Our penalty shots are always poor. Radford was lucky the gk went the other way

Cue disappointed United fans who wanted us to lose so Ole gets sacked.
Stop with this bollocks. Just because many (like myself) think Ole isn’t the right man doesn’t mean we want us to lose. I enjoyed the game & wanted us to win of course. Stop spouting crap to suit your agenda

Great performance. Maybe the best one so far this season. But we're really turning to the ultimate game raising cnuts :lol: Why don't we play every game with this intensity and ambition. If we played like that against Palace, Villa, Southampton etc. we'd be much higher in the table. That's the frustrating thing.

Rashford stepping up big time. If he can push on from here, there's our main man.

Fred with great, simple, cute passes after tearing about dispossessing and breaking up play. Makes a different when he gets the ball back and then players drive forward and he can split the Spurs midfield two with a short square pass and we are away. Auto transition.

Scott, Fred and Pogba could be a good midfield.

Great result, hunger with structure makes all the difference.

Get in!! Good win. Rashford on fire. McSauce showing how vital he has become to this team. Fred with yet another good game. Lindelöf and Maguire with decent control.

Andreas Pereira, though. He lost the ball every single time he had it. Shame we have to rely on him at all.

Rashy and Fred were fecking quality today. Fred MoM for me.
The whole team performed very well, but these two stood out. Exceptional performance from the both of them. Fred controlled the match, had some great interceptions. Rashford was just unstoppable, especially in the first half.

Enjoyable game, full commitment from the team. Scott McT definitely brings a solidity and settles the team. Rashford on fire again... loved it..
spurs were pretty poor and you can see why they have struggled away from home. Jose got his work cut out when the honeymoon period dies.
Shout out for the crowd really backing the team vocally makes a difference.

Lads, it's still Spurs.

Ole's beaten them every time, despite everyone wanking themselves silly over Spurs.

Our team have become game-raising cnuts. They'll put a very different performance in against Jose.
Can't fault Ole tactically today, and the key thing the #Plastics need to understand is that he hasn't lost the dressing room, nor has he lost the home crowd, nor has he lost the backing of the hierarchy, so he isn't going anywhere. In case it isn't obvious, injuries, injuries, injuries, have affected us terribly, on the back of a bodged summer by Judge. Can't even remember the last time we saw Martial, Pogba and McTominay all play at the same time--but that day is coming soon, we're near the light at the end of the tunnel, just have some damn patience and let us get to January to strengthen the depth of the squad.

Home crowd were loud and proud and fierce today, big up to all there.

Decent performance overall, but also really poor from Spurs in my opinion. Rashford was incredible and for about 60 minutes he reminded me of a young Ronaldo.

Good result and something to build upon either way.

Good point by a pundit on Amazon though... this buzz will last until the next loss and then we start all over again. Easy to forget we have had many results like this under Ole.
Doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy the beauty of every new false dawn

Even though we conceded a crap goal I thought Maguire and Lindelof did well. Kane was pretty ineffective all game.
This was more Kane having an off game than those two playing well. Think McTominay won just as many battles with Kane as those two did.

Get a few more wins under our belt and do something in January !

Also,that's the most uninvolved performance I've seen from Kane for sometime.

Great performance, the players and crowd seemed really up for it form the start. Great to see McTominay back and Fred stepping up, hopefully he can keep that sort of level up.

We've got every chance of beating city at the weekend if we play like tonight.

Say what you want about Ole as a manager (I don't think he should've ever got the job but that's for another time) but thank goodness we got rid of Mourinho. I had war flashbacks watching that shite from Spurs. So so bad. What a truly rubbish manager he is now

Just makes the terrible performance against worse teams even more infuriating.
I get ya.

There is a wealth of talent within the team that played tonight, it drives you mad watching them crumble when faced with the might of Villa, Rochdale, Astana, et al.

Can only imagine what it must be like to manage them.

Good performance over 90.

McTominay played well, but his passing was loose at times.

Can we translate this to games against teams like Sheffield and Villa now please.

Wonderful performance. Full marks to the team. Rashford is truly having his breakthrough season. Fred played his best game. Hopefully Pogba can come back soon and replace Lingard. Great win.

Enjoyed most of that, worried with the substitutes, but it worked out

The effort and intent was there, along with a win, a big improvement

Good win.
We look so much better playing when there’s space and we’re awful against low blocks. That’s why I’m more confident playing against the likes of Tottenham than when we play against someone like Burnley.

First game in a while I've been so happy to watch. A very good performance by the whole team. Defence looked solid, Lindelof with some nice work there. Midfield looks completely different wit McSauce in it. Fred amazing. And attack was all Rashford, I so badly wanted him to score another one. Next time!

Some wonderful fluid football, where has this been all season!

Vital win. Needed it more than performing decent or what not. But performing in such a fashion on top of result makes it all the more satisfying. Needed this. Hope our season can begin now. But against city up next, will be very hard to get a good result. Hope we can bring in martial and pogba and those two can be as ready as some of these lot today. Still should have scored more goals. But glad we are creating lots of chances and sometimes look really good defensively. But that defending for that goal was atrocious. Still. Great result.

There is no spoon.
Great to see everyone fighting for the win against Mou and even to keep the media at bay over Ole, however I don't want to get too carried away either, after the city fixture the rest of December will be the same old shite against teams who park the bus and let us have possession, until we can get some creative reinforcements to the team in either Pogba or transfer window the only games we can really look forward to are against teams who play half decent football.

Good performance more or less in first half, 2nd half i didnt like much. Good 3 pts. That defending for their goal was something alright.

Some were missing in match day thread.

terrific performance. Should have scored more in the first half.

Thought spurs were going to score when Rashford missed that chance at the end.

Rashford, McTomminah and Fred were very good.

Thought Fred was excellent today, McT equally good. Disappointed no hatrick.

Spurs already seeing the "benefit" of Jose :lol:

I thought it was a great performance,

Rashford was the best individual performance from one of our forwards for a long time.

For me, fred and mctoninay, and if he ever returns for us, Pogba at 10 would be our best midfield.

Agreed. Spurs bar the last ten twelve minutes were long ball all game. Horrid stuff.

Yea play either a 4-3-3 with Pogba operating inbetween the attack and MF or play a 4-2-3-1 with Pogba in the ten channel dropping back to MF when defending.

Exactly, it's not the first time he's gotten a result against big clubs.

McTominay makes a huge difference to the team. Hopefully he stays fit now. Lindelof had his best game of the season and I thought Fred played well also. Rashford obviously one of Uniteds stand out players also, loved his work rate and leadership. Jose winking at the camera before the game wasn't doing it at full time
