Fellaini being hurt makes sense, otherwise he would have been on at the 60 minute mark. All things considered I thought United did ok, was always going to be tough to get a result.

United is in purgatory right now. Results and/or performances have been too bad to get excited, but too good to can Mourinho. Not a good situation to be in.

Looks like he was definitely missing his main man

I could envision Fellaini elbowing Ronaldo in the head.

The fact is though, this is my point. You got square pegs being jammed into round holes and thats most of Mourinho's roster and then when things get dire he goes home to momma which is: 'Park the Bus and Balls in the Box' and hope Fellaini saves the day.

This is a terrible state of affairs considering the cost and talent available to him and no wonder the board wasnt backing him for transfers if thats his 'go-to' plan.

How much do you think he'd pay for Bas Dost?

And I cant imagine most of his players like that attitude either.

The officiating in this PSV-Spurs match is really bad. Spurs scored and it was called back due to an offside. Even the commentators were wondering why it was flagged and who they called as offside. Later PSV has a good chance at goal, it obviously goes off a Spurs player and of course a goal kick is called.

It's a UEFA thing, not a Canadian thing. They sold their CL rights to DAZN, so blame them or capitalism.

I don't mind it on my PS4 but yeah the quality isn't the best and at least we have an option to watch all the games.

Still drives me crazy that somehow no Canadian Broadcaster has picked up the UEFA Nations League rights.

I'm pretty split on them. I've yet to watch a CL game but their NFL coverage is beyond atrocious. Their MMA and boxing stuff appears to be pretty good.

It may just be my tv, but their smart tv app seems like an even ####tier version of Bein Sports online platforms. It is basically not even working for me and the loading circle won’t even go away haha.Going to have have to watch the games on my phone. At least I didn’t pay for this, I just don’t see how they will get people to pay $20 a month for this when their quality isn’t even better than pirated streams.

Well I guess it’s Europa at best for Spurs after that. Maybe that’s for the best, but so disappointing.

PSV!! Well done!

What did Lloris do? Was he drinking on the pitch?

Gonna be interesting to see what Spurs do, personally I'd go full tank to avoid Europa. I still don't give them much of a chance in the PL, but their chances certainly improve if they can eliminate a competition altogether.

I think that was questionable as a straight red, but I can at least see why it is (and it's my bias more than anything which would see it as a yellow).

I think that full tank might as well be the case because Poch doesn't take Europa seriously anyway. Focus on the other three competitions and see about winning a trophy, and go from there.

Spurs should have won that though. PSV is not good, and basically got a lucky deflection for the first goal and took the only other opportunity they had. Zoet made a couple amazing saves and Spurs hit the bar/post a couple times as well. Even putting aside the "offside" call which never should have been made, Spurs should have been up by a goal or two.

I'm not sure what is more frustrating; watching them draw this one or the losses against Watford/Inter.
