Game On tonight. Fortress Old Trafford is not what it was so Spurs will be coming for a Win. |

Changes as expected   There are rumours that Matic will be in a back three, possible looking at the lineup. |

I indicated that Tottenham were Hot Potatoes ( Hotspud ) and Fortress Old Trafford is like an Ice Cream Cake in the Sun under Moaning Mo. Maybe we should have a side competition to predict the date The Board finally says ENOUGH.

Eh...
The first half was actually not too bad, probably the best we’ve played under Mourinho for a while I know it’s not saying much but still. Looking at the teamsheet everyone thought we would be parking the bus but we didn’t we tried to play on the front foot, had good possession, created openings and off the ball we were pretty lively too.
Perhaps deserved to go into the break at least one up.
Second half we got sucker punched by two quick goals and it all went to pot.
The majority of players put in the effort and perhaps are still willing to play for him somewhat but when the worst performers are the ones signed by the manager then we’ve got huge problems.
Looks like he’s staying for now so I hope we build on the first half, he needs to pick a team/system and stick with it (providing it doesn’t feature Lindelof), build some cohesion and chemistry between the players, having a clear strategy for attack and defence instead of chopping and changing game by game. Defence might not be great shakes but the attack has what 200m+ worth of top quality, he needs to get much more from it, goals win you games.

Sack him now and save the misery to be honest. If the players and the fans don't buy in then what is the point really. Defence is rubbish and pretty much none of them barring Bailly and maybe Jones should be near a starting lineup. We need big changes there (and that includes fullbacks).

Jones Spens? His shove on Moura in the box would've been a peno any other day because his starting position was all wrong plus he never even left the ground defending the corner giving Kane a clear header for their first.
Saying that though that would never even been a corner if Pogba had followed his man into our box instead of trotting back at his leisure
