The quality of the first 3 games have been appalling. Fitness or lack of crowd ?

Bit of both I think

Bit of both. It will pick up over the next week or so.

Mixture of both I think. It's like the early season games but they haven't even been able to full train until fairly recently so it's to be expected. Lack of crowd will just make it worse.

Maguire is generally fine but obviously he's not going to fare well against fast agile players, has to be careful.

Well he’s a poor defender then. Top defenders realise when they’re outpaced and use their football brain to position themselves properly.

That's what he normally does.

Normally he is quite good at it but was a total deer in headlights at that moment.

I mean really. That wasn't even as bad as Lemelas foul earlier. How can refs be so massively inconsistent.

He had yards on him. He's a bang average defender.

Standard Moss reffing so far, ignores foul after foul from Lamela then whips out the yellow as soon as he can for us

Would love to hear refs explain those sort of decisions.

They should publish refs reports on the PL website

Decent first half, save for Maguire and De Gea making a mess of things.

 

[adam cool dude]

Always the story this season. Just when you think we have turned a corner this happens. Spurs have done nothing of note bar the goal.

Rob calling out bad defending after last nights game

Just seen the goal - is Roy Keane punditing tonight? He'll be spitting feathers if so!

What happened in the League 2 playoff?

Haha, my question has been answered!

Difference is that I admit our defence is crap.

Told you Keane would be reassuring
