Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE at Old Trafford October 10

He had a great debut with positive signs of improving the midfield. I think a partnership with Kobe will be perfect for the team.

Game-changer for me. Will need time, but it's what we've been missing.

At least he ran and pressed and ran again

The whole team should be pressing with tempo. They are stealing a wage at the moment. I am ex-army, and if I put that effort in I would have been beaten by everyone around me. How on earth can these people look themselves in the mirror? I also ask the same regarding Michael Carrick. He is an embarrassment. I had such hope after last season

theworm26d ago

The verdict here Carrick not trying different options and stat makes Tieleman nd several players look like the fault He needs to get his combination right unless it just a matter of time before MAN UTD JOB OFF HIM

adnan.riaz25d ago

His lack of variety is really telling. Like, what was the point in Santos if we are not going to play him?

stephenjholmes126d ago

I have been severely underwhelmed by MC this season. I thought he was going to build on last season. He doesn't have the bottle for a top job. I am gutted, but he has already gone past his sell by date.

theworm26d ago

I'm just saying in essence if we need to run we gonna need someone to play the ball through Youri's legs always flat-footted on that one

S

stephenjholmes126d ago

I was hoping even if Carlos didn't get a start, Santos would have. Too keep playing a failing partnership, and expecting different outcomes isn't the work of a class manager. Michael needs to be proactive in games. Lenny was a good shout on the right (his best position) Lacey should have been in, and ditch Euri.

♡Reply

ericisgod6626d ago

I thought he was a little rusty but his energy lifted the team. He had a very good debut that promises so much more once he is match fit. Was still my united player of the game

E

ericisgod6626d ago

As fans we have seen it season after season. We have a decent one, one we believe is the cornerstone to a new beginning and that second season goes backwards...why? What is being said that leads to a TEAM performing as shades of what they are capable off. Do they get told "well the owners are happy if we finish 3rd or 4th & a decent run in the cups"

Yes, I think he has to start in the next game vs Atletico

epi2media26d ago

A very decent cameo! Him and Cunha were the only players prepared to take on the 'galacticos' of mighty Tottenham...To think that United are being outplayed and outrun by every team is shocking. For some reason -just like Amorin - MC thinks passing backwards and camping outside your goal area wins u games😮And Martinez, oh dear oh dear!

D

dancoombs26d ago

I thought Martinez was relatively sharp at the start but his concentration gets worse as the game goes on

♡2Reply

thetruthpersonified26d ago

In my view Tielemans was shockingly bad and should have been replaced prior to HT. Replacing Tielemans on 20 minutes would not have been unwarranted. On that basis, Baleba needs to own that place for now. Also I spare a thought for Santos. Did not understand the purchase, which is more baffling now.

S

stephenjholmes126d ago

I said before the game that Tilemans needed to be dropped. I wonder who keeps making the decisions to play him and Dalot! I was pleased for Lenny, as I believe rb is his best position.

♡2Reply

dancoombs27d ago

A strong half hour from him. His shooting could do with improving though! If he is fit enough, I would start him vs Atletico and Leeds

stephenjholmes127d ago

A marked upgrade on Tilemans

pierrelekat00126d ago

He was aweful

james.brooke27d ago

Another player who only looks good for Brighton in my opinion. Won’t live up to the hype, but he at least has an engine which Mainoo/Tielemans do not

nashtims26d ago

Well look at what happened because of Baleba and the running he made. Intercepted at least two passes and tracked back to recover and win two balls that I can remember. He stood out because he ran. Imagine ten players running like he did...

koladedare926d ago

. Last season I said Carrick was enjoying /taking credits for the foundation laid by Amorim but really thought I'm not on Carrick side. This season so far Carrick team is not in good shape physically. A team that is not fit can't deliver the goodies,he merited a healthy team, now that his in full control he failed to get the team in good

D

dancoombs26d ago

From a fitness perspective we certainly seems worse off than under Amorim

♡1Reply

stephenjholmes127d ago

A total letdown. Carrick is stealing a wage!

dancoombs27d ago

From his interviews, Carrick doesn’t seem to have a lot of interest in these stats. It’s clear from watching the games that they correlate to our poor performances

T

thetruthpersonified26d ago

ETH made the point that effort and running as far and farther than the opposition is a prerequisite and essential before tactics can work. Sounds like the OGS Holiday camp has reopened at Carrington.

We looked more of a threat when Carlos Baleba came on going forward.

pierrelekat00126d ago

Why take him off

tf23208626d ago

Fans showing what they feel with boos at half time and full time. Still not getting the selection and substitutions right. We have young mobile players who should be playing, and Carrick needs to be brave and take off the right players or it will cause him to lose his job.

jonny27d ago

Baleba decent, Mbeumo well taken goal but Yoro was the only good performer

dancoombs27d ago

I thought Yoro played well and was surprised he was taken off

joluscut25d ago

I have no doubt that several players are not short of football skills. However some of them don' t seem to have the energy to last the 90 minutes. Having said that I keep finding fault in the right back position. Every time the opposition gets possession on that flank it gives me the creeps.

