One of these days I'll remember to avoid wasting two hours of my weekend watching this rubbish.

Standard United, great for 5 minutes and dire for the next 85.

A couple of pluses was Hojlund and Rashford scoring.
Midfield is still an issue for us, Mainoo wasnt his usual self today.

Ange has got a team that was last managed by Jose and Conte playing controlled, attacking, front foot football. We got battered statistically but thankfully not in the result.

My dad has watched us through the good times and bad times, he's said we've always been an exciting team to watch even when we lost.

Worse thing you can say about a United team is it's boring. And this United side are boring.

Got bossed at OT by a depleted Spurs team. At least we didn’t lose.

Awful.

Only positive is the HT record is intact.

Failing to win another big game, and outplayed at home to fecking Spurs.

Individual performances weren't even bad. That's how you know we're a shit team, when you feel like most of the individuals did well individually but as a team we were a distant 2nd best.

Also, we are on a weekly basis relegation standard in our set pieces, at both ends. Maybe a new manager in the future will understand that you need to be a top team in set pieces to also be a top club in general. Because this one right now is a bit shit at his job, which is coaching.

Demoralizing. We really have fallen so far. I'd really get rid of our dressing room 'leaders' and get in new ones so the youngsters don't get poisoned.

Martinez is back, very happy for him. Hopefully both Casemiro and Shaw will be available next week.
Onana will be gone as well. ;)

It's looking less bleak now.

Point flatters us in terms of general play but there were moments that should have led to the win. We are such a basic ass team though, shit basic football, hoof it into space and run.

Hojlund was very good.

United make me feel dirty. And not in a sexy way.

We are going to finish this season in bottom half, if Ten Hag keeps playing McTominay and if we keep being such a flip-flop team switching from greatness to utter crap within the same game, multiple times

Either Erik gets his shit together or he needs to be sacked even sooner than Summer

Personally, i'd have taken a draw today. Great to see Licha back, and a bit more from Rashford, plus Hojlund on the score sheet. Some positives to take.

Disagree with Neville's assessment. Spurs had a lot of possession, but didn't threaten much in open play. Not convinced they were by far the better side like he asserts.

Too little too late. Top 4 is gone after today.

They deserved nothing more.

It's an awful team to watch, completely open at times.

If Spurs were at full strength it could have been another 5 to 7 nil.

Can't get any run going. Team is bang average. Feels like most fans are just lost for words at this point.

Average to poor is our default performance level these days, there really isn't anything that we excel at.

Kinda disappointed with that to be honest.

We were pretty good in the first half, but so so poor second half. Need a bit of transfer action in the winter break to lift us, cos that’s honestly flat and a bit miserable.

What was the difference between holding Garnacho which wasn't a foul and what Eriksen did, which was one?

It's hilarious how bad we are.

The usual suspects again displaying how useless they are.

Really really poor today, we are just rubbish to watch.
When will ETH learn that you can't play Bruno and Erikson in a 3 man midfield.

Poor performance. Happy for Rashford and Hojlund but the first one must do lot better in his overall game. Happy also with Martinez making comeback. Second half was really poor. Got better with McTominay sub where we got more compact. He should have scored that header. Fernandes needs to stop running everywhere. He needs to be central.
