100% same for me too. Want to break the trophy hiatus and finish as high up the league table as possible.

Europa is congestion in my eyes and the fact we've pulled a glamour tie is blinding us to the bigger picture a bit...

no worries. we will do what we need to at home. I'm looking forward to seeing sabi n cass in midfield together.

1 nil united

La liga is shit this year. It’s been on a steady decline for 2-3 years now but it’s absolutely pitiful atm.

Go at them direct and with aggression and we’ll win this 2 or 3 nil.

Martial, The Scottish Player and Antony didn’t train today.

doesn't sound like de jong will be moving on any time soon...

Erik ten Hag has done so without the man he most wanted and who has, instead, become so decisive for Barcelona. One of the few players with a market and no clear role, Frenkie de Jong was encouraged by Barcelona to leave and United did all they could to get him. He resisted. And now, with the formation shifted to add an extra midfielder, another demonstration of the pragmatism underpinning their evolution, he has become fundamental. Ter Stegen could not be happier, as a friend and a footballer. Asked what the Dutchman brings, he fires back fast: “A lot.”

Bring in the long legs for Dalot and that's the way I see it too

Perma crocks all of them. Get in the bin.

Weren’t Barca sniffing round Dalot? Probably best we don’t play him, or they may change their mind.

The woman’s team maybe…

Because were beating them at old Trafford, they won't handle the atmosphere well ..they're not used to it, they play in COVID type stadiums week in week out ....

That's an interesting point you made there

if it stops him marking himself then i’m all for it.

this tie may be a tie too far given the quality of barca and our dodgy record against them but we shall see. i felt the same about psg in 2019.
