What a fecking shit performance against a shit team.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Our two players of the season scoring both goals.

First half good. second half disgraceful. Need to sort that out.

Still unbeaten.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Utter garbage. Lucky to get a point

Not lucky at all. The team showed something they haven't done in a while; perseverance. Something you would do well to learn yourself since you buckled and said you don't support us anymore.

Today is the day after 40 years, I have stopped supporting this club. Once and for all. I have had enough.

 

[Nas-JR]

I thought we'd turned a corner against Liverpool by fighting back from the equaliser to get a win. But as the games against Forest and Spurs have shown, we really struggle to hold the fort when we come under pressure. We had absolutely no control in that second half whatsoever.

If you're a glass half full person you'd also note that, we came back to score in both to get a point which shows resilience. We're not going to go from being 15th to title contenders overnight..

 

[waza7111]

We lacked physicality all over the pitch.

Tottenham looked like they had more energy despite playing in midweek.

The team selection was bizarre with Cunha on the right and Mbeumo on the left.

Just put players in their best positions where they have been playing well.

 

[TheNewEra]

Awful subs. Taking Cunha and Casemiro off brought Spurs back in when we were in control

Cunha was awful though.

 

[Ekeke]

Half as many shots as Spurs and our 2 shots on target were the 2 goals.

Yes we defended a long time before Spurs broke through but I think we were lucky to be ahead at half time and a point is better than our performance

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Casemiro coming off meant that we lost control, but the man was gassed. He can't play a full 90.

A serious club looks at getting someone in January.

 

[McFred]

Maguire - Yoro
Cunha - Mount
Casemiro - Ugarte
Dorgu - Dalot
Maz - Sesko

The downgrade in terms of quality and leadership when the subs were made shows that the squad still has a way to go to be strong enough to push on towards top 4. Good character to dig out a point having gone behind.

 

[chris123]

Funny how the Spurs and Forest games were basically exactly the same.

Seems like a pattern now we are comfortable for the first 45 minutes, lose our focus, and then switch on with our backs to the wall.

Suppose last year it was lose our focus and totally crumble sooo progress?

 

[Manny]

Spurs are so bad. And they gave us plenty of spells to win this game.

 

[Red Royal]

Subs were fine, we just never looked like getting that 2nd goal and even though we equalised late it feels like a defeat.

 

[Brazilian_Ronaldo_9]

People here crying, remember we haven’t got a full squad yet to compete. We only have a good 11aside squad. Cunha had a bad second half, deserved to be hooked but his replacement isn’t of same quality.

Casemiro is an old man, he can’t last a full game. Unfortunately his replacement isn’t average. We haven’t got a full squad to compete unless we batter teams in the first half.

 

[ForeverRed1]

Take a point away from home and move on.

Everton, palace, West Ham, wolves, Bournemouth next five.

 

[WouterWeghorst]

4 points dropped in two games, both games gave the lead away, not nearly good enough, you have to win the games like these to get into Europe, especially when the other team is missing its best players

At the same time we get 2 points from tough away games, coming back from being behind in adversity.

Far from good enough or were we should be, but it’s an improvement over how terrible we were last year. You can’t expect to go from a season like that a title challenging team.

 

[Heinzesight]

Did the meltdown crew not realise we were down to ten men?

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

Desperately unlucky to not win today. We had that game, we managed the match really well, defended really well but the narrative just completely went against us, like someone just turned a dial all the way to max. In such difficult circumstances, I have to praise the character of the team to get the equaliser at the end when we were down and out.

It’s disappointing how the last 10min went but a point is ok and extends out unbeaten run.

That wasn't bad luck at all. It was yet another collapse in a long line of them, against a shite team who played midweek.

 

[acnumber9]

3 points dropped then a point gained. Mixed emotions. On the face of it, a draw away at Spurs isn't a bad result.

Only if you ignore that fact that Spurs are awful.

 

[Rasmus_9]

Awful subs. Taking Cunha and Casemiro off brought Spurs back in when we were in control

Funnily enough I thought it was the opposite. Spurs were bossing us before the changes and they improved us. Just so happened Spurs also broke away and scored. C’est La Vie

 

[Winrar]

I swear I was gonna break something had we lost that. Can't stand the thought of losing more games in a row against this lost.

Worryingly similar to the Forest game, unfortunately there's not much we can do about that at this point since we don't have a bench that's adequate enough. We need to make our January window count.

 

[SB16]

If you're a glass half full person you'd also note that, we came back to score in both to get a point which shows resilience. We're not going to go from being 15th to title contenders overnight..

Sure. But the true mark of progress will be when we don't have to resort to last minute goals to save a point in the first place. The drop in intensity and mentality after half time is concerning.

 

[RobbieBerns]

I want to see Zirkzee get some starts between Mbeumo and Cunha after the international break

 

[Crimson King]

Well at least they had most of the ball and won most 50/50s and second balls. So is not nothing. It's more than us by some distance if you factor in duels and build up.

