No point giving Jose any shit when our players perform like that.

They have seen off one top level manager, don't let them do it again.

That was such a shit team we just faced and they dominated us. It was absolutely embarrassing.
Nah. We were just shit, not embarrassing.

Brighton and Watford results were embarrassing.

Tonight shows how much work needs doing.

The word tonight was limited.

They are hit and miss. They upped their game, like they did against Liverpool.
They weren’t shit tonight, they harassed us relentlessly and countered well.

Really reminded me of CL Final. Just no fight or effort at all. Redlected in number of cards and fouls.

I think the biggest problem is still as it was under Poch. No one knows the best formations and starting XI
Very pleased that Jose has backed Dele and is playing him in his best position.
But all the calls for NDombele, Sess, lo celso. I genuinely don’t know where and how they fit?
Son needs to start so there’s three of the six but then how do we create a formation to maximise Son, Dele and Kane and then fit three more to add a core and some stability?

For me right now. We cannot keep playing Sissoko and should look to upgrade on aurier. Defensively both are a liability, not great on the ball and others could give more going forwards. Fed up with dumb penalties and a wide open right side.

Gonna be tough for Jose.

Im angry because tonight we should have made a statement...

That was a cowardly performance and even cowardly tactics.

How were the tactics cowardly?!?

We played 4 forwards away at united. The performance, yes, it was meek. The tactics were too bold if anything, surely!

Jose interview post match excellent. He knows we are coasting, he knows some of those players are not good enough. It will take the summer and beyond.

Clubs won't want to sell their big players in January, but i'm hoping we can do some good business next month.

Funny how poch and Jose have made a lot of similar decisions against the public domain maybe Pochettino wasn’t so bad?

Love Jose's honesty aswell. it was a simple case of United wanting it more. Moved the ball too slow, too predictable and yet again individual errors cost us.

however extremely concerned that jose has said there will be no signings this season :(

Look I was optimistic and hell i was super confident but you can put 10 forwards but if they werent used properly and they werent showing desire a bit of intent etc then thats not great is it.

Cowardly may be the wrong word, ill check the thesaurus, but not to go out there and show what we are describing you guys to be i.e. top class players then thats just frustrating.

Maybe frustrating is the right word a frustrating performance.
