Im as nervous tonight about a match as I have been for a long time. I feel this is so important to where we are as team. Win this and it will really put a marker down. A loss, even an unlucky one, and it will be same old Spurs.
I like the lineup, but part of me feels that 4231 will work in united’s favour this evening, and I’d rather we played 352, with a lineup that included sanchez. 4231 has “huffing and puffing” from us written all over it, struggling to create clear cut chances, IMO. Hopefully this is the best RCL ever.
So the DOF gets his first run-out, and Pochettino decides not to do unto Jose as he would do unto you (if the personal pressure on you was the same) . Time will soon tell on that.
That’s true and I don’t mean that I personally would necessarily think it would be doom and gloom if we lost. It’s just the narrative that would come from a defeat. Everyone would be saying Spurs bottler again rightly or wrongly. Generally I do always think the worst but after beating Chelsea away last year I am a little more optimistic than before. I hate to think like this though as I don’t want to tempt fate!
Davies' poor form, both in pre-season and the first couple of games, is enough reason to force a change
Yep. Ben was immense last season but hasn’t been too great so far. If Danny fancies turning up with his 15/16 & 16/17 form, then I’d be delighted.
Wouldn't disagree with pre-season although he was playing CB with youth around him. Thought he was ok against Fulham and he is consistently stronger defensively than Rose. As I said earlier, hope DoF has his brain in gear........
Stop being so optimistic! I think mourinho has been clever as last game at old Trafford, smalling and jones totally dominated Kane. I hope today he plays with a point to prove against them.