I mean the eye test showed we were pretty comfortable, other than the first 10 minutes of the second half when Lammens had to make a couple of really good saves.

We then looked like the most likely to score. The ref let them off a couple of times with some very soft decisions as we attacked.

We really should have gone for it more from the start and not played with 2 defensive WBs.

In the end have to be happy with the point. We were dealt a hefty slice of bad luck in that second half. I just hope at some point we start to score enough goals we don't need to worry about that kind of thing

 

[Pscholes18]

I think Sesko will learn. He always seems to take too much time. Needs to realize the speed of this league.

 

[united for life]

No questions around Sesko, he's a young man finding his feet in a much quicker league, let him have the time Ugarte has had.

He needs time, but he gets knocked around when in possession facing the goal real easy… hope he starts showing improvement. That’s critical for his game

 

[Red Will Danaher]

Not lucky at all. The team showed something they haven't done in a while; perseverance. Something you would do well to learn yourself since you buckled and said you don't support us anymore.

Nah wasn't luck to grab a last minute header to secure a draw against one of the most pitiful teams we have played against all season. But sure cheer, we are definitely going in the right direction. All is well!! Woohoo! Pass me another cup of that drink everyone's on.

 

[edgecutter]

That wasn't bad luck at all. It was yet another collapse in a long line of them, against a shite team who played midweek.

Spurs are not shite. They are up there in the league this year and have been better with Frank as their manager. Losing last year to that lot was embarrassing, this year is a different story

 

[Longshanks]

A game no-one deseved to win. And in the end noone did. Two poor sides really in a poor game.

 

[sglowrider]

We lost control of the play the moment Casemiro went off

 

[MonkeysMagic]

I just dont have much confidence in this team that they can keep teams out. We have 10 men behind the ball but we 'defend' so statically most teams can drive a double deckrr bus through them!

Having to score 2 goals to only draw games every match, that is telling you that we wont win most matches. We defend as individuals not a team...and oh yeah, next time Utd buy a no.9 that is blessed with 1 brain cell I will leap for joy!

 

[Crimson King]

Awful subs. Taking Cunha and Casemiro off brought Spurs back in when we were in control

No it didn't, if anything we were comfortable right up until the deflected equaliser

 

[Lewnited]

Good to remain undefeated in the last few, but this lack of desire to kill games has cost us two games in a row.

I think we also need to solidify the front three now as well. I'd have either of Mount or Zirkzee on the pitch over Sesko and I have no idea why Cunha and Mbeumo remained swapped for thebfull 90 today.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Did the meltdown crew not realise we were down to ten men?

Exactly. They had a man advantage for the second goal at home. And I think Lammens had the initial shot covered, but Richarlison is not going to have a scoring glance like that for the next three seasons. Don't think the sequence of actions leading up to goal could have been too different. But we needed someone other than Ugarte and Dalot on the pitch to keep control.

 

[Crimson King]

We lost control of the play the moment Casemiro went off

No we didn't. No idea what game people were watching

 

[BorisManUtd]

Half as many shots as Spurs and our 2 shots on target were the 2 goals.

Yes we defended a long time before Spurs broke through but I think we were lucky to be ahead at half time and a point is better than our performance

We didn't do much but did more than Spurs and 1-0 wasn't unfair result. However, 2nd half was really poor and we HAD to get second goal to win it. Of course we didn't and deserved what happened later. De Ligt late goal makes it bearable because I'd be sick if we lost again to this Spurs side. Not being able to beat them for years now is bad enough.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Nah wasn't luck to grab a last minute header to secure a draw against one of the most pitiful teams we have played against all season. But sure cheer, we are definitely going in the right direction. All is well!! Woohoo! Pass me another cup of that drink everyone's on.

Uh huh. If you're just going to whine and bitch about every single thing then you can follow through with your "taking my ball and going home" pathetic shite and simply bolt.

 

[siw2007]

That wasn't bad luck at all. It was yet another collapse in a long line of them, against a shite team who played midweek.

Spurs were nowhere, we had that game. For Van de Ven to make that tackle was superb, another day that’s a goal for us. Both went against us at that moment. There is an element of luck involved, such is the game.

 

[always_hoping]

Performance was not good and that is far from a good Spurs team, among the worst I've seen for crossing the ball.

Thankfully were clinical with two goals from two shots on target, draw probably a fair result in the end and until United can make themselves harder to score against they can forget about European football next season.

 

[The Hilton]

I put £5 on a draw and a Spurs win at 40/1 just after our subs, as I had a sinking feeling with Dalot coming on. I was in the process of pushing cash out, literally thumb touching the button, for £200 when it paused because of our corner. 2 seconds away from a lovely bonus.

That aside, thought we were comfortable for the entire game, undone by 2 lucky deflections (Richarlison was blatantly trying to get out of the way), incredible character to run up the other end and score.

Frustrating to only draw when we should have won, but the team is unrecognisable from the one that was pretty meek away to Fulham and Brentford. It's a huge improvement now they're playing with belief.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

So much of our crossing is awful, so to score from two is surprising.
