the tl;dr version is Spurs adapted to our press in the 2nd half, and that we are still shit at passing.
 
The warning signs were there. Wolves should have won on August the 14th. Then Brighton spanked Wolves 4:1. So Brighton are playing better football than United.

Good watch, Spurs pushed their fullbacks out wider in 2nd half and we struggled with too much space to defend.

Basically, we arent very good at passing, we arent very good at pressing, we arent very good at attacking, we arent very good at defending, we arent very good at being consistant.

We are mediocre at everything. That sums it up.

Brighton would tear us to shreds right now.
 
You and me both mate. I first started to support Manchester United just after Munich and despite living some way away, I have done ever since. Like you, I find performances like that incredibly frustrating. Not just because of how they lost, which was more of a capitulation, but the way they played.
These are some very good players who just lost their heads and their discipline. They ended up as a disorganised rabble.

And by the way, did you see how easily Brighton put 4 past Wolves away.
We have to break the bank and buy the best, most prolific striker we can and offer him whatever he wants. I read today that the Glazers have finally agreed to sell to Sheikh Jassim so hopefully ETH will soon get the money to buy who ever he wants. Im not saying money buys guaranteed success but the way things are going its guaranteed we'll be struggling this season without a top striker and fresh faces in midfield; I like Bruno but these days hes too inconsistent and Casmiro is looking slow and off the pace and we need somebody to inject some pace and aggression, something I hope Mount will do once hes settled in.
