Feels like every time United and Spurs play each other last couple years it’s a battle of who’s more miserable lol

 

Maddison and Vicario back in the starting lineup. Udogie and Odobert in the squad. Finally some good news.

 

Average age of about 12 for United's bench

 

A single senior player on the bench and it’s Lindelof

 

Why wasn’t Jota carded for his dive in the box?

 

And how is Robertson allowed to play a pass back to Allison like that?

 

Is it just me, or do Liverpool get an insane number of penalties? Seems to be one a match and got me wondering what the record is.

Not even shade against Liverpool, they just seem to make defenders do stupid shit every single game.

edit: turns out it’s only six, which is still a loy but not as bad as I thought

 

Mate, how long have you been following along? Decisions like that ALWAYS go in favour of the hosts at Anfield.

 

Well it’s balderdash!

 

This is more people than I expected. They’ve tried to do some protests in the past and the turnouts were weak. This looks legit.

 

5-4, red cards, and punch ups please.

 

Looks like United are gonna sit back. We’ll see if we can actually create something when it’s congested.

 

Man, what's eating Son? Shadow of his former self. Is it really as obvious as missing Kane?

 

I think he’s just getting older and has been overplayed this year

Missing Kane doesn’t help lol

 

We still look a little sloppy playing out of the back. And I think it’s just going to be this way until Romero and VDV are back.

 

Dorgu elbows Kulu in the face and United get a free kick lol

 

What are United even doing? Insane play at the back.

 

Remember when Spurs v United was a barnstormer? Now it's pretty much a 6 pointer at the wrong end of the table.

 

The last few minutes of this game have been so ugly lol

 

Too many passes. No one wants to shoot.

 

Zirkzee plays like a fan who won a competition

 

I feel bad for Hojlund. He looks like a good player but he just has nothing around him.

 

What a giant YAWN of a match

 

Vicario and Maddison both looked very good in their return. Spence was our best player, again. Otherwise, not much to say about that one lol

 

It would be one thing if United had the money to turn things around, but FFP and the current state of finances leave a really bleak outlook for the future. It’s going to have to get even worse for a while before it can get better.

Over the past decade I have always been able to see where a little bit of course correction could get them back on track, but this is the first time I’ll admit to not being able to see any light at the end of the tunnel.
