That's not an excuse, it's called a fact.
So again how are you going to judge this performance if the majority of our spine and key players are missing...hardly worth the epuc meltdown and claims of the sky is falling in just cause we lost to Barcelona.
Have a word.
No you have a word with yourself. Some of us can see we have been in decline this season, or bad form, whatever you want to call it.
What actually makes me laugh is...fans who think everything is ok because we get 3 points. They completely gloss over our issues. We have literally hardly played well all season. Some players like Dier are in atrocious form. Our defence has become terrible. I've never seen it so bad under Poch and this is with the same players! Compare how we were last season v Madrid home and away to what we've been like last night. The difference is astounding and depressing.
Like we beat Huddersfield and everyone see it's ok. I'm sitting there going...no it isn't. Last night wasn't a one off game against an elite side, it was a continuation of the trend of our issues I've seen ALL season.
Have we had a single impressive result all season? United away? Same United that lost to Brighton and West Ham. Same United that should and could have been out of sight against us at half-time. Same United who are on the verge of sacking Mourinho as they are so poor and he's lost the dressing room.
Some of us can see some worrying signs at Spurs at the moment. It isn't "just because we lost to Barcelona". That's ridiculous. Its because it looks like the wheels have come off Poch's Spurs so far this season and last night was further evidence of this malaise. Our CM last night like all season was non existent and our defence so open. Massive issues.
