    Isn't wonderful to have some decent options for FB now.

    I think the result is disappointing considering the missed chances. Man United put out an awful team and played badly, this was a good chance to beat them at home.

    What? They put out pretty much their strongest team.

    Some great individual performances today. Perraud and Salisu both looking better, and Adams and Stephens both with really good games.

    I wonder if (yes I know he has been good), if we are playing Tino as a way of saying to other possible young signings (like the Everton LB), that he will play. Wonder if it it a bit of a ruse for that.

    I get Tino deserves his place in the team, but so does KWP, just wonder if we are being a little tactical.

    A great point against a team that thumped Leeds 5-1 last week.

    Frankly the commentary is sh*t - wish I could just get the crowd noise

    I really hope that Walcott sub is an indication that Ralph has realised he jist doesn't offer that much and he is dropped for next week. Whether Stu Armstrong is back fit or even Tella

    Matic in midfield and Martial upfront weakens them, especially Matic. I’m not sure why Solsjkaer didn’t name an unchanged side.

    Agreed. He isn't that great a player but you can tell he really likes a battle and always gives everything.

    Great result and performance. No complaints with the players or Ralph today. Saw the logic in all his subs today and made the 2 in the 2nd half at the right times.

    Yeah but when one of their players cost more than the entire Saints team it kind of puts it into perspective
