And the So, Just how much daylight robbery are you going to get away with this season Paul?

How you doing?

I'm really good, thanks.

We're recording about 20 minutes after full time

in the Southampton game.

So I am full of the festive joys. Tis the season for daylight robbery or

evening time robbery so it would appear the police do say when the darker nights

draw in start to be more mindful leave some lights on and stuff like that.

Southampton did not pay any attention to the thieves that were operating in their area.

Yeah, well the lights were on.

Unfortunately no one in Manchester United's defence was home from much of that game.

I've hardly seen I was going to say I've hardly seen the United defensive performance as

chaotic as that except for the last time they played a back three.

And maybe the time before that they played a back three.

So this is part of the philosophy, right?

There was a moment in the first half when Smalling was still on where there was just this little moment where they just slightly reshape themselves and there was somebody covering their space really nicely.

I was thinking I was about to tweet, oh that's quite quite good I feel like that's sort of the philosophy

But that was one four second period in the 90 minutes of catastrophic mess. I mean I have to say I am a very big Van Hal fan and I think going to

three at the back was an enormous mistake in this game. I mean I just as soon as the lineup was announced you kind of

your head drops a bit and it's like oh this is not going to work because it isn't

even the defensive organization it's like trying to get the ball from the back to the front when we play three at the back they just

I don't know what it does to him, but they just don't know what to do with the ball do they?
