Spurs’ first is clear offside, Richarlison is on the line interfering De Gea big time, he couldn’t dive.
That break in the middle has worn me out. It just seems never ending. Cup finals in June for goodness sake.I'm already tired of this football season thanks to the mid season WC and I don't even play (I do have to watch Wout Weghorst weekly though, which is exhausting on it's own). The players looked gassed.
Aye even their average players have suddenly started banging them in from all angles. We are probably the most wasteful “top” side. Don’t score anywhere near enough goals.Sad to think that Newcastle are more clinical and ruthless than us.
Because he had zero clue Richarlison was there. It didn't effect him in the slightestNot that it really matters but I don’t see how their first goal is allowed to stand. De Gea should have made more of that imo, try and dive or something? I dunno, make the ref aware that a fecking spurs player is offside and in your way?
Yeah, I don't blame him for that. But he should be giving AWB and Antony a major bollocking for starting the second half that poorly.He didn't know what version of Fred he was going to get unfortunately.
That exact same sub has been made quite a few times this season and in some of those games Fred became one of the best player on the pitch. The sub itself wasnt wrong or a bad idea, Fred just had a horrible game. Dont know why it wouldnt be a clever move.Fred’s sub was not a clever move. But yea, we were knackered by the end.
A lot had us beaten before we even kicked off. A lot have us losing every game before we even kick off.Don’t get me wrong, I am really annoyed that we can’t seem to kill off games. We piss about casually with nowhere near enough urgency like we’re 5-0 up when it’s only 1 or 2, and now the super long season is catching up with us it’s costing us, but it’s also pretty certain that all the other teams around us are going to drop points too (especially as they have to play each other) and we’re still in the best position to be, and considering Spurs actually needed to win and lots of the doom & gloom wankers seemed to be worried we’d lose this game because Spurs needed a reaction in the matchday thread yesterday… really this is fine
Rashford had a decent long range effort. We did nothing in their box once Martial arrived.I couldn't either.
It's a two halves game. Need to focus on both.
To be fair he did. It's called chaos.That exact same sub has been made quite a few times this season and in some of those games Fred became one of the best player on the pitch. The sub itself wasnt wrong or a bad idea, Fred just had a horrible game. Dont know why it wouldnt be a clever move.
People ask for the Eriksen/Fred sub because Fred brings 'energy' but today Fred just didnt bring anything.
Well... Fred didnt bring anything positive for Manchester United would be the better description of that performance.To be fair he did. It's called chaos.
This time he’s at fault bad subs at the wrong time. We need 4 wins from 7 games it’s that simple, United have a habit of making things akways very difficult2 points dropped. Ten Hag will be fuming with that.
The owners knew we needed a striker in January and this is what we got, plus the other who cannot stay fit. The fact Brandon Williams has weedled his way back into the squad says a lot.Subs killed it. Lack of depth very obvious again. Very good first half though.
Yeah. No more pace up front. It became easier to defend.Rashford had a decent long range effort. We did nothing in their box once Martial arrived.
I think we’re very poor in possession more than anything. I’d love to see our possession stats compared to the bottom teams and ball turnovers. We seem to be as bad as any PL team at passing.Aye even their average players have suddenly started banging them in from all angles. We are probably the most wasteful “top” side. Don’t score anywhere near enough goals.
Daft thing you think of pace with Martial. Think he has got to the stage that he is trying to avoid injury which is no use to us.Yeah. No more pace up front. It became easier to defend.
If we get 12/21 points it won't matter if they get 18/18. We have 4 of 7 matches at home. And a schedule that eases up now with us out of Europe.If we don't, Liverpool are a problem.
This is it. In essence ETH can't trust him. I think we've seen that in recent weeks where Fred has played a bit part, but I can see why he brought him on with tiring legs. Unfortunately, Fred isn't the only player that can't be trusted. Malacia is a real issue now.He didn't know what version of Fred he was going to get unfortunately.
Oh to be able to bring someone on like a Phil Foden.Our forwards pressing was non existent 2nd half. Spurs could stroll up to the half way line and were given pretty free runs at full backs. Sit on the edge of our box and hope we get away with it, complete with a few penalty box scrambles. Its an old, old trick that never works.
Its hard to blame rashford for being knackered and conserving energy or Martial trying to manage his injuries but its sets a terrible standard. We need enough quality to push Rashford and Bruno and so on to the bench long before they get to this point of looking kind of burned out. Very few of the others have an excuse for tiredness, they haven't played that many games.
Theres been progress this season but a lot of the old demons are still there.
He's not as creative as Kane either, which makes it worse. Just a nice pass here and there, and bam.. that would be 300k mam..Daft thing you think of pace with Martial. Think he has got to the stage that he is trying to avoid injury which is no use to us.
I am as annoyed as you are but AWB needed to subbed 10 minutes earlier. He was so poor on their first goal, jogging slowly rather than closing the winger down. He was also finding it difficult in the first half.Thought first half we looked good knockign the ball about.....BUT that had a lot to do with jsut how dreadful this SPurs side currently are. The Pochettino press is long gone, the Conte spirit is long gone, they literally just got men behind the ball and we were able to pass it around at will. Failure to beat that side is very very poor.
As a couple of people have said, for all Ten Hag has doen this season and overall it has been very good...I appreciate we are near the end of a season with tired players and injury problems, but his substitutions are confusing me.
Bissaka is playing well, yet he is always the one to come off and Dalot is moved to right back....where we then get exposed as we did again tonight. Not many options obviously and people are going to point towards his work rate, but Weighirst literally offers absolutely nothing but that, no hold up play, link up play, goals or quality, one of the worst players I have ever seen where the shirt, he is simply terrible...moving on toxic Ronaldo may hav ebeen right but christ surely there were better loan options than Wieghorst.
Also a few of thes players have had good games recently and a few havent....but Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Fred, McTominay, Martial...that lot must have cost us upwards of £250m, been here a fair few seasons most of them and they have barely put a seasons worth of performances of real quality between them. They should all go, they would pretty much pay for a new striker and central midfielder we desperately need and add them to th deadwood we could get a yougn CB too with a near zero net spend.
Our progression this season really comes down to an intelligent manager with authority and two genuine quality signings, we are still a long way short of a title chasing squad in terms of consistent quality irrespective of how good City are the last few seasons, missing a couple tonight is further evidence of this, that Spurs side is dreadful despite some good players, how on earth are they still hanging on to a CL place tussle is beyong me
Are they though? Casemiro constantly giving the ball today cost us big time. Malacia pretty much single handedly cost us the Sevilla tie recently. And less said about Weghorst the better.I agree his signings are not beyond criticism I think his signings are the least of our problems. I'm happy with the characters he's brought in and given the loser mentality pervading the existing squad I can't think what signings ten Hag could have made last summer that would have had the required transformative effect.
It will be interesting to see who goes after Kane. We need CL football I think for him to come to us.He's not as creative as Kane either, which makes it worse. Just a nice pass here and there, and bam.. that would be 300k mam..
Martial is no use to us. Full stop.Daft thing you think of pace with Martial. Think he has got to the stage that he is trying to avoid injury which is no use to us.
Exactly. Ronaldo had to go but needed to be replaced with a decent striker. As bad as he was, Id still have fancied Ronaldo to score at least 10-15 goals in the second half of the season and that’s the level of striker we needed to bring in to replace his goals. Once again the Glazers have screwed us over.The owners knew we needed a striker in January and this is what we got, plus the other who cannot stay fit. The fact Brandon Williams has weedled his way back into the squad says a lot.
There are more issues than that, but an actual striker would be nice, an actual striker in January would have been nice.To those who think we’re just a striker away
