I would fall on the sword for Son

 

increased width in this spurs side is something different you can see straight away from Mou, no more flaky diamonds. Son and Lucas wide with Alli between the lines will obviously help to sustain attacks (it of course helps that West Ham look as though they couldn't give a fuck)

 

Poch always under utilized Lucas for some reason. He’d only be a regular starter when we had injuries. But he is always good.

 

three at the back, 5 defenders from Emery at home to the worst team in the league. Pepe left out again. this man is a football terrorist

 

Snodgrass got mad and hugged Harry

 

West Ham is gonna rip off some team this summer for Rice.

He’s good but someone is gonna pay way too much for him. My guess is United or Chelsea.

 

I’m glad that wasn’t a perfect win. Don’t wanna see any complacency after one win lol

 

Surely Emery is gone after this

 

Our mentality is unbelievable. Even when Palace equalised I was sure we'd go down the other end and score.

Crap performance, elite mentality.

 

Chelsea-City is v. fun

 

Mahrez had easily been the worst player on the pitch until he scored.

 

Shame they couldn't snatch a draw, but at least it's a vast improvement on the 6-0 in this game last season.

 

If any UK people ITT are interested, BBC 2 is showing the Copa Libertadores final between Flamengo & River Plate right now. Flamengo have Filipe Luis and Rafinha as fullbacks, plus that nutcase ex-Benfica/Sporting manager Jorge Jesus!

Edit: two goals in 90 and 92nd min give Flamengo the win

 

LMAO Everton reportedly talking to Moyes.

Pretty sure it was Mourinho that wanted him. Have heard absolutely nothing about him since Ole took over.

 

So apparently Sancho is upset at Dortmund and wants to leave. I see some calling him a disappointment but he’s still so young. I’d be happy with Spurs making a move for him but I think we’ll be priced out.

 

If we lose today I just can’t see the point of keeping Solskjaer. I get it, we have him a contract when there was no real alternatives available. There are multiple top quality managers available now. Solskjaer hasn’t really worked, outside what he was originally brought in for which he did spectacularly. But now? We need someone better.

 

Today has all the hallmarks of a United loss. Newly promoted side, away from home, just as we're kinda putting a bit of form together. I lost don't wanna watch.

 

The referee has completely lost this game. Norwood should be off. Jones was fouled before the goal. But yeah nothing.

not one check of VAR either.

 

But yeah this shit is exactly what the board want apparently!!! We’ve been utter dog shit. It took 5 minutes for us to get out of our own half.

 

Jesus they’re absolutely annihilating us. Playing every single player off the park.

 

United look rather poor today, this year, since fergie left.

 

5-0 in shots on target so far holy shiiiiit lol

but yeah Ole is taking us forward.

 

In our defence, we barely have any midfielders to put on the pitch. Yes, it's a failure of recruitment, but we literally have one senior fit CM. Playing Andreas out of position and a 17 year old on the bench. No wonder we can't get out the half.

 

This is the worst we’ve played all season. Centre backs are at sea, we’ve literally no midfield. Pereira and Fred might as well not be playing as ShU are just walking by them. Wing backs have no idea how to ply this system. Rashford and James have no idea where to stand with their hands on their hips. Martial isn’t in the game. It’s a disaster. Yeah our whole midfield is missing, but our whole midfield is Scott McFuckingTominay. We shouldn’t look this fucking bad after one midfield injury.
