What Tottenham fans were saying & singing right after Timo Werner missed very big chance
Tottenham Hotspur seized the perfect moment to deliver one of their standout performances of the season, dominating Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, Spurs never seemed to falter. They controlled the game from start to finish, giving Manchester United little chance to assert themselves.
The significance of this win was heightened by the absence of Tottenham’s captain, Son Heung-min. Son was sidelined due to an injury sustained earlier in the week, and in his place, Timo Werner was given the opportunity to start.
Postecoglou likely would have chosen Wilson Odobert had he been available, but Werner ultimately filled the role on the left.
While Tottenham fans rejoiced in the victory, there was some frustration directed at Werner, particularly regarding his finishing.
Despite a strong overall performance, Werner’s inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities proved frustrating.
On more than one occasion, he found himself one-on-one with Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, only to falter when it mattered most.
It’s a pattern Tottenham fans have seen from Werner before—excellent positioning and effort, but a lack of confidence when finishing, reminiscent of a situation where someone like Dominic Solanke might have thrived.
The frustration boiled over after another missed opportunity in the second half, leading the Tottenham supporters in the stands to chant for Mikey Moore, the young talent watching from the bench.
It wasn’t just a coincidence, as the fans seemed to be sending a clear message to Postecoglou: they wanted Moore on the pitch.
In the 77th minute, the fans got their wish. Moore was brought on as one of several substitutions, and he didn’t take long to justify the excitement surrounding his potential.
Just moments after coming on, Moore nearly scored a sensational goal, sending a powerful shot just wide of Onana’s left post.
Though the goal didn’t materialize, the brief moment offered a glimpse of what Moore could bring to the team in the future.
For Tottenham, the trip to Old Trafford was a resounding success. Despite Werner’s missed opportunities, the team’s overall performance was a testament to their strength and cohesion.
The victory against Manchester United will surely boost confidence, as Spurs continue their campaign under Postecoglou’s leadership.
And for Mikey Moore, this match will likely serve as a stepping stone, offering plenty of promise for future opportunities.
