We’ve got to retain the ball better. Alli is far too sloppy as is Aruier

Spot on, cannot afford to start this half in the same manner we did the first half.

Neither team is passing fluently. We're matching them physically, but we don't have the pace to capitalise on the space they're giving us. Aurier isn't the speed merchant he was made out to be, and Sissoko seems reticent to go forward for some reason.
He's very good at both but DM is his position. Better there and doesnt get nearly enough credit. The amount of stick he gets there is thoroughly unwarranted and absolutely preposterous. Great DM, IMO.

Quick glance at Red Cafe and they aren’t happy. Come on Spurs they are there for the taking! I’d wait till 60 mins and replace Sissoko with Dembele. We are dominating midfield and can’t afford to give up our extra man.

Some of our passing is atrocious.

Stating the bleeding obvious, but nothing in it so far. The first 10 mins we couldn't get going, we then settled and had a composed, but fairly benign, spell, and then the last 10 mins has been a bit frenetic from both teams.
Think we could be a bit sharper with the ball we've had in the final third. The half opportunities we have had it's been a little wasteful. Either execution or not seeing a pass. That bit of quality is so far elusive...

We've been the better side but have nothing in and around the box.alli has been busy but has got to cut out the tricks and flicks in our own half.

Add Eriksen to this. Lost count of the amount of times he lost possession in the first 15 minutes.
Early stages of the second half is going to be interesting. I can see United ditching 5 at the back and trying to strengthen their midfield, hopefully it'll give us more space out wide.
