“Do you know was the result? 3-nil. 3-nil. Do you know what this means? 3-nil. But also means 3 Premierships, and I won more Premierships ALONE than the other 19 managers together. Three for me and two for them. Respect, Respect, Respect man, Respect” This game has two insanely interesting aspects: A. United being arguably the better side in the first half B. Ander Herrera playing at CB Both sound shocking but the first one is very true, Man U created enough chances to go into half time leading by one or even two goals, and the second one, was in my very humble opinion, a relative success. A 3-0 scoreline makes both those declarations seem crazy, but when watching and rewatching the game one will see Lingard miss, Rashford miss, Lukaku miss. And then one will also see the corner goal scored by Kane was very poorly defended and I think De Gea didn’t also deal with it too well, and the third goal was a Chris Smalling mistake, not very related to how the team played or lined up on the day but rather a purely personal mistake. This makes Lucas Moura’s first goal the only one where the team, defense and Mourinho can genuinely be blamed, and that goal didn’t even come from Herrera’s right-hand side of the defense. He both performed decently defensively and bombed tirelessly up and down the pitch for 90’. This game was supposed to be the sequel to the 2017 Herrera-led tactical masterclass Mourinho had vs Conte’s Chelsea, but I believe he was let down by his players against Spurs, notably De Gea, who can’t really be blamed, as he is arguably the main reason Mourinho even was given a third season managing.
