Match Threads Manchester United vs Spurs - Match Thread

[lol]

take out dier and put in sanchez, take out rose put davies. revert to a back 5 to support the attack is our best option

 

[Tonio]

I’d take Dier off at HT...he’s our weakest player atm.

No way...rose by a million miles our worst player imo

 

[Blue]

These points are there to be taken. Manu nothing special. If we just gear up a little we can win this.

 

[spids]

We have too many players out of form ... Rose, Eriksen, Kane. I'd consider matching them with 3 CBs and pushing our WBs on to engage them higher up the pitch.

 

[TwoSaintsComeMarching]

I've never seen Poch like this. I like it

 

[belsunz]

Eriksen non-existent most part of the first half and way too casual when not.

 

[cracker man]

Get Dier off. So immobile its untrue. Utd midfielders are too quick physically and also in thought. The game is passing him by.

 

[Timberwolf]

Something about the system ain't right and a lot of players are under performing. We look really vulnerable to their wing backs and a lot of great opportunities have been wasted by poor decision making or passes. Really frustrating half.

 

[markdadude]

Kane has wasted possession in some extremely good areas. Looks so incredibly slow. Eriksen had an awful first half. Geez.

If it weren't for moura they would be all over us, playing without fear of the counterattack

 

[MyNameIsNicolaBerti]

A lot of you seem tone watching a different game from me. I thought we improved as the game went on and if we keep it up we are more than capable of scraping a win.

 

[mrlilywhite]

Glad to put that first half behind us. We do it all the bloody time, don't we? Gave them the momentum by our sloppy first 10 mins. Alli needs to look up a bit more. encouraged by Moura, having a good game so far!

 

[Trix]

Poor first half Dier worst of the lot. Kane needs to play up front ffs

Stop f*cking drifting Harry!!!

 

[Phomesy]

Following the game on this match thread and it hasn’t failed to deliver.

Chris Sutton of a people reckon we’re growing into the game and have their defence under pressure. Any truth to this?

 

[Gbspurs]

I have mentioned it before but we rarely seem to play 2 halfs the same so i expect a much better performance in the 2nd half.

 

[shoggy33]

Can't wait until Eriksen remembers how to play football

 

[DFF]

Rose and Dier are sloppy and uninterested. Eriksen is hiding. Kane trying to do too much. Dele trying be a glory boy

 

[SdB]

We have been so one paced and flat footed.

Kanes been utter shit in all honesty

Virtually playing with 10 men when Kane plays now. His outfield play has been shocking for too many game snow.

At least Moura is making a nuisance of himself to the Man Utd defenders.

 

[Don_Felipe]

Lamela is injured of Amos replaced him on the bench.

Damn, wanted Lamela on to wind up Herrera

 

[danielneeds]

Would snap your arm off for a point all day long.

You expect these games to be tight and tense, but we're really struggling to get the ball down and play. United are getting in our faces, and several of our players just look off the pace - whether that be speed of thought or touch.

Also think our shape hasn't been great, either with or without the ball. Struggling to construct attacks under pressure and the man with the ball hasn't got options, without it United have overloaded us several times in several areas and that has to be a concern. That little spell towards the end where Vertonghen nearly scored an OG, the ball went 6 times - right, centre, left, back centre, right, then finished with luckily an airshot in the centre of the box where each time a United player gets the ball under no pressure as we scramble. That's concerning.

Both teams have had moments, both teams look like they can be got at, for a neutral this is probably a decent enough watch, but as a Spurs fan wish for a bit of composure and control.
