OMT - TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Man U

Good game, I can't single out a bad individual performance tbh. Jan could have done better, but all in all, a good performance. Still waiting for Armchair to completely trash our performance.

I love Jan, but how we need a proper left back. Every team will target that side and put us under pressure. And then Jan could play CB too!
 
Happy with the result, but also slightly disappointing that we didn´t manage to capitalise on our chances.

Overall mostly glad that we finally looked capable of piecing together some decent offensive play. There´s certainly a lot of positives to build on in this game, and it should give the team a bit of confidence.
 
**** result. 2 points lost. Loris is a very average keeper, what's happened to Townsend? ****!!

Looks like we've got some sturdy replacements doing the job for him.

He does? Then why doesn't he get picked for Spain?

He did, before moving to another country where he has to settle. To be fair to Bobby, he had ****ty support so far and we can't expect a striker to connect 100% of the time surely. If strikers do not score, they will struggle. I think once he starts banging them in, he'll be right up there. Oh and he's not suited for a 4-5-1, he plays 2nd striker usually.

Mike Dean has given ManU one point today. That penalty should never be given..and it couldn't have come at a worst time for us.

Where Mike Dean helped Manure was in not giving them yellows when they deserved them - Valencia leading with an elbow, Vidic with multiple fouls before his yellow.
 
We were undone by individual errors. Again. Lloris, as I mentioned after the City game, is having his annus horribilis, where everything just goes against him. Last year, opponents were unnerved by him and his speed when rushing out of goal: this year, they've adapted to handle him, as evidenced by not one but two United players always rushing to close him down when he had the ball (due to the hope that he would scramble away a poor kick like he did against City) and Welbeck waiting for him to rush out and trying to go around him rather than shoot at him. Walker was great, barring one awful error. Chiriches was great, barring some heart-stopping moments of indecision. And on, and on, and on.

Why we make such elementary errors, why we lose concentration so easily (see Rooney's opportunistic movement versus Walker's astonishment at the ball coming to him, causing that confused back-flick that led to Rooney's goal), I do not know. What I do know is that they are costing us, one way or another. Either the system works well (very rarely, like today) and the players let themselves down, or the system works badly and the players also let themselves down (see City), leading to a disaster. Either way, it prevents us fully realizing our potential.

Sigh. Good point, all things considered. Should have been three, though. And this is, I feel, just a stay of execution for AVB: Six points absolutely, positively, uncompromisingly needed from Fulham and Sunderland. Anything less and I can see Levy getting itchy fingers, which is a shame.

At least the team fought hard and did their duty to the shirt, and at least we finally got a little spark out of Soldado, even if it wasn't much in the overall scheme of things.

Onwards and upwards.

(P.S: Taking off Lennon, who was comfortably roasting Evra, and putting on Townsend, who proceeded to give the ball away, take several exceedingly heavy touches and cut-back onto his left-foot to cross (granting Vidic and co. all the time in the world to adjust their position) was baffling, the one bad decision by AVB today. Townsend could have been useful, but on the left, not the right.)

This is more like the old Spurs. Do enough to win, look good in periods, but killed off by bad luck/simple mistakes/**** referees.
 
Match summed all that is wrong with avb and i want him gone, not joking he is not a spurs man. Im decided i do not rate the guy, now im off to the garden to work on my mosaic.
