Well, that was almost worth the misery of last week. Been a while since I saw a proper demolition handed out at OT. Fantastic from the players, every one of them did well. Special mention to the fullbacks who were both exceptional.

Don't feel sorry for Southampton at all, they've got Romeu on their pay roll. The penalty and red card by the letter of the law is right. Contact, engineered or otherwise, is still contact with no attempt at the ball. Don't like seeing Martial try that, but it is what it is. What shocked me was the 3 minutes, blatant case of refs just doing whatever they want.

 

[Member 90887]

I don't know what worse for them, 9-0 or Daniel James scoring.

Enjoyable game. No pressure at all.

 

[Devil may care]

Needed that! We sauced all over them tonight, the emphatic nature of how we despatched them was what was so pleasing, we put our foot on their throat and never let up. The fullbacks tonight were superb.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

So chuffed, what a palette cleanser after the last two drab performances.

 

[VivaJesperBlomqvist]

How the FECK did the ref only add 3 mins? Was he feeling magnanimous?

 

[#07]

I remember watching United huff and puff to a 1-1 draw against 10 men at Southampton last season. Was great to see us tear them apart tonight. We have grown so much in a short space of time.

 

[MonkeysMagic]

Personally, I thought De Gea was poor!

 

[Alemar]

MotM candidates are:
Shaw (fantastic 45 minutes and 2 assists)
Martial (2 goals)
Bruno (1+2)

 

[Siorac]

although its marvellous for the confidence of our attack.

It was worth it just for the way Martial kept attacking every ball in the end, trying to get on every single pass or cross. Next step is to do it when the opponent has 11 men on the pitch, Tony.

 

[ivaldo]

Apparently, MOTD are just going to show the full game because they don't have time for the highlights.

 

[Wayne's World]

That was great

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Went Tony for MoM, I've been his harshest critique but he came on and dispatched two goals incredibly well.

Shaw tied for it too but went to Tony.

 

[Raees]

Well done lads, well deserved. So annoying how everyone thought the world caved in after a dull big game performance. We are not perfect but we have certainly progressed as an outfit under Ole... without a doubt the best United side since Fergie's IMO.

 

[Tom Cato]

Not sure how? But get in.

Weird way to write 46 goals

 

[kopviolator]

Boooooring

 

[Hester_manc]

I wonder, how the young 19 years old Jankewitz is going to sleep tonight? This is terrible for him. His teammates will be furious at him. He's never going to forget his first start in the Premier League - that's for sure. I hope they help him up again.

 

[Gator Nate]

This was Ole’s first real test.

I dunno... The real question is, what do you do AFTER you beat a team 9-0? That'll be his First Real Test®.

 

[Strelok]

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

Because they're fecking biased against us? Always?

 

[Pavl3n]

So Martial can score but it’s gotta be against 9 men....

Give him back No. 11

 

[FujiVice]

How the FECK did the ref only add 3 mins? Was he feeling magnanimous?

Certainly. If it wasnt for the penalty/sending off, he'd have more than certainly blew at one.

 

[Superunknown]

3 poor decisions in the game though.

1. We should've got a PK in the 1st half.
2. Soton's disallowed goal when we were 4-0 up.
3. Soton's second red for the PK.

I agree, but none of that is on us. We have no control over the refs and their idiocy.

It all went wrong for Southampton. You can't legislate for a stupid tackle like that right at the start of the game. That was a terrible start. They were already out of the game before the first real contentious decision, the extra bits just piled on the hurt.

 

[RORY65]

I mean that was just really fun apart from VAR being terrible again. It was good to see us go for the jugular against a team that sat in (obviously the early red card conditions the game) and be ruthless throughout. 9-0

 

[Siorac]

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.

Shit, you're right. Numbers don't lie.

 

[Gambit]

Disallowed Greenwood goal, early whistle blown. Totally corrupt refereeing, the whole lot are against us.

 

[OrcaFat]

Poor Ralph, could have been so different if they just pressed our right back a bit more.

Not exactly a fair fight but I loved seeing them get spanked. They never were any good.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

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

Because it was all down to refereeing decisions and VAR obviously
Never mind a shocking challenge that could have seriously injured a player and as a result put his team in serious trouble.

 

[Stormrage101MUFC]

SACK OLE SELL MARTIAL

SACK MARTIAL SELL OLE

 

[Shane88]

I'd be getting a cab back to Southampton if I were Jankewitz.

 

[dablem_10]

8 different scorers for us
shaw and wan bissaka could practice croses in match and both had nice assists book to their stat
rash and shaw are rested to next 7 february matches
bruno could score and assist, he will get some boost
even bigger boost for anthony, even again 10 and 9 man, still could kick him on to the rest of the season
clean sheet
goal difference is back among best in league
we are BEST scoring team this season, where it was last time after more than half season? SAF?

was quite sad for soton, they are symphatic team with good coach and they had troubles with players missing. VAR cancelled their regular goal and bednarek got quite unfair red to me. What a debut for the guy, he is now 5th quickest sent off player in PL history. Perhaps first career debutant in PL got it as well. Quite cruel shower for them

 

[SuperiorXI]

3 minutes added time my arse, it should have been at least 6, therefore 10 nil

 

[Bilbo]

Disagree. Still, after their red card they should be able to sustain defensive structure for some time. We moved the ball very well today, and that is we take from this. My god that felt good!

Cant argue with that. Didnt intend for my post to be a downer. Im obviously delighted

 

[Hugh Jass]

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

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

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

We're not supposed to be in the title race.

 

[AltiUn]

I’m honestly a bit speechless.

 

[DatIrishFella]

Poor Ralph looked distraught.

 

[jesskan60]

That's was crazy.
VAR was laughable, nick picking on millimeters on both team.
Martial doesn't dive, he's anticipating the contact, Rooney and countless players were doing that.
Feel bad for Hasenhüttl, so unlucky with VAR.

 

[Roosney]

Haha, not sure if I should laugh or laugh.

 

[Bilbo]

It was worth it just for the way Martial kept attacking every ball in the end, trying to get on every single pass or cross. Next step is to do it when the opponent has 11 men on the pitch, Tony.

It was very pleasing to see us still hunting goals for 93 minutes. Could have easily sat on 4-0

 

[Irwinning]

Delighted as a United fan for 9-0, especially after perpetual tight games, usually against weaker opposition.

Dismayed as a football fan that Martial was not given a yellow card for simulation on our penalty.

 

[Stormrage101MUFC]

Very tight game but at least we managed to get the 3 points.
