Herrera to be booked is an easy guess for 2nights game.
Just hope Alli won't dive too much.. By the way, who's the referee?

Herrera is just as likely to dive as Alli.Herrera to be booked is an easy guess for 2nights game.

I am very much a real person, I am not quite sure how to convince you of that, but I am honestly!!I'm more and more convinced you're a bot replying anytime anyone mentions Lingard (or even doesn't mention him at all)! Your phrasing seems like the current state of artificial intelligence now, too.

I just like to see us play our best team in the big games, and this is a big game!
We played a 4-2-3-1 against Liverpool at Anfield last season. Fellaini-Pogba pivot, if I remember correctly.Honestly, a 4-2-3-1 with Lingard as #10, not seeing it happening. It would be very untypical of Mourinho to go toe to toe away against a top team.

Would love to see us lineup 433 and Martial keeping his place on the left.----------------DDG
Valencia---Jones---Smalling----Young
-----Herrera---Matic-----Pogba
----Sanchez---Lukaku----Martial
Valencia will have his hands full with Son. If we shut down service to Kane we have a chance.
Absolutely. I hope this is going to be a cracker of a game.Tonight cannot come soon enough I'm utterly bored.

Sanchez on the right is no good, his daily bread and butter is to cut in and look for a one-two, shot or take-on. If Spurs had Tobey I‘d say sacrifice Lukaku in order to play Martial but with their current defence I expect a 4-2-3-1 with Sanchez on the left and no Martial.----------------DDG

I'd be (pleasantly) shocked if Jose doesn't start with a midfield 3. Matic has looked tired of late... him and Pogba against the Spurs midfield has me worried.Sanchez on the right is no good, his daily bread and butter is to cut in and look for a one-two, shot or take-on.

Damn, well I am real I tell you honest!!That's precisely what a bot would say!
My obsession over wanting to see one of, if not our most in form player play in this match is weird?? And you say it would be funny if he doesn't start? Do you actually want to see us start without our first choice side??@RedRom Your obsession for Lingard is weird. It'll be very funny if he doesnt start.
Drat!That's exactly what a synth would say!

I agree about his superior bus parking abilities. But you had Pogba as #10 and Young, now a fullback, as leftwinger. Not expecting anything as defensively similar today, are we?We played a 4-2-3-1 against Liverpool at Anfield last season. Fellaini-Pogba pivot, if I remember correctly.
Jose can park the bus in any formation, its' his natural ability.
We'll see. I expect him to start Lingard due to the Wembley factor. Martial was rested completely for Yeovil, so he's got to be a cert to start. Sanchez is definitely starting.I agree about his superior bus parking abilities. But you had Pogba as #10 and Young, now a fullback, as leftwinger.

I like Lingard's recent form. Who would you start?Damn, well I am real I tell you honest!!

That's what I think, that he will go 4-3-3 but with Lingard as #8. But that's a bit risky and also kind of expected, so he might be tempted to pull one trick more for Pochettino.We'll see. I expect him to start Lingard due to the Wembley factor. Martial was rested completely for Yeovil, so he's got to be a cert to start. Sanchez is definitely starting.
Maybe he will go 4-3-3 with Lingard even. I just don't see him dropping Lingard or Martial for the game.
Matic hasn't played for 11 days and only played 3 games in the last 4 weeks. He'll be fine.I'd be (pleasantly) shocked if Jose doesn't start with a midfield 3. Matic has looked tired of late... him and Pogba against the Spurs midfield has me worried.
This big games myth about Jose.Honestly, a 4-2-3-1 with Lingard as #10, not seeing it happening. It would be very untypical of Mourinho to go toe to toe away against a top team.
A bit crazy not to start Sánchez.Want to see:
GK De Gea
RB Valencia
CB Smalling
CB Jones
LB Young
MF Matic
MF Herrera
MF Pogba
CF Lukaku
RW Lingard
LW Martial
Herrera to mark Eriksen out the game.
Sanchez comes on at 60 mins for one of Lingard, Lukaku, Martial, or Herrera...
Yeah, he did that and failed clearly at Stamford Bridge this season. Also with City at OT. On the other hand, he was conservative with Tottenham at OT and Liverpool away and got results, although with dry performances.This big games myth about Jose.
People need to get their facts right.
Jose only plays very conservatively when he thinks the other side is superior or when defending a lead. Not saying this is right but it's just reality. If he thinks his team is strong enough, he sets them up to play on the front foot.
You might have a point there. I'm a bit confused on how José will try to work the right flank and think atm that it will be done fluidly by Mata and Lingard supported by Valencia runs. The more defensive option would be only Lingard and Valencia without Mata but Herrera to cover for Valencia.I'd be (pleasantly) shocked if Jose doesn't start with a midfield 3. Matic has looked tired of late... him and Pogba against the Spurs midfield has me worried.

I have previously said who I would start in this thread, however just for you I will say that I would start with Lingard, Pogba, Martial, Lukaku and Sanchez.I like Lingard's recent form. Who would you start?
Jim "Lazy Eye" McLevy... Just hope Alli won't dive too much.. By the way, who's the referee?
I think a bit of both tbh. His postioning is top class, but even the best get caught out, and when he does, he doesn't have the pace to get back. Obviously Pogba is further up the pitch at these stages, so we can get caught short with midfield runners. Stoke really highlighted that part, Stephen Ireland was ghosting in unmarked too many times. They didn't punish up but good teams can and will.I don't think Matić is so tired as he is restraining himself, to cover defensively for Pogba's more recent advances in the pitch.
