That's the most glaring issue on the playing side.

It's hard to tell he's left at all. Which is the biggest indictment of all on Solksjaer's ineptness.

There's absolutely no identity to Utd now as there wasn't when Mourinho was in charge. You at least could see what he was trying to do hitting on the break with as much pace as he could get on the pitch at the start of the season. But he quickly went completely away from that to the unholy hodgepodge mess that changes by the week now the more and more he panics trying to save his job.

Mind-blowing that they're leaving Pochetino hanging out there. Once he's off the market F knows where they turn?

If played right, it might be only way to counter Spurs Kane and Alli. You dont have the midfield to control it over them with 2at the back.

The point is mainly that Solskjaer is just a reactionary pedigree chum version of Mourinho at this point.

We have no style or way of playing that WE want to impose on other teams. It's all adjusting and reacting to the other team and hoping it works. But just like the last game against Sheff Utd, we were still utterly outplayed bar a good 15 minute spell.

Seeing currently Spurs having most possession and having double-digit shots with 30-40% of them on target is not bad. They have beend playing well and their defense has been the only bad thing so I dont think they will risk sitting only deep.

Precisely the reason. The spurs defence has given him no reason to be confident of keeping it tight at the back. Remember, Jose will only attack vs a team he's confident of beating. Seeing that United only really pose a threat on the break, he's not going to play into our hands and have Spurs launch an all out assault.
 
Happy with the line up. Periera deserves to be dropped. Glad Ole went for Greenwood starting. And chuffed Mctominay is back
 
I have several bets on the match tonight. Every single one of them involves Spurs winning.
Every cloud has a silver lining and all that ;)
 
Spurs have been awful, we have been good for 30 minutes. Should be 2-0 up but it's 1-1.
 
Good half. Baring Gazziga having a worldie it would be 3-1 now. Just hope we continue in the second half.

In the EFL match Tranmere took the lead but 2 sensational goals from Chong have us 1-2 up atm.
 
Should have been more than 2-1. But both teams are poor.
 
Good performance/s all round. Pressed well passed it out from the back well. Created good chances and could of scored more. Some of Fred’s passing between the lines was superb my MOTM by a mile. Great to have Mctominay back!! Put Pogba at 10 with Fred and McSauce behind and we will be onto something!!
