Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United

[Brightonian]

Caf meltdown if that happens.

I don't think so. I mean yes, no-one's exactly ecstatic about Anderson. But not many people are that crazy about Cleverley either, and seeing as Giggs is unlikely to play again straight away, it's one of those two or Fellaini, who would be even worse.

 

[Man-United]

I hope for a 4411, Evra and Smalling/Rafael should get more help from our wingers, playing a 4231 will leave Lennon and Walker against Evra if our wingers should be that high up, madness.

 

[Orton]

I hope Townsend plays. Evra doesn't like playing against Lennon.

 

[kps88]

If he plays 4-4-2 and loses it may have very serious consequences on his trust from the board/fans. If he plays 4-2-3-1 however players and people in general will probably forever question his tactical ability as a manager.

Must be the biggest game in his career in terms of nailing the tactics.

Talk about over hyping a game....

Unless he decides to try out his very own 2-3-1-4 today, nothing he does will lead to him losing the trust of the players or the board.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Watch Moyes do a Fergie-like troll move, and have RVP starting.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Lineup:

De Gea; Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Evra; Cleverley, Jones; Welbeck, Kagawa, Valencia; Rooney.

 

[Sixpence]

No RVP. feck off.

 

[Pexbo]

I'm more nervous about this one than I have been for a while, because it feels like there is genuinely the potential for another great performance and good win here (whereas a lot of the time this season my expectations haven't been high).

I'm nervous because what happened in Europe bares no meaning in this one. We dropped points against Cardiff and it puts pressure on us today.

A win would be huge today.

 

[The Man Himself]

Lineup:

De Gea; Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Evra; Cleverley, Jones; Welbeck, Kagawa, Valencia; Rooney.

Official?

 

[RonaldoVII]

Kinda disappointed Welbeck is in... would prefer Nani or Januzaj as they provide a goal threat whereas in the final 3rd Welbeck can be more of an asset to Spurs...

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

Official?

Yep, Sam Wallace posted the same thing.

 

[Carl]

Danny being used on the left makes sense. Keep Walker quiet.

 

[Orton]

Defensive minded line up.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Spurs:

Lloris, Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Vertonghen, Dembele, Sandro, Paulinho, Lennon, Soldado, Chadli

 

[Sixpence]

Lloris; Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Vertonghen; Paulinho, Sandro; Lennon, Dembele, Chadli; Soldado

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Strong team. Should do the job.

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

Today's team: Lloris; Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Vertonghen; Paulinho, Sandro; Lennon, Dembele, Chadli; Soldado #THFC

 

[Carl]

Kinda disappointed Welbeck is in... would prefer Nani or Januzaj as they provide a goal threat whereas in the final 3rd Welbeck can be more of an asset to Spurs...

We saw as recently as last week how Januzaj handles offensive full backs.

 

[Pexbo]

No RVP. feck off.

More bothered about Smalling at right back and with Welbeck there... You know where Shinji is going to be. Still rather Welbeck on the left.

 

[Orton]

Luckily Spurs look nothing special. I see very little threat in their team. It'll be a game with very few goals.

 

[Sixpence]

Let's hope it's Welbeck on the left and not Kagawa.

 

[Jacob]

Come on Kagawa, show your worth in the hole!

 

[Sixpence]

Rafael on the bench. What are you playing at Moyes?

 

[Kag]

This Rafael thing is pissing me off. Benching Nani is a little counter-productive. Glad Kagawa and Rooney are given another shot. Glad Vidic is back.

 

[KM]

It's obvious that Danny is going to be on left I think.

 

[kps88]

That Spurs team looks very underwhelming. Lennon the only danger man since he normally beats Evra at will.

 

[kouroux]

Hoping for a good Welbeck performance cause otherwise he'll be criticized heavily (not that it would be a different treatment from what he usually gets).

 

[Eric'sCollar]

I like the line up. Still can't get my head around why Rafael isn't being picked though. Has to be a fitness issue.

Kagawa NEEDS to perform again. If not, it's back to left for him.

 

[MJJ]

no nani/rafael/fabio. Disappointed. Still strong team, and that spurs side doesnt look that good. Strong midfield though, which will cause us problems.

And our wings are so defensive.

 

[RonaldoVII]

We saw as recently as last week how Januzaj handles offensive full backs.

Yup, would've preferred Nani. He wasn't great midweek but defensively was sound and Welbeck hasn't had much action either lately.

Subs: Lindegaard, Rafael, Anderson, Fellaini, Nani, Young, Hernandez

 

[alastair]

Are they starting Chadli as a wind up?

 

[Man-United]

Any news on Carrick?

 

[Pexbo]

More bothered about Smalling at right back and with Welbeck there... You know where Shinji is going to be. Still rather Welbeck on the left.

Actually on second look it looks more like 4-2-3-1. Good chance Welbeck is on the left to handle Walker and Lennons pace.

 

[datura]

Rafael on the bench. What are you playing at Moyes?

Not rushing back a player who's been injured for the last month or so?

 

[Shark]

Big game for Shinji.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Not a bad side at all.

Welbeck is the question mark, but Nani apart from his goal wasn't great at all Midweek.

Fellaini not trusted

 

[Thisistheone]

Defensive line up from Spurs. AVB can't afford to lose?

 

[RonaldoVII]

Any news on Carrick?

Nothing said but think he's another 3 weeks from a return as they said 6 weeks after the Arsenal game.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Why are a all so pissed about Rafael? The guy is only back from injury,

Besides Smalling IMO has done fine in recent games at right back. I am happy we have such a good back up to right back.

Once Rafael is 100% and he performs he will be back

 

[GledTheRed]

Are they starting Chadli as a wind up?

he is rahter shit
