Well That Was Dreadful

#1056 |  Ed and Daniel pick through Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham, a game United led until the 92nd minute but in which they played badly for most of the 90. The first half was as poor as anything this season, with Spurs running through United’s midfield at will. One side was moving, the other standing still. Carrick’s changes on the hour briefly changed the game, including a positive cameo from Carlos Baleba. But after Spurs were reduced to 10 men, United went into their shell and produced some more comedy defending.  Where does Michael Carrick go from here, especially with Tuesday’s trip to Atletico coming up fast, and a very difficult schedule ahead. Nobody at the club wants another manager change but we’ve seen this film before. 0:00 Match reaction: United 1-1 Spurs 2:15 Squad building and transfers 8:25 Tactical analysis: pressing and intensity 15:50 Accountability and selection 24:15 Baleba 31:10 Red card 40:30 Manager future and fixtures 53:20 Atletico preview and sign-off Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?
