Big game feel

Be a tough game, not getting too overconfident. Come on United!

Barca missing Pedri, Gavi & Dembele - that's a lot of speed, I quite fancy Weggy putting in an early reducer on Busquets as well - get right £#%&!ing up them from the kick off.

Got a proper buzz on, excited by the football we've been playing (especially that Sancho goal the other day) & Casimero is nicely rested

With all that in mind, going 2-1 Barca & Varane with a hammy (6 weeks)

"we want glazers out.... !"

I think we win but Barca is much improved from last season and have the quality to turn us over. If it happens the positive is that we will almost certainly win the league.

But a big night can really set alight the Ten Hag era. Make no mistake, our performance last week was phenomenal. They are 8 points clear of the team that put 5 past the scousers after going 2-0 down on a cl night...

So you added an Ajax in disarray to my list and Roma. Mourinho or not, Romas squad lacks quality. Mourinho is Mourinho though. He can beat anyone, anywhere.

Casemiro. Sabitzer
Bruno. Weggy Sancho
Rashford


Though I have a sneaky feeling he will play Fred ahead of sabitzer just to have that energy in midfield
.

Did think he will play Fred. Should be ok, Barca missing key players. We are at home etc etc

Fred

Doesn't get any better than that

My biggest concern but at least we have a viable option on the bench. Antony & Garnacho also gives us some proper attacking choices as well.

2-1. Rashford to score last.

Strong team and bench

3-2 United.

Extra time winner.

No extra time ffs

Think that’s our first XI now, taking injuries into account.

I think it will be tight and will go to pens.

Fear you are right on the ref and the red card

3-1 United. 😎

would rather see sabi instead of fred.

normally, I would prefer a 3-man midfield, too, but.... I think I actually prefer our dcf to fred in midfield.

I love fred and I wish him well, but I would not cry if a bus ran him over.

Fred over Sabitzer is nonsense

I expected Dalot, but he is sometimes a bit too cavalier. Fred was great in the first leg so I understand that.
