Match Threads Spurs vs Man United - Match Thread

[Spence167]

Good goal but fuck me Neville and Tyler are blowing United's performance out of proportion

What’s new? They both talk shite most of the time anyway.

 

[roslau]

Its trippier again. he's still playing in spurs shirt is an enigma

 

[yankspurs]

Trippier needs to be sold. Immediately. Too much of an ego and too shit of a player.

 

[Gareth88]

Trippier can go fuck off just pass it forward, why are you trying to play safe, fucking headless under pressure it seems

 

[HildoSpur]

Tripper is nowhere near good enough and had been woeful this season. Huge blow to lose Sissoko. Massive 45 mins coming up.

 

[spids]

again against there pace why are we playing our slowest back four out of the whole squad, we have looked like a team that believes they ain't good enough, no ambition with the ball, everyone wants to play safe square and backward passes. shows how weak our squad is when we don't have a centre mid on the bench the manager trusts to come on. our squad depth is a joke[/QUOTE]

That's unfair, we have 3 CMs out injured and 1 just limped off injured. Not sure how many teams would cope with 4 CMs missing. Take Pogba, Matic, Hererra and Fred out of the United squad and what would they have?

 

[Garbob]

Toby has been pretty good I reckon but trips is just fucking awful

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Playing a high line with slow cd and full backs is suicidal against fast forwards. If utd know what they are doing they could tear us apart second half.

 

[JayB]

Our midfield situation has nothing to do with luck. Everyone knew in the summer that Wanyama and Dembele were crocked, but we went into the season with three central midfielders anyway.

One of them got injured and we then had to play the other two in every single fucking match aside from an early round cup tie. Now one of the remaining two has, unsurprisingly, picked up a muscle injury.

It's the unimaginably inept recruitment setup -- not luck -- that is to blame.

 

[slartibartfast]

Can't say that it wasn't coming.

I can. Theyve done absolutely fuck all and Lloris hasn't had a save to make. It was a gift, as usual.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Looks to me Eriksen is sorting his contract kind of play..

Dele must hold the CM position.. No way is Lamela gonna drop so deep to play defensively.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Trippier is not a right back, can’t play out of the back, defensive liability, he’s holding us back.

[ebzrascal]

It was a great finish. Lloris had to back pedal and rule number one is protect your near post, which is what he did.

Give me a break he always gets beaten with shots like that

 

[Paolo10]

He misplaced a pass before a great ball from Pogba.

Start building the gallows sure lads.

Haul him off at half time, sack him, burn him etc.

 

[bern]

No we wont

Yes we wont.

 

[Johnny J]

They've sat off us all game and given us tons of space we haven't exploited, in part because of our limited full backs. We've matched them one for one at the back, and lo and behold when we make a stupid mistake they are in on goal and score.

 

[n0.1.spurs]

Would stick Sanchez on to deal with the pace at the back.

 

[thinktank]

Can we please start playing KWP instead of Trippier, who keeps giving up goals?

What defensive history of KWP are you basing that on, though?

The only reason you're suggesting it is because the situation is desperate re. FBs.

Poch/Levy really needs to begin the process of replacement over the next two summer windows.

 

[shelfmonkey]

Can't understand why Poch is playing our two slowest fullbacks in a four against a team like Man Ure!!!

 

[Deleted member 27995]

I thought we lacked ideas from those you'd hope to get us ticking up top. Eriksen is MIA second game in a row.

The mistake at the end has cost us dearly, everyone has made a fair point, but outside of that it wasn't much of a spectacle, we've given them what they wanted away from home.

We ground a result out during the week, going to have to do it again here.
