    Antonio's first yellow was a joke

    I think he should be more disappointed with the second one, it was not malicious but there was enough intent to force the Ref into making a decision.

    As he walked off, I actually think I saw Antonio point to his head in self admonishment - he knew he had messed up.

    I thought we were ok. Saints sat back & decided they weren’t going to get done on the break by us. We tired in the last 15 when they then had a real go at stealing the points, sensing we were vulnerable. I don’t call that them being the better side.

    Before that I felt they were happy for the point & we wanted 3, but couldn’t quite click. 7 of those players being away over the two weeks showed & it was a little leggy.

    Ironically, I think Antonio’s red saved us from a defeat, when you look at the space they had after the challenge & clearance.

    This Southampton sub has made Ogbonna look VERY slow

    That Southampton sub, who by the way is on loan from Chelsea, was very quick.

    Antonio sent off. We now play Man U without a striker.

    We played Southampton without a striker.

    Without a "striker" but with good attacking options, Benrahma, Vlasic and Bowen across the front line, with Fornals in behind them.

    It will be a big test for Moyes as everyone knew Antonio wouldn't be playing each week and yet we didn't sign anyone, we trust Moyes had decided that we can find goals with a different attacking set up, so it will be interesting to see what that is.

    Yarmolenko needed to be sold, or even given a free transfer to get his wages off our books. We could then have got a striker as well as our other signings. I have to trust Moyes, but we so need a replacement striker.

    We could have got a striker but Moyes said he didn’t want any of those available.

    Against Palace and Southampton we looked vulnerable in the air and both teams showed that our defenders lack pace. Somehting for Moyes to work on in traning sessions.

    Sympathy for Antonio: his second yellow was mostly because he was being held back (again) and was stretching to make the tackle. If he'd given up and fallen over he'd have got a free kick.

    Er, no he wasn't, there wasn't another Saints player within 2-3 yards when he dived in with his studs up.
