Tottenham Hotspur 0:3 Manchester United

largelyworried · Oct 26, 2021

Man, what a position to be in for this game. Lose, and we're guaranteed to be at least 9th and we could be as low 11th. Win and we probably keep our manager for an even longer spell. Draw, and we probably fall a few places and keep the manager. Grim stuff.

For what its worth I think Spurs are shite and we'll beat them 3-1 and we'll have Ole til at least Christmas, unless City truly rout us the following week. Talk about pyrrhic.

GMoore23 · Oct 26, 2021

I'd like to see

De Gea
Bissaka - Bailly - Lindelof - Telles
McTominay - Matic - VDB
Greenwood/Rashford - Cavani - CR7

But I expect

De Gea
Bissaka - Lindelof - Maguire - Shaw
McTominay - Fred
Greenwood - Bruno - Rashford
CR7

I want to see that new Dune film, anyone seen it?

Chip · Oct 26, 2021

While I will never hope for a United loss, are we actually better off with a win if that means another false dawn that buys Ole another few months in charge?

Robbie Boy · Oct 26, 2021

Spurs are fairly bad tbh. I had this down as a win prior to the Liverpool debacle. I fancy it to be a horribly negative game from both sides, with the emphasis being on not losing. So, an uninspiring draw it is.

Surely the board aren’t that reactionary though? The only way Ole seems to be kept on is that they are taking time finding the replacement. As opposed to them just waiting to test the possibility we magically look like a solid, well-coached and drilled outfit against Spurs.

5-0 is the second most popular prediction :lol:

laughtersassassin · Oct 26, 2021

I hope we win but in a manner that means Ole is let go.

He shouldn't still be here so we can't keep him even if he wins a few

I hope not. But surely the right thing would be to get rid and get an interim until a permanent replacement has been found. No need to keep him around just for the sake of it. He's clearly lost the dressing room.

Hughes35 · Oct 26, 2021

I can't see us winning this at the moment.

Maguire V Kane could be be fun to watch. Both in horrible form.

El Zoido · Oct 26, 2021

I don’t think we’ll lose, but this might be the game where the lineup is changed. I legit think VdB will start, out of position, and Cavani. Surely he cannot play the same lineup again.

DDG
AWB
Lindelof
Maguire
Shaw
Matic
VdB
Bruno
Rashford
Sancho
Cavani

KiD MoYeS · Oct 26, 2021

Grant; Jones, Bailly, McKenna; Lingard, Carrick, Mata, van de Beek; Elanga, Solskjaer, Shoretire

8-0 Man Utd win.

Jacob · Oct 26, 2021

If we loose by three goals or more, he's getting the sack immediately.

Annihilate Now! · Oct 26, 2021

I would genuinely be fine with only De Gea retaining his place from the weekend.

If Ole is in charge for this one*

Any victory over Spurs, no matter the manner in which it was achieved, will grant Ole at least another month in charge. It's a nightmare situation for the players and the fans.

The White Pele · Oct 26, 2021

We need to go back to basics and make ourselves difficult to play against. Forget this seesawing between McFred and Pogba +1 in a double pivot, we need to play 3 in there. One to play in front of the back 4 and shield them and the other two to be combative and move the ball through the thirds.

———Fred————VDB
——————Matic
Shaw—Maguire—Lindelof—-AWB

Back 4 stays the same unless Varane available but Maguire and Shaw need a rocket up the arse after that Liverpool game.

That leaves just 3 attacking positions for about 9 players but I just think this is the way we have to go for the foreseeable future. We need that solid base to build from and with the quality of options we have up top we always have a chance of scoring. We can rotate the front 3 players if we start to build some confidence back but we need that consistency in shape in defence and midfield.

Ole needs to be ruthless with them and drop anyone not performing as required, regardless of who their name is.

I would go with Ronaldo, Rashford and Bruno for this one but he honestly shouldn’t be afraid to drop anybody at this point.

Supposedly a bit long but an audio & visual phenomenon. Make sure to book your seat to conflict with the Spurs game to avoid watching a dead man walking.

LawCharltonBest · Oct 26, 2021

By the end of Moyes, LvG, Jose I was absolutely numbed to the poor results.

Not that i wished defeat like weirdos do, but I expected it and it didn't affect me when it inevitably happened.

Not the case with Ole. I'm absolutely desperate to see a good performance and emphatic win. Still agree we will need a new manager sooner rather than later, but I at least want the man to go out with his head high.

RedDevil-85 · Oct 26, 2021

If Ole leads the team , i think we will lose.
He`s lost the dressing room and our defence is a shambles.
Kane and Son will thrive

OleTheGreat · Oct 26, 2021

The team will definitely react and Spurs will defend under pressure and lose. Ole will get the sack after the City game because their midfield will run circles around ours.

Solius · Oct 26, 2021

Don't think I'll be watching. I like to enjoy my weekends.

Spurs arent exactly running riot, are they? Kane looks like a shadow of himself this season. Hoping I havent jinxed it now.

If it is anything over ninety minutes in length that is absolutely perfect.

If you dont watch and we win, can you promise you'll do the same for the rest of the season? Pretty please!

Lad's its tottenham.

we will surely beat spurs.

Nope, pretty keen myself but feel like I should read the book(s) first?

::sonny:: · Oct 26, 2021

I expect another shambolic performance, with the same line up

spiriticon · Oct 26, 2021

Tighten that ship up, by hook or by crook. I don't care if we have to put on 10 defenders and play like Stoke City on a windy night.

This is a gameplan that will be straight out of the Fat Sam coaching school.

I haven't read the book myself, plenty of seats available Saturday so that's my weekend sorted.

i like that, but I would probably play Fred over McTominay in that 3 just for a little extra defensive covering/running. and yeah your expected lineup is what's more likely to happen with Ole :lol:

Irrational. · Oct 26, 2021

No interest in this as long as Ole’s still in charge.

is Spurs going to park the bus ? if yes Ole can use his favourite 4-2-3-1

then you gonna have no interest for a very long time, cos the glazers will continue to back Ole.

Dembeza · Oct 26, 2021

We are putting the players on a really awkward position if Ole is not sacked before then. They clearly know that Ole isn’t good enough but if they win this game then they are keeping him in his job.

I really hope the board doesn’t leave this to the players do decided Ole’s fate.

Also what kind of board puts the fans in such an awkward position, one one hand we want the team to win but if they win Ole keeps his job until the next down fall.

Litch · Oct 26, 2021

Game just got even more interesting. We are going to find out everything about Ole and 'some' of the players.

yamo123x · Oct 26, 2021

Time for changes

de gea

bailly maguire shaw

lingard fred VDB Telles

bruno

rashford Ronaldo

FatTails · Oct 26, 2021

Weird situation. There should be some rotation of the underperforming players (Shaw, Maguire, McTominay), but the players who are on the bench have been leaking stuff about Ole and clearly don’t believe in him anymore :lol:

Same starting 11 it is!

laughtersassassin · Oct 26, 2021

Giving Ole more time makes no sense.

What if he wins? We are going to just pretend he is good enough????

tenpoless · Oct 26, 2021

Why do I feel like Son is going to score and celebrate it with the most punchable face in the universe.

We found that out last Sunday , anything less than a hammering here will be presented as progress..
