Man Utd vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[ItsBoris]

Maybe we really are the Harry Kane team.

Yeah we're missing our best player who happens to be one of the best strikers in the world so of course it's more difficult, but that doesn't make us a one man team - we still have other quality players.

 

[ljinko888]

Bit unfair that. Against the very best sides we have little to offer when Harry is out.

Harry Kane wouldn't stop our defence being all over the place in this half

 

[Damian99]

We just never are good enough. We don't have any clue without Kane. It was proven last season eeking out draws with Janssen and has been proven again. Pep was right tbh.

I wouldn't go that far, we had to spells with out Kane last season and finished 2nd - Not sure any other team could have coped like that without their main goal threat. We still lack a belief in games like these imo Chelsea and now this game are two games i can think of where we seem to still feel inferior to them.

The goal also starts at the other end. Too slow to play the ball through, play it early and Aurier is on and we score, shouldn't get caught offside, then fall asleep on the resulting free kick.

 

[WiganSpur]

We truly are the Harry Kane team.

Nothing Kane can do about dodgy defending

 

[yankspurs]

I think Madrid may teach us a lesson Wednesday

We're gonna get utterly embarrased on Wednesday.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Toothless without Kane. May as well throw GKN on as we won’t score in a month of Sunday’s with this lot

 

[Garbob]

As far as I'm concerned FA Cup is number one top priority this season.

WE will sack that off too

 

[thinktank]

We are a better team than manure but they have shown more aggression and desire.

Big error when Davies played that suicide ball across the box. He made up for it, but manure smelt blood after that and it gave them an extra shot of adrenalin.

Not addressing Martial coming on by bringing on Sanchez - error.

Taking son of before the game opened up - as it inevitably would - to give him acres of space to run at them in - error.

This game at this level will forever be about the margins.

 

[Streetspur77]

some of this knee jerk is fucking hilarious

 

[paulcumpstone]

Difference is the subs.they have goals on the bench.poch avoids flair players in favour of shite like sissoko who technically arent good enough in the big games.

 

[DiamondLites]

The problem hasn't been no Kane (although that hasn't helped) it's been the non-performance of Eriksen, Sissoko and Dele

 

[Sarsipius]

We seem to have problems with simple headers

 

[yankspurs]

I miss Kane and Lamela.

 

[Lifeson]

This is the sort of game where Lamela would come on and slide someone through 1 on 1.

 

[Setzthree]

jesse lolgard

 

[Marty]

Thank fuck that was Lingard and not someone, you know, actually good.

 

[nightgoat]

3 minutes. If the score is 0-1 that's 5.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

On today's evidence pep was spot on.

Against the very best i'd have to agree. Chel$ea and now Yanited have shown us up in some areas of the pitch to not quite have that little bit of quality needed.

 

[WexfordTownSpur]

We played well for 80 minuets but let’s face it we were always playing for a draw and were never going to score.
