Match Man Utd (A)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I do think Kane has to have a look at himself tonight. I really do.

The most obvious issue was how the top 3 did not rotate very much ( if at all ) Kane, Son and Lucas should be switching positions much much more.


Christ I am so pissed off.



Kane has never had to look at himself at this club.

Not a problem for a team that never wins anything.
 
Dele needs to be high up, it’s his best position, and what got us the goal. The problem is we had 2 centre mids both incapable of controlling the midfield. 3 man midfield would have been better, with Dier actually protecting the defence, Ndombele and Winks ahead of him.
...and the what happens with Dele with this proposed 3 man MF of Dier, Ndom and Winks?
 
Aurier's crossing/shooting was crap tonight after being good recently. Son has been poor for 3 matches now. Players still look tired and some have played a lot recently. We need to win Saturday but can rest players in Munich. We need more energy in midfield and Saturday looks a good match to try out Skipp again instead of bringing Dier back as Winks will probably be out. Noticed on main website Skipp is showing in under 23's and not sure if that was the case earlier in season. He has not figured in teams but Burnley could just be the match for him.
Despite our display we conceded from a GK error and soft penalty. Could have nicked it if one of our flair players had done a Dele.
 
Looked to me like we may have played long due to Lindelof starting.

Mourinho very publicly destroyed him as a pundit and basically called him shit in the air.
 
Son was also unusually bad, but there were none of the passes that allowed him to charge down the left touch line like he’s done in the Mourinho games so far.

Vertonghen, instead, played much higher, which was a bit weird.
 
Absolutely disappointed. Shit game all around. That Man U team is a joke. More upset about the performance than the loss. No heart at all tonight. No urgency until 5 min left. Thought the official was awful. Should have been at least 6 or 7 min of stoppage time. Penalty was soft.

That said let’s not have a meltdown just yet. We’re 3-1 under Jose. He got it wrong tonight it’ll happen. We’ve been on a high and just crashed off a 2 week bing, Cocains a hell of a drug. This was a BIG game and we did not show up. But if we can bounce back and win the next few all Is good.
 
What worries me the most is we look to bring on Eriksen when we are void of ideas, also a midfield of sissoko and winks will never work, I never want to see that again please! Why not try Ndombele and GLC
 
Dreadful today but fair to say Utd overperformed. I think Solskjaer said it's the best they've played in a long time.

On the other hand disappointing that Mourinho couldn't see a way to change things when clearly it wasn't working. He just doesn't seem to have a lot of trust in Ndombele & Lo Celso yet.
 
We have started every single game under jose very very poorly. Same as we were doing under pochettino. I really hope he fucking gets amongst them. No one came out of tonight well. Fuck it, I would play son up top vs Burnley and let kane stew on the bench. He is playing like someone who knows he will be picked every single game. And if the other players see the star man is not untouchable youd expect a proper reaction.

So pissed off tonight. This is the worst utd team of a generation and we played like we did vs colchester. Even dier who I cannot stand has played better than winks did tonight. We made rashford look like mbappe.

Best see a reaction vs Burnley. Ndombele must start.
