Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United

Man Utd taking the opportunity to intimidate the ref. Standard.

 

And now trying to wind up Alli. Dark arts when the normal football won't work.

 

Pretty sure Sissoko won the ball there..

 

Alli header against our own player, I think. Balls.

 

Lloris flapping. Herrera slicing, thankfully.

 

Commentator : “Trademark Lloris. That’s what he likes to do. - straight off his line....”

“And Given away”. (Also trademark lloris).

 

Valencia completely hacks Alli there, following through when the ball's long gone. How is that not a foul?

 

Decent move, but the ball's just behind Aurier. Frustrating.

 

So often Sissoko is in space, unmarked. United literally aren’t even bothering to mark him. Says it all.

 

Your break just before came from a foul, complain about that, did you?
Thought not.

It's certainly getting a bit tasty, how long before Aurier does something stupid?

 

Because it wasn't one, maybe?

 

Are you on about the one near the centre circle?

 

Dive by Alli. Needs to cut that **** out.

 

Deli needs to stop that

 

0-0 HT. Lots of possession, but very little in the way of chances.
Mourinho sent his side out to spoil and frustrate and it's largely worked.
He'll be pretty happy with that and will try to nick it with his subs.

 

Could go either way, Sonny has been everywhere, he wont make 90 minutes.

 

Fairly positive half, but we need to create better chances against a stubborn united defence.
Not sure how to change it up to benefit us in the final 3rd, but I would get Dembele on for Sissoko for a start. United aren’t even marking him which goes to show how little of a threat they view him as. Dembele entering the frame would give united more to think about and perhaps give some of our goal scorers more space and opportunity.

 

I think it's very clear who the better side is.

 

In particular Herrera who is a nasty cheating little twat!!

Not sure what to make of that half. No real problems caused by a largely impotent United, but equally some of our play has been downright shabby. Can't remember a game recently where we have have misplaced so many passes.

Oh well, at least Jones is going someway towards helping my prediction. He is just so ****!

 

In the absence of Wanjama and until now Dembele it's a good job we have had Sissoko.
