    Appreciate the options aren’t great but shocked so many people pick lineups with the same structure that has been an absolute disaster for about a year now.

    We need to change something.

    Aren't most people picking what they think will happen? Not what they want to happen?

    Have I been doing pre match threads wrong!?

    We can pick what we want to happen?

    In that case, rather than a line-up, I think we should seriously consider trying to convince Southampton that it's a 3pm kick off at Old Trafford.

    We've got enough fans on twitter, etc. to spread the misinformation.

    3 points in the bag without breaking a sweat.

    With all the talk of "win and he survives, lose and he's gone", what are the odds this will be a run of the mill draw, so no one will know how to react?!

    Not good enough to get excited but not bad enough to give him the bullet, just a bit "meh"!

    That would make it four points from four games, which is still significantly worse than “meh” - it’s relegation form.

    I don't really see how Casemiro can start after his last game. He's got work to do, to be diplomatic. And with Ugarte getting about 170 competitive minutes in his legs I would think he'd be deemed ready to play for us. If he isn't, I'd much rather have Collyer out there for this one.

    Agreed on Shaw and Hojlund. Honestly, I doubt we see either this month.

    It’s a good point, yeah once again I’m curious to see what they do with Ugarte. If they start him definitely no Casemiro for me. I was thinking about Collyer, but I’ve also heard a lot were happy with Casemiro for the first two games. I’d rather see a younger player in sooner but this game is also a do or die game for ten hag (according to the click baiters). I think it’s the safer bet to go with Collyer.

    I want to see Case and Ugarte together.
    Case is still a great footballer.. just doesnt have the legs.. If Ugarte is taking that burden, Casemiro sitting with him could work really well..

    You can’t play without legs in today’s modern game. You just eventually get found out. Looks like there’s a nice young DM howson made a video if

    7:30 am for me!
     
    Went with the same line up as Liverpool but with Amad on the right. Don’t think we’ll see Ugarte starting due to all ETH has said. Hopefully he gets 20 mins or so at least.
    Going for 1-2 to Utd. Think it’ll be a hard game - Southampton actually play some good football.
     
    It would be interesting if EtH actually changes things around a bit, perhaps go with Rashford centrally and Garna and Amad on the flanks, start Ugarte alongside Mainoo, or start Collyer alongside Mainoo.
     
    We win if we play our obvious best 11 and that includes ugarte for the first 70 minutes. If rashford and Casemiro start, we are screwed.
     
    Really want a win here if not to only shut all the negative posters up for a few days, every single thread is full of whinging it’s tiring.

    A loss and a Ten Hag sacking will make that happen far quicker than a slow death over the coming months.

    Rashford centrally is my absolute least favourite thing.

    Can you really blame people? Season after season we’ve had to put up with this crap. Starting seasons badly and trailing teams already. We’ve spent more than anyone except maybe Chelsea so there’s no excuse as to why we’re playing so bad.
     
    Ugarte only joined the team this week right? I doubt he'll start

    Imagine it will be same team as last time
     
    It’s like shovelling snow if you want to dare look in here. Shitposting at an all time peak. But there are still a few decent posters. Looking forward to the game, and to the season, which is still in its infancy. Malacia mentioned by ETH in presser. Might he be back before Shaw? Southampton are decent but let’s hope things start to click for the new-look reds. Come on United

    Southampton are now a possession based team which, I would wager, pass the better than us. Not sure what rabbit ETH is going to pull out of the hat to win comprehensively but I suspect we may sneak a narrow win or draw. It's not good enough but that's what we are now reduced to...scraps!

    This is great. I love reading about foot. I never quite mustered the courage to utter the name of the scary, bouncy round thing. I was like that in my playing days; I’d scream ‘please don’t pass me the’. But still, I’m hoping to see the strike the back of the Southampton net on multiple occasions this lunch. (I was also clock averse)

    Newbie @Guapa, support the team, support the manager. It’s the fourth game of the season. If we turn into the invincibles in 2026 the times when we supported them in adversity will be those we cherish most of all.

    I think they might be a good opponent for us. They insist on playing through the press, but they don't have the players to do it at this level. I'm expecting United to create a lot of chances from high regains. Saints also look really vulnerable on the break. Unless they adopt a more pragmatic approach to some games, they are going down. Overall, their weaknesses play into our strengths and I fancy us to score a few goals today.
     
    Come on reds! Give me a good performance on my birthday!! 3-0
     
    Missing todays game as currently in Germany for cousins wedding. Personally thankful for it especially after the shit show in the last game before the international break against Liverpool. Hoping we get the win.

    Onana

    Mazraoui - De Ligt - Martinez - Dalot

    Casemiro - Mainoo

    Amad - B.Fernandes - Garnacho

    Rashford
    ​
    subs: Bayindir, Maguire, Evans, Collyer, Ugarte, Eriksen, Antony, Zirkzee, Wheatley

    Dear Eric & team, please just win instead of finding new creative ways of killing our joy for the weekend.
     
    If its best available
    -------------Zirkzee
    Rashford-----------Amad
    ----------------Bruno
    -------Ugarte-Mainoo
    Dalot-LM-MDL-Mazaroui
    -------------Onana
    picks itself but I have feeling it will be something like

    Rashford-------Garnacho
    --------------Bruno
    --------Mainoo-Collyer
    ------------Casemiro
    Dalot---LM-Maguire-Mazaroui
    ---------------Onana
     
    Have to choose between a date or this match.

    Man Utd making my decision really easy ngl.

    Missed the match against Liverpool live, and we go thumped 3-0. No regrets.
     
    Actually care about the performance more than the result here. If we're gonna continue to be unable to control the easiest of matches, we'll never move forward.

    That's going to happen when your players lack the ability to play the ball forward. They haven't looked at all a threatening side in any of their games so far.
