Man United Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[nightgoat]

Capoue for Paulinho is a sensible change, especially as it seems we're going to go for it.

Today's line-up: Lloris; Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Rose; Lennon, Capoue, Dembele, Eriksen; Adebayor, Soldado. #THFC

Excellent team, COYS.

Any other match I'd have Lamela for Lennon but he roasts Evra so.

That's about as good as we can field. My only concern is that a big part of our success the other day came not just from Paulinho individual brilliance but from his willingness to break forward. I'm just not sure we have anybody else who will do that.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I was hoping Tim might display some tactical flexibility today. Oh well.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

A rusty Carrick and Rooney? I'll take that.

- Dembele to eat Carrick and Cleverly alive single handedly

- Capoue to sit on Rooney and make him redundant

- Eriksen and Rose to make Smalling look like the inept non-league footballer he is.

- Soldado to give Evans the run around

- Lennon to roast Evra as usual.


Simple?

So is Holtby injured? Surely he can make the bench. Same with Siggy?

 

[ackie]

I like that team...COYS

 

[ackie]

What's the sub bench?

 

[Chris12]

Our bench looks pretty weak to be honest.. Is Holtby injured? Whats with his lack of time?

 

[Lufti]

Can't remember the last time everyone was happy with the lineup. Pat on the back for Tim

 

[felmani26]

Pleased Capoue starts and Eriksen out on the left instead of Siggy.

Down as a 442 bit could easily switch to 433 with Lennon further forward and Eriksen tucked in the middle.

Great to see Dembele fit for this as well - a repeat Stoke performance would be most welcome!

Did expect Moyes to gamble on Rooney as I don't think he could risk not playing him to be honest - make no mistake, this is a must win for Utd.

Looking forward to this but still with trepidation as ever at OT.

V happy with that team. COYS.

 

[Macspur261]

Good lineup by Tim, we can do it.
COME ON YOU SPURS

 

[carpediem991]

Wow. Holtby and sig not in favour

 

[Mr Pink]

He can't be100%.

That's what I'm hoping. They may have taken a bit of risk with him,

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

No Sigurdsson or Holtby on the bench

Siggy- meh but No Holtby?????- Getting worried that he's going to be sold- he's not injured and he's been absent from the bench for 2 games and Bentaleb has been preferred- that's just plain stupid.

Didn't pick up on this but good spot. Siggy's situation is weird given his intitial starts.

Holtby situation is worrying, he will probably push for a move.

 

[werty]

If Adebayor plays like he did at Southampton then I think we'll win.

 

[alfiespurs]

Not feeling too good about this today..SHREK loves scoring against us. ?.. Ah well

 

[Joeyboey]

Hoping for a good version of Adebayor today.

Holtby situation is worrying, he will probably push for a move.

Have you seen his quotes this week about him saying that he loves the Bundesliga and the usual "anything can happen in football" stuff. Worrying.
