We knew a defeat would come, all about how we repsond to it now. Southampton are not pushovers and we need to dust ourselves off and get the 3 points however we can.
As for the game itself, i've noticed United's forwards change their running style when they get into the box, almost like John Cleese has been training them, and almost as if they want to initiate contact, knowing it gives the referee a decision to make. I also was unsure about the Sterling penalty incident at the time, thinking Fred could not get out of the way, but the replays I have seen show he was impeded so another head scratcher there from Stockly Park.
I think we all hoped to see Foden and Bernardo starting for their energy, and Walker for his pace to counter their threat, but whatever 11 we put out should have done better than that. The defending and compsure at the back was at times comical, i've seen Nuns spread wider than we did yesterday, and Rodri was the polar opposite of what he hasbeen for the last few months.
Bad day at the office, but lets hope that was all it was. We seem to have these brain fart perfomrances once in a while, thankfully we have the chance to show it was of little consequence.
