Match Threads Man Utd vs Spurs

[GetKaned]

Brennan reminds me of Aaron Lennon lol

He reminds me of me when I accidentally shat my shorts.

 

[King of the Lane]

Skipp made the pass of the game to Werner.

And thats about all he has done. I fully support him but he doesnt fit this system imo.

 

[StockSpur]

just wish we had our 2nd string defence back..

 

[THFC_SWE]

I'm not saying Skipp is that bad (nice pass to Werner), but is he better in that attacking role than Donley would be? Donley got the instincts to create chances, even if its a step up from PL2. At least give it a shot. Even if Donley had a mediocre game, I actually don't think our midfield would look worse in terms of creativity.

Lennon atleast used his pace to take on players, Brennan just pass it back. Hee needs to run at Bisaka!

Lennon was a lot more direct and had a lot more end product.

 

[Hazelton]

Put Porro into midfield and get Emerson on against Rashford.

 

[FloridaSpur]

We are creamed over peak trent and we are now sort of getting that with Porro but I wouldn't change him for anyone

Porro isn't the issue with this team selection.

Skipp made the pass of the game to Werner.

One pass into space which any PL CM should be able to hit on the half volley. It was a good pass and he’s done ok today but he’s still a huge step down on Bissouma & Sarr.

 

[smallsnc]

Really missing Sarr's cover.

 

[DiscoD1882]

johnson has been so disappointing we really need him to set up, that's what 40+ million signings should do

He’s got to take on his man. He’s on a yellow

 

[coys63]

He’s literally had about 5/6 passes to him where he’s had one player in front of him to take on and he’s passed it backwards. Are you blind? I know it’s his first game but he needs to show up a bit more.

I think he's done ok given the amount of game time he's had this season and only 1 week at the club

 

[Oscar22]

Naff defending has cost us, we’ve been sloppy at the back, rusty perhaps the best word.

I think Timo has done alright actually, clearly lacks confidence and he’ll have to get used to the jeers when he puts a shot over the bar, but you can see how his pace can stretch teams and get us in.

The midfield, well, the midfield is what you would expect given it’s set up with injuries and absences. Neither Skipp nor Hojbjerg have been bad for me, they just don’t suit the way we play. Especially Skipp being asked to play higher up, it’s like asking a fish to climb a tree - just not built to do that job.

What I would say, that I haven’t seen much mention of is Richy having a good game overall, got another goal but he’s also won the ball back, made some important clearances and been busy and pressed well.

 

[ajspurs]

We've controlled the game well.

Think weve been unlucky tbh

We've played how I think we'd play with the midfield we have, so I can't say I'm too annoyed or anything.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

With 12 outfield players missing and others likely playing through minor illness, I can’t complain too much at that first half.

Just bloody annoying that Hojlund and Rashford has magically found their scoring form against us.

saying he has down okay is very generous, he looks like a lost puppy out there

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Put Porro into midfield and get Emerson on against Rashford.

Hmm that could be a really really good idea actually. Wonder if Ange will go for it.

 

[djhotspur]

They've taken their chances. We haven't. Long way to go.

Yup. Give hojlund that chance 20 times he scores it once.

 

[tubbygold]

Was this checked by VAR?

Doubt it. That’s nasty.

 

[RuskyM]

Skipp made the pass of the game to Werner.

Have you considered that people don't want to count that as it doesn't help their points?
