Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United

Discussion in 'Tottenham Hotspur' started by PleaseNotPoll, Aug 22, 2018.

  1. And they play like they did at Wembley!!
    My concern is Matic - always seems to play well against us whether for Utd or that slaggy bunch from West London!

    Yep.

    Although part of me does want him to try and regain his place. The LB spot is much more closer in quality than RB, Tripps is leagues above Aurier but Rose and Davies both have separate qualities over one another. I thought against Leicester in the final game last season, despite conceding three goals, Rose finally looked like the Rose of old, was bombing it back and forth like a mad man, if he can bring that back to the side I’m gonna love the battle with him and Davies, two high level LBs.

    Playing sanchez in a back 3 could have allowed tripper and rose to be more ruthless going forward down the wings than they will be in a back 4. This could have potentially pulled Valencia and shaw a bit wider/out of position, allowing Kane/dele/lucas a bit more space centrally. I think smalling and Jones would have struggled to cope with that down the middle.
    But in Poch I trust, obviously! <ok>

    There is the possibility Dier could drop into a three, allowing Tripps/ Rose more freedom.

    What is likely set to be:

    Hugo
    Tripps, Toby, Jan, Rose
    Dier, Dembele
    Lucas, Alli, Eriksen
    Kane

    Could well be (at times):

    Hugo
    Toby, Dier, Jan
    Tripps, Eriksen, Dembele, Rose
    Lucas, Alli
    Kane

    It’s the beauty of having Dier. Such a key player for us. One of my favourites. Don’t think anyone would’ve guessed that about me tbh...

    I get what you are saying but then we would have to drop Eriksen to keep those 3 and play a back 5 :emoticon-0105-wink:

    One man we need to have a good match tonight is Craig Pawson - That is a United side set up to stifle and Herrera will kick anyone who goes past him until he is booked so lets hope the ref is strong.

    Don’t know why we’re discussing formations or the ref anyway. We’re gonna lose! <whistle>
