Tottenham will host Manchester United tomorrow in 18:30 in week 2 game of this season Premier League. Manchester United didn't look good against Wolves. If you ask me they didn't deserve to win that game. Wolves missed a lot of chances, but United managed to win thanks to suspended referees. Someone would say big clubs find way to win even when they don't play on top of their possibilities. Tottenham on the other side looked solid against Brentford in 2:2 draw and someone would think Spurs have chance in this game. I might be deluded but not to that level.
First I don't believe in Tottenham front three. Kulusevski can't beat man in front of him, can't hit the goal and it seems he can't cross or make good final pass any more. Richarlison can't control and keep the ball and his wrong mindset came out again this week. He won't shake hands with Antonio when Spurs face West Ham because Antonio and Wilson joked with his last season record and so many yellow cards for scoring goals which would be later disallowed. Instead of thinking how to trick Martinez and Varane and how to score vs Manchester he thinks about Antonio from West Ham! LoL! What to tell about Son ? He was not on his level against Brentford. He made more damage than good in that game. Made penalty, missed chance. I'd tell he's not fully fit and not in form. There is worse problem than attacking three. It's protocol which will prevent Romero to play this game. He feels well, but Ange will follow protocol for head injuries and will not put him in the squad tomorrow! Missing of Christiano Romero in defense will leave to big gap backward. His replacement Sanchez was solid against Brentford, but that is not going to be the case against top attackers from Man United. All his flaws in defense like bad positioning, bad marking will be exposed tomorrow.
Add to that tradition and how poor we play against Red Devils and you'll get to inevitable conclusion which is we are going to lose that game easily. I just hope it will not be with to big goal margin. United forwards are very fast and we want to play high line attacking free flow football. It's going to be tough watch.
Add to that match officials where Michael Oliver ( a.k.a Sir Oliver from Alan Ford comics) will be main referee while Craig Pawson ( a.k.a. Arteta's winker) will be V.A.R. official and you will have full picture. If by some accident we threaten United with something they will surely make this game go in right direction PGMOL wants.
My prediction for this game is 0:3 and I hope it will not go above 3.
Good thing is we'll know how far away we are from top clubs in Premier League this season. There will be also two protests tomorrow. One opposite of club shop in 13 o'clock UK time held by LevyOut people and another on other place 2 hours later lead by Tottenham Hotspur Supporter Trust against to high ticket prices. I saw disturbing story about that on twitter. There was a thread in which one England based Tottenham supporter explained how and why he can't go to games with his kids like he did with his father when he was kid. If kids can't access stadium there will be no new Tottenham fans because you build love toward football club and football in general during childhood. I hope a lot of people will come on both protests and send those cons of owners important message.
He went because of you, he went because of you, Daniel Levy he went because of you!
