OFFICIAL UNITED MATCH THREAD 2018/19 - Premier League - Tottenham Hotspur (H) - 20:00 - Sky Sports

Absolutely spot on that Billy.

The sad/funny thing is that anyone with any sense could see when he was appointed that given the state of the team when he arrived and his track record this was the inevitable outcome.

Starts Bailly and Lindelof for two matches. They're the partnership we really want to work. They have a stinker and it's a whole new pairing, with one of them not even in the squad.

Perreria does ok. One bad game. Gone from the squad.

A new formation. A load of rusty players all just chucked back in.

BBC described our first half display as excellent. Were we £#%&!! We played with a good effort and intensity. We were up for it. But £#%&! me, that should be a basic minimum. It's only because it's so frequently absent that we're surprised to see it.

The reality is we created little that half, our best chance coming from a horrendous Rose error. We also had our customary defensive horror show with Jones lucky to escape conceding a penalty on Moura. As brainless as Bailly last week.

Our main tactic was feeding balls down the channels to Lukaku, who would then smash it in to the covering defenders shins.

As soon as spurs settled in to the game, they picked holes in us and were clinical. They let us punch ourselves and were patient. Like any good team playing a shit one.

Our response was predictably limp, with our main plan b being bring on Fellaini and let's start lumping it up.

Shite. Absolute £#%&!ing rudderless, hideous shite.

We can't defend. We have no way or style of attack. We're lazy. Our fitness levels are shite. Our confidence is on the floor and we are a team of strangers.

And this is in game three of a brand new season where we should be buzzing at the start of a new season, under a manager who should be really getting the message across in his third season.

We do nothing well. £#%&!ing nothing. Any improvements we made under him have quickly evaporated. He made us hard to beat. We're not even that anymore. We've been well beaten by two very different styles in a week. We're easy to play against and easy to predict.

It's not all Mourinho fault. Three failed managers tells you that. We are suffering from not having a £#%&!ing clue what we want to be.

And he isn't going anywhere soon. Meanwhile, we have city and Liverpool having a great old time with their positive, progressive managers.

We just have to take it. Two decades of unparalleled success. It's someone else's turn now and everyone over the age of 30 who grew up in our pomp is queuing up to laugh at the demise.

Buckle up, boys. 'There will be more days like this'.

He need to actually score for us to see that.

Christ; he has completely lost the plot. Turns out the job is too big for him, nqat. It's the biggest job in football.

If its too big for somebody who has previously achieved what JM has, that doesn't exactly leave a wealth of options tbh

I’m surrounded by £#%&!ing Leeds @#%&!s at work.



Always amazing how, when United lose, people suddenly develop a keen interest in the game and want to spend hours dissecting it.

A price worth paying for a more attacking approach, no?

The sense of inevitability with united managers is entirely down to Woodward.

as for shots, if valencia's shot that looked like a desperate jones defensive clearance to touch counts.... stats schmats. spurs should have had a penalty and the best chance of the game was kane's missed header h2. then again, kane and moura should both have been sent off before either of them scored.

we were shit. soz.

When it comes to defensive sloppiness we more than matched Spurs. Lindelof did his best to hand Spurs a couple more & Herrera was at fault twice on the same goal, that’s some effort.
Agree on Moura red card given the amount of times I have had to listen to pundits saying “ reckless endangerment of an opponent “
The only thing in his defence is it was only Phil Jones

no way. he would have had to do something extraordinary with either those to score. not like an open £#%&!ing goal. half-chance v gift.

rather play the young lads now at the back and have them learn quicker playing for us vs these shit @#%&!s that have now been given so many chances. Jones and Smalling were signed by Fergie I seem to forget that sometimes. The useless pair of @#%&!s.

Not in this case. It was all there to be seen in his behaviour and record prior to arrival.

He wants to make this about players he didn’t get, that’s fine...but there isn’t a single player we could sign in world football right now -and I include Messi and Ronaldo in that- that I wouldn’t expect to look shit within a month and give the impression he’d rather be anywhere else in the world.

if they ballsed up promotion this season (which wouldn't be surprising) and we somehow miraculously won the title i guarantee the latter would hurt them more than the former.

how many of them were avid leeds fans before they won the august title?
