Match Threads Spurs vs Man United - Match Thread

[stevenurse]

Stick Sissoko on Pogba and we stop them creatively. Nice and narrow for the full backs against the pace of Martial and Rashford and we should be fine. Thats where Trippier and Davies are better as despite being slower than a week in a Turkish prison, they are positionally decent

 

[JayB]

The fullbacks are obviously concerning but so is the central midfield. Pogba, Matic, and Herrera vs. a shattered Winks and Sissoko is asking for trouble, but then Poch quite literally has no alternative whatsoever.

I expect that they will dominate the match, the question is whether we can make our chances pay and whether our back line can hold strong despite the possession they'll likely have.

I hope we don't underestimate them

We'll win this. Some of you need to stop worrying. That defence of theirs is shit. Sonny and Kane to run riot over Jones. Can't wait

 

[thinktank]

Manure have momentum.

This will be a fight and we need to be ready for it.

We have the quality advantage, but we need to put the right application through it, because manure will be well up for this.

How are they shattered? They last played Tuesday.

 

[soflapaul]

Verts and Toby. None shall pass! Hopefully.

Le'ts hope the only flesh wounds are inflicted upon MU players

 

[Mr Pink]

We shouldnt be shattered ffs, we've had four clear days since Tuesday.

 

[vAs]

I am confident, but we need to play smart, they are capable of scoring couple of goals.

 

[Bobbins]

I can gues why you say that having played Liverpool, City and even Chelsea but they were what they were but United are more than they are due to their confidence levels, hope that makes sense, it does to me.

United are a good side on a good run of form.

City and Liverpool are two of the best teams in world football and looked a level above us when they beat us.

Never in a million years is this the toughest home game of the season.

 

[cookiemonster]

I feel sick

 

[Timberwolf]

Not feeling especially confident and feel this could go either way. Looking at the lineups I'm sure we'll have some joy going forward against their back line and we have the better CBs by miles, but their runners and midfield 3 will cause us a lot of problems.

Think it will depend how well drilled Utd are off the ball and who takes their chances. Need some big performances today.

 

[yiddopaul]

It makes me laugh. Some people on here are wetting themselves, panicking, looking on the negatives, saying our squad is too weak/small etc etc, yet we still manage to beat Chelsea, we still get results. All our players, even on the bench, step up when it's needed. I fully expect us to play well today. We could lose, but equally, we could win, handsomely.

 

[dagraham]

If our attacking players are on their game I think we’ll win, but they’ll have to be because I can’t see us dominating the ball like we have in recent homes encounters against them.

Our midfield looks a bit weak with some tired legs and they won’t just sit back like they did under Mourinho.

Like others I worry about our fullbacks against Rashford and Martial.

 

[JayB]

Did you see how they played last Tuesday?

They've played every single match without any rest during the single busiest period of the entire season, because we effectively have three senior central midfielders and one of them has been unavailable.

I hope I'm wrong but I expect us to be overrun in central midfield today. That doesn't mean that, like Chelsea, we won't be able to get a result, however.

 

[wishkah]

Long gone are the days where you can put £5 on kane to score at any time. Never get near evens anymore.

So come on dele. You're type of match you angry bastard.

 

[mil1lion]

Utd are just attacking a lot more now, but they're weak at the back. There should be goals today. If we pin them back like we did Chelsea in the league we'll outscore them.

 

[Mr Pink]

Suppose it's natural people are focusing more on their strengths and are weaknesses.

But here's a thought. Think about our strengths and their weaknesses.

That defense of theirs is shit and we've the best CF in the world and one of the most inform attacking players in the league in Son.

They havnt been properly tested at the back yet.

 

[Paolo10]

So Rashford and Martial's pace wouldn't worry the same worriers if Serge/KWP and Danny were playing?
