Hannibal almost broken in half, rides the challenge and eventually the ball comes to Pellistri who beats his man and puts in a gem of a cross for a powerful header from Shoretire. Brilliant goal.

1-0 to United

Puigmal drills a controlled shot into the bottom corner through the defenders legs, no chance for the keeper

2-1

Puigmal with all that space to run on to bearing down on goal dispatches the chance with ease.

3-1

Up front we are looking pretty good today. Glad to see Pellistri looking sharp and got a great assist for first one. He has the beating of his man today. Fish and Bejger don't seem to have a great understanding yet. They confused each other for the Spurs goal.

Glad for Puigmal with the two goals. (Question about keeper for both notwithstanding) He is having a good season. Can really see him having a hell of a career in Spain, but not sure if he has the pace for the Prem. Hope he surprises me!

Their keeper is absolute shite, 3rd goal was just embarrassing.

Far better today though against some actual decent opposition. Pellistri is really good and Shoretire slowly getting used to the level. Even Hannibal is finally playing well. Fish is superb at playing out from the back.

He's definitely not slow. Can't see it being a factor with him tbh.

some decent attacking play from the kids (Spurs have looked decent too)

but also some atrocious defending from Spurs

they looking alot more comfortable back playing against their age level...

Neil Wood will be telling them the need to push on, concentrate and dominate the rest of the game now

Do we have a CB at the club, which is as good as Fish with the ball? His passing is just sensational.

Hannibal will definitely be a very good player, good to see Will Fish step up this season too. Puigmal too.

Very sloppy start to the second half, Spurs deserve that goal.

Christ. Ok hes not slow but hes not blessed with pace, he doesn't register an acceleration comparable to any of our wingers on the books. Which I imagine is why he rarely plays on the wing for us any more. Hes an excellent passer, hits a brilliant dead ball, definitely think playing him as RB last season has helped him become a more well rounded player in the middle.

Midfield back to offering feck all protection.

Theyve got in behind Fernandez multiple times now and have 4 players rushing the box for cut back and we don’t have a midfielder in sight. Not a single one even attempting to track a runner.

We don't have a single holding midfielder in the team. Svidersky should really be playing and Galbraith should either be on loan or promoted.

3 mistakes in a minute by Fernandez, how he's still on the pitch is beyond me, he's dead on his feet.

Mejbri clattered again. Galbraith gets revenge and a yellow. Good lad.

Driving run from Fish, Hugill plays a cheeky backheel and Fish is tackled at the pivotal moment
