Tottenham were poor and in all honesty didn’t deserve anything. No urgency too lacklustre.
I like Lucas Moura, he’s quick, good with both feet and always puts a shift in, despite wearing gloves ??
We never really got going until Lamela got himself sent off, even if he didn’t I don’t think the result would have been any different

Agreed. Didn't show up. It wasn't a derby performance. Not enough of the players seem to get what it means - Lamela does, but then he took it too far. I would have liked to see Dier in for Sanchez as he normally gets it as well. Lucas was lively but we left him too much to do. A world class goal out of nothing and absolutely bugger all else for 80 minutes is not good enough. We were timid and afraid.

I've always said Lucas was streets ahead of Bergwijn to be fair.
 
Spurs were rubbish, Arsenal had more zip about their play and deserved it. For all the attacking players on the pitch for Spurs, theres no link. They badly miss Eriksen.

You must have not been watching much this season? Or tongue in cheek?

Every team has done it least once

Starting with Pablo fornals

I don't know why it's caught on so much. How many times in your life have you ever seen someone smash a free kick under the wall? Three or four? It's not like there was a spate of goals like that, but suddenly everyone is doing this man-on-the-ground thing.

I agree I can think of about 3 in memory and long time ago

Must be something in it as everyone doing it
 
Rumours of Ronaldo coming back to Utd. Bagged a hatrick for Juve and on course for 30+ goals at aged 36.

Love to see it!

Alex there’s rumours of Ronaldo going back to Madrid as well. Where did you hear the utd link.
 
I was going to put the bloke lying behind the wall in Random Irritations - flipping ridiculous! Whay are so many teams (including City on one occasion at least) suddenly doing it?!
 
Noble starts means a return to slow useless football

Need more zip in the team .. benrahma or even lanzini would help

They said we need a set piece but soon as we had one we put noble on it and wasted it! Where as cresswell has what 9 assists?

I'm gutted he has signed a new deal. Another year of suffering his performances

No sources, purely from football gossip this evening. It makes sense though as Juve can't afford him and he's making them one dimensional, despite his goals. All Juve do it get it wide and sling in crosses. Rich mans Wimbledon with Ronaldo and Morata upfront :ROFLMAO: However Ole is such an old school manager I think Ronaldo would transform the Utd side. They need a clinical striker with presence in the air. Sancho and Ronaldo they'd definitely mount a challenge.

Perfect short term signing on a free with shirt sales galore. Great way for Ronaldo to finish his career infront of the fans that love him and the club that made him.

If Cavani is off to South America I’d take Ronaldo back for a swan song.

I rate Cavani highly but he's never been a clinical striker, always relied on his legs and work rate. Similiar to Tevez I guess. Reckon Ronaldo would be a great signing, love to see him in red one last time. Still think he'd get 30 goals. The Utd side lacks good headers of the ball, makes it difficult for full backs and wingers to pick perfect crosses instead of putting them into the danger zones.
 
Don't dither on the ball in a derby, welcome to England!

Seriously, awful challenge and a ban incoming. Although congratulations to VAR for picking up on it :unsure::rolleyes:
