Match Threads Man Utd vs Spurs

You new here?

I wonder if he couldn't have played the 10 role

Same. Reality is I don’t see that midfield 3 lasting the whole 90 so Ange will have to try ether him or Donley there at some point.

I hate having 2 keepers on the bench, so pointless. I understand it’s an away game so drafting in youth players is logistically difficult, but surely you can put plans in place for more creative solutions. Especially given this isn’t the first time this season we’ve had to do it.

(to illustrate how much I hate the idea of it, a lot of the time on fifa I will gamble with having no keepers on the bench)

Would prefer Skipp as the 6 and Hojbjerg as the 8. Think Hojbjerg is better box to box. It will be interesting if Bentancur plays as the 10, he has to really for me.

Only thing with this for me is that I think Hojbjerg is more active and confident in looking to receive the ball when the defender is in possession. On the flip side though Skipp can be non-existent when in the 8 role and I think Hojbjerg going forward is what we'll need with the lack of creative players.

AFCON and injuries have fucked us.

Once we get those missing players back we have a serious team on our hands.

Once we get those missing players back we have a serious team on our hands.

Will we ever though? Seems likely they'll just replace other injured players.

 

[Kirito]

Skipp and Pierre need to show something today, they are the clear weak links compared to having Sarr and Madders in there.

Soon

 

[Hazelton]

Has draw written all over it but COYS, go and get a win.

 

[wspur]

Big game needed from everyone, up the spurs

 

[tcyrus]

Need Porro to play well to have any chance of winning this.

He's the only one capable of picking a pass.

UTD are going to target him just watch, long balls to Rashford to try and beat the high line

 

[Oscar22]

Will we ever though? Seems likely they'll just replace other injured players.

We will mate.

For me, Son, Maddison, Sarr and Kulu are the ones missing from that line up for our best XI.

Son and Sarr are fine, just at a tournament. Kulu is ill so short term, Maddison nearly ready.

We’re so close now.

 

[Tonio]

Would love to see Werner score today to shut up basically everyone.

 

[kursaal]

Sessegnon injured again?

 

[Oscar22]

Would love to see Werner score today to shut up basically everyone.

The thought of the run he could go on if he took one of his first chances in his opening game….

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Who for? He's a striker, isn't he?

Attack mid I think mate so for PEH or Skipp or possibly at RW. Think that’s where I’ve seen him play so far but happy to be corrected.

 

[Kirito]

Werner to equal the same amount of goals he scored in his last PL season for Chelsea in this one game.

Man Utd 0 - 4 Spurs

 

[Spursberg]

So Ally talking about a bug going around, most likely have a exhausted team today as well then. Oh well, maybe we can pray that this is the game Donley, santiago and Dorrington shocks the world second half :S

 

[talkshowhost86]

Bentancur is going to have to a lot of heavy lifting creatively today.

Skipp and PEH won't offer much in that department and Werner and Johnson are more about pace than technique.

I don't think it's a team that will be able to easily control possession so will be interesting to see how they setup.

A slightly worrying line-up but COYS!

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Our midfield isn’t great but they are up against Eriksen, who has struggled with the pace of games thus season, and a young boy. Stop Eriksen with balls over the top and we should be ok.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

How bad has our injuries been this season?

Bissouma has been suspended for
1) Two yellow cards against Luton
2) Too many yellows in the season
3) Straight red card at Forest followed by the Afcon.

He has missed a third of our available minutes and only 4 outfield players have played more this season.
