Can't see us losing this, not with Mou at the wheel. But I think there will be goals..

I can see however Man Utd trying to play more 5-3-2 and on the counter, like they did against Liverpool. I can see us getting in some trouble for that..

Will be a good watch i'm excited.

Their big weakness is, same as ours, teams that sit back and don't allow space behind the backline.

Well up for this now. Managed to wangle myself some tickets last minute. Not been to a match in a long time.

I reckon it'll be a pragmatic performance from Spurs. We'll sit deep given that Utd's main (only) threat is pace from Rashford etc. but I reckon we'll do them on the break. We need to make sure we're clinical. If our forwards are on form Utd are there for the taking and I can see us putting 3 goals past them on the counter. Trouble is, can we stay organised enough defensively to win comfortably, or will we see another performance where we give away 2 silly goals in the second half. It could just as easily be 3-0 as 3-2 again.

I reckon we win by 1 goal, but whether it's 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 etc. remains to be seen.

Should be banned for that.

I’d be surprised if Mctominay starts. Wasn’t even ready for bench at weekend and ole alluded to lots of games coming. They would much rather have him start City game imo.

 

[Japhet]

2 teams that will sit back and try to hit on the counter. This will be won or lost in midfield which is why I hope with 3 in there and not a pivot.

 

[Thewobbler]

They have so many injuries we really should be beating them. This might be the result that gets ole sacked and poch in.

This is going to bite us on the bum isn't it Ole Masterclass incoming.

I feel a 3-3 coming on.

I'd be disappointed by a draw tonight. We're the stronger team with a much better manager, and i think it will show.

3-1 Spurs.

 

[Kingellesar]

Still think they will put in a performance similar to what they did at Wembley in January, counter attack, get a lucky goal then rely on DDG to make 34 saves from 3 yards.

Hopefully tonight we get the better of them though, because if they have no Martial, no Pogba then its a very poor team. Son can destroy that back 5/6/7 or however many they put back there.

I'll take the same result we had there last year, even if it means a similar performance

A win would be great but I won't be too despondent if we don't...they've already drawn to pool and beat Leicester there this season.
We are the better side, but they can pull out a performance every now and then, and it's still very early days in Jose's tenure.

Normally I'd agree but look at the injury situation and the team they're likely to field... Never seen a weaker United side.

Fingers crossed we annihilate them...would be great for us fans and Jose.

 

[midoshairband]

this would be a good game to continue our goalscoring run, and also to be the game where we are better at the back.

no martial is a bonus.

3-1 tottingham.
