Both teams are going to have some awkward press conferences.
Jose only joins from next season onwardsAnyone think Roma will get a "new manager" bump?
I was joking!Jose only joins from next season onwards
The double irony of fate is that Ole took down Mourinho’s team thorougly and next thing he was fired. Then Ole dismantles another team so heavily that they go on hiring Mourinho. Ole is certainly a guy with a conscience!Anyone think Roma will get a "new manager" bump?
Yup, exactly this.Full strength first half to preserve match fitness, then 3 or 4 subs for 2nd half
Your logic is sound.6 - 2(*2) = United 6 - 4 Roma
2 - 0(*2) = Roma 2 - 0 United
6-6 on aggregate. They progress on 2vs0 away goals.
No your maths is absolutely correct, of course we would be out when it’s 6-10 on aggregate.My maths is awful but to my shock I find it's better than some people here... lose 4-0 and we're out! Four
Probably, yeah. Would love to see Amad get some lengthy game time today though.The Liverpool game being postponed probably means that this will be an almost full strength lineup.
Bet Chris Smalling must be delighted.Jose only joins from next season onwards
This all day long but I think the semi final record is playing on his mind in truth. There is experience there with DDG, Mata, Matic, VDB, Bailly, Telles, all have played European football at a high level and none of the others are so awful we would expect to lose 4 nil.If we can't trust our bench to defend a 6-2 lead we have some work on our hands
Greenwood
James Mata Diallo
Matic van de Beek
Telles Bailly Tuanzebe Williams
De Gea
Good combination of youth and experience
This was pretty close my first thought at a starting XI, but Ole's not going to do that. I do think he'll start a bit stronger, probably with Greenwood on the right, Cavani in the middle, and Fred instead of VDB. AWB will probably be in RB, as well. But he will use all five subs, probably two or three at the half if we're up.DDG
Williams Bailly Maguire Telles
Matic VDB
James Fernandes Pogba
Greenwood
With 5 subs, we should be able to take off the more senior players on the 60th min mark.
Brandon Williams seems to have been forgotten about. And yet, I was quite impressed with him when he broke into the team last year.This would be a good game to give minutes to some of Telles, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Williams, Donny, Diallo,... but not too many of them as they need to play with starting xi players.
Yes he has totally disappeared. Was one of the positive surprises and now... nothing.Brandon Williams seems to have been forgotten about. And yet, I was quite impressed with him when he broke into the team last year.
Ok. He is not as good yet as Luke Shaw, but I thought he showed a lot of promise.
With this busy schedule ahead I think it's clear a number of players will be rested tomorrow. And at this stage in the season most will have niggles.Some of you are mad heads wanting changes all through the team. The only players rested should be those with niggles.
We don't want a repeat of what happened in Turkey.Get half the reserves on ffs next week gonna be murder
We'd be out, 6-7Can we just not go there at all and lose 3:0
Wouldn't we go through 6-5?We'd be out, 6-7
Something like that but James is injured and probably out for another week or two.With a view to Aston Villa next, I'd rotate some players and look to make changes early. Bruno/AWB/McTominay/Greenwood all subbed off.

AWB - Bailly - Maguire - Telles
Matic - McTominay
James - Bruno - Van de Beek
Greenwood
They have 2 away goals.Wouldn't we go through 6-5?
