16 Conclusions from an astonishingly one-sided game at Old Trafford. TL;DR: Lads, it's Tottenham.
Soporific Spurs had Hugo Lloris to thank for only losing 2-0 at Old Trafford after a fizzing and energetic performance from Erik Ten Hag’s improving Manchester United. This time, Spurs definitely didn’t lose to Cristiano Ronaldo.1. The calamitous nature of Spurs’ performance on a night when the Tory Party was collapsing in on itself in Westminster sort of demands a website like ours attempts some kind of amusing pulling together of these two strands, but we’re too exhausted to bother.
This by the way is comfortably the worst first conclusion in the long and mixed history of 16 Conclusions but we’ll say this: it’s still better than anything 10 of Spurs’ starting XI managed tonight so… alright?2. “We didn’t lose against United, we lost against Cristiano Ronaldo.” That was Antonio Conte’s verdict before this game when asked about his last trip here with Tottenham in March, when a Ronaldo hat-trick condemned Spurs to a 3-2 defeat.
. It was total domination almost from first to last, with Spurs having absolutely no answer to United’s speed, intensity and movement.4. Before the half-hour mark, United had racked up 16 shots. That was already more than in any other Ten Hag Premier League game. By half-time that number was 19. We all know Antonio Conte sets his side up to cede possession and territory in these games and look to hit on the counter, but not like this. Not to this absurd extreme.
8. Bruno was great, though. He’s a lovely, terrifying footballer on nights like this when the mood takes him and game seems to bend around him. Spurs had three centre-backs and three central midfielders on the pitch and not one of them ever truly had a handle on the Portuguese or appeared keen to take ownership of that issue.
