United had about 60% possession and 1 attempt, none on target. We scored. Then we gave them a chance from 6 yards. Typical Spurs!
I noticed Hootnow and Indianspurs saying it was a poor freekick or lucky from Walker? It was intentional and a great finish.
BrainOfLevy can you explain which minutes we are going to rest with the ball, or are we going full steam all game in this match? Let us know when you can see it switch.
Did you notice we had nobody on the post when they had a corner? Everyone was looking at each other quizically, then Soldado trudged vaguely in that direction without interest. On the next corner he again stood somewhere towards the post but also trying to play offside somehow. Next time AVB was shouting at him and he went near the post.
Eventually shi.t like that will come back to haunt us, not setting up properly at all and someone like Jones or Vidic will just hammer a header into that corner and Soldado will look like Bambi.
I don't think we will rest in this game much, unless we have the lead and the game in coming to the end. These are precisely the sort of games where we play quick football with high intensity - exactly what I've been saying.
My only worry is we didn't keep it up against Chelsea after a good first half and not taking our chances. We may see something similar here.
