    I know they're wanking over him but apart from 1-2 these are all automatic saves for a decent keeper. The finishing is weak.

    Love it when a goalie slightly shifts his foot and commentators wet their pants.

    Spurs should have won this 4-1. 2-1 accounting for the goalkeeper.

    Fairly succinct exposition as to why Pochettino will (or ought to) be out of Spurs come the end of the season. They were probably still just about in the title shake-up before that, and no matter how rejuvenated United are, you have to win those games at home if you're serious contenders.

    Only problem is one of the supposed destinations may no longer be vacant (fingers-crossed).

    United need not to get carried away by Solskjaer, this is a rejuvenation, but is it a blueprint for three or four years of success? They need to put a new team together first.

    They will get carried away though and appoint him, because Ferguson.

    I think a "new team" is a bit strong. 2 (maybe 3) quality players are what's needed IMO.

    Edit: no idea how I've quoted Boyd there as well, but anyway. Hi Boyd how's life?

    Edit2: Pogba is fucking incredible by the way. Like top few midfielders in the world amazing.

    They should however we're entering Ryan Giggs territory here by not bothering giving him a pen to put onto paper.

    If you could sell Lukaku back to us at a loss that would be much appreciated.

    It's not even about the win tbh. If we'd played the exact same and lost 3-1 I'd still have felt a million times better about the game than losing by the same scoreline playing Mourinho-ball.

    There's positivity and something to build on there. Under Mourinho there was just shit and misery.

    You don't get to play the game another 99 times though. He's had a good start but I still don't see much to be fearful of. On another day it could have been a royal roasting and Tottenham weren't even that good tonight. It's difficult to see where he'll drop points up until now and their game against Chelsea too.

    It's surely the best football they've played since the Ferguson era?

    There is also an exact historical precedent for what is happening at the moment. You don't need to extrapolate.

    I just hope they give him the full-time job before we have to play them as that's usually when it reverts to normal/goes off the cliff.

    If Lloris doesn't make a world class save it's 2-0 and game over. We rode our luck but it was a scrappy performance where we created chances but run out of legs. Still need a couple of players but we're not as bad as Mourinho had us playing.

    If we're doing a balance sheet of missed chances you've lost about 6-2.

    Spurs would presumably have shat it at 2-0 and lost 4-1 though.

    Spurs would have taken something if Sissoko didn't come off, I reckon. He could be a bigger loss than the actual loss.

    United were well worth the win seeing as Spurs couldn't execute the only ultimately valuable skill in football which is sticking it in the net. In the first half United were genuinely the better side as well.

    To get up there challenging for things they still need leadership at the back, to keep De Gea forever, a Kanté-esque don in midfield to allow Pogba more long term freedom, and two full backs. They also need Rashford and/or Martial to turn into 30 a season contenders, or else they'll need that as well (Lukaku seems to be the size of Cheshire these days).

    Can someone explain why Rio Ferdinand is staking his entire reputation on defending Mike Ashley's Newcastle tenure? I don't get it.

    Richard Keys certainly added some lol to proceedings by opining that Benitez should buy new players with his own money if he thinks they're that necessary.

    Yeah but you're not allowed to take goalkeepers or finishing into account when discussing who 'deserved' to win.

    The save down in the corner off Tobias Alderweireld was a great one, but he should have made all of the others.

    Unless his boxing career brought too many blows to the head, I imagine it's due to his clothing range being exclusive to Sports Direct.

    Another goalkeeper (I've forgotten who already) made the point that a lot of his saves are "close to him" because his positioning is so good, which there's probably some truth in.

    We need a quality centre back and a midfielder for sure. I have faith in Luke Shaw and Dalot for the full backs but we need depth not named Valencia and Young. If we could get a genuinely world class right winger then we should but otherwise I'd leave our attack alone.

    Full backs need to be top geezers these days, look how much it has transformed City and Liverpool in the last two years. Shaw is a plodder in comparison, even at his best. Think him and Lukaku have some sort of arse contest underway.

    Shaw is shit and similar size to Lukaku (who is a disgrace). We need a full back on the left side and a centre back for lindelof.

    Ive mentioned this before but my on and off girlfriend knows little about football. We watched the Arsenal vs Man Utd game a few years ago and she recognised that De Gea was the best goalkeeper she had ever watch, because he saves the ball with his feet.

    I've just seen a 'Spurs losing to United is actually good' take on the front page of the BBC. I thought it must be nice to be lauded for your successes and excused of your failures but lauding the failures as well is just top, top stuff.
