Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United

[MTF]

@DTguardian: #MUFC : De Gea, Jones, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Young, Welbeck

We play 12 men? Excellent.

 

[Maciej]

Everyone on Twitter post this 12-man line-up...

 

[Rahul]

De Gea, Jones, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Scholes, Carrick, Nani, Rooney, Young, Welbeck

Giggs on bench.

 

[kps88]

Its amazing how everyone's retweeted that and not realised its got 12 men.

 

[ha_rooney]

I like Jones but Rafael has been brilliant for us the games he has started and he should be the starting RB. Other than that, excellent team.

 

[Hectic]

Why can't we play with 12 players? I think it shows initiative.

 

[SATA]

I bet 100 quid we will definitely win with 12 men

 

[Dobba]

My bad.

 

[Hectic]

fecksake Dobba, you are playing with peoples lives here.

 

[girish]

12 players.
feck yeah

12 players?

@nickcoppack: Scrap that. @DTGuardian's team had 12 players. Giggs on the bench.

 

[SteveJ]

12? De Gea must have been on the weights...

 

[MacMUFC]

If you are drawing comparisons to such a high standard, you are making a statement that the quality is somewhat similar.

Not necessarily. Where did the poster mention quality? How often do you hear the managers of of lower leagues teams aspiring to play like Man United or Arsenal? Plenty. If they're in the conference should they just draw the line at Scunthorpe?

I don't see why everyone was jumping on the posters' back for a bit of a throwaway comment.

12 players??

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Has anyone noticed that that lineup has 12 men yet?

 

[Rado_N]

I like Jones but Rafael has been brilliant for us the games he has started and he should be the starting RB. Other than that, excellent team.

Yea I agree, Rafael should be starting every time he's fit as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Bale and VDV out.

Spurs: Friedel; Walker, King, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Sandro, Modric, Livermore; Saha, Adebayor

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

We're Man Utd. We do what we want.

 

[Dobba]

Playing with 12 men is the new 5 goals per penalty.

 

[December_16]

I think some of you might notice that soccer is a 11-man sport.

 

[Maciej]

Very good line-up.

 

[Hans Moleman]

Subs: Amos, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Fabio, Rafael

 

[Pexbo]

There's an extra player in that line up.

 

[SATA]

I'll be delighted if both Kranjcar and VdV are playing. Is Lennon starting?

 

[Rado_N]

Playing with 12 men is the new 5 goals per penalty.

I think you mean pelanty.

 

[prateik]

No berba?

[Bear Attack]

Young better not be in that lineup.

Perhaps the idea is that Harry is trying to use a similar model of football to United.

 

[Rahul]

I forgot we even had Anderson. Where has that porker been ?

Then he should have mentioned whatever criteria he was comparing them in, because it reads like it's quality. No-ones jumping on anyones back, some people are laughing. I don't think anyones looking to seriously offend.

 

[Randall Flagg]

No berba?
iCry

He is been rested

 

[Skywarden]

Apparently Giggs is on the bench so remove him from that line-up and you have the real deal.

 

[SATA]

Berbatov not in the squad again?

 

[Sassy Colin]

Did anyone mention that that line up had 12 players in it?

I haven't checked every post, but I don't think anyone picked that up yet.

 

[Bear Attack]

But then what is the point of drawing such a comparison? He is not saying Spurs are aspiring to play like the United of '99, he is saying that the two teams bear striking resemblances, player for player, which is a fecking ridiculous notion.

You feeling a bit precious today?

Maybe it was a bit vague, but I read it differently to everyone else it seems. If he was talking about the quality, then I'm sure he would've mentioned it.

 

[Plan M]

No Bale or VDV for Spurs is good news. Modric on the wing for Spurs.

 

[Godfather]

It should probably be mentioned that the line up posted consists of 12 players.

 

[Drifter]

Berbatov not in the squad again?

And who would you leave out.

 

[MacMUFC]

You feeling a bit precious today?

Not at all.
