Mourinho will make sure he has a bare minimum of 6 players behind at all times. I will be surprised if we loose today therefore (will be surprised if we win too tho lol). So, yea a scoreless or a 1-1 draw at best.

Expecting

could be far worse, could have spent 400m on Mustankio, Calhanoglu, Kessie etc

and have the likes of Suso among our best players

compared to that tripe our starting XI looks like an all time great ya melt

Spurs XI vs Man Utd: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Alli, Son.

by Firenze Sat Oct 28, 2017 12:02 pm

Man Utd XI vs Spurs: De Gea; Jones, Bailly, Smalling; Valencia, Matic, Herrera, Young; Rashford, Mkhitaryan; Lukaku.

Herrera's been shite this season, Smalling could be good or a calamity and Young rofl

think it'll be a tight game but we'll come out on top

As expected.

Spurs look much more comfortable on ball.

by RealGunner Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:04 pm

It's literally a match between Mourinho and Mourinho-lite. Both probably play the worst football amongst the top teams.

by Firenze Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:06 pm

barely watching now, incredibly shite game Proud

Exactly what I was thinking.

Pochettino is a poor man's Mourinho, both in the literal and the figurative sense.

In the literal, as he is able to form a strong, consistent, hard to beat unity of a team like Mourinho, but can do so on a much smaller budget.

In the figurative sense, as he's Mourinho's bitch tactically.

Bailly looking dominant. Still, this kind of performance, though expected, really does leave you drained. We will approach every big game this way. Would rather get knocked out in the CL groups in that case so we can destroy Milan in EL.

This Mini-Mou argument is exaggerated, Mou even made Klopp seem boring

by RealGunner Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:19 pm

he has had that tag since his Southampton days.

by Glory Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:28 pm

Lol what were you guys expecting? It says a lot our best player attacking wise in the 2 big games we have played this season has been Ashley frakking Young. Proud

And fans bashing the players instead of the manager. Laughing

His negativity has seeped into each and every player out on the pitch. Sad state of affairs they still think this coward is the one who is going to make us once again dominant as a club.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:31 pm

End of the first half has been a good, strong game tbh

Looking forward to the 2nd half

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:41 pm

Mourinho's negativity is finally starting to seep in, you won't see those 4-0s at the start of the season again. They would be a lot better with a more positive manager.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:42 pm

Why do they keep saying Man Utd need to win this? Draw would be a good result, for both tbh.
In their fight for top4. They can forget about catching City anyway, title race is decided.

by Firenze Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:43 pm

lads ffs

by Firenze Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:44 pm

looking dominant now

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:44 pm

MArtin Tyler.. "No Kane but they have the Dane"

well guess what, the Dane is not enough

They're called the Harry Kane Team for a reason

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:47 pm

not sure whether Sissoko or Renato Sanches

by Firenze Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:49 pm

speaking of Renato, are you ready to write him off as a scrub that will never play for you now? unreal flop. Tolisso next.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:50 pm

The amount of space that 2 of the best EPL defenses give each other baffles me. A Messi or prime Iniesta would kill this league.

United really miss Pogba tbh. Henrikh is a fraud.
