6 touches of the ball (Jan trapped and then passed, everyone else was 1-touch) United never touched the ball, or even realized what was happening. DeGea standing there like a statute not sure how that happened!

I think this can use its own thread - I can watch this on a loop all day long:

:love:


I can't imagine what it must have been like in the stadium, and for people still trickling in (who I am sure will never admit that they missed the goal!)
I'd been sat down for 30 mins before the KO, the whistle goes, I put my coffee down, I look up and the balls going into the net. Everyone's on their feet and I'm like... The fuck just happened?

I was actually holding my breath for that the ref would blow for a restart, so much was how static the Manu players were!

Look at the replay. Eriksen knew exactly what Dele’s going to do in the next second. he ran into the spot and buried the goal into the net. what a beauty.

I had some slow ponderous fat bastard walking past me towards his seat so missed pretty much the whole thing apart from the ball hitting the back of the net. Had no idea how it got there but didn't really care to be honest.

I was ponderously walking past some bloke who wouldn't get his knees out the way so I saw the whole thing with a perfect view. It was brill. I told the grumpy git but he said he didn't really care to be honest. Some Spurs fans, hey?:cautious:

I can't tell from the replays - does Alli try and get a shot away and it's blocked which falls into Eriksen's path, or does he backheel it? I thought it was a shot that was blocked yesterday, but now looking at some of the replays in the first post I can't tell.

Love it when SC does that.

Well, if that doesn't encourage the team to try and start the game fast then nothing will ! :)

Dele is absolutely making a back pass to Eriksen.

Absolutely a back heel. Look at Eriksen racing to get into position.

Amazing listening to the co com who doesn’t recognise any of the move as training ground rehearsal.

Its funny listening to Mourinho talk about it after the match - he said they literally reviewed film with the players, and knew this is what Spurs liked to do on kickoffs, and yet still nobody reacted.

If you watch the video bit by bit (pausing it), you see that his movement is very clever

None of the defenders know he's there until it's too late

They really weren't at the races yesterday

Kane wins a header he probably shouldn't win, Alli is quickest to the knock-down and Eriksen basically sprints past a walking Matic

Just watched again for the 1000th time - and just now noticed Dier on the play acts as a blocker on Lingard who is running to close down Vertonghen. Teamwork.

WHAT!? Bullshit. I haven't seen them deliberately try something similar in a long time. He is so full of shite. "Yeah, I the manager knew this, but my team is shit".

Is that Owen Hargreaves doing the back-up commentary?

It was so slick that he genuinely couldn't believe any of it was deliberate. Says how lucky Eriksen was with the way the ball fell to him.

Keep believing it Owen. It's all you've got to cling to.

I can't get over the "expert" commentator saying it was a lucky bounce for Eriksen and that Alli was trying to get a shot off. Fuck off mate, it was a backheel all day long. Completely intended. Fuckwit.
