I can't tell if we are playing well or not, I don't like that

 

[Kaos]

Dare I say decent enough half. Much better from the last game, and its good to see Mount dropping deep when we don't have the ball.

We desperately need to be more clinical up front, Rashford isn't going to cut it as a 9, so we desperately need our Dane to get fit.

 

[sglowrider]

He's better than Monday. The problem is we're toothless up front all round

Garnacho needs to add more to his locker. His runs are nearly as predictable as Antony's

 

[christinaa]

Michael Oliver hates us

 

[amolbhatia50k]

We're being overrun in the midfield now. Mount has been very poor, and understandably so.

Except he’s not

 

[Ekeke]

We were the better side, should have had a penalty and Bruno should be scoring that header.

Much better than Monday that was.

They hit the post and bar. Were closer than we were

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

Sancho on for Antony.

Onana has been excellent.

 

[Samoerai Jack]

When Wan-Bissaka or Mount get the ball I rest easily, when Garnacho or Rashford get it I'm not so comfortable. The players are still clearly learning this new pressing style and getting used to the amazing Onana. Understandably that takes away energy which allows Spurs to get some moves going. Good news is there's a sense of progression and when it all clicks it will be a fearful side indeed.

 

[Stobzilla]

Good in the first two thirds. Poor finishing again.

Good save from keeper on Rashford.
Bruno with one that is usually nightmare fuel.
Clear penalty not given.

We really should have at least 2 goals here.

 

[Chicharo]

We're still leaving too much space in the middle. Their best attacks came after they were able to cut us open, and leave the space for Son on the left

 

[redcucumber]

Same issues as last season which the window didn't address. The outright improvement has definitely been Onana what he brings to the team cannot be understated.

We signed Hojlund to rectify a lot of our isues tbf

 

[DJ_21]

Still don’t get how Bruno missed that header but scored some better ones over the last year.

Yeah, I'm not getting it. I was happy with what I saw outside of not scoring.

There is a reason why we signed Hojlund, though. It just unfortunate that he cannot play.

 

[redNATION]

Antony useless as usual. Hopefully shift him to Saudi next summer

 

[arnie_ni]

That's a cosy studio

 

[sixdwarf]

Has to be said that

Think Mounts been a lot better this game than the last but I don’t know what’s going on with Casemiro.

But he couldn't get worse than he was against Wolves. That is a very low bar. I don't get the signing.

 

[redom]

Seems like Spurs are purposefully using their press to funnel it towards AWB because he seems to be the out ball a lot of the time, we need to try and mix it up a bit and stop them controlling the direction of our play so easily. We've done ok so far but we do seem to run out of ideas in the final third and then when we did create a guilt edge chance Fernandes wasted it.

 

[Trophy Room]

The only thing that matters is that we don’t have a team capable of winning the title.

 

[Castia]

That’s just bollocks, he closes down the centre backs when they’re on the ball, that’s what a lone striker is required to do. Do you want him sprinting after Bissouma into midfield leaving no one up top when we transition?

He’s let his man glide past him numerous times just like he did against wolves, he looks like he can’t be bothered more often than not

 

[Adisa]

People obsess over control. We are playing a Spurs side who play attacking football away from home. Yes, they have had a couple of breaks but thinking you can completely close them down is not realistic.

 

[James35]

Rashford out of position or not dropped a solid 2/10 - his effort level is a joke. Mount looks better, Bruno despite miss has been good also. Garnacho better but still looks raw and Antony, I just can’t get my head around him as a player.

They have run off Casemiro so many times and it’s when we face top teams in league and CL they will take full advantage of it, luckily we have played two teams so far who can’t seem to score that easily either. I’m still praying we got a deal left in this window.

Pretty even so far, would take a point now.

 

[The Taurean]

Such a frustrating end delivery. Should have been ahead easily.

 

[Tony247]

Far better than last week tbh

 

[always_hoping]

United should have got a penalty, if it happened at the other end I have no doubt it would be awarded to Tottenham.

Fairly even contest whereby both had decent chances to score. I'll glad take another Man United 1-0 win right now.

 

[Dannn411]

A lot better than Monday night even though it's harder to be worse than we were on Monday but at least we look coherent now. It's because Mount is playing deeper and closer to Casemiro which is the only way this has any chance of working. Would still like someone right alongside Casemiro but its better than what we had on Monday and most of the pre-season for sure.

But I am worried about Casemiro. He looks way off even what he looked like last year. The zip isn't there for some reason. Is he injured or something? And the less said about Antony the better.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Good first half, enjoyed it
100% pen for me

 

[Crimson King]

They hit the post and bar. Were closer than we were

Both were deflections though, no?

 

[evil_geko]

We're being overrun in the midfield now. Mount has been very poor, and understandably so.

Mount was one of the best players ffs! What are you even watching.

 

[arnoldS]

How are people saying we are poor? We have been very good. Spurs at the back are shite and they can't handle the pressing. Our finishing is abysmal though. Bruno with the miss of the season.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

It's been a good game to be fair.

It’s average. No style of play. No pressing.

 

[Nick7]

Mount’s been good. We were the better team for 80% of that half. Rashford clearly uncomfortable at a striker still and trying a bit too hard but had one or two good moments. Press from midfield and full backs is much better but still not top tier work. Defence has been fine other than Shaw getting caught out a few times. Another good to very good AWB performance, if he improves the one/two seconds directly after receiving the ball he’ll improve even more.

 

[JediSith]

Let down in the final 3rd. Too many poor decisions, or poor finishing when a ball does get in.

Also just like Vs Wolves too easy to run through our midfield like a hot knife through butter.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

That was decent from United. Where's all the negativity coming from?

More the fact that we should be ahead I guess

 

[laughtersassassin]

Onana has made some saves in the last two games that I'm not convinced De Gea would have made.

Seems an improvement in all aspects of goalkeeping so far

 

[Richter]

Get Martial on might as well use him when he is fit…

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

Garnacho isn’t a starter yet.

Yep but the Caf likes a favourite starting. He’s best coming from the bench.

It's just stupid rehashing. Keano has said it, we've been by far the better team. More or less double the amount of shots than the home side, and close to double the amount of touches in the opponents box, and yet people are just on auto-whinge

This is Spurs, not some backwater side

 

[Santoryo]

Having poor final delivery or finish also constitute as being poor. We're having a much better game than the Wolves one, so that's a positive.

 

[onemanarmy]

Caf being the Caf.

Wasnt the worst half that. Should have had a penalty, got lucky with the ball that hit the woodwork, Bruno should have scored.

 

[Idxomer]

The short passing from some of our players is shocking.

Bruno and Antony lead the way today as being the worst culprits.
