Man Utd Thread:

[Milltown Row2]

Spurs got a great start and then managed to grow in confidence during the first half.. thought it was very even in the second half.. better team won and that's that!

I had a 25 euro free bet to use inplay, and used it to back the draw at 10/1 at HT, so was hoping for a comeback, but I thought Spurs were well superior in the 2nd half, in complete control

Utd had chances, as did spurs in the second half, backed spurs as they have been the better form team for me, at home 13-10 is a great price

That was dire and was more one sided than the Chelsea 4-9 reversal. Results against the lesser teams have been very good but any hint of a top team and the players simply retreat into their shell. Lucky it wasn't 5 tonight and it's really hard to know what to make of this side.

Lukaku had a good chance in the second half that was well saved by Lloris after that Manchester United lost all shape and organisation and were lucky they didn't lose by a greater margin.

They'd a shout for a penalty also I thought

Jose fails again in a big away fixture. His record since he joined Utd in away games against the top 5 has really let him down.

Guardian reported Fellini stormed off the pitch and threw his jersey away on the way up the tunnel. Must have been very frustrated at his, ahem, injury.

I'm still puzzled at how anyone can justify paying £85m for a player like Pogba and have no idea where to play him. And Di Maria before him. I'd argue Lukaku too, as although he's playing in the right position, the service he gets is deadful. He plays off the last shoulder but United want him to be Shane Long runnerman.

If United fans are looking to work out why they've been knocked off their perch, don't look at the Glazers and their spending. Look at this.

Beat by a top 6 team away from home, this  after 5 wins in a row and everyone loses their shit, Liverpool did the same and bounced back and will probably beat spurs next... City have just cruised ahead with little or no mistakes and the system they play is great! Like spurs and Liverpool!

Utd have gifted players that look like they are just playing off the cuff stuff..

Run of poor form by some players lately hasn't helped, results against lesser teams has papered over those problems! I think next year will see a more settled team, but if City keep Pep and expand their squad they will dominate again..

Utd with Jose is still a better team than LVG and Moyes had

In fairness I just saw a video of him hurting the knee and hobbling about so will give the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.

I think most United supporters knew they were off their perch once Ferguson retired. Finishing in the top three will still be a big improvement on that past 4 seasons.

Damning with faint praise .

They ended up off their perch mainly because of a lot of late era Ferguson transfer madness.

No reason they can't challenge properly for the title next season with the squad they currently have and the expected additions in the summer.

Man city are now on another level .  Simple as that .

Chelsea were last season. You're mad if you think what holds for one season holds for the next.

He made no reference to next season. Also he would hardly be mad if he did, it's not exactly irrational to believe that the team currently walking away with the title would be favourites for next season.
