    Could go either way, a meeting of 2 incredibly flaky teams, hopefully we will find our shooting boots.

    I've seen most of Tottenham's games this season, and I think they've been pretty impressive. They dominate the ball and their press is ridiculous (they're league leaders in possession and PPDA). Against Brentford last week it was unreal how they were swarming all over them in the first 20 minutes - I think there were ten shots on goal in the first ten minutes alone.

    Their problem has been converting turnovers and possession into quality chances. They dominated at Leicester and Newcastle but without ever really looking incisive, and then end up conceding too easily. I don't think Ange is too bothered about clean sheets, so if they do get the attack firing, they'll be pretty strong.

    Playing out from the back in this one could be hazardous, and I wouldn't expect much of the ball. It's winnable if we can transition on them quickly though.

    Agree with this point of view. Watched every game of Spurs and they’ve been dominating most games.

    I like the look of that first team, but he's never tried it and he never will because of one player.

    Not only is Bruno stinking the joint out every week, his constant presence in the team is seriously limiting the attacking options for our starting 11.

    Cos if Bruno plays, we can't play Hojlund and Zirkzee together. If Bruno plays we can't play a midfield of Ugarte-Mainoo-Eriksen/Mount, unless we move Bruno to rw where he's even more shit and we have to take off our best rw.

    So we're stuck with this shit. Great.
     
    TH should drop Bruno and play Zirkzee and Hojlund. No point having half hour’s possession if we can’t score. Of course TH will pick Bruno, probably drop Zirkzee for mount as well. Hopefully we can get a draw, as I have no faith in us winning
     
    I'm cautiously optimistic here. We've definitely improved compared to last season, although that's a low bar.

    Just need to click up front and we'll be decent.

    We just don't know what United shows up
     
    Even Chelsea are scoring for fun now.

    Liverpool will bag a hateful against Wolves.

    Arsenal made it 4

    Whilst we are still struggling. All this is depressing now
     
    Their coach is a little better than ours and their team is a little better than ours. Expecting a hard fought 1-2 loss.
     
    With more luck Spurs could've won some of their games so far this season (Leicester, Newcastle) but same can be said about us (Brighton, Palace). Not an optimist after 1-1 against Twente but this game could go either way, both teams have had similar start to their season it seems.
     
    What I would like to see:

    Zirkzee
    Rashford Eriksen Amad
    Mainoo Ugarte
    Dalot Martinez De Ligt Mazraoui
    Onana

    What I think ten Hag will go with:

    Zirkzee
    Rashford Bruno Garnacho
    Mainoo Ugarte
    Dalot Martinez De Ligt Mazraoui
    Onana

    I would love the lineup you picked. Only change I would consider is Garnacho over Rashford.
     
    All those saying that the Crystal Palace game showed an improvement in preformance need to look at todays results and give their heaad a wobble, Palace beaten by an Everton team.
    This game will be a lot harder

    It was definitely a better performance but we desperately fecking need to improve our shooting. The Twente game was a complete reversion to form though.

    Yeah. I'm surprised that we're favourites for this even though we're at home.
     
    Sorry we are totally shit these days, power pressing will beat tepid clueless attacking.

    Being so far behind Liverpool and Chelsea is depressing. Their new managers come in and immediately produce results. Ours is still learning and talking about performances improving after 3 years while we're in 11th place.

    INEOS must surely notice how every club can swap managers to improve results.

    No chance he drops Bruno

    Ugarte Mainoo
    Bruno
    Amad Zirkzee Rashford​

    Hope he goes with this, just please do not go with the Mount Bruno double false nine from the start of the season

    If he persists with Bruno and Rashford, he should start looking for new job already.

    Right, we’re 6 games in though. Ten Hag beat Liverpool and Arsenal in his first 6 games. Even as far as 6 months in people were waxing lyrical as he won a trophy and knocked Barca out of Europe. Here we are 2 years on wanting him gone.

    You lamenting the board for not looking at other clubs whose new managers have had a handful of good results after just 6 games as a reason to bin our manager, who himself looked a top appointment after 6 months, is completely nonsensical.

    We lost our first 2 games under Ten Hag 2-0 and 4-0. But yes we then had a good run up until Feb 2023 and since then it's been consistently awful.

    I sort of understood why the board kept him in the summer but I think we're now into praying for a miracle territory in terms of him turning this around. I'd like him to obviously, I just don't see it.
     
    Both teams are shit, but United are more shit. Spurs at least score. On the other hand, their style plays into United's hands. Also, it's at Old Trafford and Spurs have had a day less to rest. The odds should be favourable, but this team just isn't good enough to capitalise on it.

    Zirkzee should be dropped for Hojlund and Ugarte should be starting here. I'd also drop Rashford for Garnacho.

    After a game full of dreadful finishing from both sides, Tottenham to win it in the dying embers. 2:1.
     
    No one giving us a chance, everyone saying Bruno should be dropped.
    Which means an easy win with Bruno scoring and having a blinder.
     
    Ten Hag under pressure so we will probably win , draw v Porto and lose to Villa. We always seem to have a poor result ahead of a international break
     
    I have a feeling we'll create plenty of chances but will f**k most of them up, probably score one but end up drawing 1-1.
