Match Threads Spurs vs Manchester United - Match Thread - Day 30

[Johnny J]

Our line up vs Wham will look a lot better imo with N'Dombele,Lo Celso,Toby & Dele

Just a shame this game matters a lot more.

 

[dondo]

no ndombele or glc? jfc. time to break out the alcohol.

Way ahead of you on that

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

That back four is embarrassing going to get torn apart here

 

[dirtyh]

we're going to be debbie to united's dallas.

 

[dricha1]

Keeping it tight for an hour then unleashing N’Dombele and Lo’Celso for last half hour?

 

[spursfan77]

Winks and Sissoko ??????

I want to cry

 

[ClintEastwould]

Lmao this guy mourinho man

You're half right.

‪Pogba on the bench for United, their attack is very fast. I’m starting to get really nervous now ‬

It’s not all about pace and besides we’ve a rapid Dier and Davies in defence, Aurier will be at the opposite end of the pitch and we’ve speedy Gonzales Winks mopping up... things couldn’t be better ?

 

[dirtyh]

someone get down there with a bag of covid quick....

If they're the choices at No. 10 I suppose they're actually quite similar.

Perhaps but my gripe was more deploying Sissoko and Winks further back as a 2 rather than Winks sitting and Sissoko and Ndombele pivoting off him.

Lets look at the positives. We have a decent front 3

 

[JayB]

The neglect of our midfield in recent years has been an outright disgrace. No Wanyama replacement despite the fact that five transfer windows have now passed since he fucked his knee. Belatedly replaced Dembele six months after he'd left the club, and the replacement (understandably) has needed time to settle. Never got an Eriksen deputy despite Poch wanting one for years so we remain dependent on one midfield playmaker who, wouldn't you know it, has struggled with injury.

Hopefully Winks and Sissoko will be at their best and we can compete, but United's midfield is miles ahead of ours on paper and there's no one to blame but Levy.

 

[KeithStone]

Is Lucas injured?

 

[dtxspurs]

I'm confident that no one predicted that lineup.

 

[dondo]

Winks will be isolated in midfield and get lots of blame after the game I think. At least we have more subs.

Sissoko will be covering Aurier and leave Winks 3 on 1 in midfield

 

[mpickard2087]

Made the right call on the centre backs. The other two are decrepit and done for, may as well give the two with any chance of a future here a run of games and hope they can strike up the semblance of a partnership.

 

[shelfboy68]

Well the pre match build up was fun the game......?

What do you propose instead?

Toby's been ropey as hell this season so any combination isn't particularly ideal.

Bring back lockdown haha.
