    Good first half performance. We look a bit exposed at the back and they've broken through a few times but that's probably due to this new shape he seems to be playing.

    Herrera has looked ok at CB, Shaw has been good again and Lingard hasn't stopped running. Someone drugs test him :lol:
     
    Yeah Lukaku should've scored but the criticism is completely over the top - as usual. His hold up play has been good, and his runs into the channels has been brilliant.
     
    At least Lukaku has had a good chance in each match so far this season. Be nice if he converted one, mind you.
     
    The effort is there. The determination is there. The composure to finish is not. Martial upfront finishes that Lukaku chance.
     
    Best chances coming from the left. Shaw and Fred doing well over there. Valencia doing more on the overlap would help create space there. Lukaku and Pogba looking rusty
     
    Shoot out to Shaw, Fred, Mike and Jesse OK. Rest were a bag of dicks. Pogboom and Rom garbage!

    Don't get me started on Valencia, when he just kicked it over his head into touch :lol:
     
    Danny Rose just screams anxiety and fear. He has a disturbing look in his eyes every time I see him. I’m very glad we have never signed him
     
    Pogba just passing the ball then standing still. Why's he not passing then making an effort to get forward for the return pass? Don't think he's ever broken into a jog all game.

    People say Jose hasn’t been backed.

    Is it wrong to expect more for that money? They looked like kings at the World Cup.

    Yeah lets blame Jose. They both need to take responsibility for their performamces so far. Tired of blaming everything on the manager.
     
    Very good first half, Lukaku and Pogba the only 2 who have been pretty shite. Letting us down. Put Sanchez on for Pogba or Lukaku ideally. By far our best half of the season so far. Pretty shite IMO vs Leicester, awful vs Brighton.

    What we need is to play with this attitude in EVERY GAME. Not once in a while. Every game. Front foot, pressing from the front, keeping the ball, pushing forward and making chances. Yes we'll concede a few chances, but I will take that every single day if it means we make more chances. I fecking hate seeing our drab bore draws or even grinding out the 1-0 wins without creating anything. This is far far better.
     
    Think we might look better if we take Lukaku off and bring on Alexis in place of him to be honest.
     
    Really don't see the point in Lingard playing next to Lukaku, other than that, I've been proved wrong this first half. Good footy being played.
     
    Just to confirm that Ander is playing RCB. I thought that was the case during the match as Matic seemed to be in CM and away from the defense. But checking the heat maps I can see he's been much closer to Smalling and Jones.
     
    We all have to wake up to the fact we are just not creative enough. The fact that De Gea, so often, just has to hoof it back to the opposition says it all about how we are.
     
    Shaw, Herrera, Fred and Smalling have been really good. Pogba and Lukaku poor.
    Alexis to come on and win it hopefully.
     
    I think the play here from Mou will be to bring Felli on, probably for Ander though you could make a case it should be for Matic.

    And some would argue for Pogba I’m sure.
     
    Great game. No idea what's going on. De Gea is in goal and Lukaku is up front. Everyone in between is doing whatever they want, and it's ace to watch.

    Lingard has been great. Smalling and Shaw also. Lukaku's hold up has been solid, but finishing less so. Hard chances to be fair, but should have scored when he rounded the keeper.
     
    We should be winning, but Lukaku had other ideas. Shaw has been our best player.

    I have this awful nagging feeling that Jones is going to cost us.

    It's not much use being good at holding a ball up if we can't score at the end of it
     
    The most important thing i took from that half was the fight most of the boys had, a complete turn around from the second half against Brighton, ok so we aren't winning but they look like they give a feck, it's been a massive improvement from last week.
     
    Good first half that should have seen us 1-0. Three games in a row Lukaku has spurned pretty easy chances for a striker of his class. I know he had no preseason but against the best teams those chances must be taken.

    Lots of good performances but we need to be more switched on to the cross field ball. Spurs are getting in behind the full backs, especially Valencia.

    Not a showing that indicates Mou has lost the dressing room, as many in the media want us to believe.
     
    Neville trying to excuse Lukaku’s miss.

    Spurs should have had a penalty according to Carragher.

    I wonder whether they will highlight Alli on Ander?
     
    Really enjoyed that. Faded badly in last 10 mins which was due to some players first game back. Our system made Spurs long ordinary and you can see it works well but it's 100% down to the ability of the players. The right quality in personnel and it would be exciting to watch. You can't legislate for missed chances and just a general poor show by Pogs. I think Rom might struggle in this system as he hasn't got the technical ability....
     
    That was much much better...We were clearly the better team for the first 35 minutes,even though spurs came back strongly in the last 10 minutes of the half.Smallings been very commanding so far,Shaw and Valencia have both played with a lot of intensity and Herrera did what he was supposed to do.

    Matic and Pogba need to do more in the 2nd half though,especially Pogba.Freds been great so far,but Lukaku needs to give us more...All in all,we were clearly the better team...We have to get the goal from somewhere now...
     
    Lingard against 4 Spurs' defenders working on a poor pass from Lukaku, again and again, all chaotic and random play. Cannot get anything past really poor Spurs today, I'm not pleased with this half.

    Tbf I think that guy is more putting the blame on Lukaku and Pogba looking pub level out there and letting us down today. We are fully dominating Spurs but a few players letting us down, and they happen to be our 2 record signings.
