Tottenham Hotspurs vs Manchester United



Hanya berselang 2 hari setelah boxing day (Jum'at, 26/12), club club di liga Inggris harus kembali saling berhadapan di hari minggunya, match day #19 , sekaligus match terakhir paruh musim 2014/15.

United akan menyambangi Spurs, Minggu saat lunch time kick off, tepat tengah hari waktu London sono.

Never easy to play at Lane, apalagi setelah kemenangan 6 kali beruntun United dihentikan saat away ke Villa park, sabtu kemarin.

Harus rotasi. Mudah2an nggak ada yg cedera pas lawan Newcastle. Bek kayaknya fit semua kecuali Smalling.

[tumpal_oneunited]

Rotasi..rotasi..dan rotasi.
Sebenernya United era LvG udh berpengalaman sih dengan rotasi,,,walopun alasannya bukan karena jadwal padat,,tetapi karena pemain yang pada cedera..
Semoga bisa membawa pulang 3 angka dari white hart lane minggu besok. Amin.

[goodmin]

Lamela cetak gol indah yg perlu diwaspadai juga selain Erikssen. Ditambah striker lulusan akademinya yg justru lebih moncer daripada Soldado + Adebayor, Hary Kane. Semoga Spurs penyakitnya masih, bagusnya cuma lawan tim-tim kecil.

Harry Kane semalam kembali cetak gol begitu juga dengan Erikssen. Mereka harus diwaspadai termasuk Naser Chadli.

Melihat Rafael sudah bermain di Boxing Day semalam, sepertinya ia sudah siap kembali masuk starting XI gantikan Valencia. Valencia akhir- akhir ini bagus namun untuk roling pemain sebaiknya Rafael yang main duluan. IMO.

Preview: Spurs v United


Scene-setter: Manchester United return to action with a trip to London just two days after the Reds' last match – a comfortable*3-1 victory over Newcastle United at Old Trafford. The next stage of United's busy festive period presents a chance to extend the side's unbeaten run to nine games and an opportunity to consolidate third place in the Premier League, while chasing Chelsea and Manchester City.

Form guide: An away trip won't be daunting for United, who are unbeaten in the last three fixtures on the road, and are second only to local rivals City in the Premier League form table after wins for both teams on Boxing Day. Spurs have developed a tendency of snatching victories recently, with all of their last three league matches ending 2-1 in their favour. Such a habit has seen Mauricio Pochettino's side rise to sixth in the table, with five points standing between the Reds and this weekend's opponents.

Team news: Chris Smalling could feature after making the bench for the clash with Newcastle, although Angel Di Maria is doubtful after picking up a knock ahead of the Magpies meeting. Adnan Januzaj is unavailable due to illness, while compatriot Marouane Fellaini and Daley Blind are also certain absentees.*Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera are aiming to make comebacks soon and could be involved. Tottenham's Ryan Mason overcame an ankle knock to come on as a half-time substitute against Leicester City on Friday, and Kyle Walker has re-established himself at right-back after a long-term lay-off.

Last league meeting: Danny Welbeck's goal couldn't prevent Spurs from*leaving Old Trafford with all three points on New Year's Day as Emmanuel Adebayor and Christian Eriksen clinched a 2-1 away win.

Did you know? United are unbeaten in the last 13 trips to White Hart Lane, stretching back to*2001. Since then, this fixture has produced an average of 2.8 goals a game and there were four in last season’s encounter, a 2-2 draw in which Wayne Rooney scored twice to take his tally to six goals in eight appearances for the Reds at Spurs’ home.

Rivals watch: Leaders Chelsea visit Southampton at 14:05 GMT, while second-placed Manchester City host Burnley at 15:00 and Arsenal make the short trip to West Ham at the same time. Liverpool and Swansea are the only Premier League sides not in action on Sunday –*they meet at Anfield on Monday night.

Match officials: Jonathan Moss will officiate his second United game of the season – he was the referee for the Reds’ 2-1 home win over Stoke at the start of this month. He’ll be assisted by two Simons, Bennett and Long, while Lee Mason is the fourth official.

