[Von Mistelroum]

I don't see how we can lose this one. We're at home, we have millions of pounds worth of new players and our modern, amazing manager is well into his third season. He'll have the lads playing Ten Hag-ball by this game for sure!

I'll go for a 0-2 loss, BUT we won't really have lost because we'll see those improvements and our xg will look similar to Spurs'.

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

Exactly. He won’t be sacked until next month at least.

I think Christmas time he is gone if things do not improve a lot. It sure won't be after a loss this early.

Maybe RVN as interim going into next season?

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

I'm benching Bruno for Mount. I know it won't happen but I have to do what I can for the squad.

 

[doubleohseven]

Zirkzee hatrick incoming. This is where it all begins for him.

It'll need to happen soon.

He's a good player, links the attack well but he's not what was needed as he cannot consistently score goals.

With Hojlund also failing on that score, it could prove another expensive mistake.

 

[Highfather_24]

Onana
Maz--MDL--Martinez--Dalot
Casemiro--Mainoo
Amad--Mount--Rashford
Zirkzee

​

Eriksen cannot start 4 games in 14 days. Bruno needs dropping.

Tossup between Ugarte and Casemiro.

Bring Hojlund, Eriksen and Garnacho from the bench.

And in our stadium which is far far more modern than that out dated stadium Tottenham have just built. We are a far more progressive club than them.

 

[mitchmouse]

We can hope and pray to have as good as a 60mins as we did against Palace.

0-1 Spurs. Sonny, 66.

We'll give him a goal much earlier than that, then gift someone who hasn't scored in about five years or never at OT.. or some such record-breaker

Sounds about right.

You mean third last? He has got Porto away next.

After Sunday:

Phone Rings

SJR: (abruptly) Yes? What?

GS: Well, Jim. Hullo.

SJR: What? Who is this?

GS: Jim, it's me! Gazza!

SJR: Who?

GS: Gareth!

SJR: Who?

GS: Gareth Southgate!

SJR: Who?

GS: Dan's mate.

SJR: Oh yes, Garth. What do you want?

And so on...

 

[Melville Red]

I loved this fixture when they had Hoddle, Archibald, Perryman, Jennings etc. I always thought Hoddle would have been a great player for us.
We were very similar teams, were never going to win the league but were both very entertaining teams and good in the cups.
I think Sundays game will be a decent match but not on a par with the matches from that era, still I’m going for a controversial 1-3 win for Spurs and Eric will be left hanging by a shoe string.

 

[always_hoping]

Spuds rested half of their starting 11 tonight and played with 10 men from the 7th minute and still won 3-0 v Qarabag tonight.

 

[Guapa]

0-3 incoming.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Boring 1-1 (where Spurs probably deserve to win based on chances created) and a crucial nail in the coffin for ETH.

Solskjaer to score a late winner for Spurs and takes over us Monday morning

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

Can’t see us winning this. I’ll go 2-2.

Onana

Maz
De Light
Martinez
Dalot

Amad
Ugarte
Mainoo
Garnacho

Bruno
Hojilund

 

[The_Midfielder]

1-2 spurs

 

[UnofficialDevil]

We should do well against this lot, do they still play a ridiculously high line? We will just counter-attack and score 2.

 

[USREDEVIL]

1-1 midtable shitfest.
Erik's final test.

 

[pocco]

They're not lighting things up at the moment and have been as bad as us in the league. With it being at home, the crowd will be in full voice and our players will find a way to get the job done between themselves. I'm going 3-1 to us.

 

[icehole]

We're organizationally too stupid to do this.

What I want:

Funny you should say that because when I was a kid, Spurs at home was the first fixture I looked for. It was always a cracking game with both teams attacking end to end. One of the best games I saw was a 3-3 draw in the Charity Shield in 1968. Both sets of supporters applauded the teams at the end.

 

[Zumbi]

Ten Hag’s record against Spurs: W, D, L, D.

I reckon it’ll be another 2-2. I can see us scoring, but think they will too. They typically have more goals in them than we do.

 

[NLunited]

Ugh.

 

[Marcus]

Need to win this by 3 goals.

[Jaap]

I‘m giggling those line up predictions without Bruno - albeit being out of form, you do not drop a player of his calibre and Ten Hag definitely won’t.

Defence with Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez & Dalot pretty much picks itself. Mainoo, Bruno also certains, imo.
Then we have good options at last:
Ugarte or Casemiro or even Eriksen (fourth game in fourteen days?). Doubt it but not extremely unlikely though.
Amad, Garnacho, Rashford, Zirkzee & Hojlund for the remaining three positions.

Reckon, EtH will start with:

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

Mount, Garnacho, Hojlund off the bench.

Says who? Top clubs drop their players all the time if they are not performing. That's why they're a top club. You don't reward consistent poor performances with more playing time, that's just ridiculous. Ten Hag won't because he is a poor manager that makes poor decisions.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Zirkzee hatrick incoming. This is where it all begins for him.

There's delusion.
There's Scouse level delusion.
And then there's this.

 

[RedRocket9908]

I cant see how we have any chance of winning this or even drawing to be honest when we couldnt even beat Twente at home while Spurs beat Qarabag 3-0 despite being down to 10 men for 90 minutes.

 

[pocco]

Is Son going to miss this game? I think he went off with an injury last night. Would be a big loss for them and would surely make us even stronger favourites.

 

[crossy1686]

We should really win but I can't really see it happening. It depends how Spursy this Spurs side decide to be I guess. They'll still probably carve us open a couple of times.

 

[crossy1686]

Zirkzee hatrick incoming. This is where it all begins for him.

He's going to score max 10 goals this season. I doubt he's going to get almost 50% of them in this fixture.

 

[RuudTom83]

Never change United…every weekend is the next MUST win game.

Spurs, Porto, Villa in 8 days has the potential to be brutal.

I hope Ange sets them up to be wide open for the counter.

 

[Bastian]

I'm almost there with you. I'd love to see:

-------------------------Onana
Mazraoui----de Ligt--Martinez----Dalot
------Casemiro---Ugarte----Mainoo
Amad--------------------------------------Garnacho
-----------------------Zirkzee

I'd prefer Hojlund in that XI, but I don't think it's wise to start him given his recent injury lay-off, but eventually that would be a team I'd prefer. Casemiro with Ugarte as insurance policy will be more of a box to box and he does come up with good passes and he's invaluable defending set pieces and a danger at the other end too.

 

[DJ_21]

Don’t wanna hear any excuses from ETH for this one. They’ve had a day less as they played yesterday and we played Wednesday.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Lads, it's United

They're called Spurs United these days?
