At some point, someone is going to punch Dele Alli in the face. I want to buy that person a beer.
How come?Ive never agreed with that school of thought.
I'm not justifying it, hell. But as a manager you look at it and get confident about this tactic, and have this to point at.There's only so many times we can do that. If you want to win the PL, it's not going to based off hoof ball. Ridiculous to even use today's goal to justify it.
People need to watch this post match interview to understand Jose.
Hlory Gunters, mostly. Passing the ball sideways hurts their foreheads. Passing it back to the goalkeeper makes them mad. They once kicked a soccer ball back to a kid at the beach and never forgot that experience.I have a hard time believing most of these are actually United fans.
Could Jose be done for speaking about the ref?
In fact, you are stonkingly right. But how the feck are you surprised?I am surprised at the negativity. It was not boring at all. We attacked much more than Spurs did. Spurs is not some middle of the table team. There are on level with us and drew with Real Madrid in Madrid in the CL. They are in the inform team. They created only one chance and we created a lot more. Mikhi was getting better in the second half and if Rashford was a bit more alert he should have scored from the rebound from Mikhi's shot on goal. Lukaku hit the post too. So it is not such a bad performance as some people make it out to be. In fact it is a good performance.
Didn't he praise the ref?Could Jose be done for speaking about the ref?
But then again Wenger called one of the refereeing decisions 'scandalous' a couple of weeks back.
A combination of many factors. Agendas, stuck in the past, unrealistic expectations.We beated Spurs, didn't give them any chances to score a goal exept one, played good football, got 3 points. What's wrong? Why some are still moaning?

The matchday thread was the worst of it all. I said in it some people seem to be torturing themselves watching football with this level of negativity.I am surprised at the negativity.

won't need to. he'll lose his rag more often than not and spend weeks bannedAt some point, someone is going to punch Dele Alli in the face. I want to buy that person a beer.
The logical conclusion to that argument is that there's never been an undeserved loss or victory in football and that every result matches the performance, no matter how the game unfolded. That makes no sense to my mind.How come?
If you create a chance and proceed to score and your opponent fails to do the same, then why don't you deserve the points?
The overall performance ceases to be relevant. If you win the league, your critics don't look back on games and say the title is underserved because they didn't play well.
Yea, it was just the form we were in and the form they were in, I thought they'd have us easy.I'd have been p'd off.
But with Pogba in for Mikki we would have dominated the first half too....Big win, big display from Young and big balls from Martial!
We were very poor - slightly better in the second half - in term of creativity and drive forward, however, the guys showed passion this time (which we lacked completely last week) and that's what keeps you in the game even on a poor day.
Lukaku with a pretty difficult game as he wasn't getting sh** all from the midfield in first half, made a few bad decisions and hit the post in the second. Nevertheless good for him that he was involved in the goal - we need him to score goals again!
Young my motm.
PS with Kane leading their line I think we would have lost..
I get that but our form this week has wound me up it would have only added to it.Yea, it was just the form we were in and the form they were in, I thought they'd have us easy.
well, you just go ahead and convince yourself that we were great. I have to laugh at the people who voted Martial MoM. says a lot more about the caf, if you ask meThe matchday thread was the worst of it all. I said in it some people seem to be torturing themselves watching football with this level of negativity.
If I reached the kind of negativity I saw in matchday threads I'll stop watching football immediately.
Definitely better than being a moaner who sees everything in a very negative way. I won't bear such a life as football fan.well, you just go ahead and convince yourself that we were great. I have to laugh at the people who voted Martial MoM. says a lot more about the caf, if you ask me
Then I guess much of it comes down to the nature of the goals scored or indeed not as the case may be.The logical conclusion to that argument is that there's never been an undeserved loss or victory in football and that every result matches the performance, no matter how the game unfolded. That makes no sense to my mind.
Sometimes a great performance doesn't get three points, and you deserved more. Other times a stinking performance gets three points, and you didn't deserve it. I think most fans would see the game that way.
Dude, if you are negative all the time, then perhaps football/MUFC is not the sport/team for you.well, you just go ahead and convince yourself that we were great. I have to laugh at the people who voted Martial MoM. says a lot more about the caf, if you ask me
It's forbidden to make any sort of comment about the referee, including praise. I think SAF was punished once (or at least warned) for making a similar comment.Didn't he praise the ref?
If Lingard had pinned his ears back and gone for it instead of looking for back up, he wouldn't have been caught.2 things I noticed.
Eric Dier is ridiculously fast. He made Rashford look pedestrian.
And Lingard is very slow. With head start of about 5-10 metres, Erikson caught up and overtook Lingard.
Guardiola probably raged last season when we won 2 trophies and he won zilch.Guardiola must laugh when he watches some of our attempts at combination play.
Spurs were lucky, that we had Ibra, Pogba, Rojo, Fellaini - all injured.Game really lacking in attacking quality and with poor play in general, first half was abysmal. Second half improved with more fight which is great to see but I think we got a bit lucky playing a Kane-less and surprisingly negative Spurs.
Yes he really needs a goal will do him the world of good, 4 games now without a goal may start playing in his head. Can't wait for Pogba to get back, will get him on his way again freeing Miki up more and I am sure Matic will get back to the player we saw in the first couple of games, now he has to hang back to cover Miki and Herrera's mistakes.Shame Lukaku's shot hit the post
Spurs were lucky that we had Jesse Lingard as our furthest attacker instead of a good player.Spurs were lucky, that we had Ibra, Pogba, Rojo, Fellaini - all injured.
Spurs were also lucky that we didn't score 3 goals. We narrowly missed some chances.
Spurs should count themselves very very lucky that they escaped with only 1 goal against them.
