Two Spurs players down injured in United's box, most other teams would note this and pass through the lines and exploit the space vacated by two downed players. But Bruno instantly goes long for Rashford to chase, its overhit and straight into Vicario's hands. Thats the juxtaposition of Bruno. On one hand almost pulls of the assist of the season with that rabona pass, but he is also one of the reasons United wont ever climb up from a circa 70 points a season team. His complete inability to control the game, he 'chases' the game by persisting with hollywood passes. He will get his assists and some goals, will make the highlights reel and offer the mirage of being essential. However he will keep putting his team under pressure via not being able to control the midfield. No wonder Casemiro looks gassed, United give the ball up almost as soon as he wins it back.

Ive always had Ten Hag on fraud watch. Talent ID - shit. Ability to progress United from the counterattack Ole days to a team who can own the ball and control a game - non-existent, infact they seem to have doubled down on the Bruno-Rashford hoof and chase approach.

They are not a great team, and do not have the foundations to become a great team. Ten Hag has gotten it all wrong, he cant go back now. He can only move forward.

He needed to get his signings right - he hasn't. He needed to clip Bruno's wings, not make him captain and build the team around him. Now he has added Mount, another technically deficient player to the midfield, whilst there only DM is 31, looking a little stocky and not getting any help. Whilst Casemiro himself is also not amazing with the ball at feet.

Ten Hag = imposter

It’s almost been 10 years since Pep taught Ten Hag his principles of football. He doesn’t seem to have evolved since then.

Arteta is a similarly intense guy who learned everything from Pep 5 years ago. It’ll be interesting to see if Arteta develops or becomes Ten Hag in 5 years.

Pep evolves constantly. The others are always playing catch up.

Dire team. Ten Fraud is unable to adapt to opposition changes and responses again. Spurs stepped up in the 2nd half and dominated them.

United fans genuinely think 1 goalkeeper can suddenly get them playing peak Manchester City football.

Ten Fraud had it easy in Ajax and started thinking he is the Dutch Pep.

We learned the hard way when Bravo came in. You need players to understand where to be and move as well as a keeper that can pass a ball.

We need Ten Hag to do well enough not to be sacked, as we don’t want someone like De Zerbi going there.

The announcement will be "we've considered all of our partners feelings on this subject and need a little more time to digest their comments before making a further announcement that there will be a further announcement regarding a further announcement about his future."

That sounds just like New Zealand's current government.
