Match Yanited vs Tottenham, Oct 28 2017

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I fancy Son running at Jones more than Kane to be fair. Our challenge is to make sure he's able to do that, get on the ball running at them, big game for Eriksen as Mourinho will sacrifice a man, probably Herrera, and have him man marked all game.
 
Son leading the line doesn't really bother me but I'd be a liar if I said that the team selection in general made me feel confident. That said, we've been here before with Poch and strange line ups and he proved everyone wrong.
 
Just seen the Utd line up. I actually think the three at the back helps us.

Got the feeling we've started Dier instead of Sanchez as Poch wasn't sure whether United would play 4 or 3 at the back. Now he knows, I think Dier will probably drop back.
 
i feel as though moose 2 is way more dangerous when we sit back and play on the counter. With this formation, i feel as though he's going to be too high up the pitch, i.e. he'll have his back to goal and less space to work in

Feeling more confident about this than the Dippers game- with or without Harry.
The scousers played this lot off the park & Maureen was terrified of them. He was more than happy with a draw. Having seen us dismantle them last week, I think Maureen will look at the bigger picture. Of course he’d love to nick a win, but his priority will be to not allow us to get ahead of them in the table (they will pick up lots of points against lower teams throughout the season) & he will be praying that we are more like the team that played in the second half on Wednesday. Because the team that played in the first half would still beat his lot.
One thing is for sure, Poch will make sure he gets a full 90 minutes out of his team today.

At Old Trafford, most people would be happy with a draw. I think we will edge it.
COYS.

I think if eriksen was on firm then yes. We need him at his best as we do Alli. Son is already playing well. Those front 3 are key and I think llorente will hold it up for them and get them into the game. Coys!
 
3 at the back Dier, Toby, Jan, wing backs Serge and Davies, two in midfield of Winks and I fancy Eriksen with Alli Sissoko and Sonny bombing on. Aim will be get the ball back, give it to Christian to pick a pass out or spread to Serge and let him off the leash. When Serge bombs forward Davies stays back and keeps it nice and tight for a potential counter counter.

I miss Kane
 
You look at United and have to think they will be extremely hard to break down.

Crucial that we concentrate and do not concede free kicks in dangerous areas.

Think winks will sit with sissocko to the right of him and alli to the left of him, with eriksen behind sonny. Big game for alli again in a deeper role, was excellent last week against liverpool.
