00:08My name is Ayomidi Shuzbo and this is The Nutmeg.
00:19Two of the most underperforming teams in the English Premier League face each other in
00:24North London territory. This weekend is Tottenham Hotspur up against Manchester United and
00:29yes a preview of a game. My name is Ayomidi Shuzbo and this is The Nutmeg on Cardio TV.
00:40So of course we have Manchester United apologetic in the building. Organ always a poster boy
00:45for the Red Devils. How are you doing Organ? I'm good. Thank you very much for having
00:49me again. You sound sad. It's not familiar territory for you. 13th place. Yes, we are
00:58not used to being in 13th position. Not even at the bottom table. But it is what it is
01:07now. A lot of things have happened to Manchester United. Let's talk about the match. So let's
01:16talk about the game proper. Well, the last time that these sides met was at Old Trafford.
01:22But it was a cup game by the way. Tottenham Hotspur prevailed. So there's a bit of a grudge
01:29game in this one. But also not just for that reason. 3-0 at Old Trafford much earlier in
01:35the season as well. Do you think that Manchester United can break the dock of losses this season?
01:41Yes, I feel that so far so good. Manchester United have been better than Tottenham. But
01:47I know that one of the issues Tottenham faced so far is injury crisis. There are many of
01:53their players on injury. While Manchester United, yeah, we have some persons too on
02:00injury. But you can still say that the Manchester United team is a more complete team compared
02:07to that of Tottenham Hotspur. Where do you think this game will be won and lost? What
02:11will determine? I mean, the injury is already a factor going into the game. But if you are
02:15telling me that maybe Man United will win, where do you think it could be won? What factors
02:21would make them win? Or what factors could make Spurs lose?
02:25Okay, so I already mentioned the fact that they have injury crisis and for Tottenham,
02:31they have to start building with the FIDAS team. Some of the FIDAS team players were
02:37already doing that. Mickey Moore, Begvall, they already have the likes of Achi Grey.
02:42Achi Grey, by the way, is a midfielder playing in central defence.
02:45So you look at that, someone who is supposed to be playing in the midfield, playing in
02:51the defence, you see an Hoylund going against that kind of player, you feel like...
02:57Hoylund, by the way, has not been fantastic. Let's talk about the striking reinforcements
03:02that Man United have. Hoylund or Zegzi, who would you rather start?
03:05Yeah, I think that it's high time Amorim starts to explore the two of them on the pitch of
03:11play. Already we know that Zegzi is a 9.5 striker and Hoylund is a 9.5. So I think that
03:22the previous game we had Zegzi and Hoylund on pitch and we saw a beautiful game and I
03:28think we can actually exploit that. I think I'll just go for Zegzi more because
03:32of his Nigerian descent. I mean, RoboSize is named. And he's done better than, to be
03:38fair, he's done better than Hoylund. I mean, Hoylund was signed for 72 million.
03:44Yes, but if you look at this season, it has been a different season compared to last season.
03:50I think he was growing, he was coming up. But there seems to be a regression as well.
03:55Yes, the regression is not from him. I think it's from the style of play, the new style
04:00of play and from the midfield. So are you defending Hoylund now?
04:05Not fully defending him, but I feel that we don't have creative midfielders in Manchester
04:10United. So what's Bruno Fernandes?
04:13He does not have the opportunity to even play.
04:15Making excuses for one player, but then what's the prediction? Let's just leave it at that.
04:19What's the prediction for this game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
04:23So I'll go with a 2-0 or 2-1 because sometimes... For who?
04:29Was I expecting anything different?
04:30Yeah.
04:33But I see Manchester United going through on this one.
04:35Okay, we'll see about that. But thank you very much for the thoughts.