S

stephenjholmes125d ago

I believe right back is Lenny Yoro's natural position. I don't think he has the body strength to be a centre back yet.

mckays201025d ago

A strategic change is needed in the starting XI.Why don't we try Youngsters if the experienced are failing to make a pass,let alone to create chances, forget about past stories when selecting players,let's give energetic, aggressive youngsters a chance,no need for regulars everyone must fight for position in the starting lineup,do not put them coz of names

Michael Carrick cause all the trouble himself, retaining of Radford back to the squad is a problem to the team. Check body language of some players of Man United

macnunbangura25d ago

The players need to up their game and be committed to the team. They need to sacrifice and work harder to get positive results.

clifton.rowe24726d ago

We are in serious trouble, youri tielemans does not look fit to play for us, Our team set-up does not make any sense, what happen to our pressing then getting back to defend? we are going to get riped apart by Leeds next week, twice So far we came up against man ciity, and spurs with 10 men we were unable to kill those games off, Not good enough.

ericisgod6626d ago

I feared this & said so in previous comments.It is defo Deja Solksjaer. If there going to get rid then it has to be done now. I dont know why the manager cant be blamed. If he cant get what he got out of the almost same team he had last campaign then there is a problem somewhere. Is it the club who advised there goal for the season is 4th place finish?

J

johnmartin.jordan26d ago

Either the players are not playing for their manager ir else they're just not good enough to wear the jersey. A bit of both is my thinking.

I'd rejected the Ole comparisons previously because they felt lazy. However, our current form is justifying them

United need to defend better and the wins will come! Baleba looks like the real deal - looking forward to see him in more action!

niko26d ago

I still don't know what Yoro and De Ligt, Zirkzee and Sesko are doing in our team. They need to be replaced by two strong central defenders and two strong strikers asap. Carrick can only use materials he's provided with. And they are not good enough. The earlier the Glazers/Ratcliffe/Ineos Conundrum does the needful the better. Or leave!

T

troublesomebigguy25d ago

Carrick is part of the problem did he really need to spend so much time and energy plus money on every single midfielder that was for sale it needed to be strengthened but wouldn't it have been better getting a couple and spending the rest on a defender and a striker who by the way we have not had since Rooney left

♡Reply

E

ericisgod6626d ago

You will NEVER get needful from the Glazers and, because they are hemorrhaging money, SJR & INEOS cannot be counted. Buying the club has become more difficult as the clubs value has increased & the money required to fix the assetts is also double plus the Ubuy it U inherit the £1.4 billion debt. United fans should look at a class action startinb with the EPL

♡1Reply

davidpat.curran7526d ago

Martinez not fit to play lately. We wanted Yoro to play, but at cb not rb. Tielimans still not up to speed. Bruno struggling to make the most simple of passes. Im struggling to understand what has happened from last season.

T

thetruthpersonified26d ago

Martinez not fit or just no longer good enough.... Has always been weak against stronger and taller Strikers.

terrygreenwood426d ago

Aside from the goal it was shambolic........again. Beeba looked a class above the rest of the team when he came on. Ineos should run the business side of Man U and have nothing to do team at all, especially transfers. Wilcox is useless and the average fan could do a better job than him!

T

thetruthpersonified26d ago

Agree fault higher. Also do not aim "fault" per se at Carrick. He should never have been permanently appointed as United is beyond his current level and experience. Cannot blame him for taking the job and backing himself.. Could a more experienced manager do better? Yes I believe so....

♡Reply

stevieb_one26d ago

Wrong purchases in reality, Tielmans is too similar to Bruno, Rashford shouldn't have been brought back, fault is not Carricks it is above him where the problem lies

S

stephenjholmes125d ago

Carrick is responsible for the problems with the current starting 11, and his failure to proactively make in game changes. He is reactive, (and cowardly). How about getting back to Uniteds DNA, and actually use the academy players. They can't do any worse than the current shambles. The fans wouldn't be adverse to it regardless of the result.

♡1Reply

rbrown08065026d ago

Carrick had 3 weejs to prepare for this and the players largely do not look fit. Tielemens legs have gone and must not play again. We are in a relegation battle. Cant see any points from the next 4 games! Time for change.

3 weeks preperation to resolve the problems, but in the finest United tradition we give the players a week off. Reward failure, expect nothing else!

john.thompsonbid196926d ago

Carrick has been sold down the river, the non-existent spending and quality recruitment over summer has left the squad lacking in depth and quality, which has unsurprisingly led to the current problems, Worzel and the Glasers need to go.

troublesomebigguy26d ago

I'm afraid to say that the team is no better than the beginning of last season and for many past season and when will the board ever learn that hiring past players as permanent managers doesn't work this is the second time we have done it we stumble from one bad manager to another and player recruitment in the summer was a joke

antoniosales445026d ago

Carrick seems overwhelmed, his game tactic was pathetic, as it has been since the beginning of the season. Games that should have been won ended in draws. The team looks like a ship without a rudder.

barryroberts7227d ago

Leeds next game away in the league we will be thrashed playing like that.

febced127d ago

Michael Carrick was never Roy Kean's and my choice as Man U's permanent manager. He's good for 20 matches, and then he must go on a sabbatical for 2 years. He has lost all control of this team, and HE MUST go. I'm convinced he has no verbal competencies. He's simply not good enough. Man U must replace him asap.

Yet Zirkzee was an improvement on Amad. Where is Lacey! Amad has been injured yet starts. Baleba injured but does not start! Where is the approach.. Neither or both. Not fair on Amad. As for Santos - feel for the poor lad. Also, missing why we spent 50m on him to warm our bench!
