[Robbo]

Neville not being complimentary of Amorim's tactics...

 

[scarps]

I think with all of Spurs injuries it has shown Spence should have been a starter long ago. He's been really good in the games I've watched of Spurs.

 

[Calpol]

Casemiro looks too slow in midfield.

Neville slaughtering the midfield.

 

[JamesH85]

Fernandes does not like being out on that wing.

 

[Trusty]

Neville not being complimentary of Amorim's tactics...

Feel sorry for him a bit, set up to fail. 5 doesn't work over here, just look at Dorgu, he's literally doing lengths of the pitch. But at the same time Amorin probably needs to be a more pragmatic, plenty of managers in the league can't play the exact way they want because they don't have the players.

Will be good to use him on the right to rest Porro when Udogie is fully fit.

 

[shaf]

Neville seems to be pointing out all the problems but doesn't really offer any solutions

 

[scarps]

Wouldn't Utd be better off playing one of the kids instead of Casemiro. He is just so bad now.

 

[Converge]

Wouldn't Utd be better off playing one of the kids instead of Casemiro. He is just so bad now.

Probably will after this half.

 

[Fubsy]

Insanely lucky to have not conceded a boat load.
If this isn't shuffled about it will be a battering.

We don't really have any kids ready. Collyer is the only one really ready and he's injured too.

 

[Calpol]

Could have been a lot worse. Tottenham are clueless also but their front three will always look more likely. Plus their bench much stronger. Johnston has been good this season, far ahead of Garnacho. We have to get more legs in midfield otherwise this is only going one way.

 

[bingham67]

Had the chances to get back in it that half the bigger chance from Garnacho need to step it up in the second half.

Fernandes needs to stop giving the ball away stupidly.

You could do a raffle at HT and the winner in the crowd gets to replace Casemiro and it wouldn't be much worse.

To be fair, you could said that about the majority of Utd players on the field.

 

[Derek W]

Casemiro looks too slow in midfield.

I've not watched the first half since I was travelling home but I'm guessing casemiro is probably too slow to even sit on the bench, let alone the midfield.

 

[manic111]

It's all a bit harsh on Casemiro. He's basically the only player in central midfield today, up against a Spurs 3. Yes, his legs are going, but you could stick most players in 1v3 and they'd look awful

 

[adam cool dude]

We are going backwards with Amorim. This is just horrible to watch.

 

[Calpol]

Had the chances to get back in it that half the bigger chance from Garnacho need to step it up in the second half.

Fernandes needs to stop giving the ball away stupidly.

I'm wondering if Fernandes is ill also. He looks really rough and also lacking his usual energy. Not excusing his usual possession profligacy but I reckon he might be physically off.
