Woeful by Bruno, should have been the opener.

ShamoBuc · 19-08-2023 05:10PM

Bruno gets booked there , bit unlucky i thought, seemed calm and he is the captain.

Uniteds Woodwork now gearing a battering.

sligeach · 19-08-2023 05:24PM

I seen the red card tackle by McAllister in the match highlights, I missed it live. That has to be overturned. Would VAR not step in and tell the ref he's messed up? It was high, but there was little contact, Christie didn't help by rolling around like his shin had been snapped in 2.

ShamoBuc · 19-08-2023 05:40PM

Second half should be interesting following the Spurs goal. Poor enough defending, nice finish though.

First goal for the club.

BorneTobyWilde · 19-08-2023 05:45PM

How is that first one not a penalty, never got the ball, and got the player full on and wiped him out

ShamoBuc · 19-08-2023 05:50PM

Maddison really controlling things now.

ShamoBuc · 19-08-2023 05:52PM

Spurs really are passing their way through Uniteds defence, Son coming close.

Look at the ball, Martinez never got it, he did wipe the Spurs player out though, caught him hard on the foot, how on earth can VAR not see it.

I honestly think they'd point to the fact that neither was in control of the ball, and the shoulder barge was within the rules................

BUT, it's a challenge that would be given as a FK anywhere else on the pitch. It's not a shoulder challenge. Steps in with the leg and everything.

Scandalous that VAR doesn't see it. Doesn't want to see it is more accurate.

McDermotX · 19-08-2023 06:12PM

Can't really argue with Spurs 2up here

By far the better side

BorneTobyWilde · 19-08-2023 06:12PM

Spurs have another, they're taking chances Wolves never did

martyos121 · 19-08-2023 06:13PM

Tidy finish from Martinez. 🤣

ShamoBuc · 19-08-2023 06:14PM

Spurs with the deserved second goal. Uniteds midfield have been bossed in the second half in particular.

Martinez own goal, not the start to the season he was looking for.

Rashford and Mount off and to be fair, they were pretty non existent again.

McDermotX · 19-08-2023 06:14PM

Mount looks like a player who is fresh to the league. Another stinker.

Utopia Parkway · 19-08-2023 06:15PM

Neville calling for more signings.

In fairness Bruno just runs around like kids in under 6s trying spectacular stuff the whole time. Then you have Mount and Casermio being over run 3 on 2 most times because Bruno doesn't bother getting back.

Time for the Norwich scarves to come out again

They do tbf.

Huge sums of money spent but arguably the team hasn’t improved.

1 fit striker who is Martial and somehow still at the club.

Not a huge amount of quality squad depth.

Just because they spend vast sums of money doesn’t equal success. United spent poorly as per usual.

They bought a striker.

BorneTobyWilde · 19-08-2023 06:32PM

If Kane was playing it would have been 5

Father Hernandez · 19-08-2023 06:33PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121001444#Comment_121001444

He’s injured, 20 years of age and completely unproven.

That’s not a signing of a serious club who wants and feels they should be challenging for top honours.

BorneTobyWilde · 19-08-2023 06:55PM

United sending out the new keeper to face questions, weird, that says a lot about their captain.

Kiith · 19-08-2023 06:58PM

Great to see Spurs playing football again. It's still very early days, and we're leaky as hell at the back, but the improvement from Conte is night and day. It's criminal how under used Bissouma was.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121001532#Comment_121001532

I've never understood Bruno as captain. Definitely not the leader type imo.

bingobango12 · 19-08-2023 07:00PM

Second week in row Onana has done media duty. Is Bruno still having a cry or why isn’t he doing the interviews?

citytillidie · 19-08-2023 07:03PM

Has that advertising board at Man City got bigger it is so distracting

There are 2 and they 'link' to make them even more 'eyecatching'. Very annoying.

Was like that last season, its a double level one. Wonder did they remove a row or 2 of seats for it

Widdensushi · 19-08-2023 07:13PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121001545#Comment_121001545

I think with the new rules about giving out to the ref , they knew he couldn't resist and would be sent off if he wasn't captain.

martyos121 · 19-08-2023 07:13PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121001571#Comment_121001571

Probably removed a load of unused seats and put them to better use.

doc_17 · 19-08-2023 07:16PM

As bad a start as this is for Utd, it’s better than last year’s start after 2 games. I think they lose a bit by not having Eriksen in the middle, he’s calm and gives them a bit more control. Sancho has been a dud.

I still think Antony could get 10 plus league goals but he doesn’t give you work-rate going the other way. Keane reckons Utd are the new Spurs…..that’s as withering as it can get from Keane. But if the ref gives that pen for handball, which I think he should have, then it could all be different as Utd are set up to play on the break.
