Tottenham Hotspur 2:0 Manchester United

Offside · Jan 31, 2018

Reeks of another Mouriniho big game. This isn’t the first time we’ve conceded in literally the opening seconds. We have too many clowns who are more interested in their Snapchat story -showing no composure, concentration, fight, professionalism or maturity. So brainless.

We will resort to lumping it to Fellaini like we have in every big game under Jose.

Eriksen is so good

Swearing Budgie · Jan 31, 2018

Can we buy a new team before midnight? I am sure Ed is on it.

iam_kramer · Jan 31, 2018

we've had an awful fifteen minutes. I'm not sure what the team is trying to do. Kane has had two decent chances in that time, we've created none.

HankHill · Jan 31, 2018

If Martial starts the second half on the right I'm going to call Mourinho a twat under my breath.

Game over. Best we can get is lose 1-2 or something.

Put Fellaini for Lingard and switch Sanchez and Martial positions. We should never play 4-2-3-1 in a top game again. Matic is terrible under pressure and needs other legs beside him. Jones and Smalling are absolutely shite on pressure and can't get the ball out of the back so we need Fellaini for the hoof ball.

Shite game.

Give over, there’s 45 minutes of football to be played. We’ll make changes and hopefully pull our finger out of our arse.

RRCE · Jan 31, 2018

Truly, an awful performance. That group of players should be well embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

2cents · Jan 31, 2018

I'd be tempted to make three halftime changes - Fellaini for Lukaku, Rojo for Hones and Shaw for Young.

The Stain · Jan 31, 2018

Everyone but Sanchez and Martial are drunk. lukaku has won zero duels.

And been offside like 7 times

Sunny Jim · Jan 31, 2018

Should have gone for 4-3-3. No control in the middle of the park.

ghagua · Jan 31, 2018

Our football has been so poor, I don't if I should laugh or cry.

ManUnitedCanuck · Jan 31, 2018

No extra time added for Son injury

Canagel · Jan 31, 2018

Spurs are a powerful but they don't have better players than us. We have been clueless in our build up play and Matic especially has been shocking. Jones and Smelling are big but brainless. Young has been terrible as well. I can't blame any of our attacking players. They've been let down by the defence so far.

MuranoLover · Jan 31, 2018

Couple of problems - we are playing with a very unbalanced team

1 ) Matic is tired

2 ) There must be someone next to Matic , like Fellaini ( on Lukakus' place) and Pogba to go little bit forward

3 ) Martial must be forward , Alexis left and Lingard right

mitchmouse · Jan 31, 2018

how many times has lukaku been offside compared to how many touches he's had? he seems not to know the rule

Pogba has been such a fanny in this game

He lords it against the weaker teams but disappears against the better teams. He is a decent player but he has a long way to go to get anywhere near world class.

If we took him off and did not replace him no one would notice and that is pretty much the same in all the big matches he has played for us against better quality opposition.

Salus Populi Suprema Lex · Jan 31, 2018

He will have to bring on Herrera or Fellaini and sacrifice Lingard. There are gaping holes in the side.

ThaReaper01 · Jan 31, 2018

That was atrocious. Midfield has been anonymous. Matic has been poor for the better part of two months. Pogba plain cannot play in a midfield 2. Martial been more or less invisible. Fullbacks poor. Just bleh.

Our bags?

act!! or shit!! Whichever it is, we need to get it together. I know defense was at fault for the goals, but we are so lethargic in midfield.

Nope. Lingard is not a central midfielder. End of story.

Yet he's probably been amongst our better players so far. Lukaku, Matic and Pogba have been naff casually letting Spurs walk through our midfield, and our defence have all had decided to sync up their brainfarts. Granted he should have picked Shaw ahead of Young in hindsight, but its not like Young has been poor prior to this game.

edgar allan · Jan 31, 2018

I hear Sanchez's agent is on the phone to City

" I've made a terrible mistake, tell them I will take the 250k a week"

The Firestarter · Jan 31, 2018

That was atrocious. Every 'final' pass is either overhit or the recipient is in offside.

Hugh Jass · Jan 31, 2018

Ok we gifted them a goal, which immediately fecks up everything, but we are too open. Should have played a 4-3-3 and kept it tight like we usually do against a good team away from home.

Game is passing Pogba by. Sanchez has been trying to make things happen, but keeps running infield when defending leaving their right side completely open.

Get a draw out of this and we would be doing well. Pity we conceded so early because we look good in patches. Jones having a mare though.

BluesJr · Jan 31, 2018

Jones. Sell. Smalling. Sell.

Shaw on for Young and Fellaini on for Lingard. Right now.

An Irish Red · Jan 31, 2018

They've scored the two flukiest goals you'll ever see. So irritating.

Woodzy · Jan 31, 2018

We have literally pulled our pants down for them...

You're right. He should've parked the bus.
Our players are not ready to play an attacking style of football, against a top 6 side.

Nothing wrong with the players in attack. You can't just become an attacking team overnight they need to be coached how to do it. We don't look coached at all in possession - just looks like random waves of brilliance. It's not good enough.

Sanchez7 · Jan 31, 2018

Terrible stuff from the team. Our midfield is non existent. Herrera for martial or lingard please.

Jed I. Knight · Jan 31, 2018

We looked promising and like we could do something up until the second goal, after which we’ve been absolutely terrible.

Pogba is absolutely lost out there, and doesn’t look like he knows what he should be doing, and worse, like he can’t be arsed. Mystifying.

Lukaku has also been far below par.

It must be said, and as much as it pains me, Kane is a fecking exceptional striker.

United should just pay whatever Tottenham wants for him in the summer.

westmeath · Jan 31, 2018

Not good enough from so many tonight but Pogba in particular has been invisible

ValenciasDrilledCrosses · Jan 31, 2018

Mourinho gave into his inner muppet with this lineup. Should've been three in midfield but this is what everyone eanted

iammemphis · Jan 31, 2018

I don’t know whats more annoying, the fact we’re left with Jones and Smalling at centre back or the realisation we spunked a ton of money on Rojo and Lindelof. I ask myself if i would rather them two play but I wouldn’t be confident in them either.

Would rather Matic came on at CB in the second half for Smalling or Jones. Imagine being our forward line and knowing you have them two behind you.

Dobba · Jan 31, 2018

People picking out individual players like they've dragged the others down. :lol:

Flying_Heckfish · Jan 31, 2018

Absolute nightmare conceding those goals, we were much the better team for large parts.

I don'y like Martial on the right, or Pogba for that matter. And what is Sanchez doing sooooo deep all the time?

fergieisold · Jan 31, 2018

Scary lack of confidence and uncertainty in our approach defensively.

Fooza · Jan 31, 2018

so much attacking talent and we get dominated by spurs

Irrational. · Jan 31, 2018

We still look dangerous. Need to take control of the midfield though. We still have hope.

We need to go out all guns blazing in the second half.

Looking at how often Spurs can get Kane involved in play versus us with Lukaku is making me sad

Hardly Lukaku's fault to be fair. We never play the ball into his feet.

GM K · Jan 31, 2018

Forget the formation, a lot of players have not come to the party. Jones, Smalling, Young, Matic, Pogba, Valencia. Lukaku has hardly had the ball so I will spare him.

Jake · Jan 31, 2018

Shite that. Really was excited for this game.

Just awful. How disappointing to concede after 11 seconds and to an own goal.

I have no confidence in any of our players to score a goal, I actually don’t.
