sorry I deleted this before and still curious!
Celtic fan here coming in peace. Genuinely curious about where the opinion stands on Big Ange now? We obviously heard a lot of negativity so wondering if the jury is still out or are more fans getting won over.

Some of the football tonight has been a joy to watch. You have a few more spurs fans up north these days. All the best for the season
 
Ok, I was watching the game on a sketchy stream (so I missed patches of the game), but this was no doubt a really good win - and fantastic for morale.
However, I won't be carried away yet....as Spurs were a bit lucky, too. Yes, luck often win games...but Man Utd missed sitters: Casemiro (1)Fernandes (1 )& Rashford (2) all missed sitters, Antony hit the post and, let's be honest, no one would have objected if the handball on Romero had led to a penalty. It was not a stonewall penalty, but still...and if Man Utd had scored it would have changed the dynamics of the game.
But Spurs won -deservedly.
Vicario had a really good game - and proved that one can't judge a player after just 1 game (nor after 2 games).
Bissouma bossed the MF and was my MOTM.
Maddison showed yet again that at £40m he was a steal - and Man Utd must be wonder why they didn't get him instead of Mount.
Romero was rock solid in defense and van de Ven, after a rocky start, improved as the game went on.
But...the attack was a bit weak....

Today we haven't just beaten those counts with 11 players.
We have beaten them with a VISION.

And the best feeling I got is that we are just 60 - 70 % of what we can be

YIDS!!!
 
Just like to point out I think Bissouma is solely reponsible for us coming back into this game.
Absolutely unshakable dominant press-resistant midfielder. His calmness and confidence on the ball rubbed off immediately on everyone around him.
I really hope he is here for a long time.
100% correct you are. Absolutely fucking brilliant game from Bissouma.
 
When even you are bagging out the ref Bill, you know he's having a stinker.

Not surprising though, they all have a directive from the Prem to ensure that they give every advantage to the clubs with the biggest foreign followings.

Absolutely MUST protect the brand

Eh? They could easily have given a penalty due to the Romero handball and didn’t. Am I missing some terrible decisions the referee made? Booked a few United players correctly, couple of ours..
