defensively we are shite

Smalling and Herrera with last ditch tackles we shouldnt have to make.....

sloppy on the ball and poor marking.... that last chance for Alli they had a 3 on 2 from nowhere

Pogba wow - really really needs to step up

 

[Patrick08]

Playing great. Just need fecking goal.

Wouldn't say great. Not sharp enough in final third.

 

[Thiim]

Is there a game of who can shield the ball for the longest duration? and then lose the ball.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

No one showed for Pogba there at all. Was either lose it or try a risky back pass

This, Matic or Herrera can move in to a position to make the offer. I mean Pogba could have got it away earlier but when he was in trouble no one offered a thing.

 

[SirAnderson]

He would be better than Pogba out there.

My edited post says "watch him score now in this game"

 

[Minimalist]

Lol Jose points forward. Fred throws it back.

 

[Trophy Room]

Need to regroup a bit.

 

[Bobski]

Spurs have not exactly been playing the ball out confidently against this press either, a ton of long balls, and a mistakes when their vaunted pair have tried to take it out.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Not quite the ball Rom, but much better from us on the counter.

 

[BluesJr]

We are lacking quality but at least we have some intensity.

 

[Needham]

Fred, Lukaku's miss, Valencia's shot. We're playing better but there is a vintage comedy reel in production here.

 

[rpitchfo]

Frantic is probably the best way to describe that half.

I think spurs look more dangerous and the back three doesn’t seem to be helping us but we have had some chances and I’ve enjoyed the game from an entertainment perspective

 

[kouroux]

Maybe not the ideal game to reintroduce Matic

This was before the game. Twitter was full of incredibly knee-jerk reactions like this. Guess most of them are red-faced now. I accept Jose has faults, but give him a chance ffs.

 

[Bojan11]

When we get in the final third it’s so fecking slow

 

[HJ12]

Feckin hell, Lukaku is a static cart-horse

 

[Patrick08]

Third time Lukakau has fluffed the final ball.

 

[Cpt Negative]

Enjoyable first half. Actually played some decent stuff

 

[SirAnderson]

We really should have been 1-0 up right now man! Makes me mad just thinking about that sitter of a miss.

 

[kouroux]

Lukaku's passing

 

[Jippy]

And I thought for a second..."yes its not Valencia about to cross the ball its Fred"....then he did that.

 

[Irrational.]

We've been very good but haven't found a way through. Lukaku guilty of missing a couple of golden chances. Shocking.

Best player: Lingard.

Worst player: Shitba.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

enjoyed the first half , played some good football.
Spurs should have had a pen, if our finish touch would have been better we would be leading and comfortablely leading.

 

[NJM78]

Lukaku and Pogba should go back to LA and gather the talent they left behind.

 

[Reddy Rederson]

defensively we are shite

Smalling and Herrera with last ditch tackles we shouldnt have to make.....

Which would explain why Jose never wants to play attacking with this team, and wanted some new defenders brought in.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Deserve to be winning here. Great 1st half.

 

[el3mel]

Great stuff most of times. Happy with every player except Pogba and Lukaku, who are equally rubbish.

Shaw has been a joy to watch today.

 

[ManUnitedCanuck]

Pocch going to get sent to stands and suspended for kicking water bottles??? Or is that only a Mou rule?

 

[LilyWhiteSpur]

Kane should have put Lucas through.

 

[Cpt Negative]

Let's not discuss that cross. Ever.

Bebesque

 

[SirAnderson]

Oh goodness, Lukaku is so so poor tonight on the ball.

 

[Kazi]

Just saw Fellaini warming up
(watch him score in this game now)

Would prefer him for Pogba RN

 

[Smithy89]

Lukaku and Pogba quite poor so far.

 

[Dyslexic Untied]

Very promising half

 

[dannyrhinos89]

We’re playing well but missed chances could cost us

Lukaku and Pogba letting us down again

Fred, Herrera and Jesse showing a lot of fight tonight.

 

[arnie_ni]

Lingard smalling shaw and herrera have been fabulous

Matic and jones awful

Everyone else ok

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Good half. Pressing them well and playing some quick football. Shout out to Shaw, Fred, Herrera and Lingard.

 

[Godfather]

At least we are trying. Clear lack of quality in that team though.

 

[Renegade]

pogba 89m
Lukaku 75m

People say Jose hasn’t been backed.

Is it wrong to expect more for that money? They looked like kings at the World Cup.

 

[Thiim]

Lukaku without a single accomplishment this half.

 

[Rajma]

If we had a striker instead of Lukaku we would be running away with this, good effort and refreshing to see us play with intensity. Keep it up!
