[Paddy. 10,345]

Let's not bother with Mendy, Gray and our number 10 on the wing eh Brendan?

Before today, if there was a league table for games since BR was appointed, we were third. You seriously need to get a grip and some perspective.

Ok, what's your prediction for team and score next week?

But we haven't played well this season though if we're honest though, have we?

 

Even though we were 3rd many of us were less optimistic at the start of the season because of the performances.

 

It was a bit reminiscent of the time we were top in October under Peter Taylor despite not playing well at all and most of us knew it was a false position.

If we have Perez , Tielmans and Iheanacho on the bench at about £100 million , people are going to talk , these players were bought to score goals ! Spurs are a big side physically and will get stuck into us straight away , coupled with having one of Europe's best strikers ( who didn't need to score today) this is going to be tough.

Ditch Puel-ball for a start and have a go at them. Bit embarrassing how much respect we paid a piss-poor Man United side today.

[Ian Nacho 2,063]

I'd give Praet a go. Had very little in midfield today. 

[Sampson 1,805]

Go back to a proper 4-2-3-1 with Maddison as a number 10 where he can actually influence the game and 2 wingers.

 

Schmeichel

 

Ricardo - Evans - Soyunchu - Chilwell

 

Tielemenas - Ndidi

 

Albrighton - Maddison - Barnes

 

Vardy

433 or 4231 it's pretty fluid. Just don't play Choudhury and Ndidi and don't play Maddison out wide. Simple.

[Corky 9,333]

The early season optimism lasted long, then?

[Harry96 411]

If we win this after that shite today I’d be content with that trade off.

The only certainty is that Kane will score. 

[Daveb5569 13]

cannot play two DM if we do it will be another loss

[FIF 6,349]

We need a fast get into them team.

 

I'll go with

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo

Evans

Soyuncu

Ughelumba (okay Chilwell but he is disappointing this season)

 

Choudhury

 

Tielemans

Madders

 

Albrighton

Vardy

Barnes

 

And attack, attack, attack on both attack and defence

Jesus Christ our first loss at Man Utd and people are turning on the manager already.

 

back what ever team he plays. He knows best.

Would like to see if Praet can offer something.

Not a bad idea. He’s supposed to tick all the boxes of an all round midfielder. 

 

But assuming we play a 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 with two wingers, who do we replace in midfield for Praet? 

[peterborofox 1,235]

Play our best eleven with best players in best position. If it means one of Ndidi or Hamza miss out than so be it

[Hammo 1,060]

The good news is Spurs are playing in Greece in the Champions League on Wed evening.

 

The bad news is that they are visiting the 'ever obliging Leicester City' without a Premier League away win since January (at Fulham)...

Fair enough I will put my money where my mouth is. 2-2. Normal back 5. Wilf. Maddy, Youri, Albo, Harvey, JV.

We are hit and miss, I get that. Don’t think it’s fair to draw comparisons with the Taylor era!! 😱

[Jattdogg 2,249]

Sheeeessssh, not an easy fixture. Either a draw or we get slapped.

 

If we win, i will go streaking

Assuming Rodgers refuses to utilise Tielemans correctly, we could put Praet in for him, and then Hamza in for Ndidi, with Maddison as the third mid. I reckon they could cover each other's deficiencies; Hamza isn't as strong as Ndidi defensively but he can be helped out by the presumably more active Praet, and Praet probably won't be as effective attacking as Tielemans but that will be helped by having a DM who can pass, starting attacks down the middle. 

 

Of course, I'm speculating and know little about football. I won't be upset if we don't see what I just suggested.
