Considering we've been caught out by the very same cross repeatedly this season, then we'll definitely have to disagree. The only players in the box were heavily marked so we needed someone waiting for the cut back.This match has reaffirmed my belief that Fred would actually look really good in a Conte system. Think he and VDB in Conte's 3-5-2/3-4-3 could work well.I think we have to score at least one more goal to win. We have not had a clean sheet for almost 50 years.De Gea's refusal to come off his line will be the undoing of any progress that is made under this manager or the next.
It's crazy that a corner that is floated right into the 6-yard box is allowed to be freely contested with zero intervention from our goalkeeper.
It was sheer luck on half-time that the Tottenham players got in each other's way to stop them scoring from a direct corner swung into the 6-yard box.
We will never go anywhere with De Gea.
Why wait.
That's some serious logic right there.
They're expecting a 13-12 game like they play on FIFA.
McT and Fred are the easy targets, especially for those who pine for Donny in deep midfield, with his long history of playing that role.I would say we were decent but nothing spectacular, start as we mean to go though and lets not start the second half like we normally do.
Annoying but true because he’s such a good shot stopper.
That's what Rodgers would say
Is it? Shaw and AWB have been getting up there plenty and having a lot of the ball in the attackI don’t think anyone Utd player has been poor today. It’s been a proper team performance . I like the systemOle basically confirmed that Conte's system can work.I’ve got to say you’ve looked quite good. Not sure why everyone is saying AWB is so bad, he’s had a few good moments going forward and caused Spurs problems.
I have always thought Shaw is a natural wing back so this suits his game. The back 3 look solid enough for a formation they can only have had a couple of days practicing.
Even the much maligned McT and Fred look OK, some great passes from McT.
you fully deserve to be ahead so far.AWB has been better than Shaw on both ends. What a weird thing to say though.
Ronaldo could score in every single game, and some would still blame him for our awful defense. As if he’s supposed to be a striker, midfielder, defender and goalkeeper.Having someone up top who presses actually helps the team. Shock
No he isn't.
His job is to score goals (the rest is gravy). It's up to Ole to find a tactic that works with Ronaldo (and without).
And if all he did was block Martials path to gametime, it'd be a plus.So this is what it's like to win under Conte and his formation? I like it
had to add on the Conte comments....
But it really wasn't clever as anyone would know if they were actually watching.
McTom has been decent it’s Fred that needs replacing hes lost in the opposition halfSpurs are awfulOk i will hold my hand up, Mctominay is playing really well! If anything Bruno has been a bit loose on the ball, but he got a nice assist for Ronaldo.
Shaw hasn't got himself into enough good areas in attack for me. He's defended alright but I want more from a wing back with 3 defenders behind him.
We have Ronaldo and Cavani up top. There can't be too many pairings in the history of football better suited to getting crosses into.
Totally agree on McTominay though. Stupid, lazy criticism from people trying to score easy points.
AWB was our best man in first half
Perhaps, but the players in the box were all tightly marked so it would have needed an inch perfect aerial cross, whereas anyone getting into the box would have had a great chance. We've been caught out by the same cross loads this season, so I'm more disappointed that nobody took up the edge of the box position.Please don't unravel now boys..keep fightingBalance looks better without Greenwood, Sancho and Rashford wide…Completely unimpressed
Yeah. If he could only cross on the far post...Wake up De Gea, shocking pass.
Everything in the 6 yard box should be the keepers barring the odd exceptional corner or fast flick on. Everything outside it should be defenders. Being allowed to use your bloody arms when others can't is something you have to take advantage of
Alcohol helpsI'm a nervous wreck on gameday.
Cavani let that run and nobody will complain. If Sancho/Lingard did that, people would lose their shit. Just sayin'.Well the tactics are working almost perfectly so far.
Not the best game to watch, but winning is all that matters right now. If we win and get something against City, Ole will deservedly get more time.Ole'ssssss at the wheel!
Sorry, couldn't help itaarrghh offside- Status
