Just had a look. West Ham away. The entirely stoppable force versus the object constantly moving in the wrong direction. El spastico. Hopefully will be able to tune in.
I'd like Spurs to win because they've had a reasonable wait and seen a humble bunch, but Man United are probably going to get out of jail.
Man U have pinged to slight favourites now 4/5 Vs Spurs's 6/5.....Spurs have beaten them home and away this season, so they could still easily do it, but both teams are horrendous, so who knows.
As I said above, more game winners in the Spurs team for me ... Son, Kulusevski, Johnson, Maddison ... and Richarlison and Solanke carry more of a goal threat than Hojlund... might come down to whose defence is ****test
Is Son injured atm? I assume so cos he hasn't played for ages. Also Kulusevski seems always on the bench these days, not sure what's happened to him cos he looked like a beast a few years ago. Basically both teams are flimsy and wide open, which means it should be a good match to watch. Spurs can potentially play as more of a solid team, whereas Man U are always a disjointed rabble whenever they're playing someone who isn't a weak European team.
I thought Son was close to fitness but they decided not to chance him against Pool, which in my opinion was the right decision.
Amorim has to get the team and shape right for two more games, next weeks second leg and then the final. I think he will. Anything in the league between is just practice really. Our 11st eleven I would back against Spurs's, assuming all fit. Probably only Zirkzee won't be available, plus Martinez obviously. The likes of Amad, Mainoo and de Ligt are getting back to fitness.
Spurs have beaten Utd 3 times already this season. But a European final, I would always make Utd the favourites, even when they’re ****, they manage to win a trophy. Spurs mentality is weak. All that said, I’m still worried about the second half leg in Norway. Bodo are decent at home and the pitch will be awkward to play on.
A best combined XI would be interesting...personally I'd have Spurs edging it ... but there ain't a lot in it ... as the respective league positions show ...
