We're at home though.2-1 Spurs
Kane and Eriksen
so a routine win for us you reckon ?We will fold in the opening ten minutes if they apply enough pressure
We will not wake up for the first 5 minutes of the second half, even if we play them off the pitch for the whole first half
We will have a 30 minute spell where we cannot touch the ball or make a tackle and have to rely on Hugo
To stop us winning, they simply need to park the bus from the 88th minute
If I know this, trust me, so does Louis van Gaal
Going to this one so we'll struggle, my last outing to the lane was the delightful loss to WBA!
Come on you spurs!! Bell and hare 11am see you out the back!!
Come on you spurrrrrrsss!!
We're at home though.
Let's be positive everyone, we've won four matches in a row, confidence in the dressing room must be sky high, Man Utd are not the invisible team they once were and Harry Kane cannot stop scoring.
I think we can win this 2-1 Spurs, I'm predicting. COYS
We just won't be able to contain their attacking threat. Players like mason and bentaleb are great young talents but coming up against top 5 teams we fall way short because of our lack class. I would probably have a midfield of dembele and eriksen, with a lot of width, of townsend and lennon to get round the back of them.
I just don't see it with this one...
Tottenham 1 Man Utd 3
I don't feel confident but at the same time they have Kane to worry about. He is a real headache for the opposition and instead of focusing on taking us apart, which probably isn't that difficult to be fair, they have to spend some resources trying to stop him scoring. That gives us a chance in my view. They also need to be wary of giving us a freekick in their half in case Eriksen puts it in their net. And Hugo will save a number of good efforts they manage.
So basically, they just need to mark Kane and Eriksen and take enough shots and they will win.
My head says we will lose this, but maybe we will get a draw or even steal another 2-1 win.
