PSG vs Man Utd | Build-up Thread | Return leg Wednesday 06.03

[broccoli]

City's the only English side who'll go through.

 

[Okey]

I'd like a Spurs-Dortmund and United-PSG please. City to get frustrated and beaten 1-0 by Atletico over 2 legs.

Your crystal ball must be first rate. Patent it!

 

[alsabi]

Have we ever faced PSG before? Other than pre-season friendlies.

No

 

[WensleyMU]

Shame. Was hoping for a big European team and a proper CL night.

 

[K2K]

Honestly don't care.

PSG can mutilate us if they want. No one at this club cares anyway.

 

[izec]

City's the only English side who'll go through.

Liverpool too

 

[K2K]

Shame. Was hoping for a big European team and a proper CL night.

PSG probably wanted the same.

 

[Pagh Wraith]

Dortmund should give Tottenham a good game. The only true 50-50 for me.

 

[Raw]

PSG probably wanted the same.

Oof

 

[charlenefan]

Schalke - City
Atletico - Juve
United - PSG
Spurs - Dortmund
Lyon - Barca
Roma - Porto
Ajax - Madrid
Liverpool - Bayern

 

[AndyMUFC]

Well we’re shite and almost certain to lose but they’re no great shakes themselves despite the players they have so a slight glimmer?

 

[SCP]

Could have been worse for Porto. Honestly can see Atletico Madrid knocking out Juventus.

 

[SER19]

This is going to be the biggest humiliation in our CL history.

Calm the feck down

 

[giorno]

When Florentino said "FCB to play liverpool" he meant FC Barcelona, not Bayern, you dumb UEFA twats

 

[WensleyMU]

PSG probably wanted the same.

And that's what they got.

Big doesn't mean best after all.

 

[MuranoLover]

Bring it on , babes !

 

[giorno]

Could have been worse for Porto. Honestly can see Atletico Madrid knocking out Juventus.

Totti and the Porto guy were both laughing like "Get in!!!! Oh you too? "

 

[RedSky]

Dortmund should give Tottenham a good game. The only true 50-50 for me.

Agreed. That should be two really good games.

PSG is probably our worst case scenario IMO.

 

[11101]

Only City of all English teams will go through.

Poor draw for England it is, terrible for Manchester United, but there were 99.9% of chances for that, so no surprise.

As far as potential opposition go i'd rather PSG than most of them. Only Porto and arguably Dortmund might be easier.

 

[SCP]

@broccoli I can see you reaching the last 8 without injuries or suspensions.

 

[minoo-utd]

Easy draw for Madrid and Barca of course.

 

[ArmandTamzarian]

No better time to play Bayern I suppose, Robben still scares me though.

 

[K2K]

And that's what they got.

Big doesn't mean best after all.

United are a big club. One of the biggest in the world. Big team they are not. One of the poorer teams left in the competition.

 

[2 man midfield]

We'll do them.

Then get knocked out by Porto in the next round.

 

[giorno]

We'll get PSG. I can feel it in the air. Neymar vs Matic

Give me lotto numbers man

 

[Morpheus 7]

Neymar up against big Phil Jones and his new white boots.

 

[Bubz27]

Hopefully Jose really really really enjoys Paris.

 

[T_Model101]

Bayern could be a very different animal come February
I wouldn't be surprised if Ajax dump Madrid out though

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

I can see Ajax getting an upset over the current state of Real Madrid.

 

[red4ever 79]

Bah, who cares. I am so uninspired by anything relating to Man Utd anymore.

 

[izec]

Schalke - City, pretty easy
Atletico - Juve, close tie, but Juve should go through
United - PSG, straight forward really
Spurs - Dortmund, close, but BvB will beat them
Lyon - Barca, easy
Roma - Porto, could be close, Roma arent that good this year
Ajax - Madrid, if Real dont improve, this could be closer than people think. Ajax in great form
Liverpool - Bayern, close, but Liverpool are too good for Bayern at the moment.

 

[minoo-utd]

Jose will sign more defenders do not worry.

 

[SteveJ]

Jesse's just launched a brown shorts line.

 

[Barnslig]

Bah, who cares. I am so uninspired by anything relating to Man Utd anymore.

This. Atleast we get to see Mbappe and Neymar perform under the flood lights.

 

[Alex99]

This is going to be the biggest humiliation in our CL history.

We finished 3rd in the group behind Wolfsburg and PSV in 2015, 3rd behind Benfica and Basel in 201, and bottom of a group containing Villarreal, Benfica and Lille in 2005.

Unless we end up losing by double figures I don't think we'll quite reach those levels of embarrassment.

 

[broccoli]

@broccoli I can see you reaching the last 8 without injuries or suspensions.

We have a chance but still will depend a lot how both teams are when the match comes.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Another tie which will show us and (hopefully) the clowns running the club that how far we have fallen.

 

[Raw]

[Mourinhonista]

If Mourinho were to get the sack in the upcoming weeks, i think i would really look forward to playing PSG. Just imagine for a sec., most players revitalised, Sanchez back to his best and having a proper go at them.
I think we could take them out, then reality kicks in, 8 players defending, Lukaku missing header after header, our best attacking player gets off at half time and we lose by a couple of goals, how fecking depresssing can it get.

 

[SCP]

Totti and the Porto guy were both laughing like "Get in!!!! Oh you too? "

Yeah Fernando Gomes their former player. Roma under Spalletti self imploded against them on a playoff with their players getting red cards on both games. It will be open if the feckers don't have injuries, they have a short squad for this level.
