Great first half, Sanchez in the right spot in case Trips is too forward and Martial looked tired after 30 minutes making it easy for us. Dembele needs to be careful with his yellow and this crappy ref.

Very good. Need an early third and harry to find his left peg (but he has been excellent)

If there's to be another goal, we need to be the ones to get it.

Big up to Tripps for turning right up for this (nice early ball in/across for their own goal *cough*)

Amazeballs that Dier/Moose is actually functional today.

Great spirit about us; hope we can close this out and stick it up these ****s.

Goodness gracious me. That was outstanding. I love when we play like this. Front 4 outstanding, FB's excellent, holders doing well, no panicking at the back. Triffic.

Our Tottenham from the last two seasons is back.

We look like a hungry pack of white wolves hunting....always hungry.

Let’s just hope we continue, and don’t fall in the two different halfs syndrom

Funnily enough after the first 10 seconds the game has got better for us it's gone on.

United looked dangerous in the first 15 minutes, we still have to be careful here. At least Dier is having a decent game in midfield for once, although i've got no idea why United are giving him so much time on the ball.

I'm expecting changes from Utd at HT - Jose's not shy in making an example of players if they've had a half like that.

For us we need to stay focussed and not allow any space - press will inevitably drop but we'll still get joy on the counter. Play smart and we can get another here and see the game out because right now, Utd look a bit in disarray with a good few players (Lukaku, Pogba et al) not at the races.

Eric Dier was sensational that half. Winning the ball, using it wisely and creatively when needed and controlling the midfield with Moose.

I hope those people who like to bring out the diatribe against him after one mistake remember the games like this (of which there have been many) where he is excellent.

Real chance of Dembele walking if they get in top in midfield.

Ref was utterly attrocious, speaks volumes that we played utterly superb and yet he is the biggest talking point.

I don’t trust the officials in this league one bit, he has def come into this game with an agenda.

Frustrates me when people say “Alli is known for diving so that’s why he didn’t get the pen”

Ok, so why wasn’t he booked for diving? The ref knew it was a pen and didn’t fucking give it because he is afraid of Mourinho, cowards and completely pathetic.

Regardless of a players reputation for anything you should see the game as it is in the moment, like a PROFESSIONAL.

Well that's half the job done, makes such a difference when we play with such a relentless intensity - everything just seems to fall into place on the back of it.
