Tottenham 2 - 0 United
Wow. What the hell
was that?
Before the game I
almost had that pre-season feeling, you know, that feeling you get when you
canāt wait to see Unitedās first competitive game of the season. I was excited
to see how Alexis will do with Lingard and Martial, just in front of Pogba. The
starting line-up was exactly how I wished it to be ā with the exception of
Young, maybe.
Bloody hell, I was
still adjusting the sound system at the place where I watch Unitedās games when
Tottenham scored their first. A bit of a freak goal, if you ask me. The second
one was even worse. I canāt understand how Jones managed to put the ball in our
own net. Iām sure he wouldnāt manage to repeat that finish if he tried another
thousand times. SO as much as Tottenham played well, the goals were lucky.
Having said that,
looked clueless. With the exception of one, or two at most, all of them looked
like they never played football before. It was so frustrating. When you know
youāve got players capable of producing the goods and then you see them running
around like headless chickenā¦does it get more frustrating than that? I expected
much more from the likes of Matic, Pogba, Martial and Lukaku. Well, actually I
expected more from everyone but it was one of those nights. Sometimes you get a
game when a player or two underperform, this was a night when all of them
underperformed.
It might 'only' be Tottenham, as Sir Alex used to say, but
they have quite a good team albeit a tad inconsistent. It's been a while since
we last won away from home against them.
