We dominated for the first 30 minutes. Scored a goal their keeper should save 10 times out of 10, but we were definitely better going forward. It was always unlikely that Spurs would play that within themselves for much longer. Got to capitalise in dominant periods. Their goal was outstanding to be fair and came on the back of a McTominay mistake.

Maguire is not much better than Smalling. That £80M should have gone on midfield. I like Maguire, but no way is he worth £80M.
Gif lords vids don't play anymorePleasantly surprised by Fred today though. Solid performance thus far.Great half. Best i've seen this season. But sadly, we blew our chances and noway will we dominate like that for another 45. I can only hope our players prove me wrong.
Great to have McT back! Clearly rusty, but still massive steps up from Pereira.Very good first half, enjoyed that. Should have scored more. Greenwood anonymous. Young trash. Rashford has been excellent, as was Fred. McTominay is a big upgrade on Pereira, although the bad pass led to the goal.
Not really, they gave us space to play. But we did surprisingly lead for a few minutes so there is that!Bitter pill to swallow considering we have controlled the game. But still time...Shock news McTominay can't pass the ball.
Lingard was messy but I think he offered more than Andreas would have.
Chome for me, no ad blockers and it still didn't work.
I'm afraid that James will end up being injured chasing after these crazy balls. The guy is fast alright but that doesn't mean accuracy goes out of the window when passing to himThing is, I can't see us playing as well again as we did in that first half hour.
He's actually particularly bad at long balls towards the front players for us. On the floor he does fine with some longer passes, but when he tries to play an air ball up to the front its always 100% hopeful and only gets to the player if a defender defends it badly. Its their ball all day long
I thought the all played like United players that half.
Pogba feckes up 2/3 of his passes, McT did one and defense had ample opportunity to clear it. Can you see the difference without the cloud of Pogba "whataboutism"?Hope that’s the last time Lingard plays in an important game for usFor all the best half of the season talk (which I agree with) we still concede five minutes of light pressure and concede a goal from it and have nothing to show for all our good play.
Nah, that's not handball.
From what they shown on Prime, the angles, it was really hard to see. Looked like it didn't touch his arm.Not sure what Young was trying to do. Fred is wrong side but at least has him pinned.
Young charges like he’s going to win the ball and somehow runs past him and also ends up wrong side? Baffling!Playing well. Not sure why the players absolutely rattle their passes though. Thankfully they’re being received and controlled but sometimes it looks wildWe play with such reckless naivety.
Doesn't work for me using Chrome mobile, no ad blockers, have tried turning pops ups on with no joy. Can't even copy the URL string into a new tab, same thing happens, broken link.The comments about Wan-Bissaka feel like people just repeating things they've heard before, without considering that he's improving (trying some things like stepovers and stop starts), has attacked space in this match, and is still only just 22 years old.Name me one good Brazilian called Fred.
Exactly.
Fred wins the ball incredibly often.Was worried when Young was brought back in and he cost us the equaliser. Alli should not have room to do that so close to our goal. Worried too we have sagged completely since the half hour mark.We must be leading the league in points dropped from winning positions. It’s happening week after week.
Andreas is slightly older and not put in any of the kind of performances Scott has put in this season. He's been bang average. So there wasn't much point in mentioning both players like you did.
Agree, some of these "fans" are not really fans. All teams have them, we have been very good and good and could have had 3 before they got their goal. Only thing I cannot understand is why we do not put this effort in every match
You can't? Because it sort of seemed you could.
How exactly does it not work? What do you see on the page / what happens when you click it etc?
You'll get hanged, drawn and quartered for saying that on here.Also funny how the handball rules are still something NOBODY knows how work. That ball hits his arm and completely changes direction. How can that NOT be handball according to those new "If it touches"-rules?
agreed, he’d have probably wrestled him to the ground, got sent off and they’d have had a penalty that Kane would have scored.
Good defender but the revisionism on here is something else.So many bad decisions on our part before their goal, starts with a pass to McTomminay who is facing the wrong way and has several players surrounding him, Son being able to walk past 3 player, win the ball back and passes it right back to them. Dave not going out and taking that cross, then Fred and Young letting Alli turn like that
Smambles
Exactly. People may not like the rule but that its still in the rule book, therefore it should be handball. Either remove it from the rulebook or follow the rules.
Was 20 million cheaper last season and Ed said 'no'.
