lets just hope our midfield gets that message. If we let eriksen dictate the game, it's going to be a frustrating 90 mins.Lads, it's spurs

We have already dropped points its time to gain points now with injured players comming back soon. Should not be worried about defensive effciency one bit apart from individual mistakes we rarely conceed chances against us.I know City will drop points.
We will too.
Spurs win and I reckon they would be the main contenders to City. I'm not saying we will lose, necessarily.
That was one of the biggest chokes in premier league history though.Didn't city overcome an 8 point gap at March/April to pip us in 2012. Not saying we will win the title but far too early to make those statements.
Depends. Back three usually turns into a back five, while Mourinho's back four usually turns into a back six. So back three might actually be more attacking for us..Jose has clearly said that 3 at the back is a defensive line-up. Unless he's setting up defensively, there should be no need to go with three at the back, especially given that we're at home and they're without Kane.
Based on what?We have already dropped points its time to gain points now with injured players comming back soon. Should not be worried about defensive effciency one bit apart from individual mistakes we rarely conceed chances against us.
By new year i expect us to be joint top only goal difference or a point or two seprating the sides.
Its not a Defensive line up. It depends on the balance of your team. Wingbacks are also used to attack and provide width in posession.Jose has clearly said that 3 at the back is a defensive line-up. Unless he's setting up defensively, there should be no need to go with three at the back, especially given that we're at home and they're without Kane.
Next two results.Based on what?
Worth remembering we are without our first 3 cbs and pogba, and his replacement. 3 guaranteed starters out for us. 2 for them.If we win the moaners will just say its because Kane wasn't involved.
That's not really joint top.We have already dropped points its time to gain points now with injured players comming back soon. Should not be worried about defensive effciency one bit apart from individual mistakes we rarely conceed chances against us.

One of the best posts in terms of understanding what our key problem has been. We have been playing with an extremely weak midfield. Pogba, Fellaini and Carrick out while Miki, Mata, Herrera and even Matic to a lesser extent, have been out of form.big positive with kane out. However my larger worry (in regards to the last two PL games) is the MUFC midfield being really below par atm. I'm hoping the hudderfield mistakes and the midweek win boost confidence enough to try and dictate the game early but it's all about ball retention.
People want to continually talk about "parking the bus". I'd advise them to rewatch the liverpool and huddersfield games, our turnover and passing decision making was horrific.
Teams are isolating lukaku and the midfield turns the ball over way too much. That also makes lukaku fall deep, giving the opposition more time in our half and making lukaku have to create attacks from about half way, instead of finishing them. After liverpool and huddersfield the midfield has got to put on a better showing. Retain possession, get the wingers up and get lukaku involved around the box.
At our best, we should be dominating Spurs without Kane. However it's up to the midfield to make this happen.
Can happen because ofhis ability to press high from the front.I expect to see Lingard after his 2 goals midweek.
I think Pogba or fellani could be back before next weekend. Chelsea game will be huge A win and we are back in buisness.That's not really joint top.
Also I can only see the current gap widening over the next two weeks.
Thing is as bad has he has been recently we looked even worse without him in the last match.Miki needs a performance
3-4-1-2 I think.3-4-3 with Mkhi on the RW or 3-4-1-2 with 2 strikers?
We shouldn't let a goal in with those 3 CBs though. Solid back 3.
3412.Exactly as predicted. 3-5-2 it is.
