I'd love Rashford playing for us

No system which attempts to turn subjective metrics into an objective metric is perfect. However, I'd argue that a metric which attempts to quantify expected results is extremely useful in dealing with self serving bias.

As in, if two people work out xG there will be differences. That being said. Man Utd had some excellent chances. 2.5 doesn't seem crazy. 0.75 on the other hand...

Good memory. It all gets blurry back there

Don't forget that wrestling came after Saint and Greavsie. Watching Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks duke it out while you were waiting for the football to start...

Compared to the disrespect from Conte shushing the Saints bench then acting like they had a god given right to win....

We're much better with the ball. Players are finding space. Our one touch passing is crisper. We're not wasting the ball as often. I think Ralph finally knows his midfield and attack and has them all fit.

I dunno. I'm happy for them to arrive in an easily burst bubble of complacency thinking they just have to show up to get three points.

Agree the team plays better with Forster than McCarthy but neither of them has been consistent. Our distribution is poor with either and Forster can feel glued to his line. He made some good stops today and we wouldn't have drawn without him but we can do better.

I can do the first bit of that but those Manc cnuts wind me up

I picked the right week to sign up for SaintsWeb

If you wave your finger in the ref's face it should be a card

Nearly a glorious diving header from Fernandes

What a tackle by Stephens

Get in!

BBC say Man Utd unbeaten in the last 300 home games where they led at half time 😮

Don't worry, Fernandes will go explain to him during half time. That won't happen second half

United's last two games. Go 1-0 up then lose interest second half.

C'mon Saints! You can do this second half

That could've been a red. He stamped on Mo's ankle

Once again our weakness to counter attacking teams is shown

Let's see the same reaction as Wednesday please

Yes, Man Utd need to spend another 100 mil on an attacker

Save one for Ronaldo once Mr Pinchy has been at him
