Giggs has played 10 passes. 1 more than Lindegaard, 2 more than RVP and thats your lot. Everyone else more involved
By the way he's 50% accurate with those...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Anderson needs to come on to insert some pace and energy into this game and he can hassle their midfielders.
I don't know if that's a typo or not, but what an apt name for his form today.Those medals have gone to his head.
noodlehair 1 - Elliott 0
As much as I love Giggs, but I agree.
Our attacking tactics for post-Ronaldo are kick it to the wing every time. It's so predictable and if the wingers off form it is horrific to watch.
This is no where near what we expect from a Fergie team. There's quality in the squad but some massive gaps. Wish we could have got Modric.

Well, that half was a bit of a surprise. 2 - 0 up and we deserve it.
However, we've been here before and things have gone pete tong for Spurs in the 2nd half, whether due to terrible ref. decisions or great attacking play from Man. Utd, or a combination of both.
We'll soon find out if history will repeat itself.

Will the old man have the bollocks to pull him off at half time? I hope so.
He's been lightweight bar first game of the season
I hope the penny drops for SAF, sooner rather than later.
Yeah, all of us and our pet dogs could see what was going to happen when that team was announced, didn't we..? Mind boggling..
Defense getting butchered because our midfield is slow tracking back. Carrick and Scholes jogging back every fecking time.
Honestly, I've been saying this for ruddy weeks now, Scholes should not be starting these games, its bad enough with Carrick in midfield (he's not the fastest). But both of them? It's footballing suicide.
This is what Liverpool should have done last week to us, Spurs are a bit more clinical today and are rightfully ahead by 2 goals. Ferguson fecked this up m'afraid, very poor team selection.
Kagawa wont succeed at this club if we insist on playing this way. He needs players to link up with and only Nani on the pitch is capable of an understanding with him.
Nani was mostly at fault for the first goal, but has been our best player so far. Please, for the love of god, don't let Giggs and Scholes play together, or at least limit it. Kagawa hasn't been in form for a couple of games now.
I suspect Rooney will come on around the 60tg minute mark in place of Kagawa.

Half time entertainment for you.
nothing wrong with the ref. We have been so soft in midfield. about as bad as I seen us play...at home too..
come on ffs.
So Newcastle away next. Ben Arfa, Jonas, Tiote, Cabaye, pace, strength and movement.
So Carrick, Scholes and Giggs again?

Not watching because you don't think we'll win is worth a point?
The sad think is that most of us dreaded the formation at Anfield and anticipated a bad display and it happened.Same thing, with the starting line-up and specially, most of us had the same dreaded feeling and yet again our fears are confirmed on the pitch
Giggs has to go off, I don't like saying it but it has to happen. Rooney to replace him and Kagawa to move outside.
Something to sum up our half. None of our players managed a single key pass
Don't we normally give spurs a 2 goal lead. I'm looking forward to the 5 goals in reply
Might as well make three subs now, it's not an injury is going to make a difference. They're already playing as if down two or three players.
it's going to take pressuring the ball everywhere on the pitch. anything less and its game over.
Watch Bales goals...Scholes, Kagwa and Carrick 30 yards back jogging...
This is the future...pacy midfielders will just carve us wide open because of how soft, slow and old we are in the middle.

I thought the ref was OK , let the game flow, missed very little.
My my, the match day forum is on form this evening!
Retire Giggsy, retire SAF?

You've been better than us and deserve to be ahead, to be fair I underestimated you pre-season.
After the other results today and a midweek CL match on the horizon, I could see a result like this coming. We always suffer at least one weekend like this per season.
What is even more scary is that MUTV pundits have said recently that Giggsy could play for another couple of years. God help us.
I know its a bit harsh on lindegaard, but its been some pretty dismal efforts to save the two shots on goal. He was nowhere near both and you have to think that De Gea could possibly have saved the bale shot. Lindegaard went down much too slow IMO.

We don't have the same class of players we did back then. The most important thing was we had the best player in the world back then.
Everyone could see this happening.
That midfield was too slow to cope with Spurs, who thrive on pace and counter-attacking.
Absolutely terrible team to match terrible tactics. Someone in the back room needs to be fired for the stupidity of this.

Anderson vs Dembele, the 'Better Anderson'.
Kagawa, Giggs, Scholes off
Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez on

getting bent over by spurs at home is fecking embarrassing.
I don't think he's done against EPL teams. But if Scholes is injured, and we need to rotate players in midfield, I'd still be happy to have Giggs to call on.
So he might end up getting a start against a good team because of rotation, but I'd keep his out of the big games if I could.
But if he was in central midfield his pace wouldn't be much of a problem, and he wouldn't be under nearly as much pressure. It would be building play from the back, he's still excellent at keeping the ball if he's not in tight spaces.
