All these is just because we didn’t finish off our chances..

Rashford & Martial had opportunities to win it early but couldn’t.

Pogba’s pass to Rashford, Bruno’s pass to Martial... all putting them in an instant goal scoring opportunity.. Wasted.

Can blame it on match rustiness for now, hopefully it doesn’t continue.
Thank you bro, you get it, although a goal is a goal but theirs was 100% preventable.... any other day and we are winning that game.

It’s been a long time I’ve seen a Utd defender get beaten like that, with the team conceding as a result. And we’ve been parading Jones and Smalling for years.

you don't need much analysis to park a bus.

Did he really park? Everytime they attacked, they had 5 men against our defense. There was always an extra man unmarked from the Luke Shaw end because Shaw was dragged inside.

Magwaya has been beaten multiple times like that this season. Fortunately, not much led to a goal

Jimenez vs Wolves
Lacazette vs Arsenal
That one he jumped in without thinking against Liverpool
Then that nonsense he did against Club Brugge

And these are just the ones I can remember

Maguire is not agile enough. Van Dijk for his size is more agile, in the same scenario, he would have used his size to good effect, blocking the path to goal and shoving the Spurs player aside.

That's simple, it's seem ole instructed Rashford not to track back thus created a 2 v 1 situation against Shaw whenever he followed bergwijn with Aurier creating the overload.

Mourinho analysis of our team before the match shows he knew us very well. He made it difficult for us to play and utilized our weak side of the game. His greatest ability has always been analyze opponents. That was his job at Barca as an assistant under Van Gaal

If this match was played before Coronavirus, United would have won easily. For the first time we were being forced to pass backwards almost all the time. No team has made us played that way previously.

For the first time? It isn't like we've perfected the art of forward passing. Stop overestimating Mourinho with the 'reading the opponent' talk. So, with all his readings of over 100 days, how come they didn't win and could only escape with a draw. Abeg rest, let's look at our team and stop talking like Mourinho's team was up against prime Pele and Ronaldo.

It seems Bruno has taken over penalty responsibilities? I heard he's scored 14 out of his last 14 penalties. But I'll really love Rashford to be our kicker.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but AWB needs to do better with his decision making in the opponents half. I'll rather he whip in one time crosses in games, at least 7-10 crosses per game, even if the lazy Martial doesn't connect with any of the crosses, than for Bissaka to start turnioniown while attempting some funny dribbles on the byline. He's too young to be so limited. We need one of our full backs to really be a threat going forward.

You can state your own analysis. Mourinho got a draw from his tactics from a United team in form. This team beat City with ten men.

I like the guy and I have already argued here that he's an upgrade on Smalling but Arsenal home & away, Spurs, Burnley, Bournemouth....these are games i can remember from the top of my head where he made mistakes or got dribbled past that led directly to a goal.

The guy is actually very easy to dribble.

Shots on target was Spurs 3 --- Man UTD 6

If De Gea faced 10 shots on target ( correct shot), he will concede like 3 goals.

He said after the game: "We analyse United [before the game] but I don’t think it’s for us to speak about them.

"‘I’ll just say that I think we gave them what I think they are not very good at, which was to given them the opportunity to have the ball and to play in organised attack.

‘I think they are much more dangerous in counter-attack situations. They have fast people in attack and they can be really dangerous, but we managed to control that in an amazing way.

"‘I can even remember when the game was broken in the end where Marcus Rashford had a long ball [from Pogba] in the space and this kind of action but we controlled him very, very well.

So Mourinho was analyzing just Man Utd for 3 months, when he has 8 other EPL games to play.

Actually, that job was for Fred, but he kept drifting to McTominay’s position, thereby leaving Shaw wide open.

Rashford was probably thinking about the next letter to write to the Government when Pogba gave him that pass, because he lost it due to sluggishness, not any defensive genius.

Yh.

He scored this type against Spurs and Leicester last season, the pass/assists was also from Pogba
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 10:36am On Jun 21, 2020
Towards the end of the game, Rashford had the ball in the Spurs box 18, with Bruno by his side...

He became confused on whether to pass to Bruno or try and dribble his way through.


Around the 70” min, Bruno and AWB (I think) pulled a combo that left two Spurs defenders on the floor.. thereby making it 4 United attackers against 1 Spurs defender..

At that point, our players became confused on who should move with the ball, those seconds of indecision helped Spurs defense recover and remove the danger.

You can't give what you don't have. I had foreseen his limitations even before we bought him. I don't know of any 22 yr old unskilled player who suddenly developed dribbling skills.

The only hope is that a skillful and effective RW is bought, even though the new guy will have his work cut out for him playing with such a defensive RB.

This exact type of brain fart where a defender is completely deleted from yonder is embarrassing. Very.

We’ve been conceding due to individual errors but this one Maguire is the one stinking the place is somehow.

Rashford lost that goal due to selfishness. His first touch put the ball into the opponent’s path. And he controlled the ball that way so that he could shoot immediately after.

If he’d controlled it straight, he would have more space to squareplay it to Ighalo, who had already lost his marker.

There’s a reason he’s United highest scorer this season but has hardly assisted half the number of goals he’s scored.

Spot on.

We had several moments in the game where we found ourselves in a dangerous position and instead of pouncing and causing chaos, the players become sluggish and confused.

Tottenham always played with malicious intent whenever they got close to our box. It was the opposite for us.
