Two games lost against Forrest and Spurs.. staying in front is pretty poor
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

United are playing one game a week. It would be scandalous if they don't finish in top four

So much for the days of "Lads, it's Tottenham" eh?
Tottenham fluffed a winning position against 10 men.
Yes lads, it's still Tottenham.

Yeah, that's not what Fergie was referring to with those words.

If you were offered 11 from 15 at the start of that run I'd say most United fans would have taken it. Still lots to improve on but going the right way.

His point wasn't that Spurs were weak. His point was that they were weak and therefore United should beat them with their eyes closed and one hand tied behind their back.

Which was true back then and they usually beat them fairly well.

Spurs were mentally weak back then and are mentally weak now.

Making yourself harder to score against should be the main aim of improvement. Conceding 2 goals a game and even Spurs who looked fairly toothless and clueless for 80 minutes suddenly found them 2-1 in front.

With 4 points dropped from winning positions in the last two games United are just two points off 3rd place and that probably says more about the lack of top quality teams in the Premier league at the moment.

Thon Zirkzee pure skitter

As bad as Zirksee was he came closest to scoring.

All round play was poor though.
