Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United

I know that you're joking, but I think that there are actually fines for this sort of thing.
I'd be surprised if there's not some sort of penalty for live televised games on Sky, too.
They've got a schedule to keep to and are paying a lot of cash for the rights.

 

Not a good start! Utd look far more comfortable. Hope we settle down soon

 

Poor start...pretty flat

 

We're gonna be behind soon if we don't wake up!...

 

Vertonghen loves Smalling it would seem from that embrace at the corner

 

Be nice if we could keep the ball for more than two passes.

 

Terrible first 15 mins...barely out of our half and not able to string a couple of passes together
Walker looks all at sea as does Eriksen.

 

We're losing the midfield. They're pressuring us there and keep winning the ball back!

 

First decent attack. Smalling did well.

 

Ok who is this team and what have they done with Man Utd? Pressing, pace and energy. Surely not an LVG team!

 

Kane should put that away, but he's offside anyway. Shame.

 

We've been dreadful so far. Can't help but think the Leicester result has knocked the wind out of our sails.

 

MP don't look impressed on the touchline...his shouting seems to have scared them into getting into uniteds half!

 

Poch does not look happy. Understandably so. Alli's been fairly anonymous!

 

They've come hard and fast out of the blocks because they fear us.

The problem for us is, we're giving them nothing to fear.

 

Smalling with the obvious hand in the back on Kane.
Ref might miss that, but the linesman shouldn't.

 

EVERY 50-50 refereeing decision is going their way at the moment

 

MF pressing is non-existent.

 

"Clever nudge by Smalling. Blindside of the referee."

Commentators. They summon such a mighty rage from me. Why not "Well that's a blatant foul!"

 

Dembele was excellent there.
