Tottenham vs Manchester United OMT

[Kandi1977]

We've been the far better side so far, but that will count for nothing, as well most likely gift them a goal.

Lets see how many times Pogba puts his hand into the face of one of our players.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Good to see pogba having his arm protected for when it hits a players face

 

[Bishop]

Maybe it’s me but I don’t see them pressing at all
I mean we have had most of the ball so far and had it quite comfortable

When we have the ball in our half notice they press us, not intently not super aggressively but enough that we don't have comfortable possession at the back. The reverse doesn't appear to be the case although GLC has made a couple of beat interceptions.

 

[Rorschach]

United seem capable of pressing us in a way we just never seem able to do. I don't know if that is player type, player intent or manager instruction. Just something I notice.

Coaching

 

[Kandi1977]

Maguire with both hands around Kane, throwing him to the ground. Nothing....

 

[Bedfordspurs]

There players seem to be much closer together than ours

 

[Bishop]

I do think he has potential to be a key player, as long as the expectation is on him being in the engine room rather than a final third contributor.

Agreement, that's why I hate it when he's been stuck out on the right. He's far, far, far from a RWF. He's a midfield worker who can dribble and can pass.

 

[SteveAWOL]

As I type that Lo Celso does the pressing work. A very intelligent player with quality.

How different things might’ve been had he not got injured on international duty during his first few months as our player.

Yeah I get what your saying but their sitting off with the press
And their keeping their midfield deep on Kane

Spooning is part of the training at United.

 

[Bishop]

I'm never one to complain about a ref but he's been giving literally everything to united but nothing semi questionable for us.

 

[MKSpur]

Reminds me of plenty of games we've played recently only to fall apart, then the manager catches all the flack.

It's worth nothing that we have been playing in games with some sort of intent and forward thinking (for when we concede in the 85th minute and all start saying how the manager is a dinosaur etc)

If we could actually hit players with a pass we'd have been in some good positions already.

It does feel like a decent start but we will concede their first decent attack and go to pieces. Hope I’m wrong but scoring first would be a big help!

Kane needs to be in the ref's face about this stuff. We're still too nice.

 

[Legohamster]

When is Son back from national service?

 

[Hashegotthesackyet?]

Can we not have it so when we type "TVVAT!" it automatically defaults to "Tyler"

or vice versa

would prefer Tyler is aliased to the original version of Clam

 

[Kandi1977]

fudge off you bent clam ref!

Won't matter. He's not wearing a red shirt.

 

[Kandi1977]

Brilliant tackle by Ndombele

 

[Mulletperm]

Ref's a bit of a clam
