Manchester United 2:0 Tottenham Hotspur

Post-match discussion


Wed, 19 October 2022

How are Spurs third? I mean, we were good, but they were horrendous.

They scrape a lot of games off the back of trying to do what they did tonight but getting a goal on the break.

It's why I never understood people automatically saying they were a shoo-in for 3rd. They are so unimpressive if you don't let them counter properly
 
Literally perfect. If we could finish better that would have been a mauling
 
That was absolutely brilliant.

If one person finds anything to moan about I’m permanently banning them.

We didn't finish more chances? there's always room for improvement.

I think we could be more creative but this is the level United should play at EVERY game. Drop below that level and you're benched IMO.
 
Spurs looked beaten from the first whistle. The press worked tonight, we looked comfortable, almost a testimonial in the second half.

Casemiro was class. Martinez dominated Kane. Need to cut the sloppy passes out of our play. Fred and Bruno gave the ball away too many times. Dalot and Shaw playing very well. All we need is a finisher under 30.
 
Performance of the season by a distance. We made a really solid Spurs team look worse than ordinary. Fred, Casemiro, Martinez were beyond brilliant.
 
Amazing performance. So happy with that. If this is what we can look forward to seeing more of then I'm buzzing.

Spurs did look quite poor but at the same time we completely neutralised them. Never felt they were a threat. Our finishing definitely needs work and we still need that CF. But some really nice quick passing, confidence, aggression and desire. Lovely one twos around the box.

Bruno was fantastic tonight. Playing with confidence and freedom. Fred, Dalot and Rashford all quality. Love the calmness in our defence, including DDG.

For me, still a question mark over Sancho. Looked a weak link tonight. He wasn't bad, I just don't think he is for this league.
 
Fantastic all throughout. need to get Eth his striker

That midfield was a workforce. Brilliant
 
Our best match this season? Absolutely the best match for our midfield. Played very well all over the pitch, as a team and individually. But must also say Spurs didn’t show up. Kane had a few moments but apart from that, zero.
 
Rashford probably should have had a goal or two but he worked his socks off tonight and in general played really well. Sancho very underwhelming again.
I agree that's why I had the caveat "finishing". Thought his overall play was good
 
Never ever ever give up when 2-0 down but more importantly when 2-0 up, concentration monsters.

Ericksons class showed when he came on.
 
Closest I have seen us since United in their hayday under SAF.
Exceptional
 
We are gonna thump some teams if we play like that consistently. I’ve not seen uniyed play that good in many many years.

Ronaldo sulking off after a great United win reminded me of Ruud after United thumped Wigan 4-0 in the league cup final. That actually signalled the beginning of the end of ruud with Saha up front giving us a more balanced look. I feel it’s similar here, we look a far better team without Ronaldo.
 
Total domination. Incredible performance. Fred, Shaw and Casemiro absolute monsters. Entire defence organised and like a brick wall. Bruno looking like Bruno from his first season. Dalot playing his best game in a United shirt. Antony involved in every attack. Only Sancho was quite poor but he at least pressed and contributed to the team with that.

Long may it continue.

Not going to mention that diva that continues to annoy the manager. The sooner he leaves the better.
 
What a fantastic performance the best in years. It's totally a team effort you can only praise every players. They all were great today. ETH go brrrrrrrr :devil:
 
I wonder when the last time we had 10 shots on target against a top six team was
 
Bloody superb to a man. Closed down spurs relentlessly for 94 minutes, didnt give them an inch. Martinez had kane in his pocket.
Casamiro Fred and Bruno superb in midfield.
best attacking display i can remember for a long long time… spurs keeper made a number of outstanding saves, a couple he had no right to. 4-0 minimum would have been a better reflection on the total control we had.

very well played. Get a top finisher in and we will look a team.
 
Best all round performance maybe since Southampton 9-0. I think the energy levels impressed me the most. Didn’t know we could go like that for 90 mins, even Rashford. Very intrigued for Saturday now. Perfect follow up game as it’ll be a massive test. Even though chelsea away is tougher if we play like that we can beat them.
 
Accomplished display, dominated the 1st half deserved at least one goal and rewarded one two minutes into the 2nd half.

2 goal and fine finish by Bruno basically sealed a good value win. Wouldn't have known Kane, Son was playing at all i suppose credit to having a good centre back pairing in Martinez, Varane and natural CDM in Casemiro.

As for Conte thats his 4th match to manage a team in Old Trafford and 4 defeats I'm just glad United have Ten Hag over him.

Absolutely buzzing!!!
Best performance since 2008, only half joking!

Only downer is Ronaldo walking out with a couple of minutes to go. If the fecker isn`t happy for the team after this performance he can go feck him self with a sharp object
 
Excellent performance all over the pitch.
Sancho was my lowest rated player, and he got 6. We look so much tighter in defence, more cohesive in midfield, and we created numerous chances, Loris was immense, we just need to be more ruthless around the box, Rashford could have had a hattrick, perhaps he should have a chat with Henry later.
I thought the ref was one of the best we've seen this season, let a few things go, and was conned by Kane, but let the game flow, it was more like a proper game.
 
Loved the energy too, like the good old days at OT when opponent didnt stand a chance from the minute one.
 
Best we played in months and Ronaldo has to feck off early, sulking. What a person.
 
Just an utter dismantling of a good side, I couldn't fault a single player. And it's a while since I've said that! I don't think 7-0 would've flattered us, Lloris made some ridiculous saves.

I hope Martinez empties his pockets and let's Kane go home!
 
As close to a 10/10 from everyone (bar Sancho) you could get

Put ourselves in the right position and nothing to fear on Saturday going to Stamford Bridge
 
I can't remember the last time we utterly dominated a team to that extent. Spurs, who have been playing decent football, may as well have not played anyone in the middle of the pitch. Meanwhile our defense absolutely shut Kane and Son down.

If we had a proper CF we could have scored 4 or 5.

Hope Ronaldo doesn't stop walking until he reaches the MLS where he belongs.
 
Absolutely superb! Top performances from every one of them. We played like a team that had been playing together for years and everything came together tonight. Haven’t enjoyed a United game like that in a long time! Get in, lads!
 
Most complete performance I've seen from us in a long, long time. Dominated the game tactically, in possession, out of possession and created enough chances to score 4 or 5.
 
That was a team performance and as we all know, Ronaldo is not a team player. I won't miss him.

Well played throughout, without an on-fire Lloris, that would have been a hiding.

Pleased for Fred
 
excellent performance all around. Lloris the reason this wasn't a thrashing.

feels good to watch a United game where they totally outclass their opponents. Can we do this more often? Pretty please?
 
Brilliant performance. I honestly cannot remember how long it has been since we put in a performance like that.
