Man United Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[stevensthfc]

Sissoko is the most retarded player I've ever seen.

How hard is it to knock it round someone and run? This is the one thing you are good at!!! not this tip toe dancing nonsense.

You have zero skills so do what you are good at.

 

[Monkey boy]

Everyone and their wife knew that we'd bottle it today so why people in here are surprised I don't know?

Chance to go into the top 4, chance to bury mourinho and a shit Utd team was always going to end one way.

 

[Mighty Spurs]

Kane;s and Alli's worst performances to date.

 

[Gbspurs]

Sums up or attaching prowess when in the 94th minute when we have a corner taken by a LB that fails to enter the box, then an attempted cross by a CB which again fails to enter the box followed by another attempted cross by the earlier LB which again doesn't threaten the box.

Even Stoke can put the ball in the box in the dying moments!! G Nev saying Kane hasn't been his self but the service he received all game was woeful.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Me Levy really does need to get the shekels out in Jan and find us a player who can create in the final 3rd. It's clearly what we are missing and none of our players are stepping up.

 

[Damian99]

I can hack a loss if some fucking efforts gone in and we've had a good go at it, tested their keeper, worked their defence - cos you can take some positives from a defeat like that, but fucking hell that was simply turgid stuff.

 

[jolsnogross]

That was pure shite. I don't know wtf Poch thought he was watching but his inaction on the sideline spoke volumes. We're going nowhere fast this season with such meek attacking intent. Complete waste of 2hrs. Being out worked by ManU's shower was the unexpected thing, while the lack of any goal scoring threat is becoming all the more common against teams that sit back on us.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

But we did. If outright bullshitting helps you get over it, Fine, but don't inflict it on me please.

Harsh, not sure I can recall when we really looked like scoring over the 90 mins.

 

[Hawk_Spur]

Would love Pochettino to make a bold statement against Hull but I know full well that he won't.

Last season we were direct, this season the amount of backwards and sideways passing is next level. Very hard to watch.

 

[faze_coys]

But we did. If outright bullshitting helps you get over it, Fine, but don't inflict it on me please.

When? A couple of Eriksen free kicks that were easily dealt with. Open your eyes

 

[shelfmonkey]

Fuckin disgraceful excuse of a performance!! Some of those young lads need a long hard look in the mirror, their careers will wither away if they don't get it into their heads the need to keep working hard to improve, all i see at the moment is a bunch of kids with too much money and not enough passion for football!!!

 

[maltahotspur]

And MoPo will say....................''We have to learn from this, keep fighting, move forward for the future''.

 

[the watson]

What frustrates me the most about the Kane and Alli performances is how and why they played a full 90.

9 vs 11 out there today.

 

[DiamondLites]

Wanyama and Alli need to be dropped, for different reasons - I'm sick of Alli's pissing away possession and just playing for flicks and winning free kicks and Wanyama slows our play down to a snails pace even if he has played individually quite well, he hampers our team performance IMO

We need Lamela back ASAP he is the one player than can create an opportunity and isn't scared to take risks

 

[shelfboy68]

We really are an average side I have to admit. Going forward we are just devoid of any ideas, Eriksen and Son were poor today and Dele Alli is having a taste of second season syndrome.

We will finish fifth or sixth, and that's about it really, we are not of the quality to be challenging the top 4 unfortunately.

Agree I actually think utd will finish above us as well.

 

[Tom Pops]

And MoPo will say....................''We have to learn from this, keep fighting, move forward for the future''.

What a monster!!!

 

[Oscar22]

One of the main issues I think is pace, Son, Alli, Eriksen are all decent players in different ways (not on today's showings obviously) but none of them are particularly quick. I know Lamela is a bit speedier but I think we miss that pure pace for counter attacks and for late on in games. A bit like what Aaron leenon used to give us (of course I'm not saying let's buy Aaron Lennon back!).

I just feel our attack is one dimensional. Which means on days like today (and quite often this season especially) we end creating the square root of sod all other than the odd set piece. We seem to buy players based on their work rate and in the hope they can create. I wouldn't mind us having a player who is known solely for their chance creation and less so as someone who will run about putting the tackles in and pressing as well. I think sometimes we have room for a lazier player but who is much more likely, especially later on in games to just give us one clear cut opportunity.

 

[2bearis2do]

The attack needs a big re think, whatever the plan is, it's not working.

Enough of Eriksen, Son and Alli together. They can't keep possession, they can't create chances and they play safe more often than not.

Dembele and Wanyama isn't the answer in midfield. Dier doesn't improve this because none of them move the ball quickly enough.

Be brave and give Winks and GKN a run in the team.

Last season is in the past, what worked then isn't working now, we need to adapt fast.

Absolutely one hundred percent the truth chap.
Please print this and send it to MoPo and team.
Every point is spot on.

Worst thing is - We've become boring, we really create very little and every game feels very predictable, especially against the "big" clubs - there does not seem to be the belief we had last season. MoPo needs to see this and shake it up big time.

 

[glacierSpurs]

I think this as well, have thought it for weeks but we won't see anything change, Dier just based on his performances last season at least deserves a chance to prove himself in there against Wanyama but alas, Wanyama is undroppable.

I knew you had, and have mostly agree with your points.. Wanyama is a DM but tends to drift further forward than anyone else.. Ok, abit overstatement, but ya get what I meant.. He is occupying spaces that is just not allowing our passes to work like how we did last season.. Can he for once just stay back just in front of our CBs, so whoever partners him can go to their intended spaces instead of him!

 

[yusrisafri]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Winks needs to start in place of Alli, and Dembele to push up as no 10. Why the fcuk is Poch not dropping Alli?????
