9-0 and it didn't even look like the players were trying for most of the second half.
Could have smashed the record if they really wanted it.

Bruno running back with the ball at either 7 or 8 nil is the exact type of shithousery I’ve come to love him for

 

[Schneiderman]

Agree, It's not like they can say our NINE goals were unjustified by VAR hahahahaha.

Klopp: "Should have been 1-0 Southampton their goal was onside"

 

[Falcow]

Good and all as Pogba has been lately, probably our best player for last number of games.....I think we are a bit more fluid without him.

 

[Gordon S]

Weird game! Even if Southampton were playing all game with 10 men they should still be able to defend better than this. Having said that, our attacking play was pretty good and it felt like we could have scored even more. Hopefully our attacking players can get some momentum in to next game. Love Masons left foot, his crosses are inch perfect.
Nice to see Martial doing some good stuff at last, he needed that!
9-0! Fecking hell!!

OP looks more like YouTube than RedCafe.

highlight skill reels made by some obscure youtuber rather than match highlights.

Ole OUTSTANDING!

 

[Feed Me]

Ruthless

 

[ajay1002]

I really expected Utd to take their foot off the gas after 6-0, was nice to see them be ruthless. Reckon they would have had at least 10 if the correct amount of stoppage time was added on.

Terrible defending for Saints' disallowed goal though. Can't afford to keep doing that

 

[Jibbs]

The only game of the season I missed and they score 9. Wonderful.

 

[Flexdegea]

Ever since Hattenhuttle started crying against beating Liverpool it has gone sour for him.

Same thing happened to Poch.......cried after making a final which was truly bizarre............and snowballed since it.

We finish top 4 last season and we're on our way to back it up this season.

 

[SER19]

We’d have scored ten if they’d played the correct amount of added time instead of 3 minutes.

Thought it was only me annoyed by this

 

[FrankDrebin]

Shaw and Bissaka were fantastic tonight.

 

[lysglimt]

I dare to say that the poor Swiss guy wont be playing more for Southampton under Hasenhuttl

 

[Hoof the ball]

Greenwood is so low on scoring form that even in a 9-0 game where even the camera man notched up a goal, Mason didn't hit the net.

 

[Bobcat]

We were great in the wide areas and in the box tonight.

Soton had pretty much given up at 2-0 and were defending with 9 men, but we cut them open again and again

 

[Withnail]

The pundits seem furious that we scored nine goals. Not really sure as to why.

I'm watching a yank stream. They seem happy enough, although Beglin wasn't of course.

What a game! Can we vote them all MOTM?

Absolutely delighted with that. Surprising or maybe not so surprising amount of posters moaning about various bullshit during a 9 nil was completely baffling.

I'd say each to their own but feck the negative twats.

 

[choccy77]

Should have been at least 12 tonight!

 

[Eric's-collar]

Strange , should be over the moon after a 9-0 win but almost feel like Saints gave up n made it easy, n VAR killing football for me, maybe I'm just old school

 

[NinjaZombie]

I'll be honest. When the first red card happened, I was dreading the prospect of a frustrating 90 minutes of us trying to break down Southampton's low block.

Pleasantly surprised when we proceeded to zip quick incisive passes in their half. Maguire was especially good at this today which is a big plus because there has been justified complaints of him taking too much time and touches on the ball.

Once we got that first goal (Shaw with another brilliant cross) and then added to it with the second, game was never in doubt.

I'd be fuming if I were Southampton though. Second red card was harsh. And their goal should've stood. When you're splitting hairs on offside decision and talking about how thick the line should be when trying to decide on a goal decision via VAR, the attacking team should have the benefit of the doubt.

I thought Cavani, Shaw and McTominay were the standout performers today. VDB worryingly looks a little lost out there.

 

[Superunknown]

Anyone a little bit gutted we didn't get 10? Just to be able to see a 10-0 in our lifetime. That would have finished me off tonight.

 

[United Hobbit]

Know obviously need to take into account the fact they ended with 9 players and played almost all the game with 10 men

But really really enjoyed that!

