Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United. Saturday, Nov 8th, 12:30pm. English Premier League.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Goals and assists are everything but, like most stats, they don't properly tell the whole story - Palhinha got an assist for van de Ven's goal on Tuesday, Johnson awarded a goal even though it clearly went in off Shaw's arm

Even scorelines can be quite misleading - go back and watch Manchester City 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur from twelve months ago
 
No excuses today.

United are shit.

Spurs must aim to score a minimum of two goals and attempt to win this game.

If it's the same shite as last week then it's not good enough for a big club like Spurs and we should refuse to accept it.

Spurs are not fucking Brentford.
 
Need 3 points no matter what. Anything less will really be terrible.

Even the previous manager got a double over them FFS.
The previous manager beat them 4 times and we've signed 4 seasoned internationals since then. There are a few on here who would like you to believe we have no right to beat United and we should celebrate a plucky draw. Honestly, I cant understand why they think we are so shite and United are so good.

Atm I think johnson on right balances attack. On the left it dont work. The entire attack needs upgrading imo but I think muani is improving.
If Kudus isn't fit to start, then yes, definitely Johnson on the right .. he's a waste of a position at the best of times - when he ain't scoring - so at LEAST put him on the side of the pitch where he stands the best chance of DOING that!

Have to say, the prospect of Tel/Odobert - Simons - Kudus supporting Muani up top DOES get my juices flowing!!

If Johnson is merely in the squad as a back up, I honestly have no problem with that.
.. his best position for us COULD well be from the bench as an impact Super Sub...
Think Lucas Moura without the questionable political views!!!

...and not forgetting Kulusevski back into the mix SOMETIME in the New Year... (which I nearly did) and we might be onto something!
 
Keep Gray and get rid of Johnson and Richarlison
Keep Gray and Johnson, get rid of Richie! ...and throw Biss in there as well while you're at it...
That's my final offer ...do we have ourselves a deal?

First goal is massive.
Whoever scores first will probably win I think.

They are setup for sitting back and countering with Mbuemo and Cunha, fernandes will just spray the ball about.

If we score first we can deny them that space.

Essential that Udogie plays, we saw the balance he brings.
In that case, it should be much easier to score in it then...
say it every time we play this lot…just don’t fuck it up spurs. Horrible bunch of cunts - & that’s just my smug, entitled scum supporting family members. Last couple of years has been blissful lording it over them. I’m not ready to let go of these shreds of joy.
Hello, someone's got extra skin in the game!!
 
Kudus doesn't make the squad today. Udogie on the bench, Richarlison and Muani both starting. Sarr for Bentancur.

Interesting lineup to say the least
