It didn't help but kind of set the bar for how terrible we were. We were never winning that game, they just wanted it much more.Early goal ruined it for us.
God I hope Jose learns. This fecking formation with Pogba in a 2 man midfield doesn’t work in big matchesThe only positive is if we never play 4-2-3-1 in big matches again and also never play Young or Smalling in matches against quality opposition again when we have other options.
There are actually no positives to take from that performance other than that pretty awesome save DDG had on a shot Kane had at point blank even though it was offside and wouldn't have counted anyways.
Aside from that ridiculous tackle, Valencia was far from a headless chicken. He was actually ridiculously composed on the ball at times deep in his own half, own his own and under pressure.He should have conceded a penalty with his brain-dead tackling. Another worst player today, just by running around a bit he escapes scrutiny. It's high time we stop rating headless chickens like Young, Valencia.
Tbh I think it got United playing well. Yea the early goal is something you don’t want to give up but the first half an hour or so United were attacking with purpose knowing they were down. I imagine they’d sit back otherwise like they did the last half hour of the game...Early goal ruined it for us.
First 15 minutes was when we played best! You missed our peak!I missed the first 15 minutes because I was on the way back from setting Coco at the cinema....so that was nice for me, especially as Coco is a brilliant film.
I have 7 more hours. Debating cutting it short.I’ve completed dry January.
Was we feck. The defending and midfield didn’t even turn up, it’s was not a couple of months ago that we beat this lot.No, we were just outplayed by an overall better team
Be smarter if he had. 4-2-3-1 away at this Spurs side was a bit silly.Only if Jose now realises we need 3 midfielders.
I got 10/11 in the lineup prediction as I figured surely Jose would play Herrera or Fellaini.
That’s not a positive. Show some respect to our own players.Fellaini got injured and won't be played for a while again.
He really wasn't composed, our entire defence is not composed, they are always looking to hoof it clear under the slightest and I mean the slightest amount of pressure from the opponents and Valencia was no different today.Aside from that ridiculous tackle, Valencia was far from a headless chicken. He was actually ridiculously composed on the ball at times deep in his own half, own his own and under pressure.
So 6 points.5 points above spurs with a better GD
He should have parked it then....play on the counter and he should never start Jones/Smalling together in a big game.Yeah, there is.
I hope fans will now finally see why Mourinho park the bus in big matches. Because we criminally lack quality, concentration, skill and general IQ. Especially in defence.
That is the point. People keep blaming the defence for the problems today plus Matic, who I agree didn't play well, but had no support from these clowns who just pranced around the pitch. Contrast that with Spurs & Man City, where the likes of Erickson, & Kevin De Bryne really work hard to support the defence.Positive is the fact Sanchez chases the opposition like a terrier, hopefully Martial, Pogba and Lukaku see that and start doing it as well. Because honestly almost every time we lose the ball the 3 of them are strolling.
Tevez and Rooney used to do it a lot, and even CR7 used to join in on it so hopefully it's contagious again.
We played quite well between the first and second goal. That’s it.I can’t think of a single positive. Not a single good thing about that tragedy of a performance. How can we tumble down so low performance wise? For the first time in Jose’ tenure, I think I’m pretty worried.
5 and a half.So 6 points.
It's the outfought bit that pisses me. So little chasing, so few proper challenges, so easy to wave their arms/feel sorry for themselves.Not really. Outplayed and more disturbingly outfought.
