Started well, but just as I expected, Spurs' three in the middle have dominated our two.

Maybe take Mkhi off, and bring McTominay on, matching Spurs in the middle.

We're playing like the away side at the moment because we can't get control of the ball. Having three should give us more control, thrn we can have a better build up and provide better service to our strikers.

Id like to see Rom doing more running off the ball. Coming to the ball too much. Needs to make the pitch bigger.

You would put McTominay first, instead of Lingard?

Not surprised.

Jose has to remember that he is managing at O.T and has to play with some bravery and show some football. Wtf was that first half? Un fecking believable!

Again what is he supposed to do. Go and start playing himself. Did u hear him shouting "GO,GO,GO" at his players..Did u see how crap herrera is going forward, did you see how mkhi is not even able to make one useful contribution. You act as if jose is telling herrera to not pass properly.

Mkhi is a coward, i really really wish we sell him asap, players with less ability are showing the determination while this guy hides behind people. Really pissed off with him, we are playing with 10 men.

Delle ALI dive not even talked about where i am watching. English players really get it easy. Expect tottenham to win the game via a penalty of one of their players diving.

Without Pogba we have no midfield presence, no one who could control the game and no one who can do something special there. Its not mourinho's fault its just lack of genuine ability.

Martial for mkhi would be my change, jose will go for lingard as he scored in midweek. Unless we concede we will not change shape and take the draw.

Young got slated and demonised for it when he dived. Its because Alli is not a United player.

Any outfield player can be the best even when the team is playing well. Valencia has achieved this a lot. Evra did several times in his prime. I see your point though, the rest need to step up.

Exactly my point, yeah. I give him respect because he plays at his best. You can never criticize a player who does that.

Mourinho should replace mkhitariyan with Martial and let that front 3 run free.

This will result in the front 3 being even more isolated. Martial can't come on in this system. He can only come on for one of the central defenders, and we change to a 4-2-3-1.

Just think how we would be if we had Eriksen instead of Mkhi?

Yes please!

Ref was happy to let that go then, twat.

Jeffthered · Oct 28, 2017

Matic is coming in for some unfair critique here in my opinion. Matic was not brought to OT for his creative play... he is a stopper, and gets us playing. Like Carrick (who passes much better, but hasn't the same physical presence).

Matic is getting let down by players around him. I named the obvious players we miss, and I forgot to add Fellani who seems to make things happen.

Bastian · Oct 28, 2017

Well at least we have the linesmen doing the job of the ref.

He can and he will, only to Rashford's spot.

We didn't have a single shot on target.

Shots on target from long distance vs getting close to a big chance, I think we've been clearly (not to be confused with far) better than Tottenham so far, both in getting close to a goal & in general play.
I'm more of a cup half-full person when I can choose to be.

Sadly he cant defend for shit, we should go for van Dijk.

Is he as good as he is made out to be?

Then, of course, there was whathisname - you know, Irish guy.

Score a bloody goal.

Anustart89 · Oct 28, 2017

You could see Moss sigh when he had to give that when the lino flagged :lol:

2 man midfield · Oct 28, 2017

Ffs our delivery is absolutely shocking

Shark · Oct 28, 2017

Dreadful delivery.

kouroux · Oct 28, 2017

feck off Mkhitaryan. Shit player

minoo-utd · Oct 28, 2017

Well fexk of.

redIndianDevil · Oct 28, 2017

too many hoofs. We might as well play with 10 men instead of playing with miki

Strats · Oct 28, 2017

Once again, Mkhitaryan should feck off

The guy is a total coward and a fraud.

He’s a technically talented lad, but he just doesn’t have the mental strength to be a top player. He seems to crumble under any sort of pressure.

Camy89 · Oct 28, 2017

Dead ball deliveries have been atrocious. Genuinely atrocious

He's been jogging since the international break.

mitchmouse · Oct 28, 2017

at the risk of repeating myself for about 10th time: we are short in midfield. have been since scholes retired. that's why spurs are controlling the game and we are not threatening. we need a world-class creative in there and a top-class winger. and i'm afraid lukaku is what I thought he was: either hot or cold and nothing in between. can see us losing this 2-0

SilentWitness · Oct 28, 2017

Mkhitaryan just looks poor.

Overrun? Hold the ball? I don't think that's really it. Mata can create and inspire.

He is not going to be able to do anything when pressed though.

Anustart89 · Oct 28, 2017

fecking hell, they're going up with their arms in every 50 50 and Moss finds a foul for them or doesn't give anything.

Irrational. · Oct 28, 2017

Pogba can't come back quickly enough.

Loublaze · Oct 28, 2017

MKHITARYAN AGAIN

Interesting.

Much more interesting than the football on show at the moment.

minoo-utd · Oct 28, 2017

Mkhitaryan fecking off ffs.

Zarlak · Oct 28, 2017

I'm going to make a soundboard later for this commentator and it's just going to have one button on it with 'he went down easily'.

SwansonsTache · Oct 28, 2017

Lingard would be an upgrade on Mkhi, and that is saying something.

Josep Dowling · Oct 28, 2017

The only player that can cross a ball in this league is Ward-Prowse. How can £100k a week players not beat a first man or over hit a cross every time.

2 man midfield · Oct 28, 2017

If we're not playing hoofball then we're playing at walking pace. It's not good enough.
