Really poor first half. If you're gonna play Winks and Sissoko they need to be available to pass to at all times. They haven't done that at all. For me Moura is obsolete when Sissoko is on. He spends all his time on the left anyway helping his mate Aurier. Gives us three players spending vast lengths of time of the left. We would be better off with NDombele out there imo instead of Moura,

Cue Moura goal!!

Moura's so infuraiting to watch, has moments of brilliance but in the most part, offers absolutely nothing in general play.

They're just walking through our midfield so easily, give it to Rashford and we shit ourselves. We get the ball, no options for the ball carrier hoof it up field lose possession and when there are options we just give the ball away cheaply. They've been very impressive but we've been equally shit, awful performance! C'mon boys pull your fingers out...2-3!

Absolutely no options through midfield....

How many times have our defenders had the ball looking for an option and had to go backwards or hoof it into space as a nothing ball...

Love winks but he offered nothing.... Sissoko... nothing.

Tell me now a midfielder of Bruno Hernandes isnt necessary especially when ratbacon boy leaves.

I can only figure from his subs that our cunt recognises this as he has given them both the hook now.

Bit of a shit or bust decision at 85 mins though...

Also credit where it's due, they are well organized without the ball. 2 decent early banks of 4 and harrying the ball carrier..... where as we ain't.

Yeah agree mate, they've been very good and worked so hard without the ball but our passing and lack of movement has made us so easy to play against. Same old story with us, we've relied so heavily on Eriksen opening up defences over the years, with him now not the player he was, we just look short on ideas in the majority of the games we play.

It's just really fucking annoying mate, coz i was desperately hoping for a really good performance tonight.

During this whole year, ever since, Burnley away i think it was, (which for me was when the rot really started to kick in),i haven't felt confident going into a game at all, other than the odd 45 mins here and there and obviously the cl, but i was just starting to think yeah here we go, players are getting their mojo back, we're starting look lively again and then we throw in that performance, i appreciate they were very good but the lack of intensity up front, very little will to make runs, not even gonna mention the passing and how bloody scared our whole defence can get at the sight of one player running at them, our confidence just seems so brittle and it just shows, we're so far off where we were before the Burnley game. The drop off's been incredible, just can't seem to get a proper run going, or for that matter, put in some really strong consistent 90 minute performances. There are seeds of 'Proper Spursy' starting to spout!! 🙈

Maybe that's what we're back to for the time being until we build a new side (and that's honestly what I think is necessary and that takes years which means all the decent lads could easily be gone).

Maybe it's some performances where we look ok offset against some where we clearly fucking dont.

It does seem a bit Spursy at the minute but as 'our cunt' has just said he hasnt had time to work on anything other than a few principles as there isnt the time between games...

Even the international breaks are fucking useless as all.our players are deployed.

The deficiencies are clearly there to see and they are not imo quick fixes.

We've got players 100% leaving and some that have already seemingly checked out.

Some I think will seriously consider their options which could decimate our side.

Is 'our cunt' the man to build a new dynasty.... he doesn't have a history of doing that does he, especially on a shoestring budget that Levy will give him.

I want to be positive about the side but I believe I'll be shitting the bed before reaching for the Kleenex with 'our cunt' at the helm.

I am willing to be proved wrong and have my fork ready for the humble pie. Not expecting to need it though.

That was insipid. United were good, but they were allowed to do as they liked.

There is nothing more that I can say about it.

We played badly against a team at home playing for their lives - Rashford pretty much said that is the hardest they've worked. We know what we have to do now, starting with Burnley on Saturday. Who needs a rest and who can we bring in? Is Lamela over his broken nail yet?

That was and has been for awhile now, the issue,how we came out of the dressing room and on to the pitch.Other matches we have come back to win or eventually clicked.It has been an issue for the whole team,what is it that makes us harder to start than a 30 year old volkswagon beetle on a freezing,wet january morning.We have no energy,desire,fight,movement until around 30mins in,almost every game.Honestly if we thought we were going to lose yesterday we could have played Skipp,tanganga,and Parrott and made a fucking point of order to those who are just swanning around.Lets face it,we only rate sissoko because he does run around,when it comes to a killer pass or shot he is pony,would he even get in norwich or watfords teams??but actually consistantly he puts more in and plays better than most of our show ponys.

If we show the same level against Bayern 7-2 wont be out worse ever european defeat.Guess its hard to be hungry on quarter of a million a month,and thats the poorer paid players.

Yeah mate, there was two occasions in that 1st 30 mins that stuck in my head, we were getting torched by the Utd midfield and Winks had the ball just inside the Utd half and there wasn’t a single Spurs player with in 30 yards ahead of him. Moura, Sonny and Harry were all standing by defenders on the edge of the box, offering absolutely nothing in terms of an option, hence why we kept hoofing long balls.

I thought it was a pathetic performance yesterday, lacking in hunger and fight.

Utter garbage performance. Winks and Sissoko are the worst midfield pairing I've witnessed in a long time. It doesn't work as Sissoko spends the game covering for Aurier.

No one wanted a touch. Was fucking embarrassing. Ndombele came on and changed that but to little to late.

Eriksen over Lo Celso is tragic as well. A wantaway Vs a new comer who wants to be here. No competition for me.
