Southampton (H) - Post Match

[calvoboy]

So for me, I'm not going to slit my wrists as 10/15 points is a great return so early on. However, serious questions should be asked after a home defeat against Southampton. It is how we respond that will show the character of the side.

You can't take these games in isolation. Yes, it was crap, but it's how we respond that matters. The beauty of the premiership is that every team can beat every other team on their day. United lost to Norwich last year. You just can't make a habit of these **** performances and results or you end up in mediocrity, as we were last year.

Oh, and it's the Sunderland game that matters in that regard, not Wednesday. United away in the cup will always be a coin-toss game with lots of passion and effort. What matters more (in terms of squad development, obviously cup games are important in themselves) is that we go and get a result against Sunderland to put us back on track in the league.

Haven't most of our signings been attacking options - it's just they lack quality?

the defensive line up was ****.

the midfield balance was ****.

the support to the front men was ****.

some of the choices bay the manager were ****.

we will regroup and go again, etc... **** it, move on

hopefully brendan can micro analyse our shortcomings and do better in future.

oh, we are also getting a 50m+ striker back.

Saturday was a disaster on every level from the manager to the players, it happens. I'd be more angry than I am if we hadn't been so unlucky with injuries recently plus we've been without our best player so far this season. A convincing win against Sunderland will hopefully put Saturday's loss into perspective.

.oh, we are also getting a £40,000,001 striker back.
