I thought that's what we were expecting last week? Didn't really turn out that way.No need to throw away even a pence.
Calabria, Rebic, Leao and Romagnoli won't even make it to the bench tonight.
An unfit Zlatan and unfit Kjaer will probably be rushed back into the team due to the crisis.
Barely any of the starters are free from fitness problems.
As a Milan fan I just hope this won't be another huge embarrassing loss. You'll face Milan at our worst.
I’ll take your word for it...?!Tweet

No excuses tonight.
Yeah that's why I put Matic in there as almost a 3rd CB playing a little further forward but we don't do well with a back 5 if that is where you are going with that comment, i feel everytime we move to a back 5 we end up conceding, we just need to play our game right until the end and not be too defensive minded,They caused us some trouble last week with long balls from deep, straight down our centre back's throats, so we need to be very alert for second balls if Zlatan is playing because he will win the ball and flick on to any runners around him.
Calhanoglu? He has been terrible ever since he contracted corona.I thought that's what we were expecting last week? Didn't really turn out that way.
Having Kessie and Calhanoglu could be enough to see you through if we're not up to it.
Remember, we're also potentially rushing back Pogba and Rashford for this, and are without both of our most natural/experienced strikers.
Add to that us having to put Lindelof up against Ibra (albeit for 60 odd minutes or so) could be more than enough to inflict lasting damage on the tie.
It's far too close to call right now. If we play anywhere near the level we did the first leg, you'll advance through.
Haha, exactly!Very true. May be the best draw win the game
Problem with all these counter-attacking line ups is that we are the ones who will have to chase the game. We are out if we fail to score.Hoping for this.
Marcus and Mason as wide forwards.
Bruno as a 10/false 9 with some responsibilites on the right side, and Pogba as AM with some responsibility on the left side.
Fred as the engine/ball winner in the midfield, and Matic as the DM/shield.
Shaw as the offensive, creative full back, Spider-Wan as a defensive full back (going forward when needed/possible, of course.)
Oh god no, I don’t want a back 5!Yeah that's why I put Matic in there as almost a 3rd CB playing a little further forward but we don't do well with a back 5 if that is where you are going with that comment, i feel everytime we move to a back 5 we end up conceding, we just need to play our game right until the end and not be too defensive minded,
Our CB's have been pretty solid in the last few games too.
I'll put £20 on just in case..No need to throw away even a pence.

Calabria will be missed but Hernandez is back, really like this guy.Line-ups according to today's La Gazzetta dello Sport
Unavailable players: Calabria, Rebic, Mandzukic, Maldini, Rafael Leao; Cavani, Martial, Bailly, Mata, Jones
Risk of suspension: Donnarumma, Romagnoli, Saelemakers; Lindelof, Maguire, McTominay, Williams
Not confident at all about us.. Calabria is a big absence first of all, Dalot is not as good as him. They miss 2 important players upfront but we're in an even worse situation: Mandzukic, Rebic, Rafael Leao not available and our whole attack on the shoulders of a 39 y.o. player who's not even fully fit and won't be able to play more than 60 minutes..
It's the same two midfielders as last time. Meite and Kessie.Pogba has to start. Their full Midfield is back
Its not any 39 year old player though, it's your top scorer this season. Leao has been rubbish when I've seen him tbh.Line-ups according to today's La Gazzetta dello Sport
Unavailable players: Calabria, Rebic, Mandzukic, Maldini, Rafael Leao; Cavani, Martial, Bailly, Mata, Jones
Risk of suspension: Donnarumma, Romagnoli, Saelemakers; Lindelof, Maguire, McTominay, Williams

And we where bad last time so either way we need PogbaIt's the same two midfielders as last time. Meite and Kessie.
Bennacer is not going to start.
Calhanoglu probably will start but I hope he won't because he's terribly off form. Brahim Diaz is better.
We missed two open goals while playing shite.It's hilarious how many people think this is going to be a stroll. I know I'm often pessimistic but there do seem to be people who predict a win in every game! I have no idea why some people are saying Milan aren't a good side. Didn't they watch last week's game? Do they still hold the idea that Serie A is a weak league? Just odd to me. They looked very well organised at OT, were by far the better team and they are going to be stronger today.
... which is why I want Pogba in there instead of for example James. Creativity, passing, and a bigger threat from long range. Him and Bruno has also worked very well together at times breaking through the lines of a low block. I don't really see this as more counter attacking than most other line ups?Problem with all these counter-attacking line ups is that we are the ones who will have to chase the game. We are out if we fail to score.
I have no idea how you work that out - other than maybe at English bookiesWe missed two open goals while playing shite.
I don't think tonight game will be a stroll but we are still massive favourites to win it.
It's hilarious how many people think this is going to be a chore. I know I'm often optimistic but there do seem to be people who predict a loss in every game! I have no idea why some people are saying United aren't a good side. Didn't they watch most games this season? Do they still hold the idea that Premier League is a weak league? Just odd to me. We've looked very well organised away from OT this season, and we are going to be stronger today.It's hilarious how many people think this is going to be a stroll.

To be honest, I'd rather we go all out attacking, we ain't protecting any sort of lead here, you know go down swinging an all, and I am sure Milan will try to attack too, so it will be end to end stuff, what might matter is who's most clinical.If our line up is Fred Pogba and Bruno I wont be surprised if we lose. Go out all attacking and our defenders get exposed.
Yeah, right?! Anybody would think they support Manchester United or something......It's hilarious how many people think this is going to be a stroll. I know I'm often pessimistic but there do seem to be people who predict a win in every game!
My man Samid, well said.It's hilarious how many people think this is going to be a chore. I know I'm often optimistic but there do seem to be people who predict a loss in every game!

As is right and proper!Yeah. But I use it to belittle the bitter ole out brigade
