Watch us scrap to a 1-0 win here.
You really trust that defence? With the likes of Smalling and Young against Messi?Watch us scrap to a 1-0 win here.
First freekick we give away could be a problem. They make sure they get them round our box and I do not trust our lot to not go diving in. Messi rarely misses them.Barca are not doing that well , Messi is holding them together.
If we can stop him , we have a slim chance of a result, but if not he could rip us apart and I fear a drubbing worse than the 6-1 City gave us.
We will probably play on the counter attack so I'm thinking to return to the first attack Ole started with.Lukaku instead of Lingard, Herrera instead of Pogba and that should be the team I’d go with.
Barcelona is shocking on the road in the CL KO for the past few years. Might not help much though. Hope this won't be the game where they get over their away slump.We've been shocking at home in Europe this year.
Considering ticket holders pay a premium for these games, they've been a miserable experience with nothing for the fans to get behind.
- One goal so far in four games and that was in injury time by a player (Fellaini) who has since left.
- Worst ever European defeat at home: 0-2, i.e. we had never previously lost by a two-or-more goal margin at home in Europe.
A win would be fantastic, just scoring would be lovely.

We didn't pull up trees on the road in our last 3 games eitherBarcelona is shocking on the road in the CL KO for the past few years. Might not help much though.
So people say, but other than that Roma result, where have they lost unexpectedly? If they've lost, it has generally been against another top side in a tough draw. Is drawing away at Lyon and Chelsea really what we are clutching at?Barcelona is shocking on the road in the CL KO for the past few years. Might not help much though.

Because of the contract? If not, don't see why we wouldn't play him. He's been much better than Pereira.Tend to agree
Young, Hererra and Matic shouldn't feature for us again this season
He's been shite for a couple of games now, his head's been turned by PSG and he looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.Because of the contract? If not, don't see why we wouldn't play him. He's been much better than Pereira.
Neither losing to PSG or Juventus was unexpected, but the scoreline really could have been better.So people say, but other than that Roma result, where have they lost unexpectedly?

I think we will be lucky to keep it to 30-3 Barcelona.
We'll be lucky to get 0

I was just about to post the response and then I read it. Agreed!Lukaku instead of Lingard, Herrera instead of Pogba and that should be the team I’d go with.
I'm going for 20-30. We'll count in the match day thread?Can you place a bet on the number of hopeless long balls that will be played?
Exactly what I'd go with. Set up to hit them on the counter and hope they have a bad finishing day.De Gea
