    Will be interesting to see exactly how they set up, rashford/fernandes/Greenwood means that the majority of play will probably come through the middle, I would have preferred to see Cavani start and a little bit more width, as he would be able to occupy the CB's a lot more and open space up for the others

    Curious to see who plays further forward, Donny or Bruno.

    Bruno surely. Why neuter our strongest attacking player.

    Glad Ings isnt available but Che Adams will annoy our backline all day. Hes a thorny player with a great work rate.

    I like this starting lineup, only other player I’d really like in is Cavani. I guess tactics may prohibit it but he’s the best striker or target man at the club by a mile.

    Martial and Rashford are not reliable strikers, I think a player like Cavani helps them do their thing better.

    Not worried about Martials absence, I’m still unsure whether he’s ever going to find consistency to be a solid team addition for the season.

    Hope VDB plays well, really want to see him own a spot

    and the tackle on donny, ref being very lenient to Southampton so far. Bet a United player is the first one booked in this game.

    I knew that was going in the second Ward Prowse stepped over it.

    FFs.

    Terrible defending. But we should prob be a goal up. Now let’s see what thus team is made of. Harsh to be down but this happens.

    I'd love to have someone who can take corners like Ward Prowse

    They’re being let away with a tonne of cynical fouls. Another one just there and not even a warning.

    We struggled against this crowd last season as well. They're above us in the table for a reason.

    They actually started really well, didn’t get any breaks and conceded a poor goal. Usually when we lose we have been terrible and very deserving of defeat.

    Need to get their sh*t together here though. Ref needs to start giving a few yellows cause Southampton are fouling all the time.
