You do realise that United had a load of rusty players too, right?I'm actually rather optimistic.
Thought we were much more tactically in tune today and I think had we had Lo Celso from the start and Lucas/Alli as well as a sharper Kane / Son we'd have won that.
You can see the plan, defend your zones, drop when we lose the ball to deny the space and get that middle block in as quickly as possible.
In possession, I could definitely see a better pattern of play and movement. The problem was certain players were so rusty with the ball, that it broke down to early but there was numerous occasions in which we made three of four incisive passes only for the key pass to be over hit or the player making it have a bad first touch.
It's coming. Although I expect us to be more offensive against West Ham
