Match Man Utd (A)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

absolutely shit performance against a mid table side of youngsters who just basically tried much harder than us....I cant believe the quality of passing was so pathetic....son and kane non existent...can never field a midfield of winks and sisokko ever, they were absolutely clueless.....jose honeymoon over and reality hits. more like the spurs we are used to this season.
 
It must be a nightmare playing along side Aurier. Sissoko spent more time covering the right back position than playing cm. In any case Sissoko should not be playing as our defensive midfielder.

That was terrible, but it shows how shit United are that they could only win 2-1 against that absolute shit show.

I am fucking fuming.

Aurier is basically an average winger. He looks good against really bad teams because he doesn't have to defend. Any half decent opposition exposes him.
 
I don't mind the loss but what I do mind is the lack of urgency until the last five minutes which seems to happen far too frequently to our lot. They did a bit of a job on us defensively after the pen but with the amount of attacking talent in our squad is that really all we can conjure up? Really unimpressed with our lack of desire to win the game tonight. At 2-1 down we need to be prepared to lose 3-1 in going for it.

Winks, Eriksen, Sissoko, Son, Kane all of them had a really flat, nothing game. We needed and expect better in such a crunch game. No balls tonight at all against a really awful Man U team.
 
Well that was shit. Pretty dreadful performance all round and we made them look very decent. Awful all over the park. Not one period of sustained pressure. Anonymous showings all over the place. Absolutely terrible. HT gave us a huge chance to build after their failure to capitalise on almost complete domination. But we came out sloppy again. Off the pace everywhere. Big fucking missed opportunity.

Mourinho has already come out and said Aurier has to be offensive. He doesn’t want him to defend. He’s doing what his manager wants him to do.

Whether he’s good enough is a different point.
 
Aurier the only one who played well out of the back four. Dav couldn't hit a pass to save his life, Vertonghen had too many difficulties against the pace of James and Toby was just meh. How Winks and Sissoko got outplayed by Jesse fucking Lingard, Fred and McTominay is beyond me. Son did well, Dele was great once again, Lucas showed why he wasn't started by Poch and Harry was just invisible. Eriksen tried something, Ndombele time is running out to settle in the Premier League, he has talent but the League is just too fast paced and physical for him. Lo Celso is amazing. Jose has to go back to the drawing board after this one. Definetely a wake up call. Up the fucking Spurs!
