Ole is playing down the cups but they are more important than he is letting on.
We are a long time without a trophy.
This would be the last season he'd be able to get away without winning one really.
And we will have less winnable trophies next year since it's unlikely we would be in the Europa.
Winning one before we reach 5 years without a trophy would be a massive step
Also no excuses to be knocked out by another team that is worse than ourselves
I was being sarcastic mate, about the thread that was created to bash Ole about his smiling.
Personally I prefer a smiling manager to a miserable sh*thouse like MourinhoTweet

We do well in that kitEdi will be a big miss. His runs are really intelligent and helps opposition defenders go where they don’t like toCavani out too sucks ! Come on Greenwood - you are due a goal.So Cavani is now out, off to change my lineup prediction. Presumably a front three of Rashford, James and Greenwood then.
Zlatan will be very tough for our defence to handle. Maguire vs Zlatan, two of the aerially most dominant players in Europe.
I'd take you up on that bet, especially if Rebic and Leao are out.
Think Kessie is the likeliest to score outside of Zlatan.
Of course it was. Getting roughed up is part of any game anyway, it's not like there aren't thugs at any club of any level. It's about being fit enough to run up and down the pitch, this is a must win game against a much better team.
Good for youCavani's fitness is starting to prove a real burden.
We can't have nice things can we
Was always a risky signing by a club trying to take the cheap route.
Just like Falcao, Ibra and Igalho. That's why it's time to go all out for Halaand. Stop fecking aroundNo Cavani/Martial makes this a fair bit harder.
Martial out as well? Jeez - after his form last season, Greenwood's goals and adding Cavani to the mix, I wasn't expecting the 9 role to be an issue for us this season. It's our weakest link right now.
Why don't we play without a striker + Bruno / VDBThrow Pogba straight back in.
We'll need at least 2 goals, I'd rather go all out and get eliminated than go out with a cowardly approach.
It does but we have a superior team still. No excusesCavani has to go at the end of the season I’m afraid. Not happy to say that in particular because he’s generally been a class act here, but while his footballing ability hasn’t deteriorated with age, his fitness definitely has.

Attack them hard. 1-2 United.
Milan have a pretty good side. Be interesting what people think a combined 11 would look like based on tomorrow’s squads (without Pogba who I seriously doubt can start). Going to be a good game I think.
Full strength?
These players might get called up but all of them are having fitness issues at the moment
Kjaer
Zlatan
Rebic
Leao
Bennacer
Calhanoglu
Hernandez
Romagnoli
Mandzukic
Tonali
Calabria
Diaz
That's almost the full lineup and some of the best reserves.
Calabria won't start and he's the least replacable in the team.
We will have a stronger bench this time, but the starting lineup will probably be weaker if you factor in form.We got 1 choice up front, its Rashford and Greenwood, can see same team that played on Sunday starting, Pogba bench bring him on around 60 mins if we need a goal. 0-1 we go through.
But still, with the possibility that Ibra plays, he is one of those few players who can make his team win any game.Hope Ole can pull a miracle like the one against PSG in Paris. But I do not think we can win this one.Martial confirmed out and the injury prone Cavani picked up another injury in training today and won't be travelling.
Bailly has some knock so a possibility of the Lindelof, Maguire pairing again.
Possible changes to starting 11 from the first leg?
Out - Henderson, Bailly, Telles, Matic, Martial
In - DeGea, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, RashfordYeah Cavani can go, he's proving just as injury prone as I expected sadly. You want him fit for these key games, the business end of the season, and where is he. He's been great when fit, but that doesn't happen enough to make another year worth it at the expense of making a more reliable striker signing.
I'm hoping you're aware that thread was also a joke.
Yeah. But I use it to belittle the bitter ole out brigadeI'd go for a 433 with a false 9.
Get Pogba in the team and Bruno as the false 9.
We need goals. No point trying to grind out a 1-0.
Ahh yes, amazing that it's been so few times considering the size of the teams he's played for.Start Pogba and if we are losing 3-0 then take him off. No point subbing him on if we need to chase the game. Get right at them from the start. I would be tempeted to see Bruno start at false 9 with Paul behind him, Rashy and Greenwood on either sideRather not see James for this game.I'm getting quite optimistic about this.
1-2 for us.
Martial being out actually strengthens our chances as it is less likely he will be on the field of play.With Cavani and Martial out this is a really big game for Mason. I'd definitely start Pogba as we need a boost and we need to score, he's one of the few creative players we have.- Henderson

Any sort of win and we are through yeah? I'm pretty confident in our away form and our players taking our chances
I am really spending too much time on the caf, so some time off it would let me focus on more important things. So I propose following: if Zlatan scores, I will not post on here for 2 weeks. If he does not, you will switch to read-only mode for the same period, deal? A harmless bet that would add extra fun to tomorrow's game.
I'd take you up on that bet, especially if Rebic and Leao are out.
Think Kessie is the likeliest to score outside of Zlatan.Last edited by a moderator:I remember Maguire being excellent against Zlatan for Hull, which left me baffled why we didn't go for him for £15m that summer. Hopefully more of the same. I think we're going to struggle to score though, that last minute goal was a killer for us.- Status
