Cracking finish, although ibrahimovich was surely interfering with play.

Nah, not having that at all tbh.

Kane very poor for Spurs up front.

How it has taken until December for Mkhitaryan to get a run in the team is just terrible management from Mourinho.

Or really good management considering he said he needed to ease him in. Depends on your bias I guess

davycc

A deserved goal by the Ukrainian kid!

Hugo made it a bit too easy for him Imo

Is Neville just refusing to mention kane have the ball away to leading to the goal

I think teams have realized that a good tactic seems to be to give spurs loads of possession and they will inevitably give the ball away in a dangerous position.
They take far too many risks

GreNoLi

Get on with it ref ffs.

niallo27

He stood on his ankle why is he moaning.

Bundesliga plsyer of the year.

If he was a youngster you would understand easing him in.
Mkhitaryan is one of the best AMs in the world.

Johner

Wlad doesn't look impressed.

GreNoLi

Dele would drive you up the Alli.

And yet one of the best managers in the world felt the need to ease him in. And he is now doing well....

That should have been a peno against Rojo anyway

monkey9

Spurs should have had a penalty there. Poor refereeing.

He's Armenian. Used to play in Ukraine though.

Saw the replay there and ibrahimovich was much further away from mki than I initially thought so it wasnt offside.

Apart from the goal it's been a sterile first half of football.

Mars Bar

Martial :pac: That'll be a while coming down

I really think the 2 of them where at it.. you could see that Rojo's shirt was getting pulled around to the front. Just the camera angle meant you couldn't see it

GreNoLi

Both teams destined for europa league.

And what makes you think he wouldn't have done just as well if he was given a run earlier?

Unfortunately we will never know because Mourinho never gave him that chance earlier in the season.

Jayop

Absolutely no way was Ibra interfering in that goal with the current off-side law. Nonsense to say so.

Absolutely correct, so criticism and praise of the situation is just conjecture. Both ways of looking at it are valid.

He came out and discussed this in an interview. But you know this already don't you.

Love those negative spins

I fear we will allow spurs back into this
If I accept it now should be easier

tayto lover

Good open game so far.
United maybe should be 2 up.
Spurs will improve in the second-half i'd say. They have to.

Cantona's Collars

Don't like these 1 goal leads,too many times we've let them slip.

You know its coming once the clock hits 60 mins or a sub is made.:mad:

Mars Bar

Mkhi is such a positive player. Think he should have played Pogba in there instead of Ibra

Jayop

Yeah won't be in any way confident unless we go 2 up.

I hope he brings in someone for Carrick. Carrick tired at 65 last week against West ham. Same with Zlatan. Get Morgan and Rooney/Rashford in at 65

Is Blind on the bench? Wouldn't mind seeing him come in for Carrick.

davycc

Come alli and Kane switch the fook on and get up to speed

Jayop

We're allowing them into the game here. Very dangerous.

It's happening again

Morgan maybe if he is tired

Mars Bar

We're shocking at marking from set piece

dubmick

Awful defending there. Should be 1-1.

sReq | uTeK

Jesus that's poor from valencia

tayto lover

Wanyama simply had to score there. Poor miss.
Poor marking too.

jamescd

Lol Wanyama

It would help if he was on the bench

Korat

There's an equaliser coming if Utd don't wake up.

Just give miki the ball

Must be a nightmare for defenders when he runs with the ball at pace

Your Airbag

Spurs starting to boss this half. Can sense another 1-1 or worse if we don't wake up.

Jayop

Bailly, Blind, Fellaini, Mata, Rashford and Rooney on the bench.

ANyone but fellaini on there.

tayto lover

Never a yellow there.

Rossi IRL

Martial been poor

PhlegmyMoses

Damian is so powder puff against a stronger man and gives us nothing going forward.

Mars Bar

Sissoko causing bother here

Korat

Martial has been poor today.

Jayop

A few great runs in the first half. I think he's starting to find his form in the last few games so I'd stick with him.

Mars Bar

Pogba did well there
