First review after coming back from the real world. (School and social life and I don’t care about international friendlies, and the more I watch them the more money I give to the federations.) United are REALLY bad. I expected a Spurs loss but they absolutely toyed with United, which is especially concerning given that Carrick used to get results against teams that have the ball, now he doesn’t even get them there. Tielemans Bruno sharing a midfield won’t work, you need at least two physical monsters who eat up space in this league. Mainoo might be the most overrated player in this league, not his fault, United fans just act like he’s Xavi when really he’s no better than a James Garner. Mbeumo needs to be your 9, Cunha off the left, the Cunha 9 experiment loses too many balls and Mbeumo disappears on the right. The backline is awful, and if was Carrick I’d be pooping myself. Baleba is good but he won’t be able to save such a bad defense. Yoro was decent at RB, if only you had someone other than Shaw at LB. Spurs were okay. Gallagher works hard and should stay in the team but you can easily upgrade on him. Manzambi would’ve been the dream. Solanke or any striker is so important to this team, why De Zerbi was frothing at the mouth for a winger when a 9 is so much more needed. Savio is a project, Kudus is very good, and I hope he overcomes the injuries. Senesi impressed me, and Tonali finally had a good game. Gray is generational, and needs to be playing in midfield. Once the attack clicks the relgation scare will be over. You need a 9 in January, maybe Mateta. Spurs fans love to reminisce about Poch ball, but that style only thrives if you have generational finishers, ie Son, Kane, and Dele. Otherwise, get ready to speak in draws. Overall, the first half was a good Spurs exhibition, lots of good football with very poor execution. The second half was a good United exhibition. Lots of bad football with flukey goals. #CarrickIn
