***OMT EPL TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Manchester United***

if i was being neutral, the Rashford goal was good to watch tbf

Yes, I wondered about the 3 at the back.

I wonder if that was just the system best suited considering the sub we’d just made and those available on the pitch, or whether it’s something that Ange has looked at.

It looked like a 4 with porro in midfield to me, dragusin was briefly right back.

Interesting entry at the end of The Guardian's MBM game blog:

That is United’s first score draw of the season, and they don’t really deserve it. Spurs were the better team, but not quite sharp enough in front of goal – perhaps because they didn’t need to be. The draw is a better result for them than for United, who remain eight points behind them. United’s forwards were better, with Hojlund and Rashford scoring fine goals, but they never had any control in the middle of the park. Casemiro, sitting on the bench, may have been wondering why on earth he wasn’t asked to help with that.

For those of you bemoaning our midfield choices, take that.

agree with that M-O-M from Neville

I’d have given it to richy

Yeah
I agree

Yeah
I agree

I don't see us ever playing 3 at the back again while we have Ange in charge.

Why would we
Against teams as blunt as United is such a waste

Ange is delighted, sounds like more going on with the illness stuff behind the scenes.. That's good enough for me

Ange - "really rough week off the pitch with illness.... and other things"

 

[Surfless]

Just dawned on me (prob just not seen the post on here already) but where was Sess?

Dier leaving would have a huge mental impact on the squad, I’m sure they all looked up to him.

Keane must be looking for a job with Radcliffe.

 

[metalgear]

Good showing by werner and dragusin. Both were calm and in control, didn't look out of place at all. Gil did well I thought. Johnson was wasteful.

ah now come on Roy, I know yr a Cork-Mancunian but with Spur's missings, you cant expect us to be winning at OT

Think it’s typical Keane analysis. Most of it is very heavily outcome focused. And he has a point - no point going too over the top in praise for us. We did well but drew.

That said, I think Neville’s analysis is always much more insightful because he doesn’t just look at the result. Problem with Neville for me is when he starts banging on about the owners or subjects other than football.

He's a tidy player, if he could bulk up he would be a good option.

Ndombele could help him with that.

From teletext:

"They've come to Old Trafford and dominated, they should have won. Perhaps the injuries meant they couldn't finish the job off in the end."
