Manchester United 1:0 Tottenham Hotspur

Can't believe I'm trying to decide between Jones and Rojo for MOTM :lol:

They gave everything today!

I will just never understand booing one of your own players when they are being subbed on. Disgusting

Jazz · Dec 11, 2016

Spurs sure love a foul don't they? Terrible

Good win. Should've won by more. Slightly tainted by HM injury and Fellaini boos (utterly classless and disgusting to our own player).

Agreed. As much as I dislike afroman, that's not on.

Witchking · Dec 11, 2016

Brilliant football at times. Herrera, Mkhi and Rojo were absolutely great. Spurs hardly had a chance other than the free header. Well played United. More goals please.

SirAnderson · Dec 11, 2016

Now for Liverpool to lose points today and it will top off a good weekend.

Well said. Classless and disgusting is right.

It is, but its hard to know whether its frustration with Jose going full defensive retard which has backfired before by bringing on poor subs, or because they just hate Fellaini.

I expect its more of the former.

Chorley1974 · Dec 11, 2016

Good win to grind out in the end, got feck all from the ref but that's the way forward with Maureen as boss. Booing of Fellaini was classless and embarassing.

Martial at least had some good moments - also when going back.
It`s been a while since Rashford showed something worth mentioning.

The trouble is we forget how young they actually are. Neither one is going to reach their peak for another 5-6 years.

spenzo · Dec 11, 2016

Maybe it's just me that's not surprised but - play Rojo at CB and he does well it's not complicated. Great again today.

I'd say because they hate Fellaini. Not like he hasn't been booed by our own fans before is it?

Herrera for me.

Though I equally could have given it to Rojo, Jones, or Mkhi

Went right over your head didn't it. This is a famous saying as Spurs nearly always fail to deceive against United whether they are above us, on form or beneath us.

Its a bit of both though surely. The guy is a makeshift defensive midfielder who isn't mobile and can be clumsy. Bringing him on to shut down games doesn't make much sense, and hasn't so far this season.

Touché in that case then

Deserved win for United ... Spurs were far too toothless up front

Encouraging by Sissoko, not sure if it was because Darmian was shite or Sissoko was that good. What happened to Lamela?

No second goal and we'll tire, drop deep and concede.

Thankfully that didn't happen, which is what impressed me today. Continued to press up until the final whistle. If we did that against in the other games where we taken the lead, I'm pretty sure we'd be top three right now.

We'd at least be equal on points with City. Definitely 6 points we have blown this season.

Isn't it nice having to make a choice, not that there is only one choice?

That's true.
Could also have been Herrera for MOTM. Just couldn't decide, but then gave it Jones in the end. Best game I've seen him play for us for a while.

It was at least 70% this.

Something is missing. When I watched your lot vs citeh I thought you guys were hitting the ground running but ever since it seems that a combination of Erikson and Ali are not having the same sort of influence as last season.

didn't realise Sissoko was the GOAT winger lol. Darmian made him look elite even though SIssoko was playing in a completely foreign role today lol

robinamicrowave · Dec 11, 2016

Not sure the overall performance was any better than in games you've drawn this season (Stoke, Burnley, Arsenal) but you held on today and got a big win when you needed to, so that's fair enough for United at the moment.

Spurs were pretty poor, though, except for Lloris. Kane had a terrible game especially.

Any concerns with particular players or just an off day for the team?

He's been out with a hip injury for some quite some time now .... which is a pity because I include him in Spurs best XI.

I think that without Lamela (who has been injured for a while now) Poch is not entirely sure of his best XI in terms of who to play where in the attacking three behind Kane, nor whether to prefer Dier or Wanyama in the DM role (I prefer Dier).

It was also a bit of an off day for Spurs: Kane made an uncharacteristic mistake in giving the ball away in a dangerous place, which led directly to your goal. And Wanyama missed a sitter of a header - wasn't even on target when unchallenged from only a few feet from goal - which might well have otherwise levelled up the score.

Yeah Lamela definitely gives you something when he's on it, I seem to remember him being decent in the 3-0 against us last season.
