Bailly has well and truly earned his place, he’s been excellent this season and his speed will complement Maguire very well. Hopefully this can be a good partnership.

Wtf, I thought Son was out injured?Strange time for Mourinho to start Aurier. I can see that backfiring. Ole should target that part of the field. Surprise that Lamela is starting as well. I thought he was behind Lucas and Bergwin. Nothing to complain about with our team selection. Hopefully, our performance match the strength of the team.
I would nut so hard..
Usually, but he knows our midfield all too well, I bet he tells his team to press today.
Yup. Hopefully this messes with the gameplan a bit.
I feel they’ll mainly sit, their attacking play will come from wide in the full backs, Son and Lamela. They’ll be dangerous today.In these tough times, we're getting to watch football. We have had negative opinions about Matic and Pogba midfield in past only to be seen raving about them a few matches when they click. Throughout the match, we will be one long pass from Pogba away from Rashford or Martial getting through on goal. It's Tottenham and even Mourinho thinks they're bunch of softies. In case we're not playing well, we have decent options in Fred and VDB to come on and tweak the tempo of the match. Our front three needs to click only a few times to score goals irrespective of how the game is going.
Mind games.
I know he has his own problems but I'm glad Bailly is being given a go. Let's have a bloody good go at these today United.
I'd have put Williams on the bench instead of McTominay or Lingard.
Mind gameshJose 2-0 written all over this ...
They have been playing good the last few games .. so I expect them to win thisLooking at our squad and who we have, Ole really couldn't have picked a stronger lineup.
Feel bad for VDB. A great option off the bench, but we're going to struggle to get him into this starting 11 when all of Matic, Pogba and Bruno are fit and in form.
We will have plenty of games coming thick and fast soon enough.Are some people seriously expecting Jose to attack and try to control the game?
McT not playing... worried Matic-Pogba will get run over.so much for Son being injured.
Someone needs to take him out of the game
"Exploit" is the key word.Are some people seriously expecting Jose to attack and try to control the game?
THE CL starts soon, he'll get plenty of starts in both the CL and PL.
Over the course of the season, I hope that he'll get enough opportunities to play. I think he will. It's just a shame we can't put out a formation or way of playing that accommodates him as well as Bruno and Pogba. I want to see more of him.Are some people seriously expecting Jose to attack and try to control the game?
I think the expectation is that their front three and Hojbjerg/Sissoko will be snapping at our heels in our half all day, but the moment the ball gets into their half, every man and his dog will be back defending deep, ready to counter.I love Bailly but I’m always so nervous when he plays in a big game. Always feel like there’s going to be that one moment...
Jose getting the bus out again?
Mourinho's midfields don't overrun anybody decently competent. Not to mention the likes of Sissoko dare never even dream of overrunning or dominating other midfieldsGood to see Bailly get the start over Lindelof. Bailly has the pace and strength to cope with Son.
If the boys show up today we’ll get the win, but if they’re still not fit we’ll get butchered by a pretty decent Spurs side.
There’s absolutely no chance Spurs will be pressing us high. Jose will stick to what he loves. His midfield selection tells you exactly what his plan is.Are some people seriously expecting Jose to attack and try to control the game?
Sit very deep and use Son’s pace on the break. Need AWB to have him on lockdown.
Pretty much.11/11 matchday squad. Bailly deserves a starter spot, Pogba will keep getting spoon fed backing from the manager until he asks to not be played himself or he makes it impossible for Ole to pick him.
I have no idea how I feel about this game, Our track record against the big six is very, very good so lets hope that trend keeps rolling
It's like he wasn't our manager for two and a half years. Though I do understand fans trying to erase those memories.Are some people seriously expecting Jose to attack and try to control the game?
Well, Telles looks to be over the line now, with SSN reporting that we have finalised a deal.
One down, two to go?
He had 2 moments in the first half against Luton so chances are....If mourinho is really naive enough to let us counter attack.. oh please god let that be the case
He’ll be starting 40+ games for us within 12 months. I’m fairly certain he’ll be involved in 50 games this season whether starting on the bench.Bailly has a nasty tendency to leave space by rushing into situations he should stay miles away from.
Yeah, for all the praise he's had recently, i think people forget why we dropped him in the first place. Always had a howler in him.
Sissoko and Hojberg is a very combative midfield. We need some steel there and Pogba is too soft /unfit.No Bale in the Spurs squad. Is he injured?
Hope so. Looks quality!
I can't predict the outcome of this game. Lots of talent on the pitch, but I can't help but feel that there will be few chances. Might finish 1-1.
yes
What makes you say that? It’s classic Jose — Aurier and Lamela are far more diligent defensively than Doherty and Lucas (Bergwijn barely ever starts).- Status
