Has he? No one deserves that accolade ffs.
I recall one through ball that actually made it through. I maybe wrong but tbh I’m that annoyed with how shite we’ve been I could be wrong.
Which sitter?
When the keeper saved with his foot?
I think anyone that watches football knows that he should have scored.
Maybe I don't watch football then.
He’s been taken off.the irony is off the charts
Erm, it's dark outside. Not that either of those things have anything to do with the point at hand.
He didn't miss a sitter and he wasn't our best player.
Back to calling everything a sitter for Jesse I see. My favourite is still last season when a 40 yard ball over the shoulder on the volley was apparently a sitter according to some on here.
Basically everything good today started with him going on a run.

The point in hand is that there are so many posters on here that claim he’s been the best player on the pitch when he’s been dross and gets pulled.
No, the point in hand is your dumb remark that he missed a sitter and "anyone that watches football knows that he should have scored".
I’ve just rewatched it. He should have scored and I noted that’s exactly what an ex pro said. Oh the irony !!
Conversely, also back to overrating completely average performances. He was poor, he had a good chance and Lloris done well. That's it really. Works both ways with the under and overrating of performances. He's been great the past while, he wasn't tonight.
When you find yourself using the words of Hargreaves or Hoddle as support of your stance you should give up and switch off the router.
Oh the irony!
Someone called him the best of a bad bunch. That's in no way overrating.
Also isn't really related to the fact so many people on here have no clue what a sitter is.
It was an utterly pointless bump and was asking for someone to bite. He was no better or worse than plenty of others. This thread didn't need a bump.
Dunno why he got taken off.
Was at least running about trying.

I thought he was ok, looked sharper and more in touch with the pace of the game than most of our players.
Thinks he’s better than he is really. His passing and decision making needs to improve vastly.
Jose can't drop Lukaku.
Don't have much or any complaints with him. Worked hard like always, pressed them, been our most dangerous player in that solid spell until the second goal. Didn't see the point in taking him off, to be honest.
Me neither, seemed the only player apart from Alexis able to drive forward without being dispossessed and he was all over the pitch
Yeah, you could see that he is high on confidence and was looking for the ball and making good runs. Sub him for Mata made zero difference and sense, although the whole team by that time went down the drain tbf.
I suspect Mou was hoping to bring more organization in that final third with Mata since Lingard ultimately only created one scoring opportunity early. He should be on the pitch though as he seems to generate good things out of nothing but it’s clear that there is disorganization in the attack
No idea why he came off, tbh. Considering his recent form, it would have been worth keeping him on though it would most likely have made feck all difference.
Probably, only he was bringing Fellaini as well, so you're losing at the same time some organization from the back. All together was little confusing.
A key point in the end. We were beaten and lost by then.
But Fellaini got subbed back off after a few minutes for Herrera. I thought this was the substitution error he owned up to
Fellaini had an issue with his knee, hence why he was replaced. The sub for me should have been at half time with either Fellaini or Herrera coming on for Lingard in my opinion. Change the shape to get some control in midfield and hope that with Herrera or Matic would be enough to stall the dominance Spurs were showing.
No, saw it later, Fellaini was clearly injured and limping after only a few minutes. Personally, I thought Herrera sub would make more sense in the first place, either for Pogba or switching to 4-3-3, but in the end, we were already on the ropes and most likely nothing would make a difference. Which is a separate problem and what really bothered me after the game.
It is what it is. Lingard should keep his place, though, in the coming fixtures.
We should have even started like that. There was no balance in the team. So naive and unexpected from Jose. Came out of his defensive / counter attacking shell at the wrong moment. I think most people got carried away by the arrival of Sanchez thinking it would completely transform our attack such that we dont need to do any actual mid-fielding. Just steamroll them like sitting ducks.
I do agree as it meant I only got 10 points as surely he had to go with a midfield 3. I had Herrera in and just didn’t know if it would be Lingard or Martial missing out.
Lingard I felt his weaknesses were a bit exposed yesterday, greedy on the ball, not releasing the ball, poor positionally getting in peoples way and so on so for me he’d have been the one I sacrificed.
Was good for the first 20 minutes and then petered out of the game. Was a passenger in the second half so could see why he was replaced to be honest.
I can see why Mourinho took him off but in terms of performance he was one of the better ones last night. I said in the post match thread that the team lacked fight, he was one of the only ones trying.
I don't think he was bad at all but at the same at the same time starting with a proper third midfielder rather than him would have benefited us more imo.
He found acres of space in the first 30 minutes or so, and did very well in that period. We really should've had something to show for it, too. But he faded afterwards, and, predictably, he didn't do much after being moved out right after the break. He's not, and never will be, a good enough winger for Manchester United. If anything, he's more suited to being a more orthodox runner in a 4-3-3, and I can't for the life of me understand why Mourinho seems so reluctant to try him there. So easy to change the shape when we're conceding the midfield if you acknowledge that Lingard can do a very good job in that role, too.
