Match Threads Manchester United vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Hans Gruber]

This game is all about Poch. Has he learned how to beat these c*nts away, or at least not lose? Has he learned how to approach games like this, to change his tactics and perhaps play a bit tighter and on the counter? Does he realise the importance of keeping the throttle on Mourinho over the international break and potentially destabilising their entire season?

Chelsea away last year we finally broke our away-form duck but in truth they could have been out of sight by half time. Likewise with Liverpool at Anfield, and then Juve and United in the cups he got outsmarted on the touchline even though we had the better team on the day. His decisions this year have been encouraging, but I'm still yet to be convinced he's truly moved up a notch in terms of his tactics and his in-game decision making. This is the one where he can prove all the doubters wrong and where we can show that we're really now a force to be reconed with, amongst the elites. COYS

Play Demble ,think he should show up and put Pogba in place!!

 

[Giovanni]

I just hope the lads execute it. If they do we win but we always find a way to screw it up through mistakes.

 

[cider spurs]

Anyone know who the ref is tonight?

Craig Pawson.

Bet he let out a sigh of relief when learning Bobby Madley was to vacate these shores.

 

[Grey Fox]

Craig Pawson.

We are f***** then, need a strong ref up there and he ain't one of them

 

[ShelfSideSpurs]

Think we could see Winks starting tonight. This type of match is made for him.

Wr turned up at Stamford Bridge and Anfield last year. Same performance as those please. Joint top with loserpool would b nice. COYS

Im hoping the win at Chelsea last season has given us the confidence that we can win away at the better teams. Player for player we are better than Utd. We have a better manager now in my opinion as well.

I am just a bit worried playing them when they are under the cosh like this. It could work in their favour if they really want to fight to prove the critics wrong. Hopefully they all hate Mourinho enough to not bother!

Would be a fantastic start for us if we can get a win tonight. 3 wins and then 2 games coming up against 100% records with Watford and Liverpool. Exciting times already this season.

I think we need to attack. We seem to concede chances quite easily when we try sit back (v newcastle and fulham).

 

[yiddopaul]

Have a good feeling about tonight's game. Kane to get a brace (he's all about breaking records and putting bad records to bed!)

may I ask, based on what?

 

[spursfan77]

Just saw a report that they’ve valencia, matic, sanchez and that little cheating shit Herrera back in contention.

 

[dickieven]

may I ask, based on what?

The ability to motivate his players and have them want to play for him. Also to get the best out of the players he has. Mourinho, and only in my opinion, does not have utd playing to their strengths. Their front 4 or 5 players could be very exciting e.g. Rashford, Martial, Pogba, Lukaku, Mata etc. But he seems to play people out of position and does not utilise the attacking options he has. As I said only my opinion and you can't knock what Mourinho has won in the past but now he seems to have lost his touch.

I know who I would rather have as our manager and it is not him.

 

[Adam456]

Always worry about Matic. Seems to play well against us (Chelsea and Manure)

But he's apparently not played in ages so he is surely rusty as hell

 

[gushayes11]

Few rumours online that Matic will play at the back for them.

 

[89Spurs]

We can handle that pile of manure, keep the faith! It’s in the bag, I hope.

[nedley]

How the fuck has Pawson got this gig?

 

[Adam456]

Yeah saw that. Moaner getting desperate if true

Always happens against us- must have been real shithammers in a past life

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Yeah saw that. Moaner getting desperate if true

Presume it would be in a back 3 to match us up.
