So reading thru the overnight posts Top Gun doesn’t think it is a bad result if we lose to Spurs and others think a point is a good result.

Sorry but if you want to be taken seriously as a club - win your home games and particularly against your local rival.

We have three left backs, so we are selling one, I don't see why it has to be more to it than that. Monreal probably wanted to go, and we let him leave because he's been a good servant to the club. Tierney is clearly thought of as the guy going forward and until then we have Kolasinac.


I wasn’t clear - I meant until Tierney is fit. Kola isn’t a defender.

Got it. Truly hope that doesn't happen, hard to see how three/five at the back has ever helped us. Think Kolasinac is better than he showed last year too. Defensively suspect at times but he's carved out a pretty decent career for himself as a left back, it has to be said.

MU drew Ston, despite going 1-0 ahead, and playing more than 20 minutes against 10 men. Sink deeper they go :53big-emoticons:


And then Chelsea dropped 2 points while ahead. Sink, sink, sink :53big-emoticons:

The clubs below the City and Liverpool are starting a little slow out the gate. It may turn out to be a 2 horse race from the start. We look decent of the rest. Top 4 looking better if the the rest of the top 6 struggle. Lamps and OGS may continue to struggle. Next to Poch, we have the best manager of the lot. This is looking like an "interesting" season so far.

No I said a point is a decent result considering yesterday’s results.

Which it is. Obviously a win would be better

I’d be disappointed with anything but 3 points today. We need home wins and at least a draw away from the games v Man U, Chelsea, spurs....and Leicester, Everton, Wolves.

Sounds simple but if you forget Liverpool/city, win home and away vs all the teams in the bottom half and beat the teams from 4th-10th at home you’d have 81 points. Doesn’t matter what you do away from home against the top 10. We have got to be looking at at least 16 home wins this season.

Spurs have problems at right back, maybe having to use sissoko or dier there, play our top 3 and get Aubameyang attacking their RB and Pépé destroying Rose. Would love to see Torreira/Guendouzi/Cellabos midfield seems to be the perfect blend of players. But Xhaka will start and Willock would be unfortunate to be dropped. Spurs missing ndombele, their central midfield is going to look weak, cellabos needs to dominate and dictate everything in the middle of the park. I’ll go for 3-1 to The Arsenal

I think we're going to win today. Tempo will be everything. We need to vary our play too, not play out from the back every time, go long early if we need to, Luiz has the range to do that. I'm going 2-1

Asking for 3 points is a huge ask for a few reasons. Expecting 3 points in our glory era early 00s was a big ask well and when we won it was never easy. It's an NLD. They have had a better side than us for a few years now. They have a far more settled XI than we do and man for man, they can claim to have a better side.

While I would love to win obviously, I think it will be a scoring draw, 1 or 2 each. I don't see our defence ever having a clean sheet against any side in the top 6, even at home. Even if we score first, and the expected onslaught, I doubt we will keep them from scoring. If we win we will need 2 goals at a bare minimum and probably 3.

I don't think it's an expectation, just think we're good at home and will respond from last week's result. Certainly not a given but think we will turn them over.

I think today's game is one that is very difficult to call. I would like to think that if we play a front three of Aubameyang, Lacazette and Pépé we might just have the edge with the firepower to win the match.

However, as last seasoned showed the Spuds can beat anyone on their day and in Harry Kane they have a striker who might only have three touches but score three goals.

Our defence, as always, is the issue. Will we play a back three now that Monreal has gone?

Need a big game from somebody. You’ve got to think an 8/9 out of 10 from one of Aubameyang Lacazette Pépé or Ceballos should see us win I think. The odds of that are pretty good I think.

That’s my completely rational logical reasoning for why we’re going to win.

I always find myself wondering why this diving in isn’t coached out of him. Why does he keep on going to ground?

Or why he can’t work it out for himself? Plain stupid.

The imbalance in quality in areas of our squad is quite remarkable.

Astonishing that we haven’t had a proper defence for so long. Our forwards must wonder what the heck is going on behind them.
