Come on guys, Rafa wasn't producing brilliant displays of attacking football. He was getting 10 men behind the ball and relying on counter attacks and set pieces. Bruce is getting results in the same way with more or less the same team.

 

Hopefully the emergence of the Longstaffs and some good signings (yeah, I know) will make us a bit less one-dimensional. We can but hope.

 

Except that we're much worse with the ball now compared to before.

 

 

No we're not. We're the same. Your memory is playing tricks with you.

My God this is so terrible to read, as it is such a lie. Amazing how quickly the narrative changes.

The football with Rondon Perez, Almiron, Longstaff and Schar in the team was so much better.

Yes we sat deep, but when we got the ball we moved it forward very well and played off Rondon so effectively.

All been forgotten already I see. So disappointing.

This man Bruce is so ridiculous

Another prolific defender bailing our useless forwards out of the shit

 

Maybe we should play with schar,Fernandez and Clark up front

Our forwards do not have a chance in this setup.

At least the defenders can look forward to consistent set piece chances every game.

I cannot believe this.

Looks like the defenders really are up for carrying us this season.

This is just crazy man.

Another shit show from us. How many games this season have we played absolutely shite?

Every single one man. There is nothing happening upfront. The defenders have been bailing us out. Why people think that is a sustainable formula is beyond me.

Bruce will blame tiredness for this one - 3 games in 8 days, etc.

Great shout.

It's okay guys I'm sure we would have looked as inept at home against friggin Southampton under Rafa.

Hahahahaha ... I see we're back to blaming Joelinton for all our ills.

Get him off and put Carroll on again then so we can start playing the expansive football that comes with that.

The team sucks going forward and has all season. Deal with it. No striker will transform that until the approach play actually exists int he first place.

Messi hat trick.

Scores too many. Boring player. We'll have none of that at Newcastle United.

Jose led Spurs and Pep led City away from home and 6 points. Two gameplans perfectly executed. Doubt anyone on here will give Ole any credit of course but it should hopefully shut up a few people.

 

Into 5th now, 5 points off 4th. Players coming back from injury. Decent run of fixtures coming up to hopefully bag more points.

 

Oles at the wheel.

I've given him loads of credit. You guys look good.

Ole at the wheel 

Wan Bissaka is magnificent. Unreal defender.

 

Sterling has gone pass him few times pretty easily tho.

He's stopped Sterling a good number of times too. I mean ... it's Raheem Sterling you know? Guy usually consistently blows by people with ease.

Critics of Ole and Nan Utd this season have always said they turn up in the big games and disappear in the rest of the games. For example they demolished Chelsea on the first day of the season. They could win today, and very well go and ruin it in upcoming fixtures.

 

Poor managers get exposed against the lesser teams, as players can raise themselves against the better teams.

He's been without Lingard, Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, Martial and Rashford at various points this season. Yet for the most part they always look good. Thrown away a few results.

I like what he's doing. With better luck with their fitness and a few more additions to the squad I think they'd come along really nicely.

Wan Bissaka is magnificent. Unreal defender.

Ole at the wheel 

OUTSTANDING!!!

Oooooh! Crossbar that time! So many wasted chances!

The counters by Man Utd are terrifying. Rashford should do better with that chance. Great play though.

Lovely penalty. Rashford is on fire.

Deserved. Man Untd have looked dangerous.

Both James and Lingard should have scored earlier.

I know it's not a popular thing to say on here, but Man Utd look very good the majority of the time I see them. Think Ole is decent myself.

Fred seems to really be coming along now and McTominay is turning into a heck of a midfielder.

Cracking game so far.

James has to score there.

Give Mourinho impressive athletes and he absolutely gets the best out of the team.

He's got Kane, Alli, Son, Moura and Sissoko all in the team together today. Don't think Poch ever used all of those in the same team together.

Think it will really suit this Tottenham team. Eriksen is no longer as important and the likes of Lamela will now be way down the pecking order, never really understood why he played so much in particular.

Oooof! Well deserved Kovacic. What a strike!