Want to see that desire in every game

Hopefully its kicked a few back into goalscoring form

Wonder what we would have scored if Cavani et al had stayed on!

Nice to be able to rest players and still score some goals in the 2nd half

We need to take this performance forward and beat Everton, not just make it a one off. Obviously don't expect 9 each game but I want to see more performances like this rather than the slow starts we've been doing lately

 

[pascell]

Great performance. Have to feel for Southampton fans having to watch that whilst in lockdown, must have been hard enough the first time.

 

[The holy trinity 68]

The only game of the season I missed and they score 9. Wonderful.

Miss more please.

 

[DoomSlayer]

We scored 9 goals in a Premier League game, I'm in genuine disbelief. Maybe a lot of people have seen it happen, but I'm too young and it's just unbelievable to me.

 

[U.N.C.L.E]

Were you blind when he scored the first one against 10 men? Same as the rest of the team?

Your reply is funnier the more I read it.

 

[Harry190]

Don't know what to say, really

 

[Ali Dia]

Good and all as Pogba has been lately, probably our best player for last number of games.....I think we are a bit more fluid without him.

i agree. He slows it down too much and he also doesn’t fight hard to get it back when he loses it and it sets a tone. Class player but he lets other teams dominate us in the middle.

 

[robinamicrowave]

As much of a freak result as the Sheffield United defeat, just for different reasons obviously. Southampton were already so depleted that they had to give a full debut to a kid, and then he went and got himself sent off. It was never going to go well from that point. Then, as if things weren't bad enough at 6-0, another red card led to another three goals right at the end. Still, 6-0 would have been an excellent result for United regardless, and it would have been proof that they're a good side - and proof that any hyperbolic screeching after the Sheffield United game was misplaced. United are a good-but-limited side with a good-but-limited manager. This has always been true and it will always be true. It doesn't mean you can't win the league this season, it doesn't mean you will win the league this season.

But this last week should be proof that trying to read into United's performances at the moment is a pointless exercise. Beat Liverpool, lose to the worst PL team in living memory, then go and batter Southampton 9-0. Think United have to be careful to enjoy this kind of scoreline without focusing on it too much - it'll likely galvanize you but it could just as easily go to your heads. There's a long way to go yet, and all teams are due another sticky patch I'm sure, but it seems City, United and Liverpool are so much better suited to this kind of season than the other 4/5 teams who considered themselves "title contenders" before Christmas. There are obviously games in hand all over the shop, but I'd be hugely surprised if the top three were any different come May/June. Up to City to go and win at Burnley and then try to avoid defeat at Anfield at the weekend.

 

[Wal2Fra]

Not sure about that. We only scored 4 in the half that Shaw was there, then got 5 in the half that Fred played there. I think that's undisputable evidence that Fred is our best leftback.

But Shaw was up against 11 men, Fred only faced 9 - I think further evidence will be required before this one is solved...

 

[SirAnderson]

Why the FECK did we finish all our goals in 1 game???

 

[United Hobbit]

Ooh bit worrying Ole just said Cavani had a bad tackle on his ankle which is why he took him off and hopes it doesn't smell up

Fingers crossed he's OK, same with Scott hope he isn't sore tomorrow

 

[Oranges038]

Hell of a win. Great to see them going for the game like that even when it was clearly over.

But lets be honest, the red card killed them and they fell apart towards the end.

 

[Redfrog]

Clean sheet. Check.
Few goals. Check.
Reaction. Check.
Rested players. Check.
Impact subs. Check.
Martial scored. Check.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Anybody finding something to moan about, give your heads a fecking wobble.

 

[Skåre Willoch]

That was fun.

This looks like Southamptons defense. 2 thick blocks. Hope you have a better chance with folks getting through all of that.

 

[BEST No7]

Ruthless and the proper attitude to playing against 10 men. The intensity was good and its exactly wat we needed after the last two performances. Good to Martial get to good goals hopefully he kicks on from here
