Man United Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[For the love of Spurs]

Felt a bit AVB for me that game.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Word of the day to describe all aspects of our game: Weak.

My word started with "w" and ended with "k" too

 

[Lighty64]

every time we play at OT it's always a sloppy pass that kills us off, but the end result = we got the amount of points we deserved 0.

so many people on here saying we have a better squad, yet they looked dangerous every time they attacked us, we only looked dangerous from set pieces

 

[Mullers]

All the little digs in the Poch thread people made after the results of the CSKA and Swansea games, not looking so funny after our performance today is it really?

We have looked average in comparison to United and this is a United team who have been regressing, not improving.

They beat City and have drawn with Arsenal and Liverpool.

We lost in the league for the 2nd time this season still 3 points behind city in 4th place, I'll take that.

There is no synergy.

We set out as if defence, midfield and attack are three separate entities.

 

[benaudere]

What a monster!!!

I think Poch will certainly have to move forward for his own future.

 

[SugarRay]

Where we are in the league is our place anything else is a bonus we just don't have the tools or belief to beat the top sides around us an age old problem.
I'm amazed that a few on here think we can win the league with Chelsea 10 points in front we have no chance of any of that until we bring better quality in, but for now this is as good as we can be imo.

I have to admit, I believed we had the best 'back 7' and striker in the league. I now think we have the best back 5 and striker in the league.

It's been sobering watching the 2 in front of our defence and the 3 behind Kane this season.
Snodgrass and Zaha would probably improve our attack. We are so far off the likes of Hazard and Ozil it's scary.

Read that the game started at 14:15, thought it was local time here in Brazil. Completely missed the game. Gutted to lose as I felt they were there for the taking. Sounds like Jose has done a number on us?

What were we lacking today? And what happened for their goal?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

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

What? A Wanayama free header in the middle of the goal. Open yours.

Open my eyes? How about you Open yours and resist infecting the place with outright and blatantly incorrect kneejerk bollocks?

We were poor enough, you don't have to lie to illustrate it.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Both sides are a million miles from being a top four side, and as for us we have zero goals and pace in a midfield full of mediocre players.

What would that 50 million wasted on Janssen and Sissoko have really briught us i don't know, but is one experienced quality proven winner too much to exoect?

 

[Lifeson]

Apart from scoring more goals than anyone bar City last season you mean..

The whole league was crap last year. Leicester city won it for christ sake. Just look at Arsenal or Liverpool, we are nowhere near them in terms of play in and around the box.

 

[Hazardousman]

Man Utd: Please help me. It's nearly been three months since I last won a league match at home. West Ham, Burnley, Stoke, I've dropped points to them all. This is my longest winless run of home league matches for 26 years.

Spurs: Calm down. Dr Tottenham will see you now.

90 minutes later.

Another patient cured by Dr Tottenham! If you have a goalkeeper who couldn't catch a cold or a striker who can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo there is only one call to make - Dr Tottenham.

Speaks volumes for our mentality doesn't it?

We have regressed, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind about that after today's performance, it's not that we lost, it's that we looked completely clueless for 90 mins against a team who are underperforming, especially in the defensive areas.

Poch is being stubborn and it's hurting us and the last bloke who was stubborn was AVB and look what happened there.

I am going to voice an unpopular opinion now and say I don't think Poch will be here this time next season unless we start showing some progress again in our performances and some consistency.

Like I said, it's not about individual results, it's about performances as a whole, over the course of this season we have shown large regression from last season, the unbeaten run and the result against Swansea and against CSKA has papered over the cracks, the one result that has stood out this season is the match against City, that was the only time we looked like Spurs of last season over the course of 90 mins.

My word started with "w" and ended with "k" too

I like cooking with woks too.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

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

Wanayama's outrageous miss.

 

[Danny1]

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

They have a lot better players going forward than we do, Pogba, Mik and Martial would all walk into our team.

 

[kaz Hirai]

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.

No chance

Poch blew 70 million on players we don't need/aren't good enough for an at the time CL team

 

[THFCWHL82]

I blamed our shit shirt design!!! it is what make us woeful not coincidence it FACT!!!!!

 

[Damian99]

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

Woah, are they up next? Bet the likes of Eriksen and co will be creaming at the thought.

 

[StevePil]

We have regressed so far this year its scary, not sure why but badly fallen behind

Top 4 - no chance this year, the teams in the top 4 at moment will be there, we will be 6th behind Man U, so lets hope we go and try and win the EL or FA Cup, get some pride in this team as I'm actually getting bored of watching us week in now, it reminds me of the 90s.

The after match interviews will be the same old shit too.

6 points from next 2 games are critical or Poch is under pressure, not that Levy will sack him as he is his puppet but the fans will get more angry if we drop any points in the next 2 games!

Belief. Workrate. Cohesion. Creativity. In-game management. Tactics.
