Very annoyed with this defeat. It is clear we are still mentally weak when it comes to playing ManU. Pochettino should look at himself and his tactics as he has now lost all the 4 matches we have played at ManU since he became manager, conceding 6 goals and scoring no goals. Annoyingly, ManU were shyte in all those 4 years including this match. AVB and Sherwood did well to win at ManU in back-to-back years but Pochettino has undone all their good work now. Find it hard to accept that Huddersfield had just beaten ManU last week and we still end up losing to them without scoring.
Maybe we are a one-man team after all, as we have lost both the matches since Kane got injured. Our attack looked toothless and clueless without Kane. Alli had our best chance but he wasted the one-on-one chance in the second half. Son didn't look like scoring all match, always dribbling too much. Llorente again didn't make an impact when he came on.
Our midfield had a decent match but we lacked the cutting edge to win this match. Eriksen had another quiet match apart from the inch perfect pass which Alli should have scored. Sissoko had a mixed match and should have done better with his goal scoring chance in the first half. Dembele didn't have much impact when he came on. This is where we have badly missed the work rate and creativity of Lamela.
Our defence is more at fault for this defeat rather than attack. As soon as I saw Dier starting in defence, knew we are in trouble. Having Dier in defence is like playing with 10 men as he is a liability in defence. Find it annoying that Pochettino is in his 4th season as Spurs manager but he still not yet realise that Dier is too error-prone to be a reliable defender. I think we would have get atleast a draw if Sanchez had started in defence instead of Dier. Thought Pochettino should have settled for draw instead of going all out attack in the closing stages which proved costly. Also, felt we should have started Trippier instead of Aurier as Trippier is now our most creative player this season with 4 assists.
With this defeat, we have now only won 1 match away at top 6 teams in 4 years under Pochettino. Pochettino badly needs to improve our away record at top 6 teams if we want to win the league. For now, we need to recover quickly to face Real Madrid next in CL.
