1-1 is a fair result so far, not much between the sides.
he's much better coming on for the last 20 rather than on from the startwe got so lucky with that shot to the post.I wasn't just imagining that Lukaku seemed to move over to the right wing and Lingard up top, right?Get someone near Lukaku and we'll cause them all sorts of problems.
Ah shame, didn't even realise.
Consistent ≠ good.
He's been consistently braindead but is bailed out by being quick and tall so that he sometimes resembles a defender. Most often it's when we're defending deep when he doesn't have to worry about tiny details like "covering space", "holding the line", "anticipating play", "using the ball well" and stuff like that.
What I'm saying is that he's a Pulis defender.
Yeah with Lingard doing feck all the whole half in that position. Really strange.Really good tight game. Our defense is settling but is clearly rattled, but equally, they look vulnerable to our crosses.
They are equally worse. I watching on Fox now but my god wish i could cut those commentator throat.
Garbage coverage. Also, rather surprised there are absolutely no replays.Herrera’s anticipation that half was on a different level. Hope he keeps that up second half.Get Rashford on to stretch them, he’ll cause all sorts of problems.
Think he wanted to get Lukaku away from Vertonghen and isolated on Davies instead.
The initial shot would have sailed harmlessly in to the arms of DDG, that it took a deflection on it's way was the fortunate part.BBC showing that Giggs goal again. Oh my it still gives me goosebumps..
We are set up for Sanchez to move into the middle so Dier and Dembele have numbers near them, if not necessarily being man-marked. This, for example, was why Young was up against Trippier for the goal and why Pogba had to track Eriksen (and also why he went into that channel for his foul against Son).
I don't know if lots of people are criticising Young for being 'out of position' but, if they are, the tactical conundrum at the heart of this game has clearly gone over their head.Our defending in this game worries me. Valencia and Young have been overrun. Matic needs to get more involved and release the ball earlier.I have a feeling that with martial or rashford instead of lingard, we can do much more damage. We don't need endless runing and linking up. We need some flair and speed
I reckon it's a press thing, Lingard is a better presser than Lukaku I think.
Offensively it makes a bit sense in the counters to have Lukaku wide, since their fullbacks are so high.
Makes no sense in established attack though.Mario melchiott is the analyst on fox?!
Are there any former players for top 6 sides that don’t get a gig in the media?
Agree. They are attacking from their left hand side, and put our right side on back foot. But, Herrera's anticipation has been really well. They are equally worse. I watching on Fox now but my god wish i could cut those commentator throat.
Equally worse? Equally as bad you mean. Not to be a stickler for proper grammar. Fox coverage is indeed terrible.Anyone else catch what Phil just said
. Delusional!
Would be a good trick.As many balls Sanchez loses, he manages to win a fair amount back.
One thing you can't criticise him for is a lack of effort. Exceptionally hard-working player.
Not this game, he’s won the ball back from pressing zero times, spurs have just knocked it around him.What are those "EE" letters on the roof of Wembley stand for?Where is the rake down Sanchez Achilles by Trippier, BBC? Typically even coverage!Martial on for Lingard. Nick a goal and bring on Mata for Sanchez.
Everything everywhere, cell phone company
Wembley is partnered with EE, which is a mobile phone service providerFinely poised game. Was a difficult start for us and we struggled to deal with their tempo but we've come into it and need to pin them back a bit second half.
Rashford/Martial?
I think he tends to stuggle with long balls over the top, but his reading of the game, ariel ability and general defensive work is sound enough. We know he isn't a ball playing defender and that will never change.
One bad game doesn't make him a bad player. Your criticism is overly harsh.
Sadly that guy doesn't know what a defensive line is..Come on you fecks. Don't let Spurs win.
Yeah, in general. The decision was made before the game after all.
Smmalling? Nah. Valencia for me. Closely followed by Lingard.
Son has had a field day against Valencia. The captain is not tracking his runs well at all and when he has the ball, he looks clueless. And watch the Spurs goal again, Valencia lost Alli before the cross went in.
We need Rashford in this game. Get Lingard out and Rashford in. Shift Rashford to the right side of the attack, move Alexis more centrally and keep Pogba on the left side of the midfield. Rashford has the energy to help out Valencia. We have to stop Son and offer more threat in front.- Status
