Aaaaah so we are talking full on Sun Tzu - Art of War tactics!?
Why didint you just say that!We’ll win.
It was one game.Will FDJ be ready for this?
Look how ten Hag had us playing against Spurs last season in both fixtures. Absolutely dominated!I'd play:
Sancho
Rashford Mount Bruno
Eriksen Casemiro
Shaw Martinez Varane Wan-Bissaka
OnanaCan't call how this one will go. I watched Spurs vs Brentford and Spurs were mostly quite dominant on the ball but lacked cutting edge. They also looked very vulnerable in wide areas and on the counter. I think it's a game that might actually suit our style of play. It's just whether they have plugged the gaps in their defence by the weekend, as I imagine they'll be working on it a lot this week.
It's probably also worth throwing Garnacho back in again as I think playing on the counter suits him better. Spurs had an extremely high line and Brentford kept finding balls over the top to runners - exactly the type of game that would suit Garnacho and Rashford. They struggle against teams better defensively and more compact.
FFS.Defensively they're a bit of a mess, though Udogie looked good. I can see Antony having a hard time against him as he marks very tightly.
Should hopefully be a high scoring game. Bissouma might benefit if we play like we did against Wolves.Got a feeling we will lose to them simply because we haven't away for 5 years.Onana

Don't expect a decision for us.
This is the game Richarlison will turn into a prolific goalscorer.
We’re 100% getting decisions go against us the next few times because of the error last night.I don't expect ETH to make big changes. Lindelof in for Martinez if Licha can't go, and probably Sancho in for Garnacho.
He's not going to drop Mount as some of you are hoping for.
We're officially feckedWe'll thump them with ease. I expect them to get better under Ange but also expect them to struggle the first month of the season or so.Onana

Might as well just bring in Phil Thompson and Jamie Carragher as special guest linesmen while they're at it.Onana

Mount dropped already as he was a pointless signing. Would rather have Fred in place of Eriksen for a tough away game like this but he's gone and we haven't signed a proper replacement.Obviously need an improvement on first week, and think we’ll get it.
Come on United, get an away win against one of the “top” sides to prove some people wrong. Would be a great way to get going in the season. Last year we started terrible and then got that win against Liverpool to get things going.Everything revolving around the midfield is so uncertain and tentative. None of the proposed midfields we actually can pick from look rounded or complete. I don’t know how we propose to stop them making driving runs through the midfield, which they’ll be desperately attempting after watching Wolves clean up.
We have Arsenal and Brighton after, where is this run coming from? We have to beat Spurs to compete for Top 4.If our midfield puts out the same performance, Maddison and Bissouma are going to have a field day.
feckNever worried about playing Spurs. And our delusions of grandeur typically see better performances against better sides over the last few seasons. I expect we’ll win this.
Especially when we got away with one last game. Now we are destined to be robbed of a fair decision.
We did lose every single away game against the top 9 last year, other than against Spurs.I wonder if a loss to them makes our transfer team panic or not.Onana
AWB Varane Martinez Shaw
Casemiro
Antony Bruno Mount Rashford
Sancho
And we drew because the game was even too easy IMO. Should have had it won by half time, but Spurs were so Spurs we had no edge.Is this a joke
That guy makes threads on the club potentially getting relegated every year. Shocked that he even thinks we have a slight chance of top 4.
Are people here expecting us to win the league?
This is the starting eleven I was thinking of although I'd go full Christmas Tree and put Mount and Bruno behind Rashford.Onana
