Match ****Tottenham Hotspur V Man United Sunday 16th Feb 4:30 pm ****

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Danso has picked up a knock? Are these players made of paper mache? Run around a bit and then get injured, why does this keep happening??
He made that last ditch tackle. We shouldn’t have been in that situation. Can’t remember who lost the ball (again).

Not surprised Madders keeps getting knocks - he must be getting his ankles done a good 5-6 times a game with not a lot of protection from refs
 
Before the match I was inclined to think that the reason why Gray was sitting, instead of playing in midfield let's say, was fatigue. But then how come Kulusevski, a guy who has been playing nonstop since December, played the entire match once again?

What exactly is about Bentancur as the single pivot that he likes so much? Is Gray not actually a DM? Because Ange goes out of his way to avoid playing him there at this point. What's going on here?
Can’t compare Grey to Deki. We had no other RW option. Also whilst Grey looks like business he has not played an awful lot in midfield even in champo, so I think it will take time for him to get minutes there in the PL.
 
I don't disagree with Maddison and Bergvall being Subbed. But it is ridiculous subbing both at the same time. They both play makers. Having Sarr and Johnson come on at once killed our Midfield. Ange has no clue on game management. He decided his subs yesterday on training. He's always making subs at the same time and the subs he makes never makes complete sense.

Not that long before that we could not get the ball out of our half for 5+ mins.... and for sure we lacked their creativity after they went off but at least we got a little vir more control in MF
 
Glad to get the three points by keeping a clean sheet, think we just about deserved it.
Have to take my hat off to Djed Spence - yet another MOTM performance, he's unbelievable. I do wonder if he feels that he has to pass to Sonny, as I think that he could be even better.
I love Lucas too, he's non-stop and got a bit of a side to him, which we desperately need.
Kev looks very comfortable at the back, and Ben does his job quietly and effectively.
Vic made some important saves, good to see him back.
Deki and Sonny look shadows of themselves, the latter proving yet again he's not a 90 minute player anymore.
I'm holding fire on Tel, but can't say I was that impressed with I saw today.
Maddz did well considering he hasn't had much game time.
As I don't really watch any other team, unless they're playing against us, but was slightly surprised how crap Utd were, although they had a few chances and about 15/20 minutes in the second half when they were on top.
Now we're at the heady heights of top 12, how many more points do we need to be safe? ;)
All in all, a satisfying afternoon, topped off with a sing song in the Shelf Bar and prawn noodles from Noodle King before getting train home.
Enjoy your evening,
I noticed the passing to Sonny as well , this must be instructed by the gaffer , it’s a shame really as the majority of the time he would have been better off driving forward .
 
Quit the grandstanding

People are rightly pissed off about the season we are having

And a far from convincing win against a side that are a bigger mess than us ain't gonna change that

If you are happy then great for you

I thought we were poor but delighted we won. Haven’t seen us win a league game at home since October. So left the stadium really happy. But it was a bad game between two shit teams. They’re in more trouble than us though for sure
