in one word " Yes "
Only a fool would underrate a Mourinho team.Yeah, we're pretty underrated by people which suits us well, people will come up against us unprepared but if we can get our best players playing well then we have a real chance. That being said I think we need to ditch the 2 man midfield in big games, Pogba and Matic are brilliant players but it's so easy to play around a 2 man midfield as a 3 which a lot of the European teams play.
Who?I can't see how you can say that considering how good City are.
Real, in their current form, is no better than Liverpool or Spurs or Utd. I think we have better chance of winning CL than EPL. Ironically, due to runaway lead of Barca, BM, PSG and City, apart from these 4 teams, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs, can afford to rest players between CL games and put higher priority on CL progress. let's see who we will face in QF.Realistically being the key word. Obviously everyone still in it has a chance, but only a few can realistically do it.
PSG, Real, Barca, city
Sanchez may just be a game changer. We've got a brilliant core. De Gea, Bailly, Matic, Pogba, Martial, Sanchez, Lukaku. If you get those players playing well and kept fit, I don't see any reason why United can't do it.
Also we do generally tend to win it in this part of the decade..
Thoughts?
di matteo won it with chelsea. anything is possible.Rafa did it liverpool,mou did it with feckin porto.. Well why not.
Interesting you left out Liverpool,I'm not sure if we could beat them over 2 legs.Barca and PSG are probably our biggest threats. I believe we can beat Real and City in a two leg tie.
A very sensible post.One step at a time. Lets get past Sevilla first.
It's three games. It's top end opposition. It will take composure (Marcus! Breathe. Do yoga. Fall in love.), it will take a measure of luck, too. I am certain we can beat Real. Barca and one of the English teams our biggest threat, I would say. And yes, of course it's possible. If we won it, or even do very well in it, we become even more attractive to emerging elite footballers. After that, we need the summer of all signing summers. And...Statistically- Yes
Realistically- No
