The way Utd are currently playing i dont think the odd formation tweak is going to really matter! Coys!
Careful. They also seem ripe for an appointment with Dr Tottenham. We can either make things turn extremely toxic at Utd and set things off or we can cure their ailments(which we are prone to do).

Haha. Nurse Lamela will turn the life support machine off.

Not bein funny but seeing this id go all out attack.

--------------Toby--------Jan-----------------
Trippier---------------------------------Rose
--------------------Dembele------------------
---Moura----Eriksen---Dele----Lamela-
------------------------Kane--------------------

Hit em with a hardcore 4141 press. Moussa running the cm.

You know what I mean. Their style is so bad and I don't think they'll grind out as many ugly wins this season.

That's the hope, but Mourinho classically manages to find those wins. However dog they look, they still pick up points and do well in the big games...

Bittersweet defeat for Manure.

On one hand they were fucking shit.

On the other hand - theyre gonna beat us next week to prove a point, especially after the whole 'the wrong attitude' fiasco.

I reckon we need to play Dembele as the pivot:

Lloris
Trippier Toby Verts Rose
Dembele
Eriksen Dele
Moura Kane Lamela​

Lloris
Alderweireld Sanchez Vertonghen
Trippier Dembele Eriksen Rose
Moura Kane Alli

Subs: Vorm, Dier, Aurier, Davies, Winks, Lamela, Llorente

Might be an idea to start with Dier and have Dembele stabilise later but I’d like to see this.

United still have plenty in their locker to hurt us. They're at home, a wounded animal after today's defeat and seeking some form of retribution against anyone, especially a direct rival.

A back three with WBs (Trips and Rose is my preference), Dembele and Dier in CM, Dele, Eriksen and Kane. It'll give us width in attack and defensive solidity. We'll get our opportunities against that dodgy defence of theirs, but remain solid at the back. We can change things if need be during the game with Lucas, Lamela and Winks.

But do you not feel as though that team lacks any pace or running power (ie moura, lamela, missing son)? It would give us control but i wouldnt fancy us to calve them open with that team.

We all see it differently i suppose.

I would go for same team as against Fulham.

Really hope we can get a result up there.

I don't think we would have control with a back 4 against Utd at Old Trafford. We do see it in our own way. The way I see it, a back 4 with Trips and Davies will just nullify our threat on the flanks. They'll be pushed back with defensive duties.

Think we'll also need two CMs; Pogba alone is a beast. Dembele and Winks would be my preference, but not sure about Winks' game fitness.

I agree with you, we'll lose some pace and thrust up front without Moura, that's true. But, we'll get our chances against that Utd defence, especially if Trips and Rose/Davies are allowed to stretch the flanks and get into attacking positions.

I think people are reading too much into that Brighton defeat. Utd are still a very good team, and we haven't done too well at OT for a while.

Big decision for Poch to make. Lots of options atm.
Three at the back? Davinson or Toby? Dembele and/or Dier? Do you scratch one of Dele/Eriksen/Moura?

I am not sure what my preferred option would be but I try:

-----------------Lloris-----------------
--------TA-------DS------JV----------
Trippier---Dembele-----Davies--
---Moura----Eriksen-----Dele----
-----------------Kane-----------------

Subs: Vorm, Rose, KWP, Dier, Lamela, Winks, Sissoko/Llorente

This all day, but swap Rose for Davies please.

The last coupe of performance against those ****s at Old Trafford have been underwhelming to say the least

I want us to go there and fucking hammer those fuckers. I want us to just play our game and attack them. I think Lamela may play instead of Moura just because of thee defensive ability although Moura has worked hard.

I would play 352


Obviously I'd also hope we hammer them with a Harry Hattrick. But if we were only to beat them shit by the odd goal, I hope the winning goal is scored by Toby. Maureen will be crazy about that.

Id love that

or perhaps an own goal from Martial.
