Optimism on the Caf, I love it!!This game will end 4-0 to United.
Trust me
I'll be gobsmacked if James starts.
He was absolutely lost on the pitch last week.We're going to smash them.
He’s lost every time he plays yet he still gets games...
Nah, Leeds he was particularly poor. It was accentuated by how on song the rest of the team wereAnyone know what the away pubs are tomorrowJames is a squad player and that is his role. We have always had players like him , He will be played when we are stuck for example if Sancho is not up to speed for tomorrows game and Rashford is out. I admit he is below starting level for us if everyone is fit but I think its unfair to keep bashing him when He clearly tries his heart out compared to some other players we have . End product isn't great but I think he has been OK not great but also not dreadful . He was our least impressive player last week but we played really well. Think the lad deserves a little bit of respect and support from us.Varane looks to be part of the travelling squad.

wonder if he starts or notVarane on the bench, Sancho starts, Pogba holding and Antho on the left. Mason through the middle. 5 more scored, back to the top!
If James starts it's because he brings worry to the opposition with his pace and diligence. Sort of as a disruptor. Not because he is a clinical finisher. Sucks the energy out of the opposition so that his replacement can finish them off.We'll lose this one 3-1 with Varane and Sancho on the pitchThinking same team except Sancho in for James
Cavani, Martial and Varane all to get on as subsSouthampton are not a good team. Anything other than a win is not acceptable.All home teams this match week has gotten a result, only 2 draws. Soton is not a good side, but they are at home and players like Romeu and JWP seem to always have good moments against United.
Be happy with a result and a win would be a bonus. Home fans are making a difference as expected.How many freekicks/corners from JWP are they going to score from?
A win vs Southampton isn't a bonus.
Anything but a win here would be very disappointing.
Imagine saying this statement 2 years ago, such a stacked squad!Easy 4-0 win.Match day baby! So excited! 3-1 prediction.
Considering it's their first home game with fans in 18 months and home teams have gotten results more than usual through 2 weeks...anything can happen.
This is a big match and emotional home coming for Soton. They won't just roll over and if United do win, they have to put in a really good away performance.
And a new contract as well......
Last time we played them we won 9-0. Anything less than a win will be disappointing.
And they were arguably a stronger team then . Let's thump them . Would be great to make a real statement today .These are the so called "Six-point" games! Because we lost and draw so many last season, we were out of the title race.
Southampton always gave us hard times, tough matches over the last 20+ years ... We have to win this though, without excuses.
I think he should. He's certain to be first choice going forward, so why delay the process.Fully expecting Sancho to start and Varane getting 25minutes or so.
Can't see anything but another hammering today to be honest. I expect Southampton to be fighting relegation this season.
Why Ward Prowse signed a new contract, I do not knowUnlike most I hate the McFred midfield. It's okay to play it for specific games but I hope going forward it's not the go to midfield especially with us shoring up the defense with the addition of Varane.
It's a decent midfield against a team like Leed that just play open but with most teams we would need more than just energy in midfield and that's where it simply doesn't work.Prediction...
3-0 win. Pogba with a goal, Bruno 2 assists, Sancho goal and assist.We match the Arsenal invincibles away record if we win or draw today.We'll play the same team as vs Leeds. Should be enough for Southampton.We're fecking stacked in attack that the likes of James should never start any games to be honest.
With Martial, Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood, Cavani, Bruno and even Pogba who get played on that left side, that's too many quality players to fill all the attacking positions without the need for James to ever get a start even if a couple are unavailable.
James shouldn't even see any start ahead of Lingard. Dude was poor against Leed despite the entire team playing well. Takes something special to put in a poor display despite the entire team having an excellent game.
Optimism on the Caf, I love it!!Should win easily. Part of me thinks we need to make a statement - these are the sort of games you have to win if you are going to be in the title race. I wouldn't be surprised if we scored five again. I also wouldn't be surprised if we did our muppet impersonation and lost!
2-0 would do for me...We will send a message to the rest of the league today with a second thumping of the season. Utd are back bitches.Should be battering this lot.
0-3I have a bad feeling Varane will "flop" here like Schweinsteiger did. He will be fine, but not a huge upgrade on Lindelof. PL will not suit him.They were poor last week but you'd expect them to be boosted by the home crowd, I still think we'll get the job done though.
