Yeah was just about to post something similar. You look at the team sheet and it’s nothing special but they look well balanced atm. Have been on some horrible runs though as well.

It would appear they’re on one of their ‘good runs’ at the minute. Wonder who they play next?

Rashford is such an average footballer.

Pace merchant and nothing else, just like most English wingers this century, very limited.

I think someone said they haven’t lost at home since September. It’ll be a difficult ask for us.

It’s going to explode here if Soton can nick a winner. How are United this poor.

Lampard gave him his debut and Southampton were asking about his availability in mid January.

It would come down to Tuchel's likely plans for the player, but he's worth following.

Remember when people were calling Southampton the worst team in the league when we beat them on the opening day? Halcyon days

I find it interesting that their manager was never really mentioned as a potential candidate for our job, they do have some super dodgy results now and then but generally when I watch Southhampton they always seem quite competitive.

Probably because he cried when they beat Liverpool.

Pretty sure it was down to him or Silva back in 2018

I wanted him back then but there was some weird contract issue with Red Bull

United are a disaster.

They should have just kept Ole on for rest of season and binned him in the summer.

Any manager goes there will fail, everything from recruitment to the poisoned changing room needs a overhaul.

Ownership doesn't care what happens on the pitch, they ar emore interested in the share prince on the NYC Stock Exchange.

United are back to being a nothing club making up the numbers, just like those decades of pre and post Busby.

Funny team Southampton. I watched them against Tottenham in midweek and thought they were very good. They’ve been good today in the second half as well.

But On the other hand they’re one of those teams that could easily go on a ten match losing run (9-0 defeats) and then suddenly turn into peak Barca.

Play some good football

Was speaking to my Spurs mate yesterday, he was at the game and said Southampton battered them.

I keep forgetting Varane plays for United, mad how bad they are given the players at their disposal.

Just had a look on redcafe, they all proper hate Bruno Fernandes o_O

You need to read the top 5 CBs on the planet thread.

Who are the top 5 centre-backs in the world?

The Varane pursuit has thrown up some interesting views, one of which being Varane is not in this grouping for some people. That's the prompt for this thread, really, as times do move on and it's no lie to say he's not flawless. But not top 5? Really? Let's assume Van Dijk returns to his best...

www.redcafe.net

It was done during or after the Euros and you'll see about 90% of posts putting Maguire in it.

lol

It's the most deluded hilarious reading.

On Bruno, look how limited he is when he hasn't got 15 penalties a season to mask is very average game, he gives the ball away so many times for a supposed top class midfielder.
