Half full or half empty after Spurs?

Half full or half empty? So we lost to Tottenham, away at Tottenham, which isn't a bad thing when you look at the bigger picture.

Yesterday they looked like a team capable of taking a Champions League spot and with Gareth Bale in the form he is in currently they have a player who is right at the top of his game driving them on.

That defeat halted a mini revival that had seen United record back-to-back victories over Chelsea and Aston Villa, but it was always going to be a tough ask going to White Hart Lane and getting something out of the game even though, in my my very humble opinion, we matched them for periods and could have got something out of the game ourselves. No real complaints though, the better team won.

The question really is how does the defeat leave you feeling? Granted we dropped a place courtesy of Manchester City's defeat at Southampton (maybe that makes our defeat at St Mary's seem a bit better?) but we're still six points clear of the bottom three and four wins and a draw away from the points usually required to guarantee safety.

Did the defeat yesterday set alarm bells ringing again or did we show enough for you not to be so worried about losing knowing that we should have enough throughout the rest of the season to see us safe?

I'm in the latter camp if truth be told. Defeat is always horrible but I think we still showed enough to suggest that we'll be more than a match for a lot of teams we are due to face in the coming weeks.

However we're only ever a game away from disaster and suddenly our next league game against Southampton has taken on an extra importance and seemingly some extra difficulty following their win yesterday. Anyone who thinks that match will be a pushover is kidding themselves. Mind you, three points is a must.

So, how are you feeling today?
