The Premier League 2023/24

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Luton are a funny one, they normally concede first and when that happens they take it personally and turn into prime Barca

3 at the back gives them an extra man in midfield and the tight ground is not conducive to a broad expansive game. You can see how they're decent at home. 

Id match them up and go toe to toe. Dominguez, Yates and Sangare would be robust.

Think this is how we should approach away games or home games against the very top teams. Sacrifice Hudson Odoi for the extra man in midfield.
I would probably go Danilo Dominguez plus Sangare/Yates.

CHO's becoming pretty influential Salv. Would he be better in a tight physical game than Elanga?

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Unbelievable performance from Luton there to come away with nothing.
59% possession and 22 shots against one of the top 6 is very impressive.

Both Luton and Brentford play their game in hand this week.

Brentford away at Man City and Luton away at Liverpool.

Just my opinion Pap, I put on the other thread, CHO is indeed offering more but I think he is weak defensively if we are under the cosh away and Elanga gives you that pace on the break.
I would play a 4312, but what do I know?

[Paplane]

Wow, Utd hang on, and it was literally that, they hung on. Luton the better side for 80 minutes. Unfortunately for them they conceded twice in that period. Really good display. If they weren't a direct rival id be really wanting them to succeed. Not least because the so called football experts in this country unanimously suggested they had less than zero chance of staying up. Incidentally, those same experts were creaming themselves over Kompany's Burnley.

Presumably one would replace the other, so both would feature.

It is impressive but I thought Man Utd should’ve scored a lot more.

Luton are a bit kamikaze. They go for it but offer up a lot of chances. Need to take chances when play against them because they are hard to keep out.

Im wondering if the tight ground had an effect on the Utd players that were 1v1 against the keeper?

[Paplane]

Daylight now between us and Luton. They've lost two on the bounce now and the next game is Liverpool away on Wednesday (fingers crossed). Regardless of how you play, defeats sap confidence.

[DeesideRed]

I think ross Barkley for Luton has been what we hoped JL would have been for us and a bit more if I’m honest. We survived despite JL contributions you wonder if Luton we/would have. Hopefully the good man United show up today to keep Luton a win away from us

More Jonjo imo, been incredible this season, took the piss at times vs Utd.
