Manchester Utd v Tottenham

Re: Manchester Utd v Tottenham

26% possession, only 3 shots, just 112 passes completed for Spurs.

I find it quite funny that the biggest criticism of Ange - and rightly so - is that he's tactically inflexible, naive, and leave his sides wide open with his gung-ho approach. And then he wins a trophy with some of the most negative, defensive, shithousing tactics I've seen in years.

That said, I don't think any Spurs fans will remember or care. I look at them last night, Palace fans on Saturday, West Ham fans a couple of years ago when they won the Conference League, and there's no way you can tell me a top four finish is preferable to winning a trophy.

Really pleased for Son, too. Player of his ability deserve to have his loyalty rewarded.

I liked the comment after the match from the spurs manager that if they got in front he knew man u couldn't hurt them.

That's a damning indictment of where manure are.

Luis Enrique is the only manager who has got to grips with the defensive side of the gung-ho approach to football, and even Barcelona struggle with it.

I thought Spurs were quite lucky in the end as they didn’t play much in the first half, but stopped playing after half time and it’s an indictment of Man United that they were unable to cash in on such limited opponents- really pleased they couldn’t mind.
