Tottenham Hotspur 1:3 Manchester United

Infra-red · Apr 11, 2021

Defeat for Spurs probably rules them out in the top 4 chase. We could finish the day 7 points clear of Leicester - equally, we could find ourselves only one point ahead of them with a resurgent Liverpool/Chelsea chasing us down.

Spurs aren't great, but they have won their last 3 home games and scored at least 2 goals in each.

Given all that's at stake, with the 6-1 in his mind and with the Europa second leg to come, I think Ole will favour a cautious approach and try to come away with a point.

I know it's pathetic but I think I'd sacrifice the Uefa cup just to get a draw in this match. I cannot bear the thought of losing against Mourinho. I feel as nervous as if it were a title decider.

«Going for it» will be an disaster with our players tired and Spurs counter attacking against our slow and tired back line. Need to keep things tight and hope for a pen.

93rd minute dodgy VAR penalty to sneak a 1-0 would really light a fuse under Mourinho. Can’t wait.

red4ever 79 · Apr 11, 2021

Would like to see us set up like this today
De Gea
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
Fred Pogba
Bruno
Greenwood Cavani Rashford

Ole will probably go with this
Henders
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
McFred
Bruno
James Greenwood Rashford

Chaky_Best · Apr 11, 2021

Would like to play 5 at the back to close the spaces for Son and Kane, but Ole will probably play his usual team with Pogba on the left.

My team 352 ( knowing that Rashford is not fit)

De Gea - AWB - Lindelof - Maguire - Shaw - Telles - Fred - Pogba - Fernandes - Greenwood - Cavani

Ole s team : 4231

Henderson - AWB - Maguire - Lindelof - Shaw - Fred - Mc Tominay - Rashford - Bruno - Pogba - Cavani

You'd expect the players to put their heart and soul into winning this game as the consequences of losing are unfathomable.

Glaston, the return.

God save us all.

Ole needs to stop with the negative lineups against the top teams. It worked last season but hasn't worked at all this season.

McFred have been a terrible pair against the top teams

Oh dear it's gonna be another 0-0 isn't it

Ajr · Apr 11, 2021

Pogba will come on second half for sure, no way he can play a whole game while he gets back up to fitness and its probably better for him to come in later than start. Fred can do a decent job with son probably

Hughie77 · Apr 11, 2021

I've put Rashford in 11, I would like him to sit this one out. Play Fred Mctom cm Pogba on the left. But can see Ole going strong on this at start.

FrankDrebin · Apr 11, 2021

All about securing a top 2/3 finish.
A draw away to Spurs, though underwhelming wouldn't be a bad result.

united_99 · Apr 11, 2021

If there is one thing Jose will love to do is completely take Pogba out of the game. So maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing if he comes later on as a sub.

How did we get to 2nd in the league with McFred?

What? Do you by any chances have seen our defensive record this season? Has alot to do with McFred.And did you see how Matic and Pogba worked out, or any combo with Pogba in the pivot? No control in midfield whatsoever.

You can say what you want about Spurs, but if you let them run free in your mid they are gonna do a number on you.

I would think Pogba on LW would be better though, James there is just over the top defensive.

McGrathsipan · Apr 11, 2021

If we lose its not the end of the world but it will be fecking annoying.

I'm going for a drab draw.

Judas · Apr 11, 2021

When we play that midfield its obvious what Ole has in mind.

Hopefully Cavani can get on the end of James many many crosses.

Have you seen our terrible record against the Big Six this season? Has a lot to do with McFred. They cannee control the game

Robindinho · Apr 11, 2021

Wish we’d for once look to be on the front foot and move away from the 4-2-3-1 and McFred...

Henderson

Awb Lindelof Maguire Shaw
Fred
VdB Bruno
Greenwood Cavani Pogba

That would be very disappointing if true

Annihilate Now! · Apr 11, 2021

Leicester and City lose?

We've no hope of winning.

Dr. StrangeHate · Apr 11, 2021

Gonna be very tough. These are the games that Jose relishes. A draw is good enough.

James35 · Apr 11, 2021

Expecting a defensive performance and team from Ole. However I think Spurs will do us again.

2-1 Spurs.

dal · Apr 11, 2021

Is Cavani fit? if Pogba and Greenwood are on the bench then who the hell starts upfront.

Pogba will be determined for this one given the opposing coach.

The ultimate kiss of death for us other teams losing

dal · Apr 11, 2021

I still feel McFred must play with Greenwood, Pogba, Rashford and Bruno ahead of them.

1W , 5D and 2L , where 1 of the losses were against Spurs with Matic and Pogba. So defensivly quite good.

Exactly my reasoning behind McFred. Need to be tight against a fresh Spurs with counters against our slow backline.

Has to get retaken because Lloris was off his line.

Fully agree. This would have been perfect:

Henderson
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
McT Fred
Rashford Bruno Pogba
Greenwood

Someone at the club since Fergie has been doing the leaking, we should literally start putting out false line ups and rumors to narrow it down

It's so funny that we persist with McFred Midfield when the cup game where we didn't play both of them is the game we actually won.

McFred in the league has been bad against the good teams this year. Yet we don't try anything else. It's insanity

But Bruno and Shaw have been brilliant. If we picked a less defensive midfield, Bruno and Shaw would have to drop back.

Matic and Pogba played against Spurs earlier in the season. We lost 6-1.

We kind of got a red card in that game. It should be Pogba and Fred or McTominay.

Like against Granada when we created hardly anything.

Fred+McTominay help the attackers around them. It's a defensive midfield that makes us a more attacking team.