Sempat liat highlight pertandingan Tottenham semalam. Mereka bisa dibilang beruntung karena serangan bertubi-tubi tuan rumah tidak disertai dgn penyelesaian akhir yg baik.

Apalagi kejadian kontroversi dimana wasit tdk memberikan penalti kpd tuan rumah padahal sudah jelas pelanggaran dilakukan pemain Tottenham. Serangan Leicester kebanyakan dari sisi kiri pertahanan Tottenham, ini bisa dimanfaatkan United dgn kecepatan kang tono. Tak sabar melihat gol-gol caem lainnya dari United besok

The442 Preview: Tottenham vs Man United

Billed as...
Two works-in-progress finally progressing.


The lowdown

Oh what a difference a month makes. Not so long ago, fans of both Tottenham and Manchester United were bemoaning the season's "disappointing" results, as their nearest rivals made hay ahead of them.

For the Old Trafford faithful, a porous defence brought much concern; at White Hart Lane, calamitous organisation and unbalanced tactical selections drew hefty criticism. There seemed to be neither co-ordination nor cohesion to either team's performances.

Thankfully, the festive season has applied some wrapping paper to the cracks –*and a little tinsel, too. United have taken 22 points out of the last 24 and Spurs have lost only once in their last seven league games, including a jammy Boxing Day win at Leicester.

Certainly, both teams have ridden their luck for extended periods, though both sides have shown flashes of brilliance. However, it's likely that sleepless nights –*the kind generated by headless chicken defending –*will have dogged both Louis van Gaal and Mauricio Pochettino of late.

There is good news for both teams, here. For United, the return of Michael Carrick has delivered calm in front of United's sometimes slapdash back four; Wayne Rooney has found a seam of creativity in the midfield position that previously caused him much consternation under Sir Alex Ferguson. At Spurs, the prolific form of Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen continues to bring important goals.

The bad lies at the back. Too often, both Hugo Lloris and David de Gea have been drawn into man-of-the-match performances between their respective posts as their defenders have committed a showreel of bloopers ahead of them.

The upshot? Well, in a game that promises a barrage of attacking football, the spoils will probably go to the side most capable of holding their nerve at the back.

Team news
Both Aaron Lennon and Emmanuel Adebayor have been conspicuous through their absence at White Hart Lane of late, while Ryan Mason wasn't at his effervescent best following an ankle injury sustained against Burnley. Apart from that, a full squad is available.

United's main injury concern is Angel Di Maria, who succumbed to a pelvic injury in training over Christmas. Adnan Januzaj and Marouane Fellaini are doubts after contracting the Christmas flu, but Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera are approaching game time.

Player to watch: Wayne Rooney (Man United)
There has been much debate regarding United's captaincy this year (isn't there always?). Talk of those 100 caps at international level, his likelihood of success under Van Gaal and a position among the pantheon of Old Trafford greats has ricocheted around press rooms, ad nauseum.

Rooney has responded in typical fashion by busting a gut to prove his detractors wrong.
Against Newcastle, he was deployed in a Paul Scholes-style central midfield role where he both created (2 chances created) and destroyed (2 tackles, 1 interception), bringing 1 assist and scoring twice. His performance –*busting with energy and intelligence –*yet again hinted at a prolonged future at the highest level should speed leave him in the latter stages of his career. Spurs' flimsy midfield will be quaking.

The managers
Pochettino has delivered a stiff warning to his players following signs of complacency during their ragged win at the King Power Stadium. "We started very well and after scoring early maybe we thought we’d have an easy game, but in the Premier League you never have an easy game," he said. "In the Premier League it’s impossible to be relaxed. The level in our league is high and Leicester deserved more."
Despite their Boxing Day victory over Newcastle, King Louis is miffed at the Premier League's hectic Christmas schedule. "With FIFA and UEFA's rules it's forbidden to play within 48 hours. In England, it's okay," he said. "I cannot prepare my team like I have to prepare. We have unit meetings, and team meetings, we have training –*11 against 11 –*and assimilating opponents… we cannot do that now."

LAST FIVE MEETINGS
United 1-2 Spurs (PL, Jan 14)
Spurs 2-2 United*(PL, Dec 13)
Spurs 1-1 United*(PL, Jan 13)
