Lads, it's spurs

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

 

[Smores]

If we win the moaners will just say its because Kane wasn't involved.

 

[KM]

Not a single rumored lineup is surprising. Normally by this time, there are quite a few.

 

[superdry]

I think we should go for it!

 

[prtk0811]

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.

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.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

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.

 

[K2K]

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.

That was one of the biggest chokes in premier league history though.

But that's not my point. Spurs are another team to worry about and just City.

I really don't think our team is a title winning one. Not a popular opinion, but Jose needs more work on it and thus more time.

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..

Since are we taking José comments seriously? Better to see his actions imo.

Based on what?

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 also gone on to mention that the best way to set up against a back 3 is a back 3 , and tottenham will play a back 3 . So a back 3 completely makes sense and is not defensive one bit.

4231 is actually unbalanced when wingers lack the ability to attack and defend at the same time.

While tottenham are not a total footballing side who control so much of the ball. Their game depends on movements linkups and counter attacking fast overloads. So we dont need to defend with wingers today and let our attacker defensive duties and leave it for winbacks for balance since we are only with a mid 2

 

[prtk0811]

Based on what?

Next two results.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

I expect to see Lingard after his 2 goals midweek.

 

[ijc]

Imagine if Lindelof is mentioned in the starting 11. The Caf will go on a meltdown

 

[pacifictheme]

If we win the moaners will just say its because Kane wasn't involved.

Worth remembering we are without our first 3 cbs and pogba, and his replacement. 3 guaranteed starters out for us. 2 for them.

That's not really joint top.

Also I can only see the current gap widening over the next two weeks.

 

[GM K]

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.

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.

With the state of our midfield, it is so easy to understand why we have been having poor results and playing ugly football.

 

[EverReddy]

United's current manager up against our next manager?

 

[prtk0811]

I expect to see Lingard after his 2 goals midweek.

Can happen because ofhis ability to press high from the front.

 

[Norris]

4 More mins to getting the teamesheet. Exciting times..

 

[prtk0811]

That's not really joint top.

Also I can only see the current gap widening over the next two weeks.

I think Pogba or fellani could be back before next weekend. Chelsea game will be huge A win and we are back in buisness.

But i really expect city to drop points till year end, atleast 5 of them. We have to cover ground by then.

Today's line-up for #MUNTOT is in...

11:30 AM - Oct 28, 2017

 

[Marcelinho87]

3-5-2 then with Val and Young wingbacks.

 

[Norris]

That's a great team

 

[M Bison]

3 at the back

 

[M Bison]

Miki needs a performance

 

[prtk0811]

11/11

 

[ijc]

Exactly as predicted. 3-5-2 it is.

 

[MUFAN79]

We're going to destroy them.
3-1 United

 

[Kapardin]

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.

 

[GifLord]

 

[Marcelinho87]

Miki needs a performance

Thing is as bad has he has been recently we looked even worse without him in the last match.

 

[settembrini]

I hope that is Rashford and Lukaku upfront together with Mkhitaryan behind like Lingard against Swansea. We need 3-5-2, not 3-4-3.

 

[The No.10!]

What about Spurs?

 

[Sied]

I think that was the 11 I predicted before Jose's interview. I decided to take Bailly out after his comments

 

[prtk0811]

Expected tuanzebe on the bench tonight . Jose really trusts mctominay.

 

[OohAahMartial]

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.

3-4-1-2 I think.

So good to see Bailly and Jones back. Can't see them getting a goal, but their midfield might nullify ours for a boring 0-0.

 

[Sied]

 

[Pexbo]

Crikey that’s a great team. Put Pogba in for Herrera and that’s our best side. Rashford/Martial too close to call for me.

 

[prtk0811]

Exactly as predicted. 3-5-2 it is.

3412.
