Does anyone else think our preparation for the Manchester United game is awful. We play Tuesday and Wednesday in the Audi Cup and then assuming the players have a day off Thursday and we travel to Manchester Friday we will have no preparation time for Saturdays midday game.
Now I know Poch's tactics are pretty set and he is unlikely to make any special arrangements for Manchester United but we clearly will have no time to even make the minimal plans for the game.
Also how do we take the Audi Cup. Do we just take it easy and get thrashed or do we try to perform and risk injury to the players.
The whole thing appears to me to be a disaster waiting to happen.

Chronic, we got no chance at old Trafford mate. 3-0 United. I don't think we are prepared enough for one and I still think we are weak in midfield and are a injury in Kane away from completely ruining our season. Transfers should of all been tied up ages ago

3-0 is about right I think
Not too bothered about getting no points as its a game we don't exactly have a history of success in , but we mustn't get totally outplayed and I will be furious if we are not looking fit

but yeah that stupid your of Australia after the season. And lack of meaningful pre season friendlies agains quality opposition and international travel so close to the start of the season is total bollox
Obviously not poch's fault about the travel. I hear he was against the USA journey but it was forced on him for commercial reasons

I think it will be 3-0 but I would still be furious. Poch has to stop the rot and stop us conceding goals for fun. I won't accept another season of defensive fuc. k ups every single game. We might be weak in other areas but defence we have rectified. No excuses.

I think Spurs should just start the youth team in the Audi cup, and maybe give his first XI players a run out for the last 20 minutes.
I`m with Don, the defence seriously needs to up its game. I have only just watched the recorded MLS game, and in a game that Spurs totally dominated they still managed to gift the opposition a 2-0 nil lead inside 20 minutes through awful defending, and could have conceded another two or three in the last five minutes through more poor defending. Don`t seem to matter what combination Poch puts out they still find a way to concede.
I think the team may well surprise everybody this season, but they really do have to stop conceding soft goals.

Don, I really do not see Spurs not scoring at Old Trafford, United are equally as bad defensively as Spurs. United are a bit of a mish mash to me. Lots of money spent, but not any clear definite first XI. And will all the new players be ready to start, I doubt it. I am banking on Spurs young team to show plenty of high energy, which may surprise United.

Hope you are right sandy but we got battered at old Trafford last season and being 1st day with them right up for it i can't see anything but a Spurs loss

Man utd bad defence is just a myth. If we have our players fit we have one of the strongest defences in the league.
We actually restricted the opposition to the fewest shots against our goal last season but some reason get slated for our defence being shocking when that was our strength last season.

Shush hafi. Is there a single Man U conversation anywhere on the whole of ja606 that doesn't have a comment by you?
