Match Threads Spurs vs Manchester United - Match Thread - Day 30

[Phil-spur99]

fuck it. I'm going for a run

Show off

Decent result, happy with a point.

People are forgetting pre lockdown:

Utd in the form of their lives
Spurs is the worst form for years and the squad was injury ravaged.

Now, we’ve got players back some of them haven’t played for 6 months and/or have had serious injuries (Kane, Sissoko, Bergwijn, Son).

Other than Southampton no one has got out of 1st gear so far.

W Ham will be the test to see if we’ve improved and how far we can go this season.

We’ll beat West Ham.

I thought Dier had a good game until the penalty but overall we were disciplined but lacked any invention. Played like an underdog playing away. Not the type of football I want to see from my club, especially at home.

 

[yojambo]

Dier has let himself down there. Played well apart from gifting them a pen.

 

[lis spur]

Sissoko ,Dier (soft pen)and Lloris had good games ,looked like a game for fitness alone for Kane ,but he should at least be able to hold the ball up.

Europa League it is next season..... if that... Can’t even beat this shit United team at home....

Honestly what’s Mourinho problem with Ndombele?? He would’ve done much better than Winks in the last 30 minutes. And Gedson on the wing instead of Sessegnon??

This shit united team are in a champions league spot, and we only lost the three points on a penalty, what exactly are you talking about?

 

[ClintEastwould]

Gedson coming on over Ndombele cost us this win change my mind

 

[The Apprentice]

It’s hard not to watch Winks/Sissoko trundling around and really crave for Modric/Dembele

 

[lincspurs]

Imagine we had bruno instead of gedson

Don’t get Gedson at all. Haven’t seen anything from him to justify him getting game time.

 

[spids]

I thought apart from the penalty Dier was very good. Our best defender. Our problem is at RB and DCM.

 

[mrlilywhite]

We’ve a very long way to go to turn this team around now, best to prepare for a good 3-4 years of turbulence and misery.

Been there done that and worn the T-shirt, so well accustomed to it

 

[Marty]

Can we never pick dier over Toby at the back again. Ever. Please.

Dier was playing his best game in two years before the penalty.

Toby over Sanchez would be my first change in the back line.

First half was Mourinho when it goes well. Second half was Mourinho when it doesn't.

Bizarre calls not to take Kane off and bring on any of our three remaining subs (notably Ndombele), but strangely we would have got three points if it weren't for a soft penalty. Fine margains.

Still in hunt for 5th place - just about.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Always conceded when Lamela was subbed.

 

[Phomesy]

Oh well the heart rate is up so I've had an emotional reaction to that.

But most of it is because of one of the most disgraceful refereeing performances in ages. Moss got every major call wrong; multiple times he called corners that were ours as goal kicks - even over-ruling linemen in better positions. Blocking Winks off and playing on was just... you know shit happens I guess.

Rewarded the United players time and again for flopping. Topped it off with a very soft penalty and an utterly disgraceful dive that had to be over-turned by VAR - AND STILL NO CARD.

Probably the right result on general play but still... Outrageous officiating. Mourinho has every right this time to tee off and I hope he does.


We looked organised, which was nice but we still look like we lack class. Lo Celso helped at the end but we desperately need Ndombele to become the player he could be. And fast.

 

[JimmyG2]

Phew. Just phew.

 

[KeithStone]

Frustrating overall, shame we didn't have any attacking options on the bench as we clearly needed them.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

I thought we were really good. Weak links were Son and Kane, which to be fair is completely understandable.

Only downside was...Ndombele... Weird.

 

[SE Spurs]

Needed to win that, point ain't good enough. And we're not good enough to concede that much possession and keep clean sheets. The pen was fucking weak though.

 

[handsomecake]

Pretty clear we need to upgrade that cm position big time for walked through so many times not picking up any balls edge of our box shocking

Sissoko is all perspiration without any inspiration and winks is 5/10 at everything.
