*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Manchester United ***

[MartyFunkhouser]

7 behind Ipswich. 6 behind Hull.

Worrying.

I just don't see how we are unable to get a stable team on the pitch. The summers business and so called squad build is looking more and more horrific every passing week. So much for it being the best window we have ever had. We are well short and we could be bang in trouble here

 

[Rafa87]

If he wants out, quit.

 

[Kandi1977]

Ajer slaloms through the defence and slots home like a striker.

Have you seen the goal he scored for Norway during the international break? Proper strikers finish!

Us breaking managers? This is just De Zerbi breaking Spurs! Mind-blowing team selection!

Yep, he’s in complete control of this situation, he’s got rid of who he wanted to get rid off, he’s spent hundreds of millions on players he wants, he’s had a full preseason.

Yet he has done an inexplicable 180 from what worked at the end of last season.

 

[SubZero]

Fernandes on the bench? Wtf. This is getting silly now.

There is a universal law that says there can be only one Fernandes on any pitch at any given time.

 

[Kandi1977]

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m feeling like I did the last quarter of last season. It’s all a bit meh. RDZ and his selections can’t be fathomed out and I’m not sure I can be bothered to try

I'm leaning towards not even bothering to turn on the telly.

Legendary Creature?

 

[SubZero]

United's worst start of the season since 1992 you say? Hmm...

 

[fernadez]

Completely forgot we only have one right back in the squad

 

[elyid]

I mean...sorry. He HAS the players, just fudging PLAY THEM WHERE THEY WORK and PLAY THE IN-FORM ONES and PLAY THE ONES WITH SOME VIBE AND SPIRIT!!!!

Play Tel at CF instead of Solanke.
Play Savio off the left with Udogie or Roberto's given license to go outside.
Play Kudus off the right
Play Marmoush as a 'second striker/10' off Tel
Play Tonali and Fernandes TOGETHER
Look to PASS QUICKLY
Look to put balls in over the top sometimes (I'm looking at JPVH)

I'd best stop...

I would have gone with this too, only exception I’d have played Tosin.

To not play Fernandes in cm is pretty mental. He’s basically our best player.

Also the fact I’d rather see Tel up front says a lot for my hopes on Solanke.

Either way COYS!! But strange team.

 

[SubZero]

Legendary Creature?

Humankind can only cope with a certain amount of Fernandes.

 

[Robspur12]

Strange selection from RDZ. Lacks creativity and no blocker or pace in the CBs. Let's see how we go.

 

[SirPercyHotspur]

In the first match of season our back four against Brentford was Gray, Senesi, Hecke and Robertson , our midfield was Bergval, Tonali and Gallaher and we conceded three , any advance on three ???

 

[Zavod 311]

not sure I'll bother watching. we know the result

 

[Bullet]

There must be some masterplan by RDZ.
Will we sit really deep and play on the break... will we use Bergvall and Gallagher to press really high up... what is the cunning masterplan here, as it looks like a bad selection right now.

 

[Bullet]

RDZ confirms VdV and Bentancur had a heavy workload, so we are being cautious with them.
Said Senesi is a first team player just like VdV and JPVH.
Said we have a strong squad with players able to slot in seamlessly.
Did not mention anyone else.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Another defeat incoming. "Its happening again, its happening again. Two Points from eight games. It's happening again"

Harry could be on red alert in 24 hours

you can fit a continent in the space they'll leave behind after their press is bypassed

 

[harr1984]

Out of curiosity what are the outrageous choices here? Excluding Senesi paired with Van Hecke I don't see what all the issues are?

Kudus and Savio on their right sides, Gallagher has done better than others available in the 10 role, Porro injured, people asking for Bergvall to be given more chances, Solanke is an actual CF when the apparent conclusion is Markoush isn't?

Also we have no idea on the effect of internationals on certain players....Not arguing strongly that this selection is right one, just want to know what all the errors are he's apparently made with this selection that I've missed?

 

[Mrs Vert]

That team looks really ugly
Lacks pace and lacks creativity
Got to hope there is a plan

Whatever you think is gonna happen is gonna happen. Why is Berg starting? I am not even watching. Off to see a play instead

Good luck buttercups
