build up, and their opponents punished them for it.

United have a good press and do win the ball while pressing. But they haven’t scored one single goal from a successful press.

This game could be decided by United’s finishing early on- should Soton stick to their buildup system and make the same mistakes.

maybe Eth doesn't knows/care about this

MRTA7:
He wants to build from the back but with his fullbacks high and wide. Problem is those teams who build from the back invert their full backs into midfield. Eth wants his to remain high and wide to help outnumber the other teams defence. The problem is that is a terrible idea and for it to work you need the best press resistant ball carrier to pickup the ball from the defence and get it forward to either wide areas or progress it and pass it through the lines. Casemiro is the opposite of such ball carrier. Its the reason he wants Frenkie so much.

in the build-up yes, unfortunately when the ball is lost, even FDJ will, he ain't Kante, if that'd be enough, to snuff out the opposition attack.

He already tried this last season and seen how abysmal it was. We're more compact against City, like what happened

Jamiuokolaa:
I think his point is that it could take quite a while before Mctom's replacement (Ugarte) reaches suitable fitness levels...

The man don dey take style dey use that one as excuse already

Ugarte is no Carrick or Rodri plus Kante, which is what the tactic probably demands; so I'm not expecting much

eph12:
I'm not sure what Mctom is supposed to do in this situation? The same mctom that always hide behind players? He will most likely be getting ready to run into the LFC 18

you're right. My point is about his tactics, where most of the players go forward includng CM which suits McTom well, instead of transitioning forward as a team. One of the major issues of this is lack of passing options.

Mrviktor:
I swear if it was arsenal or mancity or even Brighton.. they would have created a chance out of that..

U had the chance to kill 6 Liverpool players... By beating the press.. we had over 8 players in their half.

If we had beat that press we would have scored..

It's the reason I don't like Eth tactics. Why is Mainoo's pair, who's supposed to help in transitioning the ball to our forwards, far away from him.

Makes more sense why he wanted McTom to remain.

afrodoc2:
Make the guy no go give himself stroke o. Nobody force am to extend ETH contract.

well, I'm glad he cares about football. Let's see what their decision would be this season cuz I'm tired of Eth tactics.

Mrviktor:
Because all through today he has been hiding at the back of Liverpool players..instead of scanning and looking for space..

thought we sold McTom
Na the younger brother?

Mrviktor:
Stockport Seedorf

nawaoo!

Mrviktor:
Collier has played better than mainoo aje

because he's not tasked with receiving the ball from the defence

Mrviktor:
Does Onana even save anything..

his job is to pass shit

eph12:
I like as ETH is still here. By the time he leaves, there will be no doubt that he is a fraud

the guy's setup leaves the team vulnerable always. I'm tired of him n don't see any advantage sticking with him

Oasis007:


We are cooked. Slot slots in well at Liveepool but Erik still busy building the team. This Nigga has no more business at United.

when one doesn't know the shit he's building ofcourse it'll take forever

Mainoo has done his abi? Make everyone rest. Been complaining how he holds onto the ball instead of making a pass.

Ugarte still won't change shit

Collyer in for Case

Start Zirkzee! Start Zirkzee!! Now they're changing mouth

Our 2 CM, Case and Mainoo, are fvcking lazy. Case made the error and Mainoo was watching Diaz drift into his box but didn't track him

The confusion among our players, especially with their passes, would make one question if they do train together

obainojazz:
Martinez go hear wetin Delight talk so?

Lol. Hope it's not affecting the rubbish passes he's been making.
