Tottenham Hotspur 0:3 Manchester United

LDUred · Oct 30, 2021

I am seeing this as the 'We're shit but we're not that shit' Cup. To the winner goes the bragging rights that they are slightly better than the other complete embarrassment to the league.

If we are to win, we've got to shore up the defense. Maybe bring in Matic to provide a screen in front of the back four and then play Donny and Fred in front of him. His legs aren't really there these days, but we don't have many options in all fairness.

Telles starting going by his Instagram - shaw dropped or back 3?

OmarUnited4ever · Oct 30, 2021

I wouldn't want to see the below players start:

Maguire
Lindelof
McTominay
Fred
Greenwood
Ronaldo

So I'm settling with the below:

De Gea

AWB Varane Bailly Shaw
VdB Matic
Lingard Bruno Rashford
Cavani

I know it's too much rotation but some players I don't want to see them start today, not after that weekend debacle.

Martial pictured at his home according to his wife''s IG. Makes sense, he was shocking against Liverpool, all his fault.

BusbyMalone · Oct 30, 2021

Thinking he's going to go five at the back here to try and stop us from shipping goals, and he would probably take a 0-0. Which really helps no one, to be honest.

Cantonagotmehere · Oct 30, 2021

We will win this, and I am trying to care , it is very hard.

Inevitable delayed a tad longer.

Hope some players can get a shot and have a very good game, like VDB, Sancho and Greenwood (understanding he's already having a good season)

Ixion · Oct 30, 2021

Lose and we'll probably be 11 points off the top with City as the next game. Clinging as close to 4th as we can will be the goal for the rest of the season.

0-0 will not help him survive, right?

All is ask is we drop Maguire and win.
Lads, it’s Tottenham

crossy1686 · Oct 30, 2021

Even if we win, we'll get battered during the week in the CL and next weekend anyway.

I think that team wins the game tbh, unfortunately I don't see us getting that XI on the pitch today.

ShinjiNinja26 · Oct 30, 2021

Seen Stephen Howson tweeted saying he heard we might be playing a 3-5-2. If that’s the case at least get Conte in who actually knows how to use that formation. :lol:

Feck me, I still have nightmares from Italy last year where we changed to 5-3-2 and Telles was playing LCB before someone told Shaw that's his position :lol:

From United?

We lost 6-1 to a much lesser team in Tottenham last year.
5-0 to Newcastle in Fergie's days etc.

The most recent isn't always the best or worst.

Varane will come in.

Then it's a 50-50 who plays out of Greenwood or Sancho.

smi11ie · Oct 30, 2021

Ok so Utd won't win the league this year. I get that. They need a midfield. I think this Ole out thing is a bit premature. If Utd win today and at Atalanta then they are in an OK position. I think there are alot of premature spurters on here who just can't stop themselves pulling the trigger.

I have been kicked up and down the road like a can for what is a rational opinion. Lose one of the next two games and Ole should be sacked, win both and he should be given a bit of time.

GDaly95 · Oct 30, 2021

It'll be a draw, which will piss off literally everyone involved.

Oh, and no clean sheets.

Would love to see a 3-5-1 with Sancho and Telles as wingbacks and Shaw Maguire varane in Def. Vdb, Fred and Fernandes with Ronaldo/Rashford

How is it premature sacking someone whos teams performances are getting worse after three years?

Yep - I think a score draw is the most likely result by far. Both managers would probably be reasonably pleased with that - neither can really afford a defeat.

We're not good enough to play with 10 pal.

Last year's loss against Tottenham was a red card for Martial I believe and away from home?

Anyway, the final score is deceiving. Liverpool stopped trying in the 2nd half. I'm convinced they could have scored another 5 but they're smart enough to keep Ole in the job ((I kid) and not see a few others carried out on a stretcher. (OP mentioned worst performances not worst results)

Not sacking Ole after that disaster class against Liverpool is a sackable offense in itself. Not the result, the performance or the complete surrender is not acceptable.

And here you want to give Ole more time. Wow.

Surely you've hoped for us to win other games, to ensure you got 8th or 9th? :lol:

Skills · Oct 30, 2021

Howson was saying 3-5-2?

De Gea
Varane--Maguire--Shaw
AWB---McTominay---Fred---Telles
-----------------Bruno
---------Ronaldo---Rashford

I still think we’d beat them with 10 to be fair.

The Ole in crowd is trying to make it just about Liverpool to make sacking seem knee jerk.
The reality is we've dreadful been every game this season, with the exception of Leeds.

If every season was better than the last then the same club would win every year. He got 2nd last year and he is still in the ECL.

I understand throwing in the towel when things are impossible but teams are streaky, nobody knows the future. Win two games and Utd are practically through to the next round of the ECL and a ball-hair away from 4th in the league.

I want him to be sacked if he doesn't win the next two games but I am happy to wait until those games are played.

We've struggled to beat anyone this last 10 or so games.

bdspeedy · Oct 30, 2021

We will be shit as long as we are owned by "business men" who don't care about or know about football. As long as the brand is strong -- and the sponsors are happy-- they couldn't be bothered about the actual football fans. Is Ole trying to develop his own version of "moneyball"? Oleball? That we fans are just too slow to comprehend the brilliance of? I mean, he seems to believe we are on the verge of cohesion and greatness.

mitchmouse · Oct 30, 2021

If Varane was fit, I drop Maguire. I'd consider playing youngster at RB an LB - none of which will happen. But I would certainly certainly certainly start with Cavani leading the line and Ronaldo out wide. No doubt, Ole will go with the tried and tested failures
