Early goal for Man U

Hes picked stephen ireland ahead of charlie austin

Is this inspired? Time will tell

He is in the stands tonight, he hasn’t taken charge yet, so wouldn’t have picked the team.
I don’t think he wanted to begin his reign with defeat. He should have waited until August.

2-0 Man U , Lambert is facing the SACK

 

[Beach Hut]

That was some goal by Martial

 

[Peter Ward]

2-0 could finish with 4 or 5 hopefully.

Seems sensible. I don’t think he’s allowed to use Southampton players.

 

[BensGrandad]

So far so good for us.

 

[Mike Small]

Stoke looked pretty good I think. Shaqiri, Crouch, Allen, Shawcross, Butland, Indi, that new right back. All look good players. Will finish above us unless we get some players in/get some belief.

Yes - they are not the ones I fancy to go down either.

Swansea, West Brom, Huddersfield, Newcastle and us are more likely.

Absolutely agree. Lets hope the Newcastle takeover drags on and they don't sign anyone upsetting Benitez. West Brom will fancy catching us after Saturday. I feel if we finish above Huddersfield we'll stay up making our pathetic performance at theirs all the much harder to stomach.

Charlie Nicholas?

3 -0 now so no points for Stoke today

CH's strategy of keeping Goal Diff to a minimum may yet pay off at the end of the season. It looks to me that there will be a bunch of teams competing to the end for 15th, 16th and 17th place and GD may be crucial. Stoke have already conceded 50 goals this season and their GD is awful, as is Hudders and Swansea.

that may be so but I would sooner have a point at least cushion

Charlie Nicholas?

Is this the new game, famous Charlie's that can't play for Stoke?

I'll give you two.

Charlie Cooke
Charlie Drake

I think that’s why, while the rest of us are impatient and increasingly want the team to have more of a go, Hughton might think it’s important to focus even MORE on defence and cut out the cheap goals conceded.

It feels frustrating and wrong but rationally makes sense as we’re unlikely to pick up any points at all unless we start keeping some clean sheets. Certainly if we only have our current squad to play with.

I’d still love to see us pile more players forward in the final third of the season - but maybe it’s not the best approach.
