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

[Phomesy]

I'm enjoying watching Man Utd TV on Sky Sports right now, can anyone tell me the number of the channel where I can hear the Tottenham side of things?

This whole "Pogba destroyed him" without mentioning there's little contact at all is ridiculous. Fucks's sake - you don't get a pen because you've done a nice skill move - you get a penalty for a foul.

Fucking hell

tbf, what exactly is he meant to do. I've always had issues with this logic, the ball wasn't played to him. Did alright with what he was given.

His positioning was not even good for many games this season, wide players couldn't pass to him. He wasn't so participative in the attack like he used to. And amongst the four attackers in the first half, his effort was the least IMO..

Regarding aurier he nearly cost us two goals poor performance

Why do you think poor performance - when he got the ball - what do you think he should have done give that our entire 11 was camped in our 18 yard box

Wtf were you's watching Sissoko & Winks especially were magnificent in ground they covered & anyone that can't see that has no idea what their watching.. The wingers got tired & that's where gaps opened up because they had more ground to make up.. Sissoko we no isn't good on ball but he done brilliantly defensively.. Winks was excellent.. Jonathan Moss should of retired years ago absolute cuck..

You taking the piss mate ! Sky literally just highlighted winks for being so poor for the pen we conceded ! We were letting them walk through the middle the whole game brutal

Kane will be injured within the next three games. We never learn and will run him into the ground until he gets that fatigued his body will collapse.

All they've done is talk about pogba. The fuck is this shit?

The Man United show?
Glad we are not playing Liverpool again this season too for this reason

 

[UncleBuck]

I keep forgetting that it was a Man U first X1 versus a Man U second X1 going on the commentary...

This is pretty disgraceful bias.

 

[Timberwolf]

First half good. Second half bad.

I thought it was pretty suicidal to just sit deep and defend when Utd were pressing hard. Dier and Sanchez were both excellent for the most part but the goal was clearly coming and we desperately needed to change things up.

Gedson on the wing wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

I mean if our stratagy was to try and match them in midfield and attack I would agree. But it wasn't, it was clearly we will give you possesion, you try and break us down. In the end they had only one significant chance, and a soft penalty. That is how mourinho plays like it or not. It's hard to criticise the performance when the plan was to take the pressure. The plan might have been a wrong one, but it actually almost worked, and, more importantly we look so much better defensively than before the break. Incomparably really. Offensively we have a lot of work to do.

I felt we werent too solid at the back. We were basically riding our fuvking luck. Clearances and 2nd balls straight to united, some good saves by Hugo, in the end another two free hits on our goal.

And why set up like this? With zero intent to attack? Look at the fucking ballers we thought we have in our squad. You can play this kind of football with Troy Deeney instead of Kane it would not matter.

This might be the worst post I've ever seen on this forum.

Shaun is a bit of a troll. Not saying that in a nasty way, but he's not to be taken too seriously.

 

[DiscoD1882]

Don't think a point is disastrous BUT

Compare that to our 3-0 win over them in the final game at the Lane when we were rampant.

It was 2-1. But ok.

That’s the thing I really haven’t missed. It’s so transparent it’s nauseating.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

I think we have the right to question Mourinho's Pochettino-esque reticence with the bench.

Man U made 5 subs, and were fresh at the end. We were knackered. Playing well, but knackered, you could feel a mistake coming a mile off. Suggests Mourinho really doesnt value the squad, which contradicts the PR nonsense we hear coming out at press conferences.

 

[C0YS]

There was a point in the 2nd half were we had 3 on 2 on the half way line but Kane’s legs had gone. Had it been Son and Bergwijn through the middle they would have been away.

Once Bergwijn went off we lost both our balance and were reliant on using an ever tiring Son as our only outlet. We either needed to pack the central midfield and our Son through the middle or push Lamela up top and bring on another central midfielder or keep the balance by throwing Sessegnon on to keep pace on both wings.

We kind of did try to pack the central midfield. We took out two attacking players and replaced them with two midfielders, and rewatch the game if you want, but it did stop the barrage of attacks. The move was all about trying to regain a bit of control, I think Jose had pretty much given up on trying to look for another goal. That is his style, and it has been successful in the past. Today we looked like a Mourinho team, and it's not many times that has been the case.

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

You really are clueless

Let’s ignore his tracking and covering for the pen ??

 

[Phomesy]

Not a dive according to Keane?


Sky presenter - "right to overturn it?" REALLY YOU FUCKING THINK?!

FFS

 

[DannyNZ]

Why does Mourinho set us up every game like we are Burnley playing away to Barcelona, his negative tactics invited that equaliser

Totally disagree, we win that match if not for one brain dead piece of defending. United didn’t create an equaliser they were gifted it.

 

[stormfly]

Are people really trying to argue it wasn’t a pen? Lol.

No argument, it was never a pen

 

[holsten777]

Genuinely think Ndombele has all the talent of Pogba.

But Mourinho hates him.

It pisses me off so much.

He is more talented, but from what I've seen his application and been piss poor. I really hope he's turned a corner, but if he hasn't he shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11.
