Neville spot on about our lack of belief.

Hope Pochettino has spoken to the players about this.

Throw the kitchen sink and don't die wondering.

Great team by poch!

Dont see much in there side and unless we concede mistakes we should be fine. If they go 4231 i think we will boss them.

That United line-up has two attacking players. At home. To Spurs

Imagine saying that 10 years ago, you'd be crucified. Mourinho is just ruining that club, I don't know how United fans put up with this shit.
TBF when we we were linked with Fred he was a winger and Herrera is good at moving the ball

On paper we have the better team with some decent options to change it up from the bench aswell.

Like most on here my scepticism about us getting any sort of a result stems from our horrible record there.

The crazy thing here is that they (United) really cannot afford to lose here with all the negativity around their club and Manager at the minute and yet it looks like they have set up to contain us.

Having said that I expect they will push Pogba up around Lukaku and, if he has one of his good games, that will cause us problems.

Really tough to call so I'll stick my neck out and say 1-1 draw!

Wish we had made a statement and put Lloris on the bench. I have to wonder if he has his mind 100% on the game today.

Why do people keep saying this? It's just totally counter productive dropping one of our best players for an off the field incident.

Let the club deal with it internally and move on.

Probably the strongest team we can possibly Deploy, minus lamela but I get I'm in the minority on that one.

Be a gut punch if we loose, especially meekly . To what looks like quite an average united

Did you see the WC semi final game? Pogba bossed him like a school teacher
Nuff exaggeration me thinks. It was only one mistake Dembele made but unfortunately led to the goal. Had that play against Pogba had come off, you would crowing

I remember Chelsea doing the same thing a couple seasons back in a semi against us, it might've been the same game as the Son at left back fiasco. Either way I remember looking at their team sheet and thinking "negative pricks, they're there for the taking", they weren't, we lost, I avoided football for a week.

this evening will be cagey and we live or die by a piece of brilliance or a mistake.

We have to stop giving away shitty goals in these big games. Everyone blames MD for the Sanchez equaliser at Wembley, but it was a turnover on the touchline 25 yards out and we still had four defenders behind the ball. Davies and Vorm were terrible for the winner. Otherwise there was nothing in the game. The DDG hoof that Martial buried at their place. Can't be conceding that either.

Nothing wrong with a point tonight. Bite.

Lamela has a case to play for sure but he's also proven to be a brillaint impact sub when called upon, his hustling of the back four must be a nightmare for tired legs.

Most of you seem to underrate the strength of Manu's line up. Let's hope it doesnt come back to bite you all in the ass.
