simply CANNOT lose here for a multitude of reasons.

Ugarte is available for this as per ten Hag

Two weeks without real football [pro] football was a real bummer. Happy to be back, even if this club is a trainwreck.

I was going to suggest watching MLS, but the Crew shit the bed last week... One keeper on the roster due to call-ups, and he managed to get a straight red in the first half. Fielder in net proceeded to give up 4 goals, one immediately on a FK after he got in net. Let alone all of our best players were off on call-ups...

I hate that MLS insists on playing during international windows...

MLS needs to move to the standard football calendar.

Sofabloke · Sep 13, 2024

They are played 3 lost 3, 5 goals against and just one late consolation goal for.

They have had possession dominance in all those games but made mistakes playing out from the back.

Having been promoted via the play-offs they are the weakest of the promoted teams and yet to come to terms with the league.

In short there are no excuses for us - despite our own issues if we cant win this game then EtH is in deep trouble as a loss or draw here continues a bad trajectory when he is running out of excuses.

Everyone says no to that because nobody wants to play or watch games Jan-Mar when it's cold as balls in places like... Columbus, Denver, New England, etc with 6" of snow and wind chills in the negatives.

CybrSlydr · Sep 14, 2024

Eriksen??

CybrSlydr · Sep 14, 2024

Zirkzee tracking back very deep on defense

Sofabloke · Sep 14, 2024

Big miss from Zirkzee, should be a goal with an assist from Eriksen.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Sep 14, 2024

well this hasn't started well but credit to Southampton, they aren't bunkering.

they sense weakness and are going for it

CybrSlydr · Sep 14, 2024

God dammit Dalot

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Sep 14, 2024

loooool

CybrSlydr · Sep 14, 2024

HOLY SHIT, ONANA!!!

Holy__Joe · Sep 14, 2024

Bang average penalty, but it's nice to get the save and also that it didn't drop for an easy second attempt

CybrSlydr · Sep 14, 2024

DELIGT!!!!

Holy__Joe · Sep 14, 2024

Ha and De ligt puts salt in the wound.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Sep 14, 2024

how fortunate.

nice for de Ligt though

Sofabloke · Sep 14, 2024

Good direction on the header from De Ligt and good assist Bruno on the cross.

Lets get the second for a change

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Sep 14, 2024

undeserved but good finish Rashford.

0-2. harsh on Southampton in many ways but it is what it is

Father Ted · Sep 14, 2024

Football is a funny ole game

Sofabloke · Sep 14, 2024

HT 0-2

We havent been good but end of the day their defending has been poor and we have at least taken a couple of the chances they have presented.

All that matters to me is getting 3 points and no injuries going in to this busy period, so more of the same luck 2nd half please

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Sep 14, 2024

i'd really like a 3rd goal here to feel more comfortable.

Mainoo is on a yellow and should he get a red, things could go downhill very quickly
