Spurs v Manchester United: Match Thread

[mark87]

Surprised Tripper is starting he has been very poor recently.

Aurier injured.

Lingard in midfield is interesting. Dembele and Dier need to dominate Pogba and Matic.

And hopefully kick Lingard into row Z, my god he annoys me.

Surprised we aren't going 3 at the back.

Think Lingard will play behind Lukaku, not in midfield, maybe to the left with Sanchez behind. I see a 4-2-3-1 from Man Utd

Ah that'll teach me for trusting the BBC. AGAIN.

Pretty nervous about this - if they're on the front foot that front five of Utd will give our full back serious problems

 

[Indisguise]

Is Sissoko on the bench?

Shame about aurier.

Play martial or Sanchez down trippier's side and it's a easy route to goal for united unfortunately, he's gonna need help

Hopefully it's hard working tough tackling, danger tracking Dier tonight instead of a poor man's pirlo of this season.
Jeez he could at least grow the Jesus beard and hair if he has to model his play on him

I don't fancy a result at all tonight.

Disappointed with the starting eleven and, in particular, our midfield selection, but I recognise that we are desperately short of options.

 

[WiganSpur]

We could do with Winks and Wanyama returning to full fitness

 

[Gbspurs]

If utd strengthen their defence in the summer they will be a force no doubt. Some excellent players in that line up

You get the distinct impression that Dier and Dembele will get the runaround - not for the for the first time...

Shut the eff up Rio
COYS !!!

Yes. It's a dreadful, dreadful combination.

Did you see Newport County's scouting report on us? They identified Dier as one-paced.

 

[ReadieSpur]

Arry saying he finished 4th and still got the sack. He forgot to mention the fact he was batting his eyelashes at the England job before going to court.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Would rather see Wanyama out there.

Looks like both teams are going 4231

I'm not disappointed with the starting 11, but I otherwise agree. I think if our players were on last year's form we'd be giving them a real game, in spite of their strengthening. But I just feel that with certain players under performing, without Toby and Wanyama fully fit and with the way we don't seem to be taking the league that seriously this year I just don't feel confident tonight, so much so that as a season ticket holder I sold my ticket tonight in order to not screw up my working hours for tomorrow.

That's not to say I don't think we can win!

Massive game for Dier, was at fault for their goal at old Trafford. Is it a coincidence that Dier didn't play in our best premier league result this year v Liverpool. Must must start quick and none of this procession shite. Go for it Spurs. COYS

Where did you see that?

Yawn.

Yes, Harry is self serving. Yes he wanted the England job. But he still did more for us than any manager had done in many years and I do get so very tired of the endless sour grapes where he is concerned. He got us two top four finishes and a CL quarter final at a time when we had no business getting that far. He deserves more credit than he gets (along with other people who get uncalled for shit, like Robbie Keane).
