    I'd say he knows what his best team is. He picks the starting 11 based on who he sees as in form and how he wants the team to pay. It's not going to be the same 11 every game.

    Amad at 10 instead of mount was the only selection prediction I got wrong.

    Don't really like the line up, mazraoui is a terrible rwb going forward, but not a surprising line up.

    It’s interesting alright. Couple of players being given an opportunity to stake a claim for a place. Need to have some level of choice so it’s good.

    Not 100% how Maz, Shaw and Dorgu will line out. Would think RWB, LCB & LWB but I guess you could even go RCB, LWB & RWB.


    Amad on the right with Mbeumo rotating from the 9 role maybe. Excited for the game.

    Fairly pleased with the team. This is going to be same as the Liverpool game tactics I think, which is our best chance.

    Step forward Jack Fletcher as today's token academy graduate.

    Simon Harris is monitoring the situation...

    i dont think so. dalot for example should have been dropped after the liverpool game.

    in terms of best 11, i dont think anyone knows what it is, including the manager.

    I can understand a logic behind the selections. I do fear it feels like a good few of these decisions didn't work in the cup final, and we'll see the same result today.

    For who though? Dorgu has been just as bad if not worse. I think it’s pretty clear he doesn’t fancy any of his fullback options.

    Amad his best but a defensive liability as he mentioned after Forest game.

    I felt that apart from Mount for Amad, and then a toss up between Dalot, Dorgu and Mazroui for the two full back slots - the team largely picked itself.

    this will be the end of my negativity for a while….3 changes results in 6 positional changes. thats a lot.

    lets wait and see i guess

    and this who we're up against. they do have a good team but are fair riddled with injuries.

    Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Van, Spence, Palhinha, Sarr, Johnson, Simons, Kolo Muani, Richarlison.

    Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Tel, Udogie, Odobert, Bentancur, Scarlett, Akhamrich, Rowswell.

    Always get the feeling that there’s more in Maz than he’s done so far.

    That is **** awful Cuhna and Amad walking forward to "press" and spurs have two free lads behind them no pressure on them from behind so press is a mess not sure why.

    The 12.30 kick off is horrible. Worse again when the team is away. Nearly always a brutal match to watch too.

    Decent pressing from United now is seeing these looking venerable

    Dorgu has a long way to go.

    Match atmosphere and energy is a bit low.
