We will start ok, pass the ball around a lot but not really threaten their goal, sometime late in the first half we'll pass the ball to one of their strikers who will score, we will then continue to pass the ball around a lot in completely inconsequential areas of the pitch before they get their second and third in quick succession.
The whole game our strikers will be too far apart so there will be absolutely no direct threat, and we'll finish the game with 70% possession, zero shots on goal and 3-0 down.
Martin will come out afterwards and say that he learned a lot from the game, thought we played some great football and that he believes in his system.

Can’t disagree with any of that.
Six of us are entering a post-match interview ‘Proud Count’ sweepstake. £10’s in the pot, winner takes their stake back + £50 profit for the correct number of times RM says he’s proud of the players / performance in nominated post-match interviews! After three games I am £30 up 🙂

Wrong starting eleven. MU all over us looking for a mistake. Tippy tappy. Defensive mistake. 0-1 after 15 mins. Subs on too late. One of our new lads scores consolation goal. We're caught two more times on the break chasing the game. Result 1-3.

It is a very long time since United have lost at St. Mary's, it pains me to say.
All about who scores the first goal.
And the team selection.
If Martin picks Stephens, Aribo, Smallbone and Adam Armstrong, I will share the views of others on this thread.
However, if he picks Fernandes, Ugo, Dibling and Archer, I will be a lot more optimistic.
our issue is that we're trying to play like 1970's Holland when we have a defence with the passing ability more fitting to 1980's Merthyr Tydfil.
The only reasons i can think that Martin persists with this are either he's convinced our style of play will bore the opposition into falling asleep so we can walk it in, or he's just that arrogant and deluded that he can't see exactly what he's doing wrong.

Or he wants to get sacked so that he can get a big payday and then return at a Championship club…..
