Tottenham Hotspur 2:2 Manchester United

JagUTD · Apr 27, 2023

Spurs look like they desperately need a central defender and I just so happen to know of a high quality, England quality centre back who is available for sale.

He also loves a deep line!

With Palpatine voice it sounds even better

That's what I was going for. Or like some kind of mosquito rubbing its legs together (guess they don't have hands) in anticipation before they find another unsuspecting victim.

It seems strange that Tottenham only have Højbjerg and Skipp in their central midfield. Here we have 3 key players - Tottenham's midfield is constantly outnumbered. And it's so obvious that even an amateur like me can see it.

They miss Bentancur a lot in my opinion. It's a right state this Spurs squad, shocking how little quality they have away from attack.

I'm not going to be comfortable until we get a 3rd. Especially after being 2-0 up and coasting against Sevilla, only to squander it away in the final minutes.

Sancho has been good. Anthony needs to match him on the right. Rashford wasn't having his best game, up until the goal. So hopefully he gets a taste for it now. Casemiro isn't the same player he was prior to suspension. Hope he can pull it together soon. Where would we be without Bruno? He really does make this team tick.

Those were own goals though, what are the odds of conceding freak goals like that again.

I thought Perisic might be decent for them but he's been the opposite of the player he was previously. Poor decisions, untidy on the ball, not winning battles and poor end product in attack. Watching him tonight it just makes me scratch my head at why anybody would want to play him as a wing back if this is what he's been like. Their options must be terrible for that position.

I really thought the same about Perisic and he even looked decent early on. However along the way, he aged by 10 years and has turned into a proper Spurs player

Why did Conte burst out and leave? Their league position suggests that Spurs haven't been having a terrible season up until that point. They've just crumbled after him, bit weird IMO

Cause after years and years of evidence we can comfortably day that he's a very unstable man.

Now that you mention it, yeah, he's quite good at winning headers. Or at least the impression I get every time he challenges for it .

Kinda a reminder of evra scoring goals in Ferguson's last season from set pieces

I've noticed this for years. He is superb at defending the back post, and, when playing CB this year, has had no trouble centrally either. There was a header he won near the end of the first half which was just so casual for him even though I think he was competing with Kane.

A good call back to Evra in 12/13! I definitely think it's worth a shot.

Shaw shouldn't be taking corners, he should be attacking them in the oppos box.

Whether here at CB or defending the back post at LB, he nearly always wins his headers.

That's actually a good point.

Sylar · Apr 27, 2023

Just seen Newcastle score twice tonight before turning to the United game

What's up with Casemiro. Our best player is looking like our worst these days.

It's the fault of their structure and fullbacks. You need your fullbacks fitting into the midfield to play that formation and give yourself more control, otherwise you just end up with a flat back 5 and hopeful hoofs from the midfield to the attack while the other team dominates you in territory.

He is slow in getting in form after every break

Guessing we can have Bruno / eriksen on the corners but won't have an inswinging one from the right side

I think he's one of those who could play several positions at a considerably high level.

It's very helpful for our CB depth.

Sancho winning a defensive header!

mu4c_20le · Apr 27, 2023

Why did Levy even show up

SAF is the GOAT · Apr 27, 2023

Rashford's goal is all on Benni Mcarthy. Rashford doesn't score this kind of goal with his left foot in last recent years and the change is only from benni.

Chairman Steve · Apr 27, 2023

Match hasn’t even started and we’re 2-0 up already?!

Colin got a compliment

calodo2003 · Apr 27, 2023

Let’s kill them off early so we can give some minutes to the bench.

MDFC Manager · Apr 27, 2023

Levy

Would feel sorry for him if he wasn't such a thundercnut

The Firestarter · Apr 27, 2023

The feck is this

red.knight · Apr 27, 2023

Need to come out and get the third early second half and kill the game.

My goodness we were lucky there

criticalanalysis · Apr 27, 2023

What was De Gea doing there.

krazyrobus · Apr 27, 2023

Looks like we haven't woken up this half.

Sylar · Apr 27, 2023

Looked a foul on lindelof
Then one on ddg although he loves hugging his post

Who's Kissing Cameras? · Apr 27, 2023

De Gea man. Causes absolute chaos.
