What really happened ?

Just my interpretation of the game , first the choice of keane to play up front with vdv was apparently to ensure the game was not played into the hands of ferdinand and vidic, two tall defenders who will grab everything in the air, hence no crouch who wouldnt have got a sniff with those two, whether it was a good selection by harry to play keane is debatable, pav did no better when he came on.



For all those saying we looked like wigan ! well you are entitled to your opinion as i am ! we actually looked quite good when attacking, the final ball was usually well defended by united, but we could have done better finishing.

Huttons raids down the right negates lennon a bit, i couldnt fault huttons defending today because he did well, he certainly wasnt at fault for the vidic goal, the whole defence allowed him to power home unmarked.

Bale wasnt at the races today, he has been playing a lot of games for club and country and harry gave him three days off..............but united were aware of his threat and showed that by tight marking on the lad.

Well finally the second goal, kaboul did grab nani so scrict interpretation is a penalty, but the ref waved play on and missed nani handling the ball, that then should have been a sending off for nani, but gomes was at fault because he should have retained the ball.

I didnt like the way ferdinand was allowed to listen in on the ref and linesman discussion of the incicdent while the spurs players were told to go away, ferdinand should have been told to fck off too.

I can understand why man utd dont lose many at old trafford, their players go down at the merest touch, they are a bunch of wimps who dont like being tackled fairly and look to the ref by play acting they have been pulverised, and unfairly usually get the decision....horrible team.

Well in my opinion yid ! if you want the best from lennon then dont have a bloke that runs the full length of the pitch behind him, corluka brings lennon into the game more because he doesnt run much pass the half way line, hutton is different because his runs by pass lennon, and then usually gets flung from the right side to bale on the left.

what really happened, simple we played to wide , we didnt press, the space between every spurs player was 10meters , it was horrible , boring dare i say it, it was a boring performance, im not going to blame any player, im going to blame redknapp, because i want to see us going at teams not standing of or blaming the ref, the problem is the team didnt press and when we got anywhere near the 18 yard box we lost the ball .

Spot on INMO Hutton is great going forward but tend to encroache into Lennon's area they should play in tendon so that the right back area is not too exposed.

I blame the selection were too open, gaps everywhere with no holding midfielder like Sandros or Palacious, Lennon could have come in later on as an impact player as he has successfully done in the past.

Maybe Rednap is spoiled for choice
