Backlash?

We are been destroyed.

They will score before we will.

Jax Teller

That's were a holding midfielder would have been handy for that goal .

barone

utd finally getting what they deserve from a game this season, lets hope spurs can keep it up

Soldie

United being tactically outclassed for the umpteenth time this season.

seriousfizz

Lindegaard not exactly outstanding, either. Looked a bit flat footed for that second goal.

supersean1999

fergie for the chop

Kerrydude1981

This is shocking so far from Utd,getting over run and dont look like making any chances either,this one up front will have to go
Scholes and Carrick are sitting too deep need to get Anderson or Cleverly on to push up and put pressure on the Spurs midfield because they are running the show and doing what they like with the ball

TheDoc

Said it last week, Giggs in midfield is makes things to slow.

Need an injection of pace in the midfield, and a serious engine. Andersson for Giggs ASAP.

Not to sound like a knee jerk reaction, but thats two in two that Giggs has looked laboured in the midfield. If we arnt going to trust Anderson or Clevelry then we are nackered, need injection in there, ASAP

Ah don't be trollin' the poor man u fans. They are about to experience Pool fans' nightmare the past decade

supersean1999

toxic stuff

nkay1985

I also think De Gea would have made a much better go of saving Bale's shot. I know it was hit across the keeper and was pretty accurate but had very little power. Just don't rate Lindegaard highly enough to have him as our main keeper.

Mr.Crinklewood

The only hope we have is if someone ties Dembele's laces together.

supersean1999

the league cup team was better, more pace and bite

Cantona's Collars

Haven't seen a midfield as slow since that episode of Father Ted.We move the ball forward so slowly it's unreal-all Spurs have to do is sit back,wait for a mistake then cut through us on the counter.

He always looks flat footed, most of the goals he concedes, you always get the impression that another keeper would have saved it. DDG would be right to feel like he has got a raw deal this season; one mistake, after a lot of good saves, and he is banished from the side.

Professey Chin

Can we have a do-over and play the lineup from Wednesday instead?

Pudsy33

What the **** is with this long ball ****e we have resorted to? We have excellent ballplayers out there, ****ing use them!

Quandary

This is an embarrassment .

But not at all surprising given the starting 11.

What a signing Dembele would have been for us, but oh no, we have 2 midfielders closer to 40 than 30 who supply all the energy we need. Fcuking laughable.

At least bring Ando on in place of Giggs FFS. He had a good game against Newcastle midweek and might be able to offer some strength against Sandro and Dembele.

Kiith

Probably should have been a peno there.

TheDoc

That looked a peno

The_Kew_Tour

Peno all day

JaMarcus Hustle

What's the bets Giggs stays on the field.

Mikeyt086

Stone wall pen.

Would have missed it anyway.

nkay1985

Could have been given alright. Nani does himself no favours though.

Cantona's Collars

How can we attack at pace when we have 2 players heading for 40 & a midfielder who can't run & just passes the ball 5 yards sideways or backwards.
If anyone says "sure that's Carrick's job" can feck off.He has no drive in that midfield area.

upandcumming

Penalty. Never stonewall but a penalty. Very hard for ref to see though.

PhlegmyMoses

Spurs get away with it. Ref couldn't see it tbf but the lino should have.

Fergie is going to throw strikers at this problem rather than making a tactical change. I hope Giggs is the player taken off.

davycc

get up nani ya diving litte scrote!

Professey Chin

And thats why we dont see the best of Kag. He has to come so deep to even get the fcuking ball

Prick!

Painful to watch, I've switched off.

Sgt Pepper 64

Loving this - move over Manchester, London is back!

Soldie

Do the United midfielders all hate each other? Whenever Scholes has the ball, Carrick is nowhere to be seen to link up with him, and vice versa. This performance is embarrassing.

IvySlayer

Fergie is ANGRY!

smokedeels

Getting p1ssed on in midfield, never mind, our superfluous army of strikers are warming up.

Painful to watch.

everdead.ie

Great first half fair enough Nani should of had a penalty but I imagine that'll be evened out at some stage in the game.

Wonder what the odds on a United 5-2 win is?

Scorpion Sting

The United boys better be prepared for the hairdryer at halftime.

Cantona's Collars

Some boos at half time-deserved in my opinion.

tbf what can the players do if the tactics and the line-up are wrong.

It should be Fergie getting the hairdryer.

Red Crow

Ferguson has to take the blame for this. The team has been horrible this year.

Rooney and Welbeck on, Giggs and Kagawa off.

Best we have seen from Kagawa was that game against Fulham,playing with Cleverly and Anderson that day suited him,high tempo quick passing,ever since that game Utd just cant seem to get him on the ball enough,he is making the runs but for some reason he isnt getting the ball.

Mikeyt086

St.Pepper = Boris Johnson. It finally all makes sense.

Haha I believe it was 500/1 last time they've learned their lesson!

Nailz

Slow. That's the word, isn't it? Take off Giggs, he's too slow and lacks so much energy, he should've retired during the summer if I'm honest. Put Kagawa out left, play Rooney up beside RVP, and maybe even put Anderson on to make up for the total lack of strength and energy.

killwill

Outplayed and outmuscled nearly everywhere on the pitch. Last 10mins were an improvement but I see United conceding more here if the don't buck up.

Drop Giggs, put Kagawa on the left.
Bring on Rooney and play him behind RVP.
